It is also important to understand that the RFC's are just that. RFC's.
They are not necessarily the standard. Way back in the olden days, when I
was learning about routing and subnetting, I placed too much faith in the
older RFC's I read, assumeing that they were the "law". They have since
been either superceded, or don't apply anymore.
Id say that it is a good STARTING place but just becuase you read
something in an RFC, does not make it come to pass.
