Karp +Request for Comments: XXXX MITRE +NIC: 5761 26 February 1971 + + + Categorization and Guide to NWG/RFCs + + The NWG/RFC Guide is an attempt to introduce some order into the + NWG/RFC series, which now numbers 102. The Guide categorizes the + NWG/RFC notes, identifies topics under discussion and the relevant + NWG/RFCs, and indicates whether the notes are current, obsolete, or + superseded. + + A minimum subset of NWG/RFCs is identified. This subset consists of + the NWG/RFCs that one should read to quickly become familiar with the + current status of topics. + + For historical reasons and for readers interested in tracing through + the stages of development of a topic, a brief summary is given for + each NWG/RFC relevant to a particular category. + + This initial Guide is being issued as a NWG/RFC since it establishes + the basis for future releases. So, please comment! Suggestions, + criticism, corrections, etc., will be accepted for a period of + approximately two weeks. Be critical as I have not had to implement + an NCP and probably have some misconceptions regarding various + technical points. An official version will be released on March 26. + The Guide will then be a unique series of documents, separate from + NWG/RFCs (as is the Document No. 1, No. 2 series). + + With regard to renumbering NWG/RFCs, I am inclined to keep she + sequential numbering scheme presently employed. The main reason for + this position is that the current numbers have both historical and + semantic significance. For example, reference to "#33, #66, #83, + etc." is a convenient shorthand (reminiscent of the old corny joke + about joke #s) used extensively during meetings. The list of + "current status" NWG/RFC numbers should dispel any fear of + maintaining stacks of NWG/RFCs for quick reference. The subject is + not closed, however, and I will entertain any objections, + suggestions, etc. + +GUIDE TO NETWORK WORKING GROUP/REQUEST FOR COMMENTS + + The NWG/RFC notes are partitioned into 9 categories, which in turn + are divided into subcategories. For each category the official + document (if any), unresolved issues, and documents to be published + are identified. + + + + +Karp [Page 1] + +RFC 100 Categorization & Guide to NWG/RFC's 26 February 1971 + + + For each subcategory, relevant NWG/RFCs are listed and a brief + description of the topics addressed in each note is given. + + The categories are again listed and the current NWG/RFCs identified + (p. 23). The NWG/RFCs in the list comprise the subset defining + "current status". Note that most of the documentation in the subset + addresses topics in Category D - Subsystem Level Protocol, where at + the present time most issues are unresolved. + + Finally, the NWG/RFCs are listed by number, with a reference to the + relevant categories (p. 26). + +A. ADMINISTRATIVE + +A.1 Distribution list + + NWG/RFC #s: 3, 10, 16, 24, 27, 30, 37, 52, 69, 95 + + The distribution list contains names, addresses, and phone numbers + for recipients of NWG/RFCs. The most recent list, NWG/RFC 95, + designates the Technical Liaison as the recipient for each site and + supersedes all other RFCs in this category. + +A.2 Meeting announcements + + NWG/RFC #s: 35, 43, 45, 54, 75, 85, 87, 99 + + General network working group meetings are held approximately every + three months. Special subcommittee meetings are held on an ad hoc + basis. All related NWG/RFCs are obsolete except 87, announcing a + graphics meeting to be held at MIT in April and 99, announcing a + general NWG meeting, Atlantic City, May 16-20. + +A.3 Meeting minutes + + NWG/RFC #s: 21, 37, 63, 77, 82 + + The meeting minutes present highlights of issues discussed at general + NWG meetings and report definite decisions that are made. + + To be published: A NWG/RFC will be published by Dick Watson, SRI, + reporting on the NWG meeting held at the University of Illinois, + February 17-19. + + + + + + + + +Karp [Page 2] + +RFC 100 Categorization & Guide to NWG/RFC's 26 February 1971 + + +A.4 Guide to NWG/RFCs + + NWG/RFC #s: 84, 100 + + The NWG/RFC Guide categorizes the NWG/RFC notes, identifies topics + under discussion, the relevant NWG/RFCs, and denotes whether the + notes are current, obsolete, or superseded. Included in this + category are lists of NWG/RFCs, ordered by number (as in 84) and/or + by author. + +A.5 Policies + + NWG/RFC #s: 18, 24, 25, 27, 30, 37, 41, 48, 53, 54, 72, 73, 77, 82, + 102 + + NWG/RFCs categorized as policy contain official stands on issues + i.e., the position taken by S. Crocker, NWG Chairman. The issues + covered are varied. + + In particular: + + 77 and 82 discuss meeting policy. + + 72, 73, 77, and 82 discuss the decision to delay making changes to + the Host/Host protocol in order to first gain experience with the + network. A committee to propose specific changes has been formed. + + 37 discusses changes to the Host/Host protocol and the schedule for + introducing modifications. + + 53 sets forth the mechanism for establishing and modifying the + official Host/Host protocol. + + 54 presents the initial official protocol. + + 48 presents some suggestions for policy on some outstanding issues. + + 41 requests the tagging of IMP-IMP teletype messages. + + Documentation conventions for NWG/RFCs are given in 24, 27, and 30. + + 25 and 18 designate uses for particular link numbers. 25 has been + superseded by 37 and 48. 18 is obsolete. + + 102 discusses the issuing of Document #2, in lieu of the official + modification procedure outlined in 53. + + + + + +Karp [Page 3] + +RFC 100 Categorization & Guide to NWG/RFC's 26 February 1971 + + +B. HOST/IMP PROTOCOL (LEVEL 1) + + Official document: BBN Memo No. 1822 (latest revision - February + 1971) + + Unresolved issues: Location of first byte of data in a message. + + To be published: Document No. 2 will be written by S. Crocker and + will, among other things, resolve the first byte location issue. + +B.1 General Topics + + NWG/RFC #s: 17, 17a, 19, 21, 33, 36, 37, 38, 46, 47, 102 + + In particular: + + 17 raised several questions regarding HOST/IMP protocol. In 17a,BBN + responds to the questions. + + 19 proposes that the hosts control the ordering of IMP/Host traffic + rather than getting messages delivered in the order received by the + IMP. This proposal is counter to BBN's position, specifically + expressed in 47; that is, buffering is a Host rather than an IMP + function. The purpose of buffering in the IMP is to handle surges of + traffic, thus IMP buffers should be empty. NWG/RFC 19 is obsolete. + + 21 discusses changes to BBN Memo No. 1822. The remarks are obsolete. + + 33 contains a general description of the interface between a host and + the IMP. NWG/RFC 47 comments on NWG/RFC 33. + + The use of RFNMs (type 10 and type 5 messages) to control flow is + discussed in NWG/RFCs 36, 37 and 46. The official position in "cease + on link" (i.e., discontinue the mechanism) is presented in 102 and + renders obsolete the remarks in 36, 37, and 46. + + 38 discusses the changes to message format that would be necessary if + multiplexing connections over links was allowed. + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Karp [Page 4] + +RFC 100 Categorization & Guide to NWG/RFC's 26 February 1971 + + +B.2 Marking/Padding + + NWG/RFC #s: 44, 48, 49, 50, 54, 64, 65, 67, 70, 102 + + In particular: + + 102 presents the decision of the Host/Host protocol committee to + abandon the marking convention and to ignore padding. The issue of + whether to have the first data byte begin after 72 bits of header or + to use double physical transmission (NWG/RFC #s 65, 67) is discussed. + + The former official position is expressed in 54: "All regular + messages consist of a 32 bit leader, marking, text, and padding. + Marking is a (possibly null) sequence of zeros followed by a 1; + padding is a 1 followed by a (possibly null) sequence of zeros." + + Several proposals to eliminate marking have been made. 64 suggests a + hardware modification to eliminate marking/padding by adding + appropriate counters to Host/IMP interfaces. 65 suggests breaking + regular messages into two messages. 67 supports 65. 72 and 73 suggest + that such changes be postponed until sufficient experience with the + network is gained. + + 44 introduces the notion of double padding and presents two + alternative approaches when a message does not end on a Host word + boundary: + + a) The host provides padding in addition to the IMPS ("double + padding") + + b) The host shifts messages to end on a word boundary. + + 48 explains double padding in more detail and discusses the pros and + cons. A suggestion is made to use marking to adjust the word + baundary (alternative b). NWG/RFCs 49 and 50 are concurrences with + 48. + + 70 presents a method to handle the stripping of padding from a + message. + + All NWG/RFCs in this category have been superseded by 102. + +C. HOST/HOST PROTOCOL (LEVEL 2) + + Host/Host protocol specifies the procedures by which connections for + inter-Host interprocess communication over the network are + established, maintained, and terminated. The software which + implements the protocol within each Host is called the Network + + + +Karp [Page 5] + +RFC 100 Categorization & Guide to NWG/RFC's 26 February 1971 + + + Control Program (NCP). The topics included in this category are + connection establishment and termination, flow control, interrupt + handling, error control and status testing, dynamic reconnection, and + the relationship between connections and links. + + Official documents: Document No. 1 by S. Crocker, 3 August 1970, with + modifications presented in NWG/RFC 102. + + Unresolved issues: Length of control messages + Location in message of first byte of data + Flow control algorithm + Socket identification format + + To be published: Document No. 2 will be written by S. Crocker and + will resolve the first three issues. A NWG/RFC will be written by J. + Heafner, in collaboration with E. Meyer and G. Grossman. presenting + the pros and cons on alternative proposals for socket number + identification. + +C.1 Host/Host Protocol Proposals + + NWG/RFC #s: 9, 11, 22, 33, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 44, 46, 48, 49, 50, + 54, 57, 59, 60, 61, 62, 65, 68, 93, 102 + + The official Host/Host protocol presented in Document No. 1 is based + on the proposals, discussions, acceptance, and rejection of ideas in + the above list of NWG/RFCs, up to and including 59. + + In particular: + + 9, 11, and 22 represent an early attempt at a Host/Host protocol. 11 + supersedes 9 and 22 contains some modifications to control message + formats presented in 11. The protocol was not considered powerful + enough because it didn't provide for inter-host communication without + logging in. This protocol was thrown out as a result of a network + meeting in December 1969. + + 33 is the basis for the current protocol. It was presented at the + SJCC, 1970. + + 36 is a modification of 33. It discusses connection establishment + without switching, flow control, and introduces the idea of + reconnection. Control commands are summarized. 36 was distributed at + a Network meeting in March 1970. + + + + + + + +Karp [Page 6] + +RFC 100 Categorization & Guide to NWG/RFC's 26 February 1971 + + + 37 presents the reaction to 36 and presents ideas on reconnection + flow control and decoupling of links and connections. Provisions of + error detection, status testing, experimentation and expansions are + discussed. + + 38, 39, 40, 44, 49 and 50 are comments written in response to the + meeting. 46 is also a comment but in the form of a rewrite of 33. 46 + introduces the notion of interrupts, INT, and ECO for status testing. + + 47 concerns the philosophy behind the notion of a link. + + 48 summarizes the issues discussed in the above NWG/RFCs. + + 54 is the initial official protocol submitted for criticism, + comments, etc. It introduces a new mechanism for flow control in + which the receiving host allocates buffer space and notifies the + sending host of the space available. + + 57 and 59 comment on 54. + + Document No. 1 differs from NWG/RFC 54 as follows: commands GVB and + RET have been added for flow control and error condition codes have + been added to ERR. NWG/RFC 102 presents some modifications to + Document No. 1: fixed lengths are specified for ECO, ERP, and ERR; a + new pair of commands RST and RRP (suggested in 57) are added. + + 60, 61, and 62 propose new Host/Host protocols, quite different from + the current official protocol. 62 supersedes 61. 60 and 62 are worth + considering for possible implementation in future protocols. + Hopefully, more documents of a similar nature will be generated as + experience is gained with the current protocol. + + NWG/RFCs 65 and 68 comment on Document No. 1. + + 93 points out an ambiguity in Document No. 1 regarding the + requirement of a message data type in the message sent from server + socket 1. The ambiguity is resolved by 102 which eliminates message + data type from level 2 protocol. + +C.2 NCPs (Description, Structure, Techniques) + + NWG/RFC #s: 9, 11, 22, 23, 33, 36, 44, 46, 48, 55, 70, 71, 74, 89 + + This category includes RFCs which give details of system calls, table + structures, implementation techniques, etc. + + + + + + +Karp [Page 7] + +RFC 100 Categorization & Guide to NWG/RFC's 26 February 1971 + + + In particular: + + NWG/RFCs 9, 11, and 22 are obsolete + + 23 is a general statement on sending or receiving multiple control + messages in a single communication. + + 33 discusses the system calls used for interaction between the NCP + and a user process. + + 36 describes a possible implementation giving table structures and + their interrelationships. + + 44 lists the system calls that SDC feels should operate, includes + spec. of calls to NCP. + + NWG/RFC 48 presents Postel's and Crocker's view on the environment in + which a host time-sharing system operates, suggests some system + calls, and presents a design to illustrate the components of an NCP. + + 55 presents a prototypical NCP which implements the initial official + protocol specified in 54. It is offered as an illustrative example. + + 70 gives some techniques for stripping the padding from a message. + + 71 presents the method employed by the CCN-Host at UCLA to + resynchronize flow control when an input error occurs. + + 74 documents the implementation of sections of the NCP at UCSB. + + 89 gives a brief description of the "interim interim NCP" (IINCP) on + the MIT Dynamic Modeling PDP-6/10 used to run some experiments. + +C.3 Connection Establishment and Termination + + NWG/RFC #s: 33, 36, 39, 44, 49, 50, 54, 60, 62 + + The NWG/RFCs in this category present the system calls and control + commands used to establish and terminate connections, i.e., the + handshaking that must transpire before connections are established or + terminated. + + In particular: + + 36 presents a rough scenario of connection establishment which + differs from that specified in 33 in that establishment does not + include procedures for switching procedures. + + + + +Karp [Page 8] + +RFC 100 Categorization & Guide to NWG/RFC's 26 February 1971 + + + 39 suggests the addition of a command TER to supplement CLS. + + 44 discusses the use of the CLS command and suggests that two + commands BLS and CLS be adopted. + + 46, 46, and 50 all discuss queuing of RFCs. + + 54 presents the initial official method for establishing and + terminating connections. + + 60 and 62 present schemes different from the official protocol. + +C.4 Flow Control + + NWG/RFC #s: 19, 33, 36, 37, 46, 47, 54, 59, 60, 65, 68, 102 + + The NWG/RFCs in this category address the problem of controlling the + flow of messages from the sending socket to the receive socket. The + official position is stated in Document No. 1 with an unresolved + issue pending as described in NWG/RFC 102. + + In particular: + + 19 suggests that Hosts may want the capability of agreeing to lock + programs into core for more efficient core-to-core transfers. This + may require different handling of RFNMs. + + 33 describes the use of RFNM (type 10 rather than 5) on a link to + control flow. A control command RSM (resume) is defined to allow the + host to signal for resumption of message flow. 46 describes the same + technique. + + 37 describes the effect some proposed changes (for reconnect and + decoupling of connections and links) would have on RFNMs and "cease + on link." + + 46 (MIT's rewrite of protocol) introduces BLK and RSM commands as an + alternative to "cease on link", SPD and RSM commands. + + 47 presents BBN's position that buffering be handled by the Host, not + the IMP. + + 54 introduces a new flow control mechanism in which the receiving + host is required to allocate buffer space for each connection and not + notify the sending host of bit sizes. A new command, ALL to allocate + space is sent from the receiving host to the sending host. With this + new mechanism, 33, 37, 46, and 47 become obsolete. + + + + +Karp [Page 9] + +RFC 100 Categorization & Guide to NWG/RFC's 26 February 1971 + + + 59 presents the objections of Project MAC and Lincoln Labs to the + flow control mechanism introduced in 54. Their preference is for + "cease on link" which allocates buffer space on demand. + + 60, which defines a simplified NCP protocol, presents a method of + flow control based on the requirement that connections are full + duplex. + + 65 comments on Document No. 1. With respect to flow control, it + disagrees with the allocation mechanism and the introduction of + irregular message to make the cease mechanism work. + + 68 proposes modifications to RFNM by defining three forms which would + insure control of data and would replace the memory allocation + mechanism. + + 102 eliminates the cease mechanism and introduces potential + modifications to the flow control mechanism. The latter will be + resolved and presented in Document No. 2. + +C.5 Error Control and Status Testing + + NWG/RFC #s: 2, 37, 39, 40, 46, 48, 54, 57, 102 + + This category addresses schemes for detecting and controlling errors + and for Host status reporting and testing. + + In particular: + + 2 talks about error checking and gives an algorithm for implementing + a checksum. It also recommends that Hosts should have a mode in + which positive verification of all messages is required. + + 37 brings up the topics of error detection and status testing, which + are expanded by RAND in 39 and 40. 39 introduces control commands ERR + for error checking and QRY, HCU, and HGD for status testing. 40 + expands on the discussion, suggests error codes, introduces RPY as a + response to QRY, and suggests that NOP could be used for reporting + Host status. + + 46 concurs with 40 on ERR and introduces ECO to test communication + between NCPs. + + 48 recommends that ERR, as presented in 40 and 46, be adopted, that a + distinction be made between resource errors and other error types, + that ECO, presented in 46, be of variable length, and that an ECO, + ERP command pair be adopted. + + + + +Karp [Page 10] + +RFC 100 Categorization & Guide to NWG/RFC's 26 February 1971 + + + 54 officially specifies the control commands ERR, ECO, and ERP. The + official protocol doesn't include a specific list of error types nor + does it recommend the action to be taken. Suggestions for extensions + to error detection and recovery and Host/Host status testing are + encouraged. + + 57 presents a list of error types and suggests new commands OVF for + overflow errors and RST/RSR for host status testing. + + 102 sets fixed lengths for ERR, ECO, and ERP control commands. RST + and RSR are adopted. + +C.6 Interrupt + + NWG/RFC #s: 46, 48, 49, 50, 54, 102 + + The interrupt system call and the INT control commands are used to + interrupt a process. This is actually a third level issue. The + NWG/RFCs leading up to the decision to include INR and INS in the + official protocol are summarized below. + + In particular: + + 46 introduces the INT command as a method for interrupting a process. + + 48 recommends adoption of INT with the restriction that the feature + should not be used during communication with systems which scan for + interrupts and that INT should not be used on non-console type + connections (see D.2). + + 49 expands on the explanation of INT. 50 concurs with proposal 46, + that INT is useful. + + 54 induces INT, INS control commands in the official protocol as an + escape mechanism, where interpretation is a local matter. + + 102 discusses synchronization of interrupt signals, presents two + implementation schemes, and relegates the topic to third level + protocol. INS should be used to indicate a special code in the input + stream. + +C.7 Dynamic Reconnection + + NWG/RFC #s: 33, 36, 37, 38, 39, 44, 46, 48, 49, 50 + + The notion of dynamic reconnection was introduced early in the + Host/Host protocol design. However, the consensus was that it + introduced complexities with which the initial NCP implementations + + + +Karp [Page 11] + +RFC 100 Categorization & Guide to NWG/RFC's 26 February 1971 + + + did not want to cope. The need for dynamic reconnection was + questioned; NWG/RFC 48 explains why it was included and considered + useful. + + In particular: + + 33 introduces the concept of switching connections to the Logger. 36 + presents a scheme for dynamic reconnection, i.e., reconnection can + take place after the flow is started. + + 37 presents two methods suggested by BBN for handling reconnection. + + 38 discusses changes to proposed END and RDY control commands that + would be necessary if connections were multiplexed over links. + + 39 states that dynamic reconnection is too complex. + + 44 presents two cases where reconnection could be used, suggests that + the cases be separated, and recommends implementation of only the + case of a simple connection switch within the same Host. + + 46 recommends that dynamic reconnection be reserved for further + Host/Host protocol implementations. + + 48 discusses the aesthetics of dynamic reconnection in detail but + concedes that it won't be included in the initial protocol. 49 and 50 + concur with the decision. + +C.8 Relation Between Connections and Links + + NWG/RFC #s: 37, 38, 44, 48 + + A connection is an extension of a link. The NWG/RFCs in this + category discuss this relationship. + + In particular: + + 37 presents the pros and cons on decoupling connections and links. 38 + recommends that connections be multiplexed over links. Two cases + where this would be useful are presented. The effect on the proposed + protocol is discussed. Both 37 and 38 suggest the inclusion of the + destination socket as part of the text of the message and recommend + that messages should be send over any unblocked link. + + 44 suggests the use of link numbers in control commands (except RFSs) + due to the 1 to 1 correspondence between links and foreign socket + numbers. + + + + +Karp [Page 12] + +RFC 100 Categorization & Guide to NWG/RFC's 26 February 1971 + + + 48 recommends leaving links and connections coupled. + +C.9 Other + + Other topics that fall into the category of Host/Host protocol are: + + Marking/Padding: see B.2 + + Record/Message Boundaries: see D.5 + + Experimentation and Expansion. The assignment of links for + experimentation and expansion is discussed in NWG/RFC #s 37 and 48. + + Instance Tag: The addition of an instance tag to the socket + identifier is introduced in 46, is supported by 49 and 50, and is not + recommended in 48. The matter is unresolved (see "To be published", + section C). + + Broadcast Facility: A control command to implement a broadcast + facility as introduced in 39. It was not supported in 48. + +D. SUBSYSTEM LEVEL PROTOCOL (LEVEL 3) + + Official document: none + + Unresolved issues: all + + To be published: Three committees have been set up to address user + level issues, specifically: logger, console, and TELNET protocols + (D.1, D.2, D.3); data transformation (D.4); and, graphics protocol + (D.6). Status reports will be published prior to the next Network + meeting (May 1971). In addition, a companion paper to 98 discussing + console protocol has been promised by MIT MAC and G. Grossman (Ill.) + will issue an RFC proposing a file transmission protocol. + +D.1 Logger Protocol + + NWG/RFC #s: 33, 46, 48, 49, 50, 56, 66, 74, 77, 79, 82, 88, 91, 93, + 97, 98 + + Logger Protocol specifies the procedures by which a user gets + connected to a remote Host. The logger is a process, always in + execution, which listens for login requests. + + + + + + + + +Karp [Page 13] + +RFC 100 Categorization & Guide to NWG/RFC's 26 February 1971 + + + In particular: + + 33 proposes that the logger listen to calls on socket #0. It then + switches to the assigned socket. The sequence of events is + illustrated. + + 46 proposes a User Control and Communication (UCC) module, which + implements logger protocol and permits the logger to interact with + the NCP. It proposes the use of two full-duplex pseudo-typewriter + connections. + + 48 proposes that sockets <U, H, 0> and <U, H, 1> designate either the + input and output sockets of a copy of the logger or the console + sockets. + + 49 is a write-up of a combination of the proposals presented in 46 + and 48. 49 presents the disadvantages of the new proposal and reverts + back to supporting the UCC of 46. + + 50 indicates RAND support for the UCC presented in 46. + + 56 defines a send-logger and a receive-logger with a full-duplex + connection. The logger handles one request at a time; requests are + queued. The receiver logger is identified as user 0 on socket 0. + + 66 introduces a dial-up protocol (Initial Connection Protocol, ICP) + to get a process at one site in contact with the logger at another + site. + + 74 documents the logger implemented at UCSB. + + 77 and 82 report the discussion of logger protocol at the FJCC 1970 + Network meeting. E. Harslem and E. Meyer agreed to write proposals. + + 79 discusses a conflict between Document No. 1 and NWG/RFC 66 + regarding the use of ALL prior to connection establishment. + + 80 presents a variation of 66 that rectifies the conflict. 80 also + suggests that ICP should apply to more than just the logger i.e., let + user 0 signify the logger. + + 88 documents the logger implemented as part of NETRJS, which allows + access to RJS at UCLA's CCN. The ICP described in 66 and 80 is + adhered to. The logger is designated as user 0. + + 91 contains a description of the logger for the PDP-10 at Harvard. + + + + + +Karp [Page 14] + +RFC 100 Categorization & Guide to NWG/RFC's 26 February 1971 + + + 93 points out an ambiguity in the Host/Host protocol of Document No. + 1 regarding the requirement of message data type for ICP. The + ambiguity is rectified by NG/RFC 102. + + 97 includes the ICP (as proposed in 80) used to establish connection + to NIC. + + 98 is the logger protocol proposal issued by E. Meyer. + +D.2 Console Protocol + + NWG/RFC #s: 20, 44, 46, 48, 49, 50, 56, 66, 74, 77, 82, 88, 91, 96, + 97, 98 + + Console protocol will specify conventions for what goes out over the + network. Included are conventions for echoing, character set, + interrupt or break, end of line, message formats. + + In particular: + + 20 suggests a standard of 7-bit ASCII in an 8-bit byte, with the high + order bit 0. + + 44 discusses three possibilities for echoing over the network + (echoing, no echoing, optional echoing) and states a preference for + no echoing. 44 also states a preference for establishing a network + common code where all code conversion is performed on outgoing text; + thus, all incoming text would be in the common code. + + 46 proposes the use of interrupt on the third level. An interrupt + means "quit" when sent from a requestor process to a created process. + The command level is entered. + + 48 and 49 relegate issues of echoing and code conversion to third + level protocol. + + 50 and 56 support adoption of ASCII for the network standard + character set. 56 also discusses two uses of break characters + (interrupt): in a panic situation and to exit from subsystem. Three + message formats (character by character, end by carriage return, + several command lines per message) are discussed. A recommendation + that echoing be handled locally is made. + + 66 specifies that the standard console use 7-bit ASCII in 8 bits with + the 8th bit on (note the conflict with 20). It also specifies the + use of INR for break or interrupt. + + 74 documents console protocol implemented by UCSB. + + + +Karp [Page 15] + +RFC 100 Categorization & Guide to NWG/RFC's 26 February 1971 + + + 77 and 82 report on console protocol topics (echoing, full vs half + duplex) discussed at the Network meeting, FJCC 1970. + + 88 documents conventions used by NETRJS for RJS at CCN, UCLA. + + 91 discusses code standards. + + 96 and 97 document conventions used for NIC at SRI ARC. + + 98 proposes specifications for general console communications and + addresses full vs half duplex, character escapes, and action + characters. + +D.3 TELNET Protocol + + NWG/RFC #s: 15, 33, 76, 80, 83, 91, 96, 97 + + TELNET is a subsystem permitting a teletype-like terminal at a remote + Host for function as a teletype at the serving Host. TELNET protocol + specifies user level interface to the network by way of network + system calls. + + In particular: + + 15 introduces the TELNET concept and presents a sample dialogue + between Utah's PDP-10 and SRI's 940. System primitives are proposed. + + 33 describes TELNET and gives essentially the same example as in 15. + + 76 describes a terminal user control language for Illinois's PDP-11 + ARPA Network Terminal System. The protocol defined permits the user + to utilize the network at a symbolic level. + + 80 and 83 introduce the concept of a Protocol Manager that can manage + protocol sequences between consoles and the network. The Form + Machine (see D.4) can be used for translations. + + 91 contains a proposal for a User/User protocol that has the ability + to function as TELNET. + + 96 describes a series of experiments to be conducted using the TELNET + subsystem at SRI ARC. + + 97 presents a detailed proposal for a standard TELNET protocol. + + + + + + + +Karp [Page 16] + +RFC 100 Categorization & Guide to NWG/RFC's 26 February 1971 + + +D.4 NIL, DEL, and Form Machines + + NWG/RFC #s: 5, 31, 42, 51, 63, 80, 83, 96 + + NIL, DEL, and Form Machines are proposals of similar methods for + adapting user programs and/or data to the network. A committee + chaired by J. Heafner has been formed to plan, implement, and + exercise a language for reconfiguring data streams. + + In particular: + + NIL (Network Interchange Language), described in 51, introduces the + concept of an abstract network machine which would permit a user to + consider the computer network as an overall computing facility. All + dialogue would take place between hosts and the network machine. NIL + permits the description of the environment and the description of the + Front End of an interactive system. Sublanguages for describing + control, operation, data declaration, and environment are used. With + NIL, the network machine can operate in standard mode as well as + user-defined extended mode. The network machine can act as a user of + a Host; conversely, a Host can be a user of a network machine. Each + Host will have a generator to generate a translator from the + descriptive sublanguage inputs. + + DEL (Decode - Encode Language), described in 5, utilizes a front end + translator at the using site to translate the using site characters + to the server host character set. Return messages are subsequently + translated locally to the local standard. Immediate feedback in an + interactive mode is also handled locally. DEL can be used for the + operation of large display-oriented systems. Provisions are given + for representing a universal hardware. The syntax is included. + + Two proposals for the Form Machine have been given. 80 introduces the + concept of the Form Machine, an experimental software package + operating on regular expressions that describe data formats. 83 + presents a different approach: a syntax-driven interpreter which + operates on a grammar which is an _ordered_ set of replacement rules. + 83 contains a description of the Form Machine with some examples of + replacement rules for particular data types. Application of the + Form-Machine to program protocols is also discussed. + + 31 proposes a message description language as a standard symbolic + method for defining and describing binary messages. In the future, + the descriptive language could be used as input to generators of data + translation programs. + + 42 proposes the use of message data types prior to the development of + network languages specifying the syntax and semantics of messages. + + + +Karp [Page 17] + +RFC 100 Categorization & Guide to NWG/RFC's 26 February 1971 + + + Programs would extract the message data type and transform the data + accordingly. Both standard and local types would be handled (as in + RFC #51), probably using tables stored at one location such as NIC. + 62 presents data typed codes. + + 96 includes a discussion on a Front End for NLS (T) and suggests that + further study be given to standard languages as presented in 51. + +D.5 Record/Message Boundaries + + NWG/RFC #s: 13, 49, 50, 58, 63, 77, 82, 91 + + Positions that no special structures should be imposed on data + transmission are presented in 49 and 91. 50 and 58 disagree. 58 + claims that logical and physical message distinctions exist and that + logical messages must begin on a physical message boundary. + + 63 reports a decision from a meeting that records may begin anywhere + in a message. In a later meeting, 77 and 82, the issue was reopened. + Discussion included consideration of methods of indicating the end of + message and alternatives were given. Earlier RFCs had discussed + these alternatives: 13 proposes a 0 length message to specify EOF; 50 + proposes use of a bit count preceding the transmission and discusses + solutions to the problem of dropping bits. + +D.6 Network Graphics + + NWG/RFC #s: 43, 77, 80, 82, 86, 87, 89, 94 + + Proposals specifying network graphics protocol are in the formative + stages. + + In particular: + + 43 mentions LIL, in interpretable language at Lincoln Labs that can + handle interactive graphics. + + 77 and 82 discuss the formation of a working group to specify + procedures for using graphics over the network. + + 80 states that graphics oriented descriptions will added to the Form + Machine. + + 86 is a proposal for a network standard format for a data stream to + control graphics displays. 87 announces a network graphics meeting to + be hosted by MIT and suggests discussion topics. Both 86 and 87 are + attempts to stimulate some interest in the generation of graphics + protocol proposals. + + + +Karp [Page 18] + +RFC 100 Categorization & Guide to NWG/RFC's 26 February 1971 + + + 89 describes a Harvard-MIT graphics experiment using the network. + + 94 comments on 8 and presents an alternate proposal. + +D.7 File Transmission + + NWG/RFC #s: 13, 38, 77, 82, 91 + + The subject of file transmission over the network is at the informal + discussion stage. Nothing substantive has been published as NWG/RFCs + om this category. + + In particular: + + 13 proposes using a 0 length message to specify EOF. + + 38 recommends routing multiple connections over the same link to + handle file transmissions over the network. + + 77 and 82 summarize comments on file transmission problems aired at + the Network meeting in Houston, Nov. 1970. + + 91 describes how PDP-10 file transmission could be handled over the + network. + +E. MEASUREMENT ON NETWORK + + Official document: none + + Unresolved issues: Should NCPs be altered to keep measurement + statistics? + +E.1 General + + NWG/RFC #s: 77, 82 + + Both 77 and 82 report on the comments made at the Network meeting, + Houston 1970, regarding network measurements. UCLA and BBN are + officially responsible for gathering network statistics. Is it + reasonable to alter the NCP to keep statistics? + +E.2 Clock + + NWG/RFC #s: 28, 29, 32, 34 + + The NWG/RFCs in this category discuss requirements for a clock to + measure network delay. + + + + +Karp [Page 19] + +RFC 100 Categorization & Guide to NWG/RFC's 26 February 1971 + + + In particular: + + 28 is concerned with the installation of a real-time clock at SRI ARC + and requests comments concerning network time standards for delay + measurement. + + 29 responds to 28, stating that a millisecond clock should be + sufficient. + + 32 discusses the desirability of adding a network clock for + measurement of user-oriented message delays. A one millisecond + resolution is a reasonable specification. The problems of clock + synchronization and long term accuracy are addressed. + + 34 describes the SRI ARC clock on the XDS 940. + +F. NETWORK EXPERIENCE + + NWG/RFC #s 78, 89 + + Reports on experience with the network are starting to be published. + As sites begin to get their NCPs up, more notes in this category + should be generated and are encouraged. + + In particular: + + 78 describes NCP checkout between UCSB and RAND. + + 89 describes initial activity on the network between MIT MAC Dynamic + Modelling/Computer Graphics PDP-6/10 System and the Harvard PDP-10. + +G.
