It is a fact that I learned much of what I initially knew about internetworking by reading the protocols outlined in many of the offical RFC documents. You couldn't pick one of these up without seeing the name Postel at the top. I never met him but give due deference and respect to his work and what it ultimately produced.

At NANOG two weeks ago, we had an interesting discussion at one of the lunch tables. One of the subjects we discussed was the original IANA, and RFC Editor, Jon Postel. Seven of the ten people at the table had never heard of him. Maybe these days it no longer matters who he was, and what he meant to where we are today. <Sigh> For those who care about the history of the Internet, and routing and addressing. And protocols??? https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2468 Oct 16, 1998.
