STDs are stable identifiers for "Internet Standards." An STD may consist of a single RFC or a group of RFCs related to a specific protocol. The collection may become empty as the STD evolves.
RFC 1055: STD 47: Nonstandard for transmission of IP datagrams over serial lines: SLIP
Internet Standard
- J.L. Romkey
- June 1988
- Legacy publication
Abstract
The TCP/IP protocol family runs over a variety of network media: IEEE 802.3 (ethernet) and 802.5 (token ring) LAN's, X.25 lines, satellite links, and serial lines. There are standard encapsulations for IP packets defined for many of these networks, but there is no standard for serial lines. SLIP, Serial Line IP, is a currently a de facto standard, commonly used for point-to-point serial connections running TCP/IP. It is not an Internet standard.
