Request for Comments - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | RFC 1, entitled "Host Software", was written by Steve Crocker of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and published on April 7, 1969. |
 | | Every RFC is available as ASCII text, but may also be available in other file formats; however, as of 2006 the definitive version of any standards-track specification is the ASCII version. |
 | | In some cases those RFCs wouldn't be published at all, the early RFCs were often what the name says, simple "Requests for Comments" not intended to specify a protocol, administrative procedure, or anything else the RFC series is used for today. |
