                      NETWORK HOST STATUS

This RFC reports on the status of most Network Hosts from February 14 to February 25. On February 21 Massachusetts celebrated Washington's Birthday. During these two weeks the MIT Artificial Intelligence (MIT-AI) PDP-10, Network address 134, became a Network User.

Several Hosts are currently excluded from the daily testing. These Hosts fall into two categories:

  1) Hosts which are not expected to be functioning on the Network
  as servers (available for use from other sites) on a regular basis
  for at least two weeks.  Included here are:
  Network
  Address          Site            Computer
  -------          ----            --------
  134              MIT-AI          PDP-10
   13              Case            PDP-10
   15              Ames/(Paoli)    ILLIAC/(B6500)
  2) Hosts which are currently intended to be users only.  Included
  here are the Terminal IMP's which are presently in the Network
  (AMES, MITRE, NBS and BBN*).  This category also includes the
  Network Control Center computer (Network Address 5) which is used
  solely for gathering statistics from the Network.  Finally,
  included among these Hosts are the following:
  Network
  Address          Site            Computer
  -------          ----            --------
   7               Rand            IBM-360/65
  73               Harvard         PDP-1
  12               Illinois        PDP-11
  19               NBS             PDP-11

The tables on the next two pages summarize the Host status for this period. _____

  • The BBN Terminal IMP (Network Address 158) is a prototype and as

such is frequently not connected to the Network, but being used to refine and debug the Terminal IMP programs.

where

D = Dead (Destination Host either dead or inaccessible [due to

   network partitioning or local IMP failure] from the BBN Terminal
   IMP.)

H = 1/2 Open (Destination Host opened a connection but then either

   immediately closed it, or did not respond any further.)

O = Open (Destination Host opened a connection and was accessible to

   users.)

R = Refused (Destination Host returned a CLS to the initial RFC.)

T = Timed out (Destination Host did not complete the ICP and open a

   connection within 60 seconds.)

_____

  • The only service currently offered by the UCLA IBM-360/91 is a

Network Job Service (NETRJS), however, the BBN Terminal IMP is not equipped to test NETRJS. We are assuming that initial connection to the NETRJS logger indicates that NETRJS is also functioning.
