Watson + SRI-ARC + + The enclosed is what we hope will be accepted as a list of + official formal host names and nicknames. As no other subject + worked on by the NWG has generated so much comment, it is + worthwhile to review briefly how this list came into being. + + The need for some standard set of names recognized by NCP's and + Telnets and usable on hardcopy to designate a persons affiliation + had been recognized for some time and several sets of names were + in use. + + Peggy Karp issued the first formal proposal of a set of standard + names in RFC 226, NIC 7625. This proposal was answered by a + number of counter proposals and culminated in RFC 247, NIC 7688. + People still were not happy with this proposal as names normally + associated with hosts or projects were not used. + + At the last NWG meeting a number of people discussed the name + problem and agreed that the only reasonable compromise solution + was to have both formal names and nicknames and to let the people + at the hosts choose their own names within the guideline which the + previous dialog had seemed to agree on. + + The guidelines were summarized in RFC 273, NIC 7837 and the NIC + agreed to collect and publish the names that the people at each + host indicated they desired. A number of names were received and + a tentative list was published as RFC 280, NIC 8060. More people + responded with their desired names or changed the ones in the + above list. + + Almost all sites have since responded and the following list + resulted. + + I think people should feel free to change their host name when + ever the situation warrants. + + Formal Name Nickname Network Address + + AMES-67 16 + + AMES-ILLIAC I4 + + AMES-TIP 144 + + BBN-NCC NCC 5 + + + + [Page 1] + +NWG/RFC #289 21-DEC-71 16:29 8295 +What We Hope Is An Official List of Host Names + + BBN-TENEX BBN 69 + + BBN-TENEXB BBNB 133 + + BBN-TESTIP 158 + + BURR 15 + + BURR-TEST 79 + + CASE-10 13 + + CMU-10 14 + + ETAC-TIP 148 + + GWC-TIP 152 + + HARV-1 PDP1 73 + + HARV-10 ACL 9 + + HARV-11 137 + + ILL-ANTS ANTS 12 + + ILL-CAC CAC 76 + + LL-67 10 + + LL-TSP 138 + + LL-TX-2 TX-2 74 + + MCCL-418 22 + + MIT-AI 134 + + MIT-DMCG DMCG 70 + + MIT-MULTICS MIT-M 6 + + MITRE-TIP 145 + + NBS-CCST NBS 19 + + + + [Page 2] + +NWG/RFC #289 21-DEC-71 16:29 8295 +What We Hope Is An Official List of Host Names + + NBS-TIP 147 + + NCAR-7600 25 + + NCAR-TIP 153 + + RADC-645 18 + + RADC-TIP 146 + + RAND-CSG 71 + + RAND-RCC 7 + + SDC-ADEPT SDC 8 + + SRI-AI 66 + + SRI-ARC 2 + + SU-AI 11 + + TINK-418 21 + + UCLA-CCN CCN 65 + + UCLA-NMC SEX 1 + + UCLA-MOD75 UCSB 3 + + USC-44 23 + + USC-TIP 151 + + UTAH-10 4 + + [ This RFC was put into machine readable form for entry ] + [ into the online RFC archives by BBN Corp. under the ] + [ direction of Alex McKenzie. 12/96 ] + + + + + + + + + + [Page 3] + |
