Steve suggested that we put + out an RFC to alert the network community to this point. + + In RFC 66, it is proposed that an ALL allocate command be sent + immediately following an RTS or STR request for connection. This + conflicts with the restriction stated in Protocol Document 1 that an + ALL command can be given only for an "open" connection. + + To not be required to handle an ALL command before a connection is + established is a simplifying restriction that an NCP implementation + may take advantage of. For example, the Multics NCP is currently + designed this way. For this reason, and also because we believe that + the NCP protocol should not be changed now except for critical + reasons it is felt that the proposed logger protocol should be + modified to agree with the existing NCP protocol. + + + + + + + + + [ This RFC was put into machine readable form for entry ] + [ into the online RFC archives by Alison De La Cruz 11/00 ] + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Meyer [Page 1] + -- cgit v1.2.3
