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 ...

November 1998: IKE: RFC 2408 : Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP) RFC 2409 : The Internet Key Exchange (IKE) RFC 2427 : Multiprotocol Interconnect over Frame Relay: September 1998: Frame Relay: 1294, 1490: RFC 2453 : RIP Version 2: November 1998 ...
[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).
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 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.
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]
For example, in 2007 RFC 3700 was an Internet Standard (STD 1) and in May 2008 it was replaced with RFC 5000. RFC 3700 received Historic status, and RFC 5000 became STD 1. The list of Internet standards was originally published as STD 1 but this practice has been abandoned in favor of an online list maintained by the RFC Editor. [18]
Between 1982 and 1984 Postel co-authored the RFCs which became the foundation of today's DNS (RFC 819, RFC 881, RFC 882 and RFC 920) which were joined in 1995 by RFC 1591 which he also co-wrote. In total, he wrote or co-authored more than 20 RFCs. [12] Postel served on the Internet Architecture Board and its predecessors for many years.
