You can obtain RFCs, search RFCs, and read more about the RFC process at http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/.
RFC stands for "Request for Comment". The RFCs form an integral part of the Internet standards; standards are formed by first publishing a specification as an RFC.
If you wish to implement a standard protocol in Java, the first thing to do is download and read the applicable RFC.
