Although written by Steve Crocker, the RFC had emerged from an early working group discussion between Steve Crocker, Steve Carr, and Jeff Rulifson. In RFC 3, which first defined the RFC series, Crocker started attributing the RFC series to the Network Working Group. Rather than being a formal committee, it was a loose association of researchers ...
[nb 1] He was instrumental in forming a Network Working Group (NWG) in 1969 and was the instigator of the Request for Comment (RFC) series, [6] authoring the first RFC [7] and many more. [8] Crocker led other graduate students, including Jon Postel and Vint Cerf, in designing a host-host protocol known as the Network Control Program (NCP).
RFC 822, written by David H. Crocker, defined the format for messages. The Internet Society 's Postel Award is named in his honor, as is the Postel Center at the Information Sciences Institute. His obituary was written by Vint Cerf and published as RFC 2468 in remembrance of Postel and his work.
Your own opinions should be posted in a separate comment, not in the question itself. (The question is the part of the page shown on one of the RFC listing pages, such as Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Biographies.) Any publicizing of the RfC should also be neutral. One option is to say only that input is requested, with a link to the RfC.
In 1971 the first message was sent between two computers on the ARPANET. [28] Through RFC 561, RFC 680, RFC 724, and finally 1977's RFC 733, this became a standardized working system based on the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). PLATO IV was networked to individual terminals over leased data lines prior to the implementation of personal notes in 1974.
If you are starting another RfC on a page which already has one or more ongoing RfCs, first ensure that all of the existing {} tags already contain a |rfcid= parameter. The process looks like this: Add your question with one {} tag. Wait for the bot to edit the page and add an id number to the first RfC question.
He wrote a file transfer program called CPYNET to transfer files through the ARPANET. [19] Tomlinson was asked to change a program called SNDMSG, which sent messages to other users of a time-sharing computer, to run on TENEX. [20] He added code he took from CPYNET to SNDMSG so messages could be sent to users on other computers—the first email ...
