Network Working Group E. Westheimer Request for Comments: 298 1 February 1972 NIC: 8486

                        NETWORK HOST STATUS
 This RFC reports on the status of most Network Hosts from January 17
 to January 28.
 Several Hosts are currently excluded from the daily testing.  These
 Hosts fall into two categories:
 1) Hosts which are not expected to be functioning on the Network as
    servers (available for use from other sites) on a regular basis
    for at least two weeks.  Included here are:
       NETWORK             SITE           COMPUTER
       ADDRESS
       133                 BBN            PDP-10(B)
       13                  Case           PDP-10
       15                  Ames/(Paoli)   ILLIAC/(B6500)
 2) Hosts which are currently intended to be users only.  Included
    here are the Terminal IMPs, which are presently in the Network
    (AMES, MITRE, NBS and BBN*).  This category also includes the
    Network Control Center (Network Address 5) which is used 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
       19                  NBS            PDP-11
 NOTE:  During this interval both the UTAH PDP-10 and the RAND PDP-10
        became Network servers.
 The tables on the next two pages summarize the Host status for this
 period.
  • 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.

  where
    D = Dead (Destination Host either dead or inaccessible [due to
    network partitioning or local IMP failure] from the BBN Terminal
    IMP.)
    H = 1/2 Open (Destination Host opened a connection but then either
    immediately closed it, or did not respond any further.)
    O = Open (Destination Host opened a connection and was accessible
    to users.)
    R = Refused (Destination Host returned a CLS to the initial RFC.)
    T = Timed out (Destination Host did not complete the ICP and open
    a connection within 60 second)
  • The only service currently offered by the UCLA IBM-360/91 is a

Network Job Service (NETRJS), however, the BBN Terminal IMP is not

    equipped to test NETRJS.  We are assuming that initial connection
    to the NETRJS logger indicated the NETRJS is also functioning.
