Heafner +Request for Comments: 130 Rand +NIC 5848 22 April 1971 + + + RESPONSE TO RFC #111 (PRESSURE FROM THE CHAIRMAN) + + The purpose of RFC #111, as I interpret it, is two-fold: 1) To + establish realistic implementation schedules and to make them known + to the Network community so as to expedite everyone's planning of + productive use of Network Services. 2) To uncover implementation + techniques and strategies that were most successful and might be + useful in future implementations. + + RFC #111 asks for implementation schedules. I have not "prodded" + host teams yet because an integral part of those schedules includes + TELNET for which no specification is known to everyone. Tom + O'Sullivan, Raytheon (TELNET Chairman) and John Melvin, SRI (TELNET + Committee Member) advise me that a TELNET RFC will be generated soon. + I will subsequently contact site liaisons concerning a schedule. + + I will talk with Alex McKenzie, BBN about the form of publication of + these schedules. Alex and I agree that they should be published as + an RFC updating NIC Memo #5767 (ARPA Network Site Status). I will + collect and compile the information via phone, mail or NIC and send + it to Alex for technical editing and subsequent NIC RFC publication. + + Alex informed me that the forthcoming Resource Notebook (see NIC + #5760) includes much of the information on use of services, obtaining + job numbers, etc. RFC #111 schedules will be an update of NIC #5767 + and may reference, but will not duplicate, the Resource Notebook. + + One begins to wonder why I'm in this loop since Alex has the + responsibility to periodically update NIC #5767. The reason, as RFC + #111 states, is that Rand will assist in testing implementations + remotely. To facilitate testing, I would like first-hand information + on schedules and comments on how we might be of service in this + respect. Testing will be short-term and will not go beyond what is + included in RFC #111. I will contact site liaisons shortly to find + out if and how we can be of assistance in this capacity. + + Please feel free to contact either me or Eric Harslem regarding this + RFC or RFC #111. + + + [ This RFC was put into machine readable form for entry] + [into the online RFC archives by Alison M.
