RFC 774

Internet Protocol Handbook ✨

• RFC: 774 🎀
• Title: Internet Protocol Handbook 📖
• Working group: Network Working Group 🫶
• Author: J. Postel, ISI 👑
• Date: October 1980 🗓️
• Obsoletes: RFCs 766, and IENs, 118 💀

okay so the internet family of protocols is replacing the old ARPANET protocols, and the Network Information Center is making an Internet Protocol Handbook for it 🌸 it's tentatively supposed to be out at the end of 1980. it's going to closely copy the old ARPANET Protocol Handbook and mostly be a collection of existing RFCs and IENs. iconic reuse of content, honestly 💅

the current draft table of contents is attached below. if you have ideas for additions, send them to Jon Postel at Postel@ISIF 💌

RFCs and IENs are public access document files 🦋 you can copy them from the Network Information Center online Library at SRI-KL over FTP. log in with the FTP user name ANONYMOUS and password GUEST. IENs live at pathnames like <NETINFO>IEN-nnn.TXT, and RFCs live at <NETINFO>RFCnnn.TXT, where nnn gets swapped for the document number ✨

wait, the original literally flags this itself 🙈 [Note the inconsistency: IENs have a hyphen in the pathname, RFCs don't.] the way that little detail is giving main character energy 💀
