Bhushan +RFC # 523 MIT-DMCG +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 + + Abhay Bhushan + AKB@DMCG (NIC ident AKB) + + + + +Bhushan [Page 1] + +RFC 523 SURVEY is in Operation Again June 1973 + + + [ This RFC was put into machine readable form for entry ] + [ into the online RFC archives by Alex McKenzie with ] + [ support from GTE, formerly BBN Corp. 10/99 ] + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Bhushan [Page 2] + |
