TELNET operates using the TCP Protocol, and depends heavily on option negotiation. TELNET options are documented in their own (usually short) RFCs. The organization of these RFCs, and instructions for registering new TELNET options, is found in RFC 855. Many TELNET options exist; a complete, current list can be found in the Internet Official Standards RFC, currently RFC 2400. A copy of this list appears below.
