Bing says macOS implements a "wide range" of specifications are 
"typically" supported?   Does that mean they are or aren't implemented 
in the code?  Who says so - the programmer, the Marketing literature, or 
an independent trusted third party?   What document did they use as 
specifications for all those protocols and mechanisms?  What does 
"support" mean?  There are also hordes of ancillary RFCs defining 
methods for things like queue management, flow control, retransmission, 
etc.   Which, if any, of them are implemented?   Did anybody test the 
code to see if it correctly follows the specs?   Who?

Sorry, such documentation tells me very little.
