RFC 616

LATEST NETWORK MAPS 🗺️✨

Okay bestie, this is RFC 616 💖 It's from the Network Working Group, written by D. Walden of BBN-NET (NIC # 21532), and it's dated 11 February 1974. The original doesn't state a category or status, and it doesn't list anything it obsoletes or updates, so I'm not adding any 🙈

The whole RFC is basically a map drop 🧚 The original had two one-page illustrations that can't be made with ASCII characters, so here's the note that comes with them:

[The original RFC 616 consisted of two one-page illustrations, which
cannot be reproduced using ASCII characters.  They are labeled:

    "ARPA Network, Geographic Map, January 1974" and

    "ARPA Network, Logical Map, January 1974"

    Please see the PDF file.]

So the maps are the ARPA Network Geographic Map and the ARPA Network Logical Map, both from January 1974 🌸 Go check the PDF if you want to see them, because the text alone can't show you 😭

This RFC was also put into machine-readable form for the online RFC archives:

[ This RFC was put into machine readable form for entry ]
[ into the online RFC archives by Alex McKenzie with    ]
[ support from GTE, formerly BBN Corp.            11/99 ]

Alex McKenzie did the archive work with support from GTE, formerly BBN Corp., in 11/99. That's iconic of them 👑🫶
