Bootstrap Protocol ----------------------------------------- (BOOTP)
STATUS: Experimental
SPECIFICATION: RFC 951
COMMENTS:
This proposed protocol provides an IP/UDP bootstrap protocol
which allows a diskless client machine to discover its own IP
address, the address of a server host, and the name of a file
to be loaded into memory and executed.
Please discuss any plans for implementation or use of this
protocol with the contact.

Loader Debugger Protocol ------------------------------------- (LDP)
STATUS: Experimental
SPECIFICATION: RFC 909
COMMENTS:
Specifies a protocol for loading, dumping and debugging target
machines from hosts in a network environment. It is also
designed to accommodate a variety of target CPU types. It
provides a powerful set of debugging services, while at the
same time, it is structured so that a simple subset may be
implemented in applications like boot loading where efficiency
and space are at a premium.
Please discuss any plans for implementation or use of this
protocol with the contact.

Internet Protocol on IEEE 802 ---------------------------- (IP-IEEE)
STATUS: Recommended
SPECIFICATION: see comments
COMMENTS:
At an ad hoc special session on "IEEE 802 Networks and ARP"
held during the TCP Vendors Workshop (August 1986), an approach
to a consistent way to sent DOD-IP datagrams and other IP
related protocols on 802 networks was developed.
Due to some evolution of the IEEE 802.2 standards and the need
to provide for a standard way to do additional DOD-IP related
protocols (such as Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)) on IEEE
802 networks, the following new policy is established, which
will replace the current policy (see RFC-990 section on IEEE
802 Numbers of Interest, and RFC-948).
The policy is for DDN and Internet community to use IEEE 802.2
encapsulation on 802.3, 802.4, and 802.5 networks by using the
SNAP with an organization code indicating that the following 16
bits specify the Ethertype code (where IP = 2048 (0800 hex),
see RFC-1010 section on Ethernet Numbers of Interest).
Header
...--------+--------+--------+
MAC Header| Length | 802.{3/4/5} MAC
...--------+--------+--------+
+--------+--------+--------+
| Dsap=K1| Ssap=K1| control| 802.2 SAP
+--------+--------+--------+
Reynolds & Postel [Page 42]
RFC 1011 - Official Internet Protocols May 1987
+--------+--------+---------+--------+--------+
|protocol id or org code =K2| Ether Type | 802.2 SNAP
+--------+--------+---------+--------+--------+
The total length of the SAP Header and the SNAP header is
8-octets, making the 802.2 protocol overhead come out on a nice
boundary.
K1 is 170. The IEEE like to talk about things in bit
transmission order and specifies this value as 01010101. In
big-endian order, as used in Internet specifications, this
becomes 10101010 binary, or AA hex, or 170 decimal.
K2 is 0 (zero).
Note: The method described in RFC 948 (in DPH) is no longer to
be used.

ISO Transport Services on Top of the TCP ---------------------------
STATUS:
SPECIFICATION: RFC 1006
COMMENTS:
This memo describes a proposed protocol standard for the
Internet community. The CCITT and the ISO have defined various
session, presentation, and application recommendations which
have been adopted by the international community and numerous
vendors. To the largest extent possible, it is desirable to
offer these higher level services directly to the Internet,
without disrupting existing facilities. This permits users to
develop expertise with ISO and CCITT applications which
previously were not available in the Internet. The intention
is that hosts within the Internet that choose to implement ISO
TSAP services on top of the TCP be expected to adopt and
implement this standard. Suggestions for improvement are
encouraged.
