RFC 25

No High Link Numbers

📅 published October 1969, from ietf

okay bestie, this is RFC 25 🎀, a memo from the Network Working Group. Steve Crocker at UCLA wrote it, and it's dated 30 October 1969 🦋

okay so, there might be a reason to save one or more link numbers for instrumentation purposes 🧚, and 256 link numbers is way more than anyone actually needs 💅. so we suggest that no link number over 63 be used. at UCLA, we're building our tables to take advantage of this limit 🔥. we also note that 32 might be even more realistic 🌸, but 64 is certainly sufficient ✨ periodt 💖
