What is RFC in Networking?
RFC stands for Request For Comments and is mainly used to develop standard network protocols. It is a technical document published by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) that contains various networking protocols, procedures, applications and technologies.
Almost all network protocols on the internet are built using RFCs. The final version of the document is published and sequentially numbered, which then becomes the standard. All standard network protocols such as FTP, HTTP, TCP, UDP, IP, etc., are defined as RFCs which form the base for cross-platform network communication.
