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 ...
He also created the Request for Comments (RFC) series, [92] authoring the very first RFC and many more. [93] He was instrumental in creating the ARPA Network Working Group, the forerunner of the modern Internet Engineering Task Force. In 1972, Crocker moved to the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) to become a program manager.
He was introduced to the ARPANET work by his brother, Steve Crocker, another pioneer of the Internet, who created the ARPA Network Working Group and the Request for Comments (RFC) series of formally published documents in 1969. Crocker earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology at UCLA in 1975. [2]
This is a partial list of RFCs (request for comments memoranda). A Request for Comments (RFC) is a publication in a series from the principal technical development and standards-setting bodies for the Internet, most prominently the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
The term "internet" was reflected in the first RFC published on the TCP protocol (RFC 675: [117] Internet Transmission Control Program, December 1974) as a short form of internetworking, when the two terms were used interchangeably. In general, an internet was a collection of networks linked by a common protocol.
He wrote the first TCP with Yogen Dalal and Carl Sunshine, called Specification of Internet Transmission Control Program (RFC 675), published in December 1974. [ 25 ] Cerf worked as assistant professor at Stanford University from 1972 to 1976 where he conducted research on packet network interconnection protocols and co-designed the DoD TCP/IP ...
[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).
Since 1992, a new document was written to specify the evolution of the basic protocol towards its next full version. It supported both the simple request method of the 0.9 version and the full GET request that included the client HTTP version. This was the first of the many unofficial HTTP/1.0 drafts that preceded the final work on HTTP/1.0. [3]
