Standards index
Every setting in the catalogue that exists because a standard requires it cites that standard. This page collects those citations in one place, grouped by the body that publishes them, with the reference configurations that depend on each.

IETF — documentation and reservation ranges
Catalogue examples never contain live addressing. These are the reservations that make that possible, and they are worth knowing for your own documentation.

setting, nothing more.
