Hosnieh,

I suggest you read:

http://www.rfc-editor.org/RFCoverview.html

http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2555.txt

http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfcfaq.html

There is also an email list to discuss details of the RFC series, which is
rfc-interest@rfc-editor.org . You can join the list and read the archives
at https://www.rfc-editor.org/mailman/listinfo/rfc-interest .

Cheers,
Andy
