The RFC Editor has a list of abbreviations, on which those that are
considered familiar enough not to need expansion are noted with "*":
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc-style-guide/abbrev.expansion.txt

One can find this list from the RFC Editor home page by clicking on
the link to the style guide first.  It probably should be linked
somewhere that's more obvious for draft authors and reviewers to find.

Anyway OSI, TCP, VLAN, BGP, IP, VPN, MPLS, and WAN are all flagged as
not needing expansion, for what that's worth.
