rfc:rfc252

Network Working Group E. Wentheimer Request for Comments: 252 Bolt, Beranek and Newman Category: F, G.3 8 October 1971 NIC: 7696

 The purpose of this RFC is to report on the recent status of most
 Network Hosts.  During September 27 through September 29 the BBN
 prototype Terminal IMP (Network Address 158) was inaccessible due to
 hardware debugging.  The Network was, therefore, not examined on
 these days.
 Three Hosts which were not officially able to act as Server's at the
 time of RFC #240 are now able to do so.  These Hosts are:
       NETWORK          SITE              COMPUTER
       ADDRESS
       2                SRI (NIC)         PDF-10
       6                MIT (Multics)     H-645
       9                HARVARD           PDP-10
 The Harvard PDP-10, however, has limited core space.  They will,
 therefore, run the Telnet program only occasionally.
 The following two tables summarize the information on the Host status
 for September 30 - October 8.
 NETWORK  SITE  COMPUTER          DAY, DATE AND TIME (Eastern)

 where
    D = Dead (Destination Host either dead or inaccessible [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.)
    H = 1/2  Open (Destination Host opened a connection but then
    either immediately closed it, or did not respond any further.)
    0 = Opened (Destination Host opened a connection and was
    accessible to user.)
  • The UCLA IMB-360/91 currently has Remote Job Service (NETRJS),

but has not implemented a full server Telnet System. The BBN

      Terminal IMP is not equipped to test NETRJS however, we are
      assuming that receipt of the UCLA explanatory message indicates
      that NETRJS is also functioning.
    # These sites advertise that they may not have their system
      available # at these times.
