Current document in this lineage: RFC 1413 — Identification Protocol
In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC
This RFC suggests a proposed protocol for the ARPA-Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. This is the second draft of this proposal (superseding RFC-912) and incorporates a more formal description of the syntax for the request and response dialog, as well as a change to specify the type of user identification returned.
