Hi, Anybody knows the history behind RFC numbers. How it started
and which document explained this. Sometimes I see it is not a
sequential numbers for new RFCs. Thanks Best, Hosnieh



Topics like this one are better sent to the rfc-interest list
(https://www.rfc-editor.org/mailman/listinfo/rfc-interest).  That
said, and to answer the later comments on this thread, creating a
unique cataloguing system for RFCs would, in my mind, provide very
little value versus how much work creating and maintaining such a
system would entail.  Meaningless numbers and a decent search engine
are a much saner approach for this kind of document series.
