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).
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).
He ran MMDF as a telephone-based ARPANET gateway service for CSNET, which was a forerunner for NSFNET. Crocker was the author of RFC 822 , which was published in 1982 to define the format of Internet mail messages, [ 7 ] and he was the first listed author of the earlier RFC 733 on which it was based in 1977.

The California Job Case was a compartmentalized box for printing in the 19th century, sizes corresponding to the commonality of letters. The frequency of letters in text has been studied for use in cryptanalysis, and frequency analysis in particular, dating back to the Arab mathematician al-Kindi (c. AD 801–873 ), who formally developed the method (the ciphers breakable by this technique go ...
Yogen K. Dalal, [137] also known as Yogin Dalal, [138] is an Indian electrical engineer and computer scientist. [137] He was an ARPANET pioneer, [134] and a key contributor to the development of internetworking protocols. [139] Dalal co-authored the first Transmission Control Program specification, with Vint Cerf and Carl Sunshine between 1973 ...
The Holberton School, a project-based school for software engineers based in San Francisco, was founded in her honor in 2015. [17] In 2010, a documentary called, Top Secret Rosies: The Female "Computers" of WWII was released. The film centered around in-depth interviews of three of the six women programmers, focusing on the commendable ...
While there, he wrote the first relay system connecting the Internet with the U.K. academic X.25 network. He joined the networking research group at the Information Sciences Institute (ISI) in 1986, and was a project leader in the Computer Networks Division. He was named an ISI Fellow in 2001. [3]
