We + needed a program that would simulate CCN, so that we could interact + with it and debug our FILENET. It occurred to me that all over the + network, people had similar problems, i.e., they couldn't debug + programs because the intended server wasn't up. And so I started to + write a third level debugger-simulater. + + With NETBUGGER3 the user can easily issue RTSs, STRs, and LISTENs, + interrogate the status of connections, receive and display NCP-USER + events and transmit and receive data over as many as twelve + connections (per copy of program running). Received data can be + displayed in ASCII, EBCDIC on HEX. The user can, of course, + originate data for transmission in the same forms. NETBUGGER3 can be + initiator, receiver and/or intermediate in connections. + + An example of how NETBUGGER3 could be of use to other hosts on the + Net follows. + + Host X has a special third level Filenet to debug. The host they + plan to interact with won't be up for several months. Host X can + arrange with us to interact with NETBUGGER3, which will simulate the + proposed third level protocol and transactions. + + An alternate possibility is for Host X to use his Telnet to enter our + system and start NETBUGGER3 himself. He can then be running + NETBUGGER3 on one console and his filenet on another. + + An alternate possibility is for Host X to use his Telnet to enter our + system and start NETBUGGER3 himself. He can then be running + NETBUGGER3 on one console and his filenet on another. + + + + + + +Kampe [Page 1] + +RFC 162 NETBUGGER3 May 1971 + + + Then, later on when the other server Host is up, NETBUGGER3 can be + used an intermediate between Host X and his serving host. Every + message from Host X to server and vice versa can be displayed, + examined and, if necessary, edited as it passes through the + NETBUGGER3 console, thus making possible the debugging and + measurements. + + This is only one example.
