I am curious about the specifications of IP/TCP/UD/ICMP on Berkeley machines.
Do the RFC's describe all the facets of the protocols?? I have heard about
something called Military Standards (MIL-STD-17xx) which describe the military
versions of the protocols. Do the protocols on the BSD machines have
characteristics from both the RFC's and MIL-STD's (There was mention of
MIL-STD's during the recent battle concerning SO_KEEPALIVE) ??

Also, are the MIL-STDS's a good reference and are they available by uucp
or anonymous ftp?
