40 Years of RFCs

April 15th, 2009

I just read Request For Comments (RFC) 5540 today. 40 years ago this month on April 7th, 1969, RFC 1 regarding “Host Software” authored by Steve Crocker at UCLA was published. Happy belated birthday, RFCs!  Here’s to 40 more.

For kicks I’ve included some fun RFCs on the books to celebrate the occasion.

RFC 968 - ‘Twas the Night Before Start-up

RFC 1149 - Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers

RFC 2324 - Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol (HTCPC/1.0)

RFC 2549 - IP over Avian Carriers with Quality of Service

RFC 3251 - Electricity over IP
