If the URL does not work

If an URL in a link to a document of type draft does not work, try to modify the URL draft number. For example, if "draft-ietf-xxx-03.txt" does not work, try with "draft-ietf-xxx-04.txt" and "draft-ietf-xxx-05.txt". If no such version with a higher number can be found, the document may have become an RFC instead of a draft, look in the RFC directories (http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Internet-documents/rfc/) for it. A list of all RFC-s can be found in http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Internet-documents/rfc/rfc-index.txt.

Where to find Internet specification documents

A good place to look for Internet specification documents is the Internet Spec List at URL:http://www.graphcomp.com/info/specs/ or the IETF home page at URL:http://www.ietf.cnri.reston.va.us/
