Best Common Practice (BCP) RFCs

Besides the standards-track and off-track documents, the IETF also publishes some other documents from time to time that are known as Best Common Practice (BCP) documents. These documents are most likely to be informational in nature, offering advice to the reader about how to do something, rather than prescribing a set methodology for doing it. Although these documents are also published as RFCs, they are most often referred to as BCPs. An example of this is RFC 2026—also published as BCP 9—which describes the Internet standardization process that much of this appendix refers to.
