RFC 1499: Request for Comments Summary ๐ŸŽ€

Okay bestie, let's start with the basics ๐Ÿ’–. This is RFC 1499, titled Request for Comments Summary, and it covers RFC Numbers 1400-1499. It was written by J. Elliott from ISI, it's an Informational doc, and it's dated January 1997 ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ. The header doesn't list anything it obsoletes or updates, so no drama there โœจ.

Status of This Memo ๐Ÿ’…

This one is a slightly annotated list of the 100 RFCs from RFC 1400 through RFCs 1499, so it's basically a status report on them ๐Ÿ“‹. It gives info to the Internet community, but it does not specify an Internet standard of any kind, so no cap, it's not a rulebook ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ. Distribution of this memo is unlimited ๐ŸŒˆ.

Note ๐Ÿซถ

Many RFCs, but not all, are Proposed Standards, Draft Standards, or Standards. The status of these can change during standards processing, so the note just says they're on the standards track ๐Ÿ›ค๏ธ. For the current state and status, check the latest edition of "Internet Official Protocol Standards" ๐Ÿ“š. In the list below, standards-track RFCs are marked [STANDARDS-TRACK] ๐Ÿท๏ธ.

RFC 1499: Requests For Comments Summary ๐Ÿชž

This memo. Yep, it's the one you're reading right now ๐Ÿซฃ.

RFC 1498: On the Naming and Binding of Network Destinations ๐Ÿงญ

This brief paper is a perspective on names for destinations in data communication networks ๐ŸŒ. It has two big ideas. First, it's helpful to tell apart four different kinds of objects that can be named as the destination of a packet in a network. Second, the operating system concept of binding is a useful way to describe how those four kinds of objects relate to each other ๐Ÿ”—. It provides information for the Internet community and does not specify an Internet standard ๐Ÿ™Œ.

RFC 1497: BOOTP Vendor Information Extensions ๐Ÿงธ

This is a slight revision and extension of RFC-1048 by Philip Prindeville, who should be credited with the original work in this memo ๐Ÿ‘‘. This memo is a status report on the vendor information extensions used in the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) ๐Ÿฅพ.

RFC 1496: Rules for Downgrading Messages from X.400/88 to X.400/84 When MIME Content-Types are Present in the Messages ๐Ÿ“จ

This one is giving very specific energy ๐Ÿ˜ญ. It describes how RFC-1328 must be modified to support these scenarios:

                    SMTP(MIME) -> X.400(84)
                    X.400(84) -> SMTP(MIME)

It replaces chapter 6 of RFC-1328. The rest of RFC-1328 is NOT obsoleted ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ. [STANDARDS-TRACK] ๐Ÿท๏ธ

RFC 1495: Mapping between X.400 and RFC-822 Message Bodies ๐Ÿ”

Ever since X.400(84) showed up, people have been working on mappings between MHS and RFC-822 ๐Ÿ’Œ. The latest is RFC-1327 [3], which mainly focuses on translating the envelope and headers. This document complements RFC-1327 because it focuses on translating the message body ๐Ÿซถ. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

RFC 1494: Equivalences between 1988 X.400 and RFC-822 Message Bodies ๐Ÿ“‹

This document describes the content of the "IANA MHS/MIME Equivalence table" and defines the initial configuration of that table ๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ. Mappings for new MIME content-types and/or X.400 body part types should be registered with the IANA, so there's less redundancy and better interoperability ๐Ÿค. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

RFC 1493: Definitions of Managed Objects for Bridges ๐ŸŒ‰

This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP based internets ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ.

RFC 1492: An Access Control Protocol, Sometimes Called TACACS ๐Ÿ”

This RFC documents the extended TACACS protocol as used by Cisco Systems terminal servers ๐Ÿ–ฒ๏ธ. The same protocol is also used by the University of Minnesota's distributed authentication system ๐Ÿซ. This memo provides information for the Internet community and does not specify an Internet standard ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ.

RFC 1491: A Survey of Advanced Usages of X.500 ๐Ÿ”

This document came from a survey asking people to detail their advanced usages of X.500 ๐Ÿ“Š. It shows how various organizations are using X.500 in ways that go beyond the view of X.500 as a "White Pages" service ๐Ÿ“’. This RFC is a product of the Integrated Directory Services Working Group of the Application and User Services Areas of the IETF ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ป. This memo provides information for the Internet community and does not specify an Internet standard ๐Ÿ™Œ.

RFC 1490: Multiprotocol Interconnect over Frame Relay ๐ŸŽž๏ธ

This memo describes an encapsulation method for carrying network interconnect traffic over a Frame Relay backbone ๐Ÿšš. It covers both Bridging and Routing aspects ๐ŸŒ‰. It also describes a simple fragmentation procedure for carrying large frames over a frame relay network with a smaller MTU ๐Ÿ“ฆ. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

RFC 1489: Registration of a Cyrillic Character Set ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ

Okay, so the proposed character set "koi8-r" isn't currently an international standard, but a very large user community supports it, including Relcom Net ๐Ÿซ‚. Factually, "koi8-r" is the de-facto standard for Unix and global network applications in the former Soviet Union ๐Ÿ’ป. That's why the Society of Unix User Groups (SUUG) believes "koi8-r" should be registered ๐Ÿ“. This memo provides information for the Internet community and does not specify an Internet standard ๐ŸŒธ.

RFC 1488: The X.500 String Representation of Standard Attribute Syntaxes ๐Ÿชก

This document sets out the requirements that encoding rules must satisfy when rendering Directory attribute syntaxes into a form suitable for use in LDAP ๐Ÿงต. Then it defines the encoding rules for the standard set of attribute syntaxes defined in [1,2] and [3] ๐Ÿ“. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

RFC 1487: X.500 Lightweight Directory Access Protocol ๐Ÿชถ

This protocol is designed to give access to the Directory without the resource requirements of the Directory Access Protocol (DAP) ๐Ÿ’ซ. It's the lighter option, bestie ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

RFC 1486: An Experiment in Remote Printing ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ

This memo describes a technique for "remote printing" that uses the Internet mail infrastructure ๐Ÿ“ฌ. It focuses on the case where remote printers are connected to the international telephone network โ˜Ž๏ธ. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community and does not specify an Internet standard ๐Ÿงช.

RFC 1485: A String Representation of Distinguished Names (OSI-DS 23 (v5)) ๐Ÿท๏ธ

When a distinguished name gets communicated to users who aren't using a directory protocol (like in a mail message), you need a user-oriented string representation of it ๐Ÿ’ฌ. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

RFC 1484: Using the OSI Directory to achieve User Friendly Naming (OSI-DS 24 (v1.2)) ๐Ÿ’–

This proposal sets out conventions for representing names in a friendly way, and shows how that can be used to achieve really friendly naming ๐Ÿฅฐ. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community and does not specify an Internet standard ๐Ÿงช.
