Metcalfe +Request for Comments: 222 Project MAC +NIC: 7621 13 September 1971 + + + As described in RFC's #207 and #212, the next meeting of the ARPA + Computer Network Working Group (NWG) will be held at MIT Project MAC + in Cambridge, Massachusetts, October 10-14, 1971. + + The first phase of the NWG meeting is to be a workshop for a + representative group of system programmers from those sites with + operational TELNET interfaces. From noon, Sunday, October 10, until + sometime late Monday evening, teams of workshop participants will hit + the ARPA network from MAC consoles in an intensive effort to study + its operational characteristics and to work on any remaining trouble + spots in protocols and their implementations. + + Although the NWG meeting is geared for heavy attendance, our + facilities and objectives make it important that no more than a dozen + system programmers be present for the grueling workshop sessions + planned. These system programmers should be from sites with + operational TELNET interfaces (user and/or server) and should have a + working knowledge of protocols, their own NCP's, and TELNET + implementations. Sites wishing to send a system programmer should + leave his name and address with Anne Speare at (617) 864-6900 x1458. + + In preparation for the workshop, we are working on documentation + describing our user TELNET and a site-use scenario booklet to be used + at the workshop in exercising various systems. It is our intention + to establish a pattern of routine usage with as many sites as + possible prior to the workshop. In developing the site-use scenario + booklet, we will be looking for advice and comment from participating + hosts. + + Because the use of computers with operational network protocols is + central to the success of the workshop, we are working hard to bring + our developing system into a period of stability and are making + special arrangements for on-site hardware repair personnel. To the + extent that participating sites can make similar preparations, the + chances for a successful workshop will be improved. + + We are hoping that knowledgeable network people will be on call at + the various sites during the workshop so that there will be some hope + of fixing minor implementation problems on the fly. + + We will begin the workshop at noon on Sunday, October 10 with a brief + strategy meeting in Project MAC's second floor conference room, #217, + 545 Technology Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Our first mission + + + +Metcalfe [Page 1] + +RFC 220 System Programmer's Workshop 13 September 1971 + + + will be to establish and exercise all possible TELNET connections + with MAC's PDP-10 (Host 70.). When this first check-off is complete, + we will meet again to discuss difficulties and to regroup for our + second mission. By appropriately nesting TELNET's, we will pair up + to systematically fill in the matrix of possible TELNET connections. + + During the workshop we expect to be finding and fixing implementation + problems, discussing protocol, and getting an extremely valuable + introduction to the use of a wide variety of hosts. Our experience + in the workshop will be an important input to the NWG sessions to + follow. In particular, we are to generate specific reports for the + protocol review and status sessions. + + See you then. + + Bob Metcalfe + + (617) 864-6900 + x1429 Office + x1458 Secretary + x2910 Computer Room + + Room 203 + Project MAC + 545 Technology Square + Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 + + + [ This RFC was put into machine readable form for entry ] + [ into the online RFC archives by Ryan Kato 6/01] + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Metcalfe [Page 2] + |
