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).
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. [8]
The Request for Comments (RFC) series was considered the province of the ARPANET project and the Network Working Group (NWG) which defined the network protocols used on it. Thus, the members of the Internet project decided on publishing their own series of documents, Internet Experiment Notes, which were modeled after the RFCs.
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.
Holberton used a deck of playing cards to develop the decision tree for the binary sort function, and wrote the code to employ a group of ten tape drives to read and write data as needed during the process. [10] She wrote the first statistical analysis package, which was used for the 1950 US Census.
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]
