my RFC index

Every time I look up an RFC, I want to find out more about it (which are the useful RFC’s that update this one? What other RFC’s are there on this topic?) So I wrote my own RFC index program. For a given RFC number, it provides links to:

  • the HTML version of an RFC (it’s easier on the eyes)
  • RFC’s published at about the same time
  • RFC’s by the same author
  • all the RFC’s that update this one
  • RFC’s updated by this RFC
  • RFC’s that obsolete this RFC
  • RFC’s that this RFC obsoletes
  • RFC’s that reference this RFC
  • RFC’s that this RFC references

I hope you find this vaguely useful.

    This service rocks. It’s a wonder something like this doesn’t already exist…

    The URL for this is now broken. Set us up the new URL Perry! :)
