Requirements for Internet Hosts - Communication Layers
Open accessAbstract
Status of This MemoThis RFC is an official specification for the Internet community.It incorporates by reference, amends, corrects, and supplements the primary protocol standards documents relating to hosts.Distribution of this document is unlimited. SummaryThis is one RFC of a pair that defines and discusses the requirements for Internet host software.This RFC covers the communications protocol layers: link layer, IP layer, and transport layer; its companion RFC-1123 covers the application and support protocols. RFC1122Other transport protocols have been developed by the research community, and the set of official Internet transport protocols may be expanded in the future.Transport layer protocols are discussed in Chapter 4.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
