+NIC # 17048 June 5, 1973
+
+ SURVEY is in Operation Again
+
+The purpose of this message is to inform the network community that the
+survey program at MIT-DMCG computer system is in operation now. We are
+surveying hosts every 20 minutes instead of the earlier 15 minutes. It
+appears that some sites had problems with incomplete ICP's when survey
+first came up. The problem has definitely been fixed now. Please let
+me know (tel 617-253-1428 or 253-1449) if any site is being
+inconvenienced by the survey program. Upon written request I will be
+willing to not survey a particular server site. Upon oral or written
+request, I will add sites who wish to be surveyed but are not surveyed.
+
+The sites currently being surveyed are (host number in decimal):
+1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9,10,11,13,14,15,16,23,31,32,35,65,66,69,70,74,78,86,133,
+134,138,198. We issue an RFC to socket1 and now go though the complete
+ICP, ie establish telnet connections and then close them. The time for
+response is now the time to establish the telnet connections, so if your
+response time shows a larger number don't be alarmed (I think the new
+numbers are more meaningful and reflect the situation more accurately.)
+
+We are also providing a NETSTATUS service on socket 15. (decimal). So
+if you ICP to host 70 socket 15., you will get the following output:
+
+ mm,dd.yyyy,hh,mm
+ nnn,c,ttt
+ nnn,c,ttt
+ .......
+ -1
+
+Where first item is month, day, year, hour, minute and then is a list of
+host numbers, code, response time in tenths of second. The list ends
+with a minus 1, and we close the connections right after sending data
+(The service is designed so that both human users and programs can use
+the data ). You can of course log into dmcg and use our NETWRK
+subsystem which has commands for displaying the survey data in many
+formats (Ref. RFC 308, NIC 9259). We are also recording this data on
+the DATACOMPUTER (CCA). Your comments and suggestions will be
+appreciated.
+
+ Thank You
