"Read the RFC"

This quote is a classic refrain from people who want you to find the answer to networking questions, because in theory, RFCs are the ground truth!! All protocols are required to exactly follow the specification, which means you can be very confident about how things work.

RFCs or Request for Comments, is the way that the internet develops standards. Read this to learn more: Lifewire: What is an RFC

This is short and sweet but applies to just about any technical document: StackOverflow: How to Read RFCs and Similar Docs
