If you are ordering RFCs individually, the attached subsets of RFCs can guide
you in ordering a list of RFCs by topic, such as "mail" or "gateways".
Related RFCs are grouped together within each set.
This is not an official list of RFCs; rather, it is intended to be used as a
guide to selecting RFCs by topic. Call the Network Information Systems
Center if you need assistance with ordering RFCs. For a complete list of
RFCs, see the RFC Index.
NOTE: RFCs marked with an asterisk (*) are not included in the
1985 DDN Protocol Handbook.
RFCs marked with a plus sign (+) appear in more than one set,
so check the list carefully when ordering.
