If you look at rfcs citing other rfcs, these all use rfc-editor.org. It couldn’t be more official. Sent from mobile, sorry for terseOn 26. Mar 2024, at 14:09, Jxck ***@***.***> wrote:

Some RFC has multiple URL.
IIUC, tools.ietf.org is deprecated and redirect to datatracker.
datatracker has some metadata for RFC and rfc-editor looks focusing on reading content itself.
But I don't know what is the purpose to have multiple site and how they utilize.
Q: if I put link into some official document (like Paper, Article, Manual, Book etc).
Which is the best URL to link RFC ?
