RFC 443

Traffic Statistics (December 1972) ✨

okay bestie, this is RFC 443, and it's giving monthly stats drop 📊🫶

• RFC number: 443
• Author: A. McKenzie at BBN 🧚
• NIC number: 13899
• Date: 18 January 1973 🎀
• Updates: RFC 422 💅

The original doesn't list a category or status, so I'm not making one up 🙈

Here's the whole vibe: A. McKenzie attached the Host traffic statistics for December 1972 (no cap, that's the entire premise 😭). The original also includes the initials AAM/jm at the end of the intro line 💖

Host Throughput Summary 🦋

Okay, the table is the main event, so I'm keeping every number exactly as it appeared ✨ The bottom section has the grand totals, the daily averages, and the packets/messages (internode) ratio of 1.06 💜

🙈 the table is copied exactly, every single number, because a stats table with one wrong digit is a whole mess bestie

🌈 That's the full RFC! Honestly the main character of this doc is that somebody was out here tracking traffic across every Host in December 1972 and it's iconic 💜
