  15.                           STANDARD HOST NAMES
  16.  
  17.  
  18. In RFC #226, Peggy Karp suggested that there be a set of standard host names,
  19. that the names be 6 characters in length, and gave a partial list.  In RFC
  20. #229, I suggested 8 character names and gave a longer list.  Here I present
  21. my list again with some modifications.
  22.  
  23. I also suggest that as far as possible the Standard host names be consistent
  24. with the site names used by the Network Information Center.  It also seems
  25. to me to be a good idea to consult with each host's technical liaison officer
  26. before assigning that host's name.
  27.  
  28. It has been brought to my attention that programmers are lazy and don't like
  29. to deal with character strings longer than one computer word or containing
  30. characters other than the capital letters A-Z or the digits 0-9.  Thus, I
  31. have included an alternate list which is limited to 4 character names using
  32. only the alphanumerics.
