one possible suggestion is to leverage a search engine such as
rfc-editor.org's. it allows you to search by topic and the results are
typically returned along with the obsolence hierarchy information
you might want to think about reading the original ospf (version 2: i
believe the start number is 1247) rfcs. i'm told that they are only
available in postscript because of the complexity of the drawings. i found
those drawings extremely helpful.
ironically enough, one of the richer sources of rfc pointers i've happened
upon turned out to be the microsoft tcp/ip stack whitepaper. their lip
service references mentioned specific numbers
because of some netware infrastructure support responsibilities i recently
tracked down the multicasting ones
i suspect that as our careers creep along, the security ones (ipsec & the
like) might become increasing relevant/marketable/essential
if more people read (and understood) 793, the data communications world
might be a better place to dwell within
a direct answer would be that i'm going to read all of them, but not until
after my bout with the R&S np/dp tests are successfully over (successful
for me, that is), prioritizing them by ccie relevance (igps, egps, routed,
et cetera)

Subject: RFC Reading List
Idle curiosity, friends. Which RFC's are you reading?
I've read 1771 ( BGP4 ) and I am presently going through 1812 (
requirements
for IP routers )
1812 references a number of other RFC's, of which perhaps 1112 ( ICMP ) and
1256 ( ICMP Router Discovery Messages, 1120 ( requirements for internet
hosts )
I plan on looking through 2328 ( OSPF ) and 1519 ( CIDR ) I have a few more
printed out, things like TCP and ICMP and RIP
Other posting I have read over time and from various sources suggest 1997
BGP Communities ), 2796 (BGP Route Reflection), 1965 ( BGP Communities )
and 1795 ( DLSw )
I have some others I printed out a while back. TCP, RIP, IP, if memory
serves
The Cisco site itself recommends reading RFC's, but makes gives no
specifics.
What are folks on this list reading? Recommending?
Chuck
