Network News Transfer Protocol Extension for Streaming Feeds
RFC 4644, “Network News Transfer Protocol Extension for Streaming Feeds”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2006 by J. Vinocur, K. Murchison. It updates RFC 2980. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This memo defines an extension to the Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) to provide asynchronous (otherwise known as "streaming") transfer of articles. This allows servers to transfer articles to other servers with much greater efficiency.
This document updates and formalizes the CHECK and TAKETHIS commands specified in RFC 2980 and deprecates the MODE STREAM command. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
