RFC 887:
Title: Resource Location Protocol
Author: M. Accetta
Pages : 16
pathname: <RFC>RFC887.TXT
This RFC specifies a draft standard for the ARPA Internet community.
It describes a resource location protocol for use in the ARPA
Internet. It is most useful on networks employing technologies which
support some method of broadcast addressing, however it may also be
used on other types of networks. For maximum benefit, all hosts
which provide significant resources or services to other hosts on the
Internet should implement this protocol. Hosts failing to implement
the Resource Location Protocol risk being ignored by other hosts
which are attempting to locate resources on the Internet.
These public access files may be copied from the <RFC> directory at
SRI-NIC via FTP with username ANONYMOUS and password GUEST.
Submissions for Requests for Comments should be sent to POSTEL@USC-ISIF.
Requests to be added to or deleted from this distribution list should be
sent to NIC@SRI-NIC.
