RFC 497

Traffic Statistics (March 1973) 🦋

Okay bestie, this one is by A. McKenzie from BBN-NET (NIC 15651), dated 10 April 1973. It's RFC 497, and it updates RFC #482 💅. The header doesn't list a category or status, and it doesn't list anything it obsoletes, so that's all the paperwork there is ✨.

The whole point is the Host traffic stats for the month of March 1973. Yes, it's a numbers dump, but I'm obsessed with it anyway 🤓📊.

Host Throughput Summary (Packets Output) 💜

Here's the main event, the HOST THROUGHPUT SUMMARY for March 1973, counted in packets output 🌈:

Quiet Hosts and Missing Days 🌸

Heads up, a few things are a little different in this batch 👀. The stats say MISSING DATA FOR 16, 20, so those are the gaps. Two spots had zero action: BELV and LBL both had no traffic at all 🙈.

Machine-Readable Note 🧚

The original doc has a little note at the bottom about how it got into the online RFC archives, so I'm keeping it exactly as written:

       [ This RFC was put into machine readable form for entry ]
        [ into the online RFC archives by Owain Vaughan 11/97 ]

Periodt, that's the whole thing 💅✨
