  RFC 2721 (rfc2721) - RTFM: Applicability Statement
The RTFM Meter is designed so as to do as much data reduction work as possible, which minimizes the amount of data to be read and the amount of processing needed to produce useful reports from it.
RTFM flow data can be used for a wide range of purposes, such as usage accounting, long-term recording of network usage (classified by IP address attributes) and real-time analysis of traffic flows at remote metering points.
RTFM Meters may be single- or multi-user hosts running a meter program (one such program is available as free software, a second is under development at IBM Research).

 RTFM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
RTFM is an initialism for the statement "Read The Fucking Manual." This instruction is sometimes given in response to a question when the person being asked believes that the question could be easily answered by reading relevant "manual" or instructions.
An Internet forum where users read the FAQ before posting their questions is more likely to have a better signal to noise ratio than one that is filled with repetitive postings, and hence is more likely to attract continued participation.
Some of these versions are less pejorative than RTFM and used in a humorous sense, as it is assumed that it was the developer's fault for not providing documentation.

 RFC 2724 (rfc2724) - RTFM: New Attributes for Traffic Flow Measurement
Implementations of the RTFM Meter have been done by Nevil Brownlee in the University of Auckland, NZ, and Stephen Stibler and Sig Handelman at IBM in Hawthorne, NY, USA.
The RTFM WG has also defined the role of the Meter Reader whose role is to retrieve flow data from the Meter.
RTFM will calculate these attributes in the form of extensions to the RTFM flow attributes according to three general classes: - 'Trace', attributes of individual packets in a flow or a segment of a flow (e.g.

RTFM is Interwebs-speak for "Repeat the first message".
If someone tells you to RTFM, be patient with them, and copy-and-paste your original message several times.
Also, typing the message with capslock on will improve the chances that it will get through (similar to yelling at a brick wall, telephone, or foreigner).
