Rough Consensus Term is an IETF Internet Standards term for rough consensus term work that connects internet folklore to the standards process that real implementers, ISPs, browsers, cloud providers, and enterprises use to keep networks interoperable. It helps people and agents name the signal, source, and safe next step without pretending an automation, campaign, DNS record, RFC, or network path did more than the evidence shows. Source context: IETF DNS technology; IETF Areas; RFC 1918 private address space.

“The team used Rough Consensus Term after the draft needed rough consensus, not a magic wand, and the operator could explain the result to an eighth grader and a tired principal architect.”
