...RFC- 5/16 Just another confusing name for the computer illiterate, RFC is not so much what it once was and has evolved over the years. The definition of an RFC is not true any longer; however, it does still retain all of the procedures that were set up in the beginning. There is a long path that one must take in order to get An RFC put in place, proper support and drafts are required for any submissions to be taken seriously. An RFC or Request for Comment is a publication or work of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as well as the Internet Society. It is basically a list of standards, behaviors that one should set up and practice and informational information that is deemed important for people to know. This is all published by the IETF as their engineers are the majority of the authors, but there are ways for independent submissions to become recognized. The first step of an RFC is to get an Internet Draft ready or (I-D). This step is basically what an old school RFC really was; it is a submission to fellow peers for comments and suggestion. There are multitudes of I-Ds out on the web with many of them picking up attention; those picking up the most attention have the best shot at becoming a RFC. IT is all about what will affect the most people in a positive manner, and the Draft is the perfect testing tool. While being tested and all, the Drafts are only valid for a half year unless they release an updated version. At this point in the process, it is important...

...RFC Explained Keith Stellmach 7/14/2013 DeVry University First we should start with an explanation of what an RFC is, an RFC or Request for Comments is a formal document in which contains technical information about the internet. RFC’s include specifications, policies, internet standards and organizational ideas. The Organization that produces these documents is the IETF or the Internet Engineering Task Force and more specifically a small group of people called the Internet society on behalf of the IETF. The RFC’s have a long history and were first created in 1969 as working notes for ARPAnet, since then the RFC database has grown significantly with a multitude of the earlier publications becoming outdated. For the first 29 years of publication, The RFC database was edited and monitored by Jon Postel until his death in 1998. Now that we know a little about RFC’s, let me elaborate on a few topics, lets divulge into what an internet draft is, a little about the IETF, and finally what the process is to produce an RFC. An internet draft is basically a working document used by the IETF. During the creation of a new RFC, draft versions are created and made available so that the public can view it. Doing this, peers and others in the industry can review these drafts and comment on them whether they are commenting on what can be changed or on what they think of the new publication, it gives the editors some new ideas and ways to improve or change the new documentation before...

...Researching RFCs Objectives Part 1: RFC Editor Navigate to the RFC Editor. Search for RFCs using keywords. Find RFCs by status. Search for humorous RFCs. Part 2: Publishing RFCs Background / Scenario Request for Comments (RFCs) were created by Steve Crocker to help record notes on development of Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) in 1969 and eventually evolved into an official collection of memorandum that describes topics that are mainly related to the Internet and the TCP/IP protocol suite. Today the RFCs are managed by the IETF. There are currently over 6,000 RFCs, and the complete list is available at http://www.ietf.org/download/rfc-index.txt. In this lab, you will learn how an RFC is published today by IETF. Additionally, you will also identify a few well-known RFCs that are used in your network. You can also find a few non-technical RFCs that can provide information or engineering humor. Required Resources Device with Internet access RFC Editor RFCs started as a collection of memorandum on the development of the first Internet (ARPANET). In this collection, only a few RFCs are considered as Internet standards. Most of the RFCs describe experimental protocols. Some of the RFCs are only informational. The main purpose of RFCs is to stimulate comment and discussion. Navigate to the RFC Editor. All the published RFCs are available for access at http://www.rfc-editor.org. The RFC Editor is an RFC repository maintained by the IETF. At the top banner...

...INTERNET INFRASTRUCTURE IN TURKEY Many things have changed since Arpanet. If we look to the 30 or 40 years back, we may be startled to see how much has changed in such a small span of time (and in such a fast way). The first thing that strikes our mind about this change is the "speed of the Internet": The first "backbone" had a bandwidth in 2 Kbps. Nowadays it has a bandwidth of 10 Gigabytes per second. We have mutliplied our speed 5-10 thousand times in the course of the time. Another example is the number of people using the computer Networks in Turkey. The Internet which was being used by only a few people 40 years ago, has now become the “network of networks” that has been shared by everybody and that embrace the world globally. Unfortunately there’s not much room for everyone on Internet. To solve this problem Internet Protocol is used which is basically a number allocation system that assigns a number to everyone. Every person, who will connect to the Internet or is already connected, has an IP number by default -to put it in more technical terms- has an "IP address" by default. If you’d like to have a space on Internet, the first thing you are to do is to find an IP adress from somewhere. For instance, if you are attending a University, most probably your department will assign you one. Then, how on earth your department has obtained that IP address from? Most probably, they have obtained the IP number from that university’s office for Information Technology...

...DeVry University Johnnie Walker July 7, 2014 RFC'c First, I have to define the term RFC. The acronym "RFC" stands for "Request for Comment". This refers to a description of a standard for new or modified internet or networking protocols. When standards are proposed, they are made available for public comment so that they can be refined and agreed upon. The document which details the proposed standards is called a "request for comment" document, or RFC. When the standards are finalized, they keep the same "RFC" Three organizations under the Internet Society are responsible for the actual work of standards development and publication: Three organizations under the Internet Society are responsible for the actual work of standards development and publication:name. Now a Request for Comments (RFC) is a publication of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and the Internet Society, the principal technical development and standards-setting bodies for the Internet. Request for Comments documents were invented by Steve Crocker in 1969 to help record unofficial notes on the development of ARPANET. RFCs have since become official documents of Internet specifications, communications protocols, procedures, and events. Today, it is the official publication channel for the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the Internet Architecture Board (IAB), and — to some extent — the global community of computer network researchers in general. A new model was proposed...

...Internet Engineering Taskforce (IETF) Name Professor Class Date REQUEST FOR COMMENTS (RFC) In the concept of computer network engineering the term RFC refers to a published memorandum by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). This is an informative document that provides information on such items as current research, important new innovations, methods and other aspects relative to the working of the internet and connected IT systems. The idea was designed by Steve Crocker in the late 60’s. This has since been adopted to contain the official records for development specifications for the internet, improvement of protocols and notification of important related events. Each RFC is assigned a specific reference number. As such, once this number has been assigned and published it can never be revised, changed or updated. Should changes be required the author has to publish a revised document which has been assigned with another unique serial number. This approach ensures that there is a well-documented trail of the evolution and development of the internet. There are potentially four main categories of RFC’s. These are enumerated as: - (1) IETF (2) IRTF (3) IAB and (4) Independent submission. The source for obtaining RFC’s is by access from the RFC Editor. Historically all submissions were written in plain ASCII text and published in that format. Other versions are available today as part of a modernization of the process. The RFC Editor web site is a good starting...

Don’t look for an obscure answer – choose the most obvious answer. The number of routers in the Internet The distance between a ground station and a satellite in geosynchronous orbit. The size of IP packets transmitted in any given HTTP session (i.e., Web browser connected to Web server). The average round-trip time in any Internet based client server application (round-trip time is the interval between the time you send a request and the time that you receive a response). Answer: a) The four components of delay in a communication delay are: Nodal processing: This is the delay that occurs at nodes due to the processing for bit errors and determining the output link. Queuing: This is the delay due to the packet waiting at output link for transmission. Transmission delay: This is the delay caused by the data rate of the link. Propagation...

...of the internet society publish such documents in the form of an RFC to inform users of any new innovation or discovery. These are widely accept as intent standards after they have been peer reviewed and found suitable for acceptance by the IETF the RFC is used to record internet specifications, protocols and events in internet development. A request for content can be prepared in series and submitted for approval. The serial number records the internet protocol series as issued by the IETF and this shows the evolution of internet practices over period of time. The RFC 2026 is a piece on the rise of internet standards. This document is compiled of exerts from different working groups within the field of internet technology and related activities. The internet draft which is the initial document has to be prepared first before the RFC is submitted. The RFC is said to be the final version of an accepted and reviewed internet practice. These RFC working groups are generally experts in the field of internet and computer engineering. These requests for content are simple and easy to understand documents. Any working group can publish a request for content which is then peer reviewed by the IETF before it becomes an accepted internet protocol. Internet Drafts are the working documents of the IETF. While making an internet draft and during the development of specifications, the different versions of the draft are thrown open for informal reviews so that people can review it by placing...

...Navid Ganjian CIT360 – Professor Seno Assignment #5 – Technical Report LDAP LDAP stands for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. This protocol is used by programs that need to look up for information in a special database called a directory on a server. LDAP is not only used to search for information about people and their contact info, it is also used to access to the information about users, computers, printers, and other components on a network. LDAP provides a very useful feature called “Single Sign On” or SSO for short. This feature helps users to use single username and password to access multiple applications which need authentication. In Linux systems, OpenLDAP software is one of the most popular implementations of LDAP which is an open source program. The latest version of OpenLDAP is 2.4.42 which includes: stand-alone LDAP daemon (server), libraries that implement the LDAP protocol, utilities, tools, and sample clients. Microsoft also has its own implementation of LDAP which is called Active Directory Services. LDAP directory uses tree structure, and each entry inside the directory called an object. DIT or Directory Information Tree is a hierarchy which defines the positioning of the objects within the directory. Each object can be tracked by its complete path called DN or Distinguished Name. Each DN has a component called RDN (Relative Distinguished Name) which describes the path of an entry relative to another entry. Common Name (cn) is an attribute that is used...

...Existing System The existing system is such that request for portfolio transfer usually involves the client intimating his current broker of his intention to move, often times such request is usually resisted by the existing broker not formally though but by employing antics that would discourage the client from moving, a request for transfer could lie fallow at the broker office without being attended to and the process is not regulated by the regulator (Nigerian Stock Exchange Commission). The existing system is lord over by the broker and the time it takes to complete the request is usually long and discourage the transfer process. 3.1 Analysis of the New System 3.1.1 Architecture of New System The new system is such that an application that will hastens the process of transferring brokerage accounts from one broker to another. The system will be used for entering, notifying and initiating transfers of brokerage account from one stock broking firm to another under the supervision and monitoring of the Nigerian Stock Exchange. The new process involves the client approaching the a new broker where he intends to transfer his portfolio, the new broker will in turn after getting the necessary know Your Client (KYC) documentation will log into the application via a token and initiate the transfer. Upon receipt of the transfer by the current broker via sms and email alert, the current broker is bound by law to respond to the request within three days. The current broker is bound...

For instance, network #1 had intrusive access via a Microsoft ISS web server to cmd.exe, which allowed complete access to the system. This was achieved through a buffer overflow attack against IIS. As such, the administrator of this network should ensure that all systems are fully patched in order to avoid known exploits. For network #2, an exploit via phpBB enabled access to the system. Network #3, “EXPLOI~1.RTF”, which a user must have downloaded, was executed, opening up a backdoor into the system. Unfortunately, as outlined in my conclusion, an in-depth analysis of this data was aborted partly due to time mismanagement and a very large course load for the term.

... There are dozens upon dozens of popular interactive applications with many of these easily implemented. Many web designers are offering these tools as standard features with websites. The key is picking the interactive features that will make the most sense for the company and the user. This paper will focus on the following: Contact Forms, Google Maps, and Comments. Requesting Additional Information Because it is impossible to put every bit of information about a company or product on a website, the customer needs the ability to reach out to the company to request additional information, schedule an appointment, have a representative contact him or her, et cetera. The easiest way to accomplish this is by the user completing a contact form. By tailoring the contents of the form designers can meet the needs of both the company and the customer. The website in this project is an American Civil War Reenactor’s site. The contact form will have drop down boxes to select the type of inquiry and a text box to type comments or questions. Users can request information on joining the unit, request a unit visit to their organization, or just ask a quick question. There is e-mail functionality built in so responses will come via e-mail. Google Maps “One of the primary reasons to use Google Maps is free, turn-by-turn directions to get you across town or across the country.

The proposed rule changes for renewal certification are to reflect changes adopted by legislature statures made during 2013. During 2013 the legislature changed the license renewal from every three years to every year. The changes related to continuing professional education are to clarify what was considered confusing language in the past others no changes are being made to the requirements. The changes to the firm names are to adopt 2013 legislation changes. 3. Write the public comment which you would submit to this proposal. If the proposed regulation deadline has already passed, write the comment you would have submitted. Explain briefly what you wish to accomplish with your comment. (10 points) It is in my opinion that the proposed changes are necessary and clarifying and very much needed. I feel that the MBOA are really thinking about the rules set forth in Minnesota Statues, section 326A.02, subdivision 5 are very explanatory in nature and don’t change requirements or laws pertaining to licenses or continuing education thus they just provide for more explanatory clarification and take out confusing language thus I think...
