+Network Working Group R. 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.
