                 IMP System Change Notification
                 ------------------------------


 During the week of 16 August, we installed a new version of

the IMP system, version 2505. The new version incorporated three principal changes:

 1)  The number of hosts the system can handle was increased
     from three to four. Although this caused a rather large
     internal change to the IMP, the only external effects of
     the change are the presence of a new status light [light
     8 monitors Host 4], and the lengthening of the 10-second
     and snapshot statistics.
 2)  The host handling routines were modified to gather more
     accurate and voluminous statistics on host usage of the
     network, and report them to NCC.
 3)  The 10-sec. statistics were changed to measure time for
     the host "round trip" statistic in units of 800 rather
     than 100 microseconds.
      It is not anticipated that the new system should have any
 direct effect on the hosts.
