BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) RFCs 951,1048,1084
UDP  (User Datagram Protocol) RFC 768
IP (Internet Protocol) RFC 791

======================================================================

RFCs can be obtained via FTP from NIC.DDN.MIL, with the pathname
RFC:RFCnnnn.TXT (where "nnnn" refers to the number of the RFC).  Login
with FTP, username ANONYMOUS and password GUEST.  The NIC also
provides an automatic mail service for those sites which cannot use
FTP.  Address the request to SERVICE@NIC.DDN.MIL and in the subject
field of the message indicate the RFC number, as in "Subject: RFC
nnnn".

RFCs can also be obtained via FTP from NIS.NSF.NET.  Using FTP, login
with username ANONYMOUS and password GUEST; then connect to the RFC
directory ("cd RFC").  The file name is of the form RFCnnnn.TXT-1
(where "nnnn" refers to the number of the RFC).

The NIS also provides an automatic mail service for those sites which
cannot use FTP.  Address the request to NIS-INFO@NIS.NSF.NET and leave
the subject field of the message blank. The first line of the text of
the message mist be "SEND RFCnnnn.TXT-1", where nnnn is replaced by
the RFC number.
