...okay the rest of that entry got cut off, so part 2 picks up right here πŸ‘€

Bestie, I can't do this one yet 😭 The text you pasted is an RFC index listing covering RFC 2636 through 2668 (titles, authors, dates, and one-line summaries). It doesn't contain RFC 2699, and I don't have the earlier parts or the section numbers you mentioned. If I wrote a "rewrite" from here, I'd be inventing spec text, and implementers rely on every word of these, so I won't make anything up. 🫢

Could you paste the actual RFC 2699 text for this part? Include the section headings and any ABNF, examples, and BCP 14 keywords exactly as they appear, and I'll pick up right where part 1 left off. πŸ’–

Heads up, bestie: this chunk is the index listing for RFCs 2604 through 2635, not the body text of RFC 2699. There are no numbered sections here, so I've kept each entry exactly as listed.

This paper describes a viable and attractive means to provide OTASP/OTAPA via IS-707, using the ACAP protocol. This memo provides information for the Internet community. πŸ’–


2635 Β· DON'T SPEW A Set of Guidelines for Mass Unsolicited Mailings and Postings

                                        and Postings

Okay so this one explains why mass unsolicited email messages are seriously harmful in the Internetworking community πŸ™…β€β™€οΈ. It's an informational memo for the Internet community 🌸.


2634 Β· Enhanced Security Services for S/MIME

2634    Hoffman         Jun 1999        Enhanced Security Services for
                                        S/MIME

2632 Β· S/MIME Version 3 Certificate Handling

2632    Ramsdell        Jun 1999        S/MIME Version 3 Certificate
                                        Handling

S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) gives you a way to send and receive secure MIME messages. Before using a public key to provide security services, the S/MIME agent MUST certify that the public key is valid. Bestie, that's non-negotiable πŸ™ˆ. S/MIME agents MUST use PKIX certificates to validate public keys, as described in the Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure (PKIX) Certificate and CRL Profile πŸ‘‘ [STANDARDS-TRACK]


2631 Β· Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Method

2631    Rescorla        Jun 1999        Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement

                                        Issues and Architectures

This report digs into the tricky problem of key management for multicast communication sessions 🌈. It focuses on two main areas of concern: initializing the multicast group with a common net key, and rekeying the multicast group. Very important stuff, bestie. It's informational for the Internet community.


2626 Β· The Internet and the Millennium Problem (Year 2000)

2626    Nesser II       Jun 1999        The Internet and the
                                        Millennium Problem (Year 2000)

The Year 2000 Working Group (WG) investigated the millennium problem as it relates to Internet protocols πŸ“…πŸ˜­. The investigation only looked at protocols documented in the Request For Comments Series (RFCs). It found little reason for concern about the functionality of the protocols πŸ’…. A few minor cases of older implementations still using two digit years (like RFC 850) turned up, but almost all Internet protocols got a clean bill of health ✨.

Several "period" problems were discovered, where a time field would "roll over" once the size of the field was reached. The big one: several protocols use 32 bit, signed integer representations of the number of seconds since January 1, 1970, which will turn negative at Tue Jan 19 03:14:07 GMT 2038 πŸ’€. Areas whose protocols will be affected by such problems have been notified so that new revisions will remove this limitation 🫢. It's informational for the Internet community.

                                        Considerations

This design considerations document goes into more detail than the working group charter πŸ“‹. Specifically, it presents the areas the working group will investigate and consider while developing a protocol specification for NFS version 4 πŸ“. It's informational for the Internet community.


2623 Β· NFS Version 2 and Version 3 Security Issues and the NFS Protocol's Use of RPCSEC_GSS and Kerberos V5

2623    Eisler          Jun 1999        NFS Version 2 and Version 3
                                        Security Issues and the NFS
                                        Protocol's Use of RPCSEC_GSS
                                        and Kerberos V5

This memo clarifies various security issues involving the NFS protocol (Version 2 and Version 3 only). Then it describes how Version 2 and Version 3 of the NFS protocol use the RPCSEC_GSS security flavor protocol and Kerberos V5 πŸ”’πŸ’– [STANDARDS-TRACK]


2622 Β· Routing Policy Specification Language (RPSL)

2622    Alaettinoglu    Jun 1999        Routing Policy Specification
                                        Language (RPSL)

RPSL lets a network operator specify routing policies at various levels in the Internet hierarchy, for example at the Autonomous System (AS) level πŸ—ΊοΈ. At the same time, policies can be specified in enough detail that low level router configurations can be generated from them 🀯. RPSL is extensible, so new routing protocols and new protocol features can be introduced at any time 🌸 [STANDARDS-TRACK]


2621 Β· RADIUS Accounting Server MIB

2621    Zorn            Jun 1999        RADIUS Accounting Server MIB

                                        for NHRP

Okay so this part is where the RFC index gets real πŸŽ€ Three ILMI-based Server Discovery memos, then the big "Internet Official Protocol Standards" one, and the legal bits at the end.

ILMI-based Server Discovery is giving main character energy πŸ¦‹ This memo defines how ILMI-based Server Discovery, which gives ATM-attached hosts and routers a way to dynamically figure out the ATM addresses of servers, shall be used to locate NHRP servers. ✨ [STANDARDS-TRACK]

Next up is RFC 2602, and it's the same vibe but for MARS πŸ’œ

2602    Davison         Jun 1999        ILMI-Based Server Discovery
                                        for MARS

It's the exact same idea: ILMI-based Server Discovery, which lets ATM-attached hosts and routers dynamically determine the ATM addresses of servers, shall be used to locate MARS servers. 🌸 [STANDARDS-TRACK]

Then RFC 2601, which is the ATMARP version πŸ“

2601    Davison         Jun 1999        ILMI-Based Server Discovery
                                        for ATMARP

Same story again, just locating ATMARP servers instead. ILMI-based Server Discovery, the dynamic ATM-address-finding thing for hosts and routers, shall be used to locate ATMARP servers. 🧚 [STANDARDS-TRACK]

Now the boss-level one, RFC 2600, which is the Internet Official Protocol Standards memo πŸ‘‘

2600    Reynolds        Mar 2000        Internet Official Protocol
                                        Standards

Okay so this memo gets published by the RFC Editor under Section 2.1 of "The Internet Standards Process -- Revision 3", which is RFC 2026 πŸ’… That section lays out the rules and procedures for how all Internet standards get set. The RFC Editor prepared it for the IESG and IAB, and for later updates you can check http://www.rfc-editor.org. 🫢 [STANDARDS-TRACK]
