# RFC

Request for Comments

A numbered document in the series that records the internet's technical standards and practices, including those for the DNS, EPP and RDAP. Most come from the IETF. Not every one is a standard: some are informational or experimental. Once published, the text is never changed, only replaced by a later one.
