IETF Activities

Internet RFCs

The RFC (Request for Comments) document series is the official archival publication channel for all Internet protocol standards specifications, plus other documents that may be historical, experimental, or informational, published by the IESG, IAB, and Internet community. These files contain the RFCs that members of Telematics Group (TMG) at the University of Goettingen have written.

• Analysis of Existing Quality-of-Service Signaling Protocols, RFC 4094, Jukka Manner and Xiaoming Fu, May 2005.

Internet-Drafts

Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), its areas, and its working groups. Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts. These files contain the different versions of each Internet-Draft that we have written.
