INTRODUCTION
This is a guide to implementations and products associated with the DoD Defense Data Network (DDN) suite of data communication protocols, notably TCP/IP and OSI implementations. It is published for informational purposes only by SRI International on behalf of the Defense Communications System Data Systems (DCS DS) Office to assist those wishing to identify existing implementations or products incorporating the DoD protocols.
The guide has four major sections.
Section One contains background information about DoD protocols, DDN protocol policy, and qualification testing and evaluation procedures. It also explains how to obtain specific DoD protocol specifications and related documentation.
Sections Two through Four contain the implementation descriptions. Section Two lists software implementations, sorted alphabetically by company machine type. The Digital Equipment Corporation and IBM Corporation sections cover a wide range of machinery software from PC/compatibles to minis and mainframes; each is listed alphabetically within each machine category. A "Multiple Machine Implementations" list completes the Software section.
Section Three contains hardware implementations sorted alphabetically by company machine type and concludes with a list of multiple machine implementations.
Section Four, called Analysis Tools, covers the field of network analysis products, notably protocol and network analyzers. See also RFC 1147, "Network Management Tool Catalog," containing a listing of many products available.
The index at the back of the book can assist in locating particular implementations. It is sorted by operating system, machine type, company name and important keywords such as "X.25," "OSI," and "Gateway."
This document is available to Internet users as a public file on the NIC.DDN.MIL host (192.67.67.20). The file can be copied via FTP or KERMIT using the pathname: NETINFO:VENDORS-GUIDE.DOC.

1. BACKGROUND
1.1. The DoD Protocol Suite
In 1982 the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP) were designated official DoD network communication protocols by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD). These protocols are currently in use by the DDN, as is a DoD version of X.25. In late 1987 DoD began its transition to international protocols. (See Section 1.1.3 below.) Subscribers to the DDN need implementations and vendor products that incorporate both the TCP/IP and the OSI-based protocols, and protocols that assist with conversion between the two. This guide provides a list of such implementations and products.
1.1.1. DoD Protocol Selection and Announcement Procedures
Official Military Standard (MIL-STD) protocols are selected through a rigorous review process by the military services and the Defense Communications Agency (DCA). Once selected, they are deposited at the Naval Publications and Forms Center and are announced in the catalogs published by that organization as official military standards. See Section 1.3.1 for guidelines on ordering MIL-STDs.
The Department of Defense and each branch of the military have their own protocol announcement procedures as do non-military government agencies, such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, formerly the National Bureau of Standards). Commercial, national, and international standards organizations also have their own review and announcement procedures. See IEEE Communications Magazine, Vol. 23, No. 1, 43-55 (January 1985) for an excellent overview of the standardization practices of the various protocol standardization bodies within and outside of DoD.
1.1.2. OSD Directives
A number of memoranda from the Office of the Secretary of Defense have been issued which are specific policy statements regarding the DoD protocols. These memoranda are available via FTP, KERMIT or SERVICE, the NIC's automatic electronic mail service, from the NIC.DDN.MIL host computer using the following pathnames:

1.1.3. DoD Plans for the Transition to International Protocols
Vendors and implementors should be aware that the DoD has recently announced that it intends to transition to international protocols, when and if these protocols meet the requirements of the DoD. It is anticipated that any such transition will take place gradually and will not significantly impact the functionality, or the current level of interoperability on the DDN. To assist with this transition, this guide will include transition products as they are developed.
The following is an extract from a memorandum from the office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence that specifically addresses the Department of Defense plans to transition from the current suite of military standard data communications protocols based on the TCP/IP protocols to the suite of networking protocols based on the international standards. (Available online in its entirety as PROTOCOLS:OSDIR-12-88.TXT from the NIC.DDN.MIL host computer.)
M E M O R A N D U M
MEMORANDUM FOR:
SECRETARIES OF THE MILITARY DEPARTMENTS CHAIRMAN, JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF DIRECTORS, DEFENSE AGENCIES
SUBJECT: Open Systems Interconnection Protocols
From now until August 1990, the OSI protocols specified in GOSIP are adopted as a full co-standard to the Department of Defense protocols which provide similar services (MIL-STDs 1777, 1778, 1780, and 178l). During this period the DoD protocols may continue to be specified in addition to, in lieu of, or as an optional alternative to the corresponding OSI
4
protocols. Effective August 1990, the OSI protocols specified in GOSIP become the sole mandatory interoperable protocol suite and must be included in all proposals for new automated information systems and major upgrades which require net- work services. After that time DoD protocols may continue to be acquired in addition to the OSI protocols when required to support operational needs. OSI protocols which provide additional functionality will be added to GOSIP as implementation specifications for these protocols are developed. These protocols must be cited in all proposals eighteen months following their adoption into GOSIP.
The Department of Defense OSI Implementation Strategy was published by the Defense Communications Agency in May 1988 to establish the OSI protocols as a military co-standard with the current DoD protocols and to provide guidance for implementing DoD/OSI protocol interoperability in DoD networks. The Services and agencies should use this document in developing information systems requirements.

1.1.4. Government OSI Profile (GOSIP)
A Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) has been issued by the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) for GOSIP in the Federal Register, V52, Vo. 208, Oct. 28, 1987.
This FIPS proposes a Federal Information Processing Standard for a Government Open Systems Interconnection Profile (GOSIP) and outlines the policy of the Federal government, including the DoD transition from TCP/IP to ISO international protocols.
The GOSIP cites the Implementation Agreements for Open Systems Interconnection Protocols, the Manufacturing Automation Protocol (MAP) and Technical and Office Protocols (TOP) specifications, as well as the numerous federal standards, military standards, and international standards from ISO and CCITT upon which the "Workshop Agreements" are based.
GOSIP supports the Message Handling Systems (MHS) and File Transfer, Access, and Management applications (FTAM). GOSIP also supports interconnection of the following network technologies: CCITT Recommendation X.25; Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (IEEE 802.3); Token Bus (IEEE 802.4); and Token Ring (IEEE 802.5). Additional applications and network technologies will be added to later versions of the GOSIP document or vendor products in which such protocols are embedded.
1.2. The Defense Data Network (DDN)
All equipment attached to the DDN by military subscribers must incorporate, or be compatible with, the DoD internet and transport protocols. In addition, the OSI message handling and file transfer protocols, together with their underlying protocols as defined in GOSIP, have been adopted as experimental co-standards to the DoD protocols.
Potential implementors should be aware that protocol implementations for use in the DoD environment MUST comply with the MIL-STD versions of the protocol specifications. It is also important that the LATEST version of these specifications be used. Most of the protocol documents needed for implementation purposes are included in the DDN Protocol Handbook issued by the DDN Network Information Center. This handbook can serve as a useful reference to DoD protocols; however, implementors using this or any other similar document should always check to see if there are any later protocol or policy changes that apply.
1.2.1. DDN Protocol Conformance Testing
Subscriber interfaces which are to be used on the DDN must be qualified by meeting a series of performance tests. The results of these tests must satisfy a Technical Acceptance Team made up of personnel from the DCS DS, the Defense Communications Engineering Center (DCEC), or other appropriate assignees. The DCS DS has the final approving authority for subscriber
6
interface qualification.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), under contract to the Defense Communications Agency/Defense Communications Engineering Center (DCA/DCEC), has established a National Volunteer Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) to provide standardized test procedures for military standard data communications protocols. NVLAP accredits organizations to perform conformance tests of specific protocols. It is required that such conformance testing be performed prior to first operational use of the protocols on any DoD network for those contracts executed after 1 June 1989. These tests apply to the protocols specified in MIL-STDs 1777 (Internet Protocol), 1778 (Transmission Control Protocol), 1780 (File Transfer Protocol), 1781 (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), and 1782 (Telnet Protocol). Organizations are also accredited to test the X.25 interface protocol.
Further details regarding the conformance testing requirements can be found in the 26 August 1988 Memorandum issued by the office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense titled "Conformance Testing of Military Standard Data Communications Protocol Implementations." This document can be found online at the NIC.DDN.MIL host as PROTOCOLS:OSIDR-8-88.TXT.
This Guide is not the official "Defense Data Network (DDN) X.25 Qualified Host Interfaces" list. That list is issued periodically as a DCA memo. For information on how to acquire the list, contact the DDN Network Information Center.

2.2.2.2. TCPort Developers Kit
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: TCPort Developers Kit
DESCRIPTION:
TCPort Developers Kit is a software platform for the development of distributed Macintosh network applications running on top of TCP/IP, a de facto protocol standard for networking multiple dissimilar hosts. TCPort consists of two parts: (1) a choice of two basic TCP/IP transport systems, one provided by Novell and one from Apple Computer, and (2) an application programming interface (API). The TCP/IP transport system, which includes drivers for TCP,IP and UDP, provides seamless TCP/IP connectivity, allowing Macintoshes to communicate with other TCP/IP hosts, servers and workstations on a network.
The 4.3 BSD socket library API assists programmers and developers in developing distributed TCP/IP applications for the Macintosh. This socket model gives developers who are accustomed to the standard UNIX programming evironment a consistent means of accessing the transport protocol layer. The socket model is compatible with both the TCPort trnsport system from Novell and the MacTCP transport software from Apple. Having this compatibiltiy within the socket library enables a resulting application to run without concern as to which driver is installed. Developers then have a set of choices to use sockets if they choose, and with the proper licensing, to ship either or both drivers with their application.

2.3. BOLT BERANEK AND NEWMAN INC.
2.3.1. BBN-TOPS-20
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: BBN-TOPS-20
DESCRIPTION:
The TOPS20 Internetworking software supports multiple networks, multiple interfaces on a single network, and multiple protocol suites. Included in the standard distribution are an interface to 1822 nets via an AN20, an interface to a network front-end via a DTE20, and the DARPA protocol suite.
The DARPA IP, ICMP, TCP, Server TELNET protocols are included within the TOPS20 monitor; other protocols are implemented as user application processes. The IP module supports a routing cache maintained via ICMP redirect NET and HOST messages. It performs fragmentation and reassembly, implements all options except MTU Discovery, and can forward traffic between any of the host's interfaces. Applications may interface to the IP layer using User Queues.
All ICMP messages except Address Mask are supported; error messages may be sent by any of the protocol layers; higher layers are notified when a message is received concerning one of their packets. Messages can be sent by applications using the User Queue facility.
Applications can interface to TCP either as a read/write file or via multiple buffers. The TCP layer supports IP routing options, ICMP destination unreachable, source quench, and redirects which specify a type-of-service, and the segment size option. Support for preemption, precedence, and security options is delegated to the application. Telnet supports options and subnegotiations.
There is extensive inter-layer flow control, error reporting, and monitoring. Utilities are available to provide information, list monitoring data, and perform diagnostics.
DEC has distributed a prior version of this implementation as part of its standard TOPS20-AN monitor.

2.4. CRAY RESEARCH, INC.
2.4.1. Cray TCP/IP
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: UNICOS TCP/IP
DESCRIPTION:
UNICOS TCP/IP is the integrated networking protocol for the Cray operating system UNICOS. This implementation of TCP/IP is based on the Berkeley 4.3BSD tahoe distribution and contains support for the IP, ICMP, TCP, UDP, and SMTP protocols. Most of the BSD utilities are also supported, including telnet, ftp, rcp, rsh, rlogin, rexec, lpr, lpq, lprm, talk, ntalk, netstat, sendmail, finger, and ping. Other supported features including both internet and UNIX domain sockets, subnet address, and the domain name server named and inetd support.
Several performance improvements have been incorporated including both the Berkeley Van Jacobson enhancements and additional improvements made by Cray. The Van Jacobson enhancements are slow start TCP congestion control, round trip time variance estimation, exponential, retransmit timer backoff, dynamic TCP window sizing congestion control, and the fast retransmit algorithm. Cray has added a Cray specific mbuf management scheme plus extensive use of the Cray scalar, vector CPT hardware, and the fast I/O hardware. The combination of these improvements have resulted in TCP transfer rates reaching over 500 hundred megabits per second in software loopback.
The TCP protocols and utilities conform to the Internet RFC specifications, and DOD MIL-STD-1777 and MIL-STD-1778.
In combination with UNICOS TCP/IP, support is also available for SUN client and server NFS, SUN RPC/XDR, a special User and Group id mapping capability, Yellow Pages as an optional method for authenticating user passwords, Lock Manager, and REX. The MIT X-Windows System Version ll, Release 3 is also available.
Network media support is provided for the Cray FEI-3 Network Interface for VME based systems, the Cray HSX 100 Megabyte per second High Speed Channel, NSC HYPERChannel A-Series and NSC HYPERChannel DX equipment, CNT LANlord products, and Ethernet thru Cray channel connected gateway devices from NSC and CNT.

2.6.1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology
2.6.1.1. MIT Chives
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: CHIVES (MIT domain resolver for TOPS-20)
DESCRIPTION:
Implementation of Domain Name System (RFC-1034/1035) resolver and supporting software for TOPS-20. Implements full-service domain resolver, with support for arbitrary search paths, negative response caching, and automaticly scalable internal database. Two interfaces are provided: a raw IPCF interface, and a new TOPS-20 monitor call, GTDOM%, which provides all the useful functions of the standard DEC GTHST% call plus some new functions to support the Stanford FTP client and the MM-20 mailsystem (q.v.).
CHIVES does not currently have a name server interface (i.e., it
can act as a DNS client but not as a DNS server). CHIVES was
written with the intent that it be portable, particularly to other
PDP-10 operating systems, but so far noone as ported it beyond
TOPS-20. If you are interested in remedying either of these
deficiencies, please contact BUG-CHIVES@LCS.MIT.EDU, we'd like to
hear from you.
DOCUMENTATION:
Some documentation is provided with source distribution. Detailed installation instructions are provided, along with a guide to the various GTDOM% options. You're on your own after that.

2.8.4.2. SRI Multinet NFS Client
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: MultiNet NFS Client
DESCRIPTION:
The MultiNet NFS Client for VAX/VMS computer systems allows VMS applications to transparently access files stored on NFS servers. The NFS Client can mount remote file systems on any system that has an NFS server. The NFS Client device driver provides a standard file system interface and is called automatically by the normal VMS Record Management Services (RMS).
Remote NFS servers supporting full UNIX (NFS) file system semantics appear to VAX/VMS systems as fully-functional Files-11 ODS-2 file systems. This includes multinet file versions and arbitrary RMS file attributes. Text files created on an NFS server by the VAX/VMS client system appear as Stream_LF format files to the client. On the server, they appear as normal "stream" files, thus allowing them to be shared with applications running on the NFS server and other (including non-VMS) NFS clients. Other VAX/VMS file types are stored on the NFS server as "raw" VMS data blocks plus information about the RMS file attributes. This permits other VAX/VMS clients to share these files on the NFS server and non-VMS systems to access the data, provided the non-VMS systems are capable of interpreting the "raw" VMS data blocks.
The MultiNet NFS Client runs on top of the MultiNet multi-protocol networking software for VAX/VMS system (described in detail in its own section elsewhere in this manual). MultiNet and the MultiNet NFS Client support the full range of VAX processors running VAX/VMS version V4.5 or greater (including symmetrical multiprocessing support under VAX/VMS Version 5).

RI Multinet NFS Server
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: MultiNet NFS Server
DESCRIPTION:
The MultiNet NFS Server is a high-performance multi-threaded kernel-based NFS server for VAX/VMS computer systems. The NFS Server maps the complete UNIX file system semantics onto the VMS file system, including symbolic and hard links, making a VMS file system look exactly like a UNIX file system. All VMS text files are type-converted to look like UNIX stream files for maximum interoperability. The NFS Server uses a file and directory cache between the file system and the network to mask VMS bottlenecks from the requesting UNIX machine. The NFS Server uses a proprietary XDR serializer to move data directly between the file system cache and the network buffers. By default, the cache functions as a write-through cache, but can be configured as a write-back cache to increase performance.
The MultiNet NFS Server can export all Files-11 ODS-2 VMS volumes, including shadow sets, bound volumes, and DFS-served disks.
The MultiNet NFS Server distribution also includes a PC-NFS authentication and print server (PCNFSD). It allows IBM PCs and compatibles running NFS client software to access NFS served filesystems a though they are local DOS disk drives. PCNFSD supports printing from PC clients to VMS print queues.
The MultiNet NFS Server runs on top of the MultiNet multi-protocol networking software for VAX/VMS system (described in detail in its own section elsewhere in this manual). MultiNet and the MultiNet NFS Server support the full range of VAX processors running VAX/VMS version V4.5 or greater (including symmetrical multiprocessing support under VAX/VMS Version 5).

2.8.7. Process Software Corporation
2.8.7.1. TCPware for VMS
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: TCPware for VMS
DESCRIPTION:
TCPware for VMS is a family of highly modular TCP/IP networking software products designed and engineered exclusively for the VAX/VMS environment. The products support all major TCP/IP user and server protocols on a variety of network interface hardware. The following software products are members of the TCPware for VMS family:
1. - FTP-VMS
2. - NFS-VMS
3. - SMTP-VMS
4. - TCP-VMS
5. - TELNET-VMS
As a result of the native VMS designs, every TCPware for VMS product provides unsurpassed performance, efficiency, and reliability. Every TCPware for VMS product is also easy to install and operate, and they use DEC's recommended VMSINSTAL procedure for automatic and trouble-free user installation.
The TCP-VMS product provides the network (IP, ICMP, ARP) and host layer protocols (TCP, UPD), Domain Name Services, QIO and UNIX socket library interfaces, and a variety of support utilities for network startup, shutdown, gateway operation, and general network monitoring and management. A fully compliant DECwindows transport interface for VMS V5.3 or later is also included.
Many other protocols (BOOTPD, TFTP, WHOIS, etc.) are also supported by TCP-VMS. TCP-VMS has complete SLIP support for both dialup and dedicated serial lines, and an easy-to-use programmable IP interface that can be used to add full TCP/IP networking services on nearly any type of network interface available (such as X.25, T1, etc.). TCP-VMS also supports IP over DECnet, enabling separate TCP/IP LANs to be connected over WAN DECnet links.
In addition to supporting all standard DEC Ethernet interfaces, TCP-VMS is able to share the same Ethernet interface hardware and operate concurrently with other protocol software (such as DECnet, LAT, and LAVC).
The IP, TCP, and UDP protocol layers (together with ARP and
74
ICMP) in TCP-VMS are implemented as true VMS I/O drivers running in kernel mode. Because TCP-VMS is engineered to take advantage of the VAX architecture and the VMS operating system, it provides high thruput with low CPU overhead and minimum memory resources.
The FTP-VMS product provides both user and server file transfer support. Both a native VMS and a UNIX-style command interface are provided for user initiated file transfers. FTP-VMS also supports full file protection (both ACL and UIC) exactly as DECnet does, preventing unauthorized file access from remote users.
FTP-VMS has a complete online help facility, and it supports any number of simultaneous users with any number of simultaneous FTP connections, limited only by available VAX system resources. FTP-VMS has been shown to operate faster than other software and hardware implementations.
The NFS-VMS product is a full-featured NFS server that provides transparent access to VMS directories and files for authorized NFS hosts and users. NFS-VMS has been designed with both performance and security in mind. Users can increase NFS performance through a number of tuning parameters, such as datagram sizes, cache sizes, number of server threads, etc. Security features such as PROXY and EXPORT databases, NFS rights identifiers, and security logging of access violations are used to protect the VMS file system. NFS-VMS also supports the popular PC-NFS protocol.
The SMTP-VMS product provides complete support of the Simple Mail Transfer Protcol (SMTP) through the standard VMS MAIL messaging system. SMTP-VMS supports ARPA internet address and message formats, and it lets users access other SMTP mail systems either locally or across the Internet.
All of the features of VMS MAIL are available transparently to process SMTP-VMS messages, including distribution name lists, automatic notification of incoming mail, reading and editing mail messages, etc. SMTP-VMS also provides immediate delivery of outgoing mail messages, and it defers delivery to unavailable hosts. A number of run-time parameters can be set to customize SMTP-VMS, such as connection timeout values, delivery check and retry intervals, and maximum message life.
The TELNET-VMS product provides complete virtual terminal networking for both server and user TELNET functions. The highly-efficient TELNET server has been designed for high-bandwidth applications. The server is implemented as a VMS I/O driver, and it operates with only minimal CPU overhead. User TELNET functions are supported with a versatile and powerful utility used to establish TELNET connections with remote systems. The utility supports multi-line recall, startup command files, online help, definable keys, VMS process spawning, control character mapping, and much more.
The TELNET-VMS product also supports application programmers 75
with a full set of library routines that can establish and maintain TELNET connections with remote hosts.
The above FTP, NFS, SMTP, and TELNET-VMS products provide a superior method of networking, since they can be used either standalone or in any combination, making them ideal for applications that may need to grow.
And all TCPware for VMS products protect a user's investment, since they are designed and engineered for superior performance, efficiency, and reliability at competitive costs.

tm The LAN WorkPlace for PC DOS provides a personal computer running DOS with the ability to directly and concurrently connect to any TCP/IP device on an Ethernet LAN. The modularity of its design enables users to customize functionality. Once the EXOS Intelligent Ethernet Controller and TCP/IP transport system are installed, any combination of applications and network interfaces can be used. The TCP/IP includes FTP and TELNET applications, as well as VT-220, VT-100, VT-52, IBM-ANSI terminal emulations, third party networking terminal emulation programs are supported, and a set of UNIX System V utilities. It allows PCs to communicate directly and concurrently with dissimilar computers supporting standard TCP/IP protocols (such as hosts and CAD workstations.)
In addition, the Driver for Advanced NetWare allows the user to access Advanced NetWare 286.20a, 2.11 or SFT Netware 286.2.1 servers and it can be concurrently connected to TCP/IP hosts.
With the NETBIOS interface, users can run NETBIOS applications on top of TCP/ IP protocols and communicate with other PCs, servers, and hosts. The LAN WorkPlace Socket Library can be used to develop networking applications. With either of these two packages, users can run both NETBIOS applications and TCP/ IP applications concurrently, on the same PC. The software is shipped on floppy disks. Installation and diagnostics software is also provided.

2.14.1.1. Amateur Radio KA9Q TCP/IP
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: KA9Q/NET
DESCRIPTION:
This package provides the Internet protocols on the IBM PC running MS-DOS. It was designed primarily for amateur packet radio use. Except where otherwise noted, it was designed and written by Phil Karn, KA9Q (karn@louie.udel.edu).
The following protocols are included:
1. SMTP client and server. The server does not support aliasing or forwarding; all recipients must be local. A standalone command for sending mail is included in the distribution; it was written by Bdale Garbee, N3EUA (bdale%winfree.uucp@flash.bellcore.com).
2. FTP client and server. Image and ASCII types are supported. There is no access control as yet on the server (this is difficult to do under MS-DOS).
3. Telnet client and "server". The client understands the ECHO option. The "server" merely allows for keyboard-to-keyboard chatting, since MS-DOS isn't a timesharing system.
4. TCP echo and discard servers.
5. TCP. Multiple connections are supported. A lot of work has gone into tuning the implementation for operation over a VERY bad path, namely the amateur packet radio channel.
6. UDP.
7. IP/ICMP. At present only manually specified default and host-specific routing table entries are supported ("fully connected subnets" do not as yet exist in amateur packet radio). Most of the useful IP and ICMP options are supported.
8. Ethernet/ARP, for the 3-Com 3C-500 controller.
9. SLIP, compatible with Rick Adam's driver under Berkeley UNIX. The PC's regular asynchronous adapter ports are used.
10. AX.25/ARP, a special serial line mode for operation atop the amateur packet radio link level protocol AX.25. IP datagrams are
95
encapsulated in AX.25 UI (connectionless) frames. ARP resolves IP addresses into AX.25 callsigns. The resulting packets are sent out the asynch port in SLIP-style framing to a TNC (Terminal Node Controller) which reformats them in HDLC and does the actual transmission. "KISS TNC" code by Mike Chepponis, K3MC (chepponis@xx.lcs.mit.edu) for the TAPR TNC-2 is included in the distribution.
There is as yet no support for domain names; hosts are specified by their IP addresses. Internally, the package is structured as a simple commutator loop with extensive use of upcalls between adjacent layers. Additional applications are fairly easy to add if they are structured as event-driven state machines.
DOCUMENTATION:
Several text files (user's guide, programming reference, etc) are included in the distribution.
96
MACHINE-TYPE/CPU:
IBM PC, PC/XT, PC/AT and compatibles, with either a 3-Com 3C-500 (for Ethernet) or the standard 8250 IBM serial I/O ports (for SLIP and KISS/AX.25). The code has been successfully ported to other processors, including big-endian machines such as the 68000.

2.14.11.1. Netcom II PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: Netcom II
DESCRIPTION:
Netcom II connects 286 or 386-based computers running UNIX to public packet-switched data networks around the world. Netcom II is a complete implementation of the X.25 protocol for AT-bus and MCA machines. Netcom II runs under the following operating systems:
- AT & T UNIX V 3.2
- Interactive Systems 386/ix 1.0.x and 2.0.x
- SCO UNIX V 3.2
- SCO Xenix 386 and 286
Netcom II operates as either a packet-mode DTE or DCE, using either the 198 or 1984 versions of the X.25 protocol.
PAD SUPPORT FOR CONNECTIVITY
Remote users connecting from asynchronous terminals via PADs can log in t a machine equipped with Netcom II and use all UNIX utilities or applications programs. Netcom II maps stty calls which modify TERMIO flags to commands to the remote PAD in order to reduce packet charges and response time. Netcom II also provides a PAD utility which users can connect to remote hosts.
AUTOMATIC FILE TRANSFER
Using our tty interface, uucp can carry files across packet network connections to other machines supporting uucp. Both electronic mail and remote printers can use these facilities for fil transfer.
OPEN SYSTEMS INTERCONNECTION PROTOCOLS
X.25 corresponds to the lowest three layers (Physical, Link, and Network) of the Open Systems Interconnection communications architecture. As Netcom II supplies an application interface which gives the programmer full control over Switched Virtual Circuit connections, it greatly reduce the effort required to develop OSI applications.
INCOMING CALL CONTROL
A UNIX application can arrange to be informed of each and every call whic arrives from the network. The application can choose to clear or accept the call, pass it to another application, or switch it to login. We supply a table-driven incoming call daemon, X25daemon, which provides method for routing calls based on addressing information, call user data, or subnet addresses.

2.15.2.1. Mitek OpenConnect Systems TELNET/FTP CLIENTS, FTP SERVER and FTP
BATCH
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: TELNET/FTP CLIENTS, FTP SERVER and FTP BATCH
ENHANCEMENT FOR MVS
DESCRIPTION:
Mitek's TELNET/FTP Clients are IBM host software options that execute as TSO commands. Since both applications reside under TSO, the standard IBM environment is preserved. Communication is provided to the IBM systems through VTAM. Mitek's OpenConnect Server attaches to the IBM host as an IBM PU type 2 device and provides the SNA to TCP/IP network interface.
Mitek's TSO Telnet Client application allows a 3270 terminal to emulate a line-mode terminal on the TCP/IP network. In this mode, the 3270 terminal has access to all applications on any of the TCP/IP network processors or other gateways such as DDN that support TELNET terminals. The TELNET Client application is accessible from any terminal on the SNA network.
With Mitek's TSO FTP Client application, files can be transferred to or from any processor on the TCP/IP network. Any 3270 on the SNA network, any terminal using Mitek's PS 3270 emulation on the TCP/IP network, or any terminal using Mitek's TELNET Server can initiate the FTP File Transfer. The FTP File Transfer feature has options for source or binary code transmission and for insertion or stripping of carriage returns.
Like the FTP Client, the FTP Batch enhancement under MVS is used to transfer files to or from any processor on a TCP/IP network. However, FTP Batch allows the user to sequentially transfer numerous files automatically, rather than interactively transfer one file at a time.
Mitek's FTP Server resides on the IBM host and carries out file transfer requests from Ethernet hosts.

2.15.2.2. Mitek Systems TELNET Server Version 3
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: TELNET Server Version 3
DESCRIPTION:
TELNET Server Version 3 is an optional software feature available for Mitek Systems' OpenConnect Server Models M2030 and M2130. This option permits terminals or systems on a TCP/IP network which support a TELNET client to connect to the SNA Network Server and use the full-screen SNA 3270 emulation in the Server to access IBM mainframes or midrange systems on an SNA Network. TELNET Server Version 3 emulates an IBM 3278 Model 2.
Most importantly, TELNET Server Version 3 allows asynchronous applications on the IBM mainframe to access asynchronous terminals on a TCP/IP network. The product provides high-speed graphics passthru from IBM mainframes to any asynchronous terminal or workstation.
TELNET Server Version 3 supports Tektronix CX graphics applications on the IBM host, which means that any user who is operating a computer running TCP/IP and a telnet client with a terminal capable of interpreting Tektronix graphics can have access to the graphics applications on the IBM mainframe. Telnet Server Version 3 high-speed graphics passthru can operate under either MVS or VM. Telnet Server Version 3 also supports TN3270.

2.15.2.3. Mitek OpenConnect Systems Telnet Client Full Screen Option
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: Telnet Client Full Screen Option
DESCRIPTION:
Up until now, in order to have full screen access to asynchronous networks or computer systems, you needed to have an asynchronous terminal installed alongside your IBM 3270-type terminal.
Not any more.
With Mitek's Telnet Client Full Screen software, you can allow your IBM 3270 to connect to asychronous systems on the Ethernet Network, whenever you choose.
Mitek's Telnet Client Full Screen is the software innovation that enables any IBM 3270 terminal to have full screen access to asychronous computer applications on an Ethernet Network. When Mitek's Telnet Client Full Screen software is installed, the asychronous system residing on the Ethernet Network sees your IBM 3270 as if it were an asynchronous ASCII terminal.
Telnet Client Full Screen resides on IBM systems which run the VM and MVS operating systems as well as VTAM. Telnet Client Full Screen also supports the TN3270 Client.

2.27.6. RESEARCH TRIANGLE INSTITUTE
2.27.6.1. Research Triangle Institute FREEDOMNET
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: FREEDOMNET
DESCRIPTION:
FREEDOMNET is a software subsystem developed by the Research Triangle Institute that can be added to physically interconnected, heterogeneous UNIX-based computers to allow a user to access the resources of all of the computers in the network in a transparent manner. FREEDOMNET hides issues of inter-processor communications and network protocols from the user and is applicable to a wide variety of both local and wide-area networks.
All standard UNIX features are unchanged by FREEDOMNET software in form and meaning, with inter-machine communication taking place as necessary. With FREEDOMNET software, it is possible, for example, for a user to access files and peripheral devices on a remote machine by specifying a directory on a remote machine as being his current working directory, requesting execution of a program on a remote machine, or redirecting input and/or output. These standard UNIX features can be used without the user's conscious concern for the fact that several machines and their peripherals may be involved. FREEDOMNET preserves all UNIX semantics in order to achieve transparency.
Because FREEDOMNET preserves all UNIX semantics, it provides true transparency from the user's point of view. This includes transparency in a heterogeneous environment where differences in machine architecture (and UNIX implementation) must be masked. The FREEDOMNET "stateful" server approach allows for remote device sharing and for remote execution of programs. The fact that the standard UNIX file naming syntax is used to refer to remote files and devices makes FREEDOMNET very easy to learn and use effectively. In addition, existing programs (UNIX commands and user-written applications) can be made "distributable" without modification due to the consistent naming scheme and preservation of all UNIX semantics. FREEDOMNET provides a basis for implementing high-performance, fault tolerant, and secure distributed computing systems.
FREEDOMNET is added to the UNIX kernel much like a standard device driver. No kernel source changes are required. FREEDOMNET uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) on Ethernet, but is implemented so as to be independent of network hardware and protocols.

2.27.9.1. TN3270
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: TN3270
DESCRIPTION:
Version 4.1 of tn3270 is now available. Tn3270 emulates an IBM 3278 over TCP/IP.
Significant features to tn3270 are:
- Error messages, in English, overlay a portion of the screen
when the user types an erroneous entry (invalid control
sequence, attempt to enter data in an "input disallowed" field, etc.).
- Ability to "escape to shell". This, by itself, is mostly
useful in a non-BSD system.
- An Application Programming Interface (API). This allows
programs, running under Unix, to read and write the 3270
screen, and to send keystrokes (3270) to tn3270. This makes use of the "escape to shell" feature. Included in the distribution is a program which uses the API to receive files sent from the IBM host (we don't supply the IBM side at this point, and the protocol is likely to change in the future).
- Yale ASCII/7171/4994 "transparent" mode is fully implemented.
SAS-Graph, for example, supports doing graphics to TEK
terminals over this interface. Locally, we use the X windowing system terminal emulator (xterm), which provides some TEK emulation, to display SAS-Graph graphics on our workstations.
- Mset now prints out program function (PF) keys in numerical
order.

ISODE 6.0 consists of final "IS" level implementations with a few exceptions. ROSE and RTSE are current to the last circulated drafts (March, 1988); VT is a DIS implementation. The ISODE also contains implementations of the 1984 X.400 versions of ROS and RTS. ISODE is aligned with the U.S. Government OSI Profile (GOSIP).
Fugure modules planned for the next release include:
- OSI message handling system
- MHS/SMTP gateway
Although the ISODE is not "supported" per se, it does have a problem reporting address, Bug-ISODE@NISC.NYSER.NET. Bug reports (and fixes) are welcome by the way.

o Interacts with the network control center to support network
surveillance and management. Much of this interaction is automatic, consisting of status, abnormal event and control messages.
o Certified to operate on secure networks:
- Blacker compatible
- Operates with KG84 equipment
- Tempest Certified
- EMI/HEMP Certified
Synchronous Device Support:
o 3270 Bisync terminals, hosts and printers - Data rates up to 19.2 kbs o 3270 SNA terminals, hosts and printers - LU1 - LU2 - LU3 - Data rates up to 56 kbs o File transfers between host computers and PC's using IND$FILE. Both CUT and DFT devices are supported. o Interoperability with IBM X.25 NPSI products o Interoperability with IBM MVS TCP/IP products o Performs host emulation for synchronous devices so that the devices poll locally and not through the network. This increases performance and reduces network charges. Because of this feature, NAC allows for interoperability of dissimilar equipment: synchrono to asynchronous protocol conversion.
The NAC provides a full suite of communication protocols:
- X.25
- DDN certified for DoD applications
- CCITT 1984 including X.3, X.28, X.29
- Telnet
- Transmission Control Protocol - TCP

PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: HP 4972A LAN Protocol Analyzer
DESCRIPTION:
The HP 4972A local area network protocol analyzer is used for performance management and for troubleshooting problems on IEEE 802.3, Ethernet, or StarLAN local area networks. The HP 4972A provides accurate and complete information under all operating conditions. The HP 4972A provides a comprehensive, easy to use, diagnostic tool for fast problem isolation and maintenance. It monitors traffic on the network, generates data frames to test other nodes, and gathers statistics to verify network performance.
To assist in the management of network performance, the HP 4972A provides statistical information on network, node and connection levels. It counts and measures errors and other parameters for each node. Automatic test sequences make it easy to set up long-term tests and repeat the tests at regular intervals. A background traffic generator measures performance under different loading conditions which allows you to anticipate and plan for future growth. An optional color graphic display makes network activity easy to understand. Performance management software helps fine-tune the network.
The HP 4972A is also equipped for troubleshooting when sudden changes or unavoidable circumstances take your network down. The softkey-guided programming language helps test for problem network conditions as they occur. Network events can also be logged to disk and post-processed through the same program to examine for possible problems. A user-definable display format makes it easy to restrict data viewed to the critical information you need to solve a problem. Protocol interpreters display data captured by the HP 4972A in a decoded mnemonic format. Software tools available for the HP 4972A allow the user to see an "English" decode of many protocols. Network performance analysis tools are also available for these protocols. They allow the user to characterize operational performance of the network by testing and making measurements on efficiency and utilization of higher network protocol layers.
