This is a copy of RFC 1578 and you might want to visit the IETF
site which is the source of this document:

<URL:http://ds.internic.net/ds/dspg0intdoc.html>

The IETF is the Internet Engineering Task Force, which collects
information and sets standards used on the Internet.  They
coordinate Requests For Comment (RFC) which pretty much
document everything there is to know about the Internet.

Most are so technical that only software and hardware
developers would be interested in them, but many such
as the one cited above are useful. Plus, it's always
educational to browse.

You can do keyword searches of the RFCs from:
