This memo defines a revised version of the Internet Stream Protocol,
originally defined in IEN-119 [8], based on results from experiments
with the original version, and subsequent requests, discussion, and
suggestions for improvements.  This is a Limited-Use Experimental
Protocol.  Please refer to the current edition of the "IAB Official
Protocol Standards" for the standardization state and status of this
protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

RFCs can be obtained via FTP from NIC.DDN.MIL, with the pathname
RFC:RFCnnnn.TXT (where "nnnn" refers to the number of the RFC).  Login
with FTP, username "anonymous" and password "guest".

The NIC also provides an automatic mail service for those sites which
cannot use FTP.  Address the request to SERVICE@NIC.DDN.MIL and in the
subject field of the message indicate the RFC number, as in "Subject:
RFC nnnn".

RFCs can also be obtained via FTP from NIS.NSF.NET.  Using FTP, login
with username "anonymous" and password "guest"; then connect to the RFC
directory ("cd RFC").  The file name is of the form RFCnnnn.TXT-1
(where "nnnn" refers to the number of the RFC).

The NIS also provides an automatic mail service for those sites which
cannot use FTP.  Address the request to NIS-INFO@NIS.NSF.NET and leave
the subject field of the message blank.  The first line of the text of
the message must be "SEND RFCnnnn.TXT-1", where nnnn is replaced by
the RFC number.

Requests for special distribution should be addressed to either the
author of the RFC in question, or to NIC@NIC.DDN.MIL.  Unless
specifically noted otherwise on the RFC itself, all RFCs are for
unlimited distribution.

Submissions for Requests for Comments should be sent to POSTEL@ISI.EDU.

Requests to be added to or deleted from this distribution list should
be sent to RFC-REQUEST@NIC.DDN.MIL.
