RFC 18

IMP-IMP and HOST-HOST Control Links

RFC 18 🎀

okay bestie, this one is tiny but iconic 💅 here's the header tea:

  • Series: Network Working Group 🌸
  • Author: Vint Cerf, from the University of California Los Angeles ✨
  • Date: September 1969 🦋
  • Category: left blank in the original, so no category is listed 🙈
  • Obsoletes / Updates: the header doesn't list anything here 💜

The Main Event 🔥

So the big suggestion is that link 1 gets used for the HOST-HOST control link, and link 0 gets used for IMP-IMP control. 🫶

Why? Bc it helps Hosts communicate with each other more easily, and it cuts down on delays caused by interference with IMP-IMP communications. literally main character energy for the links 👑✨
