RFC 170
RFC List by Number
RFC 170: RFC List by Number 📚✨
okay bestie, RFC 170 is literally an index 🧚 It's a list of the RFCs (the Request for Comments documents that define the Internet's protocols), so it's the page you check to find what's out there 💖
Here's the title block, tea spilled: it's dated 1 June 1971, it's RFC 170, and the header carries the NIC number 6790 🎀 The page doesn't name an author, a category or status, or say what it obsoletes or updates, so there's no drama to report on any of that 🙈
The table has one row per entry. Each row gives the first author, the title, the date, the NIC number, and the RFC number. A few numbers are straight-up marked as never issued 💀 (14, 26, and 92). Those are the "ghost" slots, and iykyk 👻
This is part 1, so the table covers RFCs 1 through 50 here. Part 2 picks up at RFC 51 🫶
The Entries, Part One 💅

RFC LIST BY Number 1 June 1971 6790 170Okay bestie, that's the whole list 📋✨ Everything from RFC 112 up to RFC 170 is in there, and it's giving a real snapshot of the NWG days 🦋
Heads up, the line about "Items below this point do not appear in other 1 June 1971 listings" is a major plot point 🙈 Everything from RFC 166 down is only in this listing, not the others.
Also, this text was put into machine-readable form for the online RFC archives by Jeff McClellan in July 1997 (7/97). He did the whole archive glow-up 💖
