This time we got to debug the new IMP system and found a +number of problems which precluded leaving the new system up. + + Trying again June 6, we got the new IMP system up and working +quite well, but the version of the TIP system which runs with the new +IMP system wouldn't work hardly at all. So we put the old systems +back up again. + + The day before yesterday, June 20, we tried again. The IMPs and +TIPs loaded and seemed to fly quite well, so we left the new systems +up. But by yesterday, June 21, afternoon, with crashes happening in +TIPs at the rate of about one per hour, we backed off again and put +the old systems back up. (One TIP crash per hour in the network means +there is about one crash every eight or ten hours debugging with one +TIP which makes it nasty to debug.) + + We plan to skip Tuesday, June 27, and Tuesday, July 4, and to try +again Thursday, July 6 (1972), and if necessary, again on Tuesday, +July 18, and following Tuesdays, as per RFC #343. + +DCW/jm + + [ This RFC was put into machine readable form for entry ] + [ into the online RFC archives by BBN Corp. under the ] + [ direction of Alex McKenzie. 1/97 ] + + + + + + [Page 1] + |
