[ih] NIC documents (was Re: The history of "This" 0.0.0.0/8 network?)

[Scott O. Bradner]

for what its worth - there are over 200 RFCs that list NIC numbers in the upper left corner - e.g. RFC 600

Network Working Group                                       A. Berggreen
Request for Comments: 600              COMPUTER SYSTEMS LABORATORY--UCSB
NIC: 20884                                                 November 1973


Steve Crocker is listed as the contact on at least NIC 8246 Host/Host Protocol for the ARPA Network (not also an RFC) 
so maybe he recalls the details
