What RFC 1918 addresses?

An RFC1918 address is an IP address that is assigned by an enterprise organization to an internal host. These IP addresses are used in private networks, which are not available, or reachable, from the Internet. In fact, one of the basic requirements of the Internet is that each host has a unique IP address.

What is the RFC for ARP?

RFC 826
ARP was defined in 1982 by RFC 826, which is Internet Standard STD 37. ARP has been implemented with many combinations of network and data link layer technologies, such as IPv4, Chaosnet, DECnet and Xerox PARC Universal Packet (PUP) using IEEE 802 standards, FDDI, X.25, Frame Relay and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM).

How do you calculate RFCs?

The canonical place to find RFCs is the RFC Editor Web Site. However, as we’ll see below, some key information is missing there, so most people use tools.ietf.org. Even finding the right RFC can be difficult since there are so many (currently, nearly 9,000!).

Where can I find RFCs?

The RFCs can be found in the directory /rfc, with file names of the form: rfcNNNN. txt or rfcNNNN.ps where NNNN refers to the RFC number. RFCs can be obtained from the ftp.nic.it FTP archive with the pathname rfc/rfcnnnn. txt (where “nnnn” refers to the number of the RFC).
