Content guidelines overview | Internet-Draft Author Resources
The section covers the naming and content of Internet-Drafts (I-Ds) including the required and recommended sections. There are lots of rules governing the content, developed over many years in order, which aim to ensure the readability and consistency of I-Ds. Please follow this section closely. The pages in this section are:
- Naming your Internet-Draft I-Ds have strict naming rules
- Required content Your I-D will not validate without this required content
- Recommended content These sections are recommended for most I-Ds
- Language and style Important for your I-D to be read and understood
- Diagrams Diagrams help simplify otherwise complex interactions and concepts
- Formal languages For example, ABNF or YANG
- Protocol checklist Specific details for protocol defintions and references
- Example addresses How to add example addresses both Internet and pre-Internet
This section is the direct replacement for the previous "I-D Guidelines" and incorporates most of the content found there.
