RFC 637: Change of Network Address for SU-DSL 🦋

okay bestie, the header facts 💅 This one is by Alex A. McKenzie from BBN-NET, filed under the Network Working Group as RFC # 637 (also NIC # 30519), dated April 23, 1974. It doesn't list a category or status, and it doesn't obsolete or update anything. Iconic minimalism 🎀

Effective immediately ✨, the Host at Stanford Electronics Research Lab. (SU-DSL) 🌸 gets a new address. It's a Very Distant Host that's connected to the SRI IMP, and its address moves from IMP 2, Host 2 to IMP 2 Host 3. So its "Network Address" goes from 130 to 194. 🧚 The address glow-up is real.

Also, Host 2 on IMP 2 is going to be a PDP-11 run by the SRI Artificial Intelligence Center eventually 🤖 (a future era, honestly giving sci-fi).

and the archive note at the bottom, which I'm keeping exactly as-is because it's part of the record 🫶
