NWG/RFC# 580 JBP 25-OCT-73 06:00 19849
note to protocol designers and implementers
Hereafter proposed protocols shall be submitted in the form of
- on-line documents, preferably as nls files at the Network
-
- Information Center. This will greatly facilitate the review
-
- process and enable editorial and substantive changes to proceed
-
- quickly. This also will permit timely updating of protocol
-
- documents as may be neccessitated by future decisions. On-line
-
- documents are also easily distributed to the network community.
-
- If you find great difficulty in complying with this request
-
- please contact me.
-
- It should be noted by all Telnet protocol readers and especially
-
- implementers that all the existing Telnet Options that involve
-
- subnegotiation are modified [see RFC 562] to terminate the
-
- subnegotiation strings with IAC SE. The value of SE is 240. Also
-
- note that within subnegotiations the occurance of a byte with the
-
- value 255 [IAC] requires doubling that byte on transmission.
-
- Please note that my address has changed to:
