Usage

You can copy and paste the following empty skeleton template into the article and fill it in as you see fit, in case you wish to use source editor instead of VisualEditor. |logo caption= is deliberately omitted to discourage the use of this oft-abused parameter.

{{Infobox networking protocol
| title        = 
| logo         = 
| logo alt     = 
| image        = 
| image alt    = 
| caption      = 
| is stack     = 
| abbreviation =
| purpose      = 
| developer    = 
| date         = {{Start date and age|    |  |  }}<!--Fill in: Year (4 digits), month and day (2 digits)-->
| based on     = 
| influenced   = 
| osilayer     = 
| ports        = 
| rfcs         = 
| hardware     =
