+Network Working Group V. Cerf
+Request for Comments: 388 UCLA-NMC
+Obsoletes: 323 23 August 1972
+NIC: 11360
+Network Measurement Note #8
+
+ NCP Statistics
+
+ After a lapse of 5 months since RFC #323 was issued (23 March), I am
+ pleased to announce that UCLA-NMC is prepared to gather your NCP
+ statistics automatically on a daily basis. The results will be
+ published monthly as Network Measurement notes and as RFC's. We will
+ periodically open a connection on your local socket @241 (decimal),
+ expecting you to send the following data in the format shown:
+
+ <duplicate pages 3-5 of RFC 323 here>
+
+ a. Total bits sent to HOST
+ b. Total bits received from HOST
+ c. Total messages sent to HOST
+ d. Total messages received from HOST and optionally
+ e. Average Round Trip delay on send connections to HOST
+
+ The information above should be collected only for standard open
+ connections (i.e. those using standard NCP protocol) and not
+ measurement links or experimental NCP links, and in particular, not
+ traffic on link 0).
+
+ Another optional measurement would be to gather the distribution of
+ message types over link 0 over all HOSTS (i.e. not broken down by
+ HOST). This will reveal the relative utilization of control messages
+ (ALLOC should be very prevalent).
+
+ The data collected for the last 24 hour sample period should be
+ available from a process listening on local socket number 241 (10).

+The remaining words of the message depend on Format byte setting:

+Thus, the data you send will look roughly like this.

+
+ On completion of transmission of the last message, and after you
+ receive the RFNM for this last message, close the connection.
+
+ In the original specification, we said that the data gathering
+ program would ICP to some well-known socket. We believe this to be
+ an unnecessary complication and instead, we will merely open a
+ connection on your 241 (decimal), expecting you to send data as soon
+ as our Allocate command is received by your NCP. Please let me know
+ if this cannot be done (i.e. you need the ICP).
+
+ If you connect to UCLA-NMC socket 241, we will send you our own 24
+ hour data. Anyone interested in capturing these statistics is
+ welcome to do so.

+
+ Please note that these summarized statistics are for standard local
+ 24 hour period (e.g. local midnight to local midnight). They are not
+ for a sliding 24 hour period ending with the time at which statistics
+ were requested. Also, the data is to be collected only for open
+ connections on links 0, 2-71.
+
+ The following are participating (others) are heartily invited):
+ UCLA-NMC, DMCG, LL-67.
