RFC 317

RFC 317: Official Host-Host Protocol Modification: Assigned Link Numbers 🎀

okay bestie, let's get into this one 💅 RFC 317 is from Jon Postel at UCLA-NMC, NIC number 9347, dated March 20, 1972. The header doesn't list a category or status, and it doesn't say it obsoletes or updates anything. Basically it's a correction to the link table on page 28 of NIC 8246 🫶

I. Message Switching Protocol Links 🦋

Links 192, 193, 194 and 195 (decimal) are assigned for use by the Message Switching Protocol (MSP) experiment ✨

II. Network Measurement Links 📊

Links 159 through 190 (decimal) are assigned for network measurement purposes 💜 they're only for use under the direction of the Network Measurement Center (NMC). For more info, contact Vint Cerf at (213) 825-2368 📞

III. Corrected Link Assignment Table 🧚

On page 28 of NIC 8246, the link assignment table should read like this 🌸

LINK NUMBER            ASSIGNMENT

0                      Control Link

2-71                   Available for Connection

1, 72-158              Reserved--not for current use

159-191                To be used only for measurement work
                       under the direction of the Network
                       Measurement Center at UCLA

192-195                To be used for the Message Switching
                       Protocol experiment

196-255                Available for private experimental use

That's the whole thing, bestie 🥹 iconic energy.
