Operating System Internet Protocol Version 6: Request for Comments and Internet Drafts By Joseph Davies Microsoft Corporation Published: August 2001 Abstract This article outlines how Internet drafts dealing with standards for TCP/IP become RFCs. Included is a table listing the RFCs and Internet drafts related to the implementation of the IPv6 protocol in Microsoft® Windows® XP and Microsoft Windows .NET Server. This is a preliminary document and may be changed substantially prior to final commercial release of the software described herein.

RFCs are an evolving series of reports, proposals for protocols, and protocol standards that describe the internal workings of TCP/IP and the Internet. Although TCP/IP standards are always published as RFCs, not all RFCs specify standards. RFCs are authored by individuals who voluntarily write and submit a draft proposal for a new protocol or specification to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and other working groups. Submitted Internet drafts are first reviewed by a technical expert, a task force, or an RFC editor, and then assigned a status. If an Internet draft passes this initial review stage, it is circulated to the larger Internet community for a period of time for further comment and review, and assigned an RFC number. This RFC number remains constant. If changes are made to the proposed specification, Internet drafts that are revised or updated are circulated by using a new RFC (a number higher than the original RFC number) to identify more recent documents. Table of RFCs and Internet DraftsThe following table lists the RFCs and Internet drafts related to the implementation of the IPv6 protocol in Microsoft® Windows® XP and Microsoft Windows .NET Server.
