Networking Group A. McKenzie Request for Comments: 240 BBN NIC #7665 30 September 1971 Categories: F, G.3 Rand 50ctu Updates: none Obsoletes: RFC 235

                            SITE STATUS
   Due to extensive typographic errors in RFC #235, I have

decided to reissue the first of our experimental site status reports.

   In compiling RFC #235, I followed the principle that

timeliness was somewhat more important than extremely careful editing; this seemed to me to be in keeping with the original RFC philosophy. I am sorry for any embarrassment this may have caused to anyone associated with the Network, and accept full responsibility for the content of RFC #235. I will try to do a better job in the future.

                            SITE STATUS
   Beginning with this RFC, BBN will report on the status of

most Network Hosts approximately once every two weeks. The information for these reports will be gained from talking to people at each site, and from experimental "data". These data will be the results of daily attempts to log into each of the Hosts which might be accessible to a Network user; the attempts will have been made from the BBN prototype Terminal IMP at a random time each weekday.

   Several Hosts are currently excluded from the daily testing.

These Hosts fall into two categories:

   1)   Hosts which are note expected to be functioning on the
        Network as servers (available for use from other sites) for at
        least a month.  Included here are:
             Network        Site      Computer
             Address
               71           Rand      PDP-10
               74           Lincoln   TX2
               11           Stanford  PDP-10
                                                              [Page 1]

RFC #240

               13           Case      PDP-10
               14           Carnegie  PDP-10
               15           Paoli     B6500
   2)   Hosts which are currently intended to be users only.
        Included here are the Terminal IMPs presently in the Network
        (AMES, MITRE, and BBN[1]).  This category also includes the
        Network Control Center computer (Network Address 5) which is
        use solely for gathering statistics from the Network.
        Finally, included among these Hosts are the following:
             Network        Site      Computer
             Address
                7           Rand      IBM-360/65
               73           Harvard   PDP-1
               12           Illinois  PDP-11
   The tables on the next two pages condense the information on

Host status for September 13 through September 24.

RFC #240

where

D = Dead.  (Destination Host either dead orinaccessible (due to
           network partitioning or local IMP failure) from the BBN
           Terminal IMP).
R = Refused.  (Destination Host returned a CLS to the initial RFC.) T
= Timed Out.  (Destination Host did not respond in any way to the
           initial RFC, although not dead.)
1/2 0 = 1/2 Open.  (Destination Host opened a connection but then
           either immediately close it, or did not respond any
           further.)
O = Open.  (Destination Host opened a connection and was
           accessible to users.)

Endnotes

 [1] The BBN Terminal IMP (Network Address 158) is a prototype, and as
 such is frequently not connected to the Network, but being used to
 refine and debug the Terminal IMP programs.
 [2] The UCLA IBM-360 is at the moment only able to handle Remote Job
 Service.  BBN is not equipped to test this, but is assuming that
 receipt of their canned message indicates that RJS is also
 functioning.
