[ih] Re: IEN 209 missing from IEN index

[Chris Edmondson-Yurkanan]

Bob, to expand on the situation of IEN 209 (for others):

1) Most IEN indexes describe it as follows: 

   The note originally scheduled to be IEN 209 has been issued as an RFC 
   instead.
   Please refer to RFC 904.
      Title:      Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) Formal Specification
      Author:     Dave Mills
      Pathname:   RFC:RFC904.TXT
   Public access files may be copied from the RFC: directory at SRI-NIC.ARPA
   via FTP with username ANONYMOUS and password GUEST.

2) Yet, RFC 904's author is Dave Mills, not Eric Rosen, and has a date of 1984

3) RFC 904 references 2 preceding RFCs, including

	RFC 827
	EXTERIOR GATEWAY PROTOCOL (EGP) 
	Eric C. Rosen Bolt Beranek and Newman Inc.  October 1982

4) Thus, I wonder if actually RFC 827 was supposed to be IEN 209,
   and that the IEN 209 description should be changed to reference
   RFC 827 not RFC 904. ????

Thanks, Chris
