RFC
(Request
For Comments) -- The name of the result and the process for creating
a standard on the Internet. New standards are proposed
and published on line, as a Request For Comments. The Internet

discussion, and eventually a new standard is established, but
the reference number/name for the standard retains the acronym
RFC, e.g. the official standard for e-mail is RFC 822.
Router

special-purpose computer (or software package) that handles the
connection between 2 or more networks. Routers spend all

passing through them and deciding which route to send them on.
