Overview
RFC 7787, “Distributed Node Consensus Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2016 by M. Stenberg, S. Barth. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract

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.
