2296 Holtman Mar 1998 HTTP Remote Variant Selection
Algorithm -- RVSA/1.0
HTTP allows web site authors to put multiple versions of the same
information under a single URL. Transparent content negotiation is a
mechanism for automatically selecting the best version when the URL is
accessed. A remote variant selection algorithm can be used to speed up
the transparent negotiation process. This document defines the remote
variant selection algorithm with the version number 1.0. This memo
defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community. It does
not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Discussion and
suggestions for improvement are requested.
2295 Holtman Mar 1998 Transparent Content
Negotiation in HTTP
HTTP allows web site authors to put multiple versions of the same
information under a single URL. Transparent content negotiation is an
extensible negotiation mechanism, layered on top of HTTP, for
automatically selecting the best version when the URL is accessed. This
enables the smooth deployment of new web data formats and markup tags.
This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Discussion and

information mapping in the OSI Directory: Mapping from a key to a value
(or set of values), as might be done in a table lookup, and mapping from
a distinguished name to an associated value (or values), where the
values are not defined by the owner of the entry. This is achieved by
use of a directory subtree. [STANDARDS-TRCK]

implemented, would improve the efficiency of common remote editing
operations, provide a locking mechanism to prevent overwrite conflicts,
improve link management support between non-HTML data types, provide a
simple attribute-value metadata facility, provide for the creation and
reading of container data types, and integrate versioning into the WWW.

specify an Internet standard of any kind.
2290 Solomon Feb 1998 Mobile-IPv4 Configuration
Option for PPP IPCP
Mobile IP [RFC 2002] defines media-independent procedures by which a
Mobile Node can maintain existing transport and application-layer
connections despite changing its point-of-attachment to the Internet and
without changing its IP address. PPP [RFC 1661] provides a standard
method for transporting multi-protocol packets over point-to-point
links. As currently specified, Mobile IP Foreign Agents which support
Mobile Node connections via PPP can do so only by first assigning unique
addresses to those Mobile Nodes, defeating one of the primary advantages
of Foreign Agents. This documents corrects this problem by defining the
Mobile-IPv4 Configuration Option to the Internet Protocol Control
Protocol (IPCP) [RFC 1332]. Using this option, two peers can
communicate their support for Mobile IP during the IPCP phase of PPP. Familiarity with Mobile IP [RFC 2002], IPCP [RFC 1332], and PPP [RFC 1661] is assumed. [STANDARDS-TRACK] 2289 Haller Feb 1998 A One-Time Password System This document describes a one-time password authentication system (OTP).

kind.
2284 Blunk Mar 1998 PPP Extensible Authentication
Protocol (EAP)

also defines an extensible Link Control Protocol, which allows
negotiation of an Authentication Protocol for authenticating its peer
before allowing Network Layer protocols to transmit over the link. This
document defines the PPP Extensible Authentication Protocol.

2283 Bates Feb 1998 Multiprotocol Extensions for
BGP-4
This document defines extensions to BGP-4 to enable it to carry routing
information for multiple Network Layer protocols (e.g., IPv6, IPX,

the extensions can interoperate with a router that doesn't support the
extensions. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

fails. This memo provides information for the Internet community. It
does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.
2280 Alaettinoglu Jan 1998 Routing Policy Specification
Language (RPSL)
This memo is the reference document for the Routing Policy Specification
Language (RPSL). RPSL allows a network operator to be able to specify
routing policies at various levels in the Internet hierarchy; for
example at the Autonomous System (AS) level. At the same time, policies
can be specified with sufficient detail in RPSL so that low level router
configurations can be generated from them. RPSL is extensible; new
routing protocols and new protocol features can be introduced at any
time. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
2279 Yergeau Jan 1998 UTF-8, a transformation format

other values. This memo updates and replaces RFC 2044, in particular
addressing the question of versions of the relevant standards.

2278 Freed Jan 1998 IANA Charset
Registration Procedures
MIME [RFC-2045, RFC-2046, RFC-2047, RFC-2184] and various other modern
Internet protocols are capable of using many different charsets. This in
turn means that the ability to label different charsets is essential.
This registration procedure exists solely to associate a specific name
or names with a given charset and to give an indication of whether or
not a given charset can be used in MIME text objects. This document
specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the Internet Community,
and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.

[STANDARDS-TRACK] 2270 Stewart Jan 1998 Using a Dedicated AS for Sites Homed to a Single Provider With the increased growth of the Internet, the number of customers using BGP4 has grown significantly. RFC1930 outlines a set of guidelines for when one needs and should use an AS. However, the customer and service provider (ISP) are left with a problem as a result of this in that while there is no need for an allocated AS under the guidelines, certain conditions make the use of BGP4 a very pragmatic and perhaps only way to connect a customer homed to a single ISP. This paper proposes a solution to this problem in line with recommendations set forth in RFC1930. This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.

A MARC record contains metadata for an information resource following MARC format specifications. This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. 2219 Hamilton Oct 1997 Use of DNS Aliases for Network Services It has become a common practice to use symbolic names (usually CNAMEs) in the Domain Name Service (DNS - [RFC-1034, RFC-1035]) to refer to network services such as anonymous FTP [RFC-959] servers, Gopher [RFC- 1436] servers, and most notably World-Wide Web HTTP [RFC-1945] servers. This is desirable for a number of reasons. It provides a way of moving services from one machine to another transparently, and a mechanism by which people or agents may programmatically discover that an organization runs, say, a World-Wide Web server. Although this approach has been almost universally adopted, there is no standards document or similar specification for these commonly used names. This document seeks to rectify this situation by gathering together the extant 'folklore' on naming conventions, and proposes a mechanism for accommodating new protocols. This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. 2218 Genovese Oct 1997 A Common Schema for the Internet White Pages Service This document specifies the minimum set of core attributes of a White Pages entry for an individual and describes how new objects with those attributes can be defined and published.
