+Request for Comments: 175                    E. Harslem - Rand
+NIC 7074                                     J. Heafner - Rand
+
+             Comments on "Socket Conventions Reconsidered"
+             ---------------------------------------------
+
+        We agree with the conclusions reached by Abhay, Bob, and Joel in
+   RFC #167, "Socket Conventions Reconsidered," (see RFC #129, scheme #4)
+   -- especially the necessity for a major NCP overhaul.
+
+        Our main departure in thinking from RFC #167 concerns the socket
+   length. (See RFC #164, page 21.)  Since there is an apparently serious
+   TIP storage consideration, Rand- assigned sockets will have the
+   high-order 16 bits zero.
+
+        For the particular programs (current and pending) that Rand must
+   access, repeatability of socket name (RFC #167, page 3) is not
+   necessary for the user process and also not necessary for the server
+   process except for initial contact (ICP) sockets.
+
+   Our current use of socket names is diagrammed below.
