👉 RFC (Request for Comments) engineering is a process used in the development and standardization of Internet protocols, primarily managed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It involves creating, proposing, and refining technical specifications through a collaborative, open process that includes public comment periods. RFCs document the design decisions, technical details, and potential impacts of new protocols or amendments to existing ones, allowing stakeholders, developers, and the broader community to review, suggest improvements, and provide feedback. This iterative process ensures that protocols are thoroughly vetted for interoperability, efficiency, and security before they are officially adopted, fostering a robust and widely accepted set of standards that underpin the global Internet infrastructure.
