Happy 35th birthday, RFC 1!

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the now-thats-an-anniversary dept.

An anonymous reader writes "On April 7th, 1969, the first ever RFC was published, describing the networking technology behind the then-nascent ARPAnet. In the intervening 35 years, networking technology has come a long way, but it brings perspective to the modern Internet to reflect on how it all began."
