1.4. Transport
As in this standard's predecessors, the exact means used to transmit
articles from one host to another is not specified. NNTP [NNTP] is
the most common transmission method on the Internet, but much
transmission takes place entirely independent of the Internet. Other

archives, and physically delivered magnetic and optical media.
