RFC 634: Change in Network Address for Haskins Lab 🎀

okay bestie, let's get into this one 💅 it's a short little RFC from April 1974 and it's written by Alex McKenzie of BBN-NET 🦋 it's an RFC (the official Internet protocol docs), so this is literally the source of truth. The title block says it's RFC # 634 with NIC # 30445, dated April 10, 1974 ✨ it doesn't obsolete or update anything, and there's no category or status listed in the header, so we just have the number, author, and date to work with 🌸

The vibe is "heads up, this is moving" 🧚

1. Change of Network Address 💜

Sometime between May 8 and May 22, probably toward the end of that period, the Haskins Laboratory "Very Distant Host" connection will be moved from BBN (IMP #5) to Harvard (IMP #9) 🍓 The Host Number of the Haskins machine will remain Host 3 (numbering from zero to three) 🫶 So the Network Address of the Haskins Laboratory Host changes from 197 to 201 🔥

ngl the date is kinda up in the air because it depends on the local telephone company installing new circuits, so the author can't give the exact day 😭
