                      NETWORK HOST STATUS

This RFC reports on the status of most Network Hosts from May 8 to May 19. No testing was done on May 15 due to the attempt to install the new IMP system on that day.

During this interval the PDP-10 of the MIT Artificial Intelligence Group (Network address 134) and the PDP-10 at Stanford (Network address 11) each became Network Servers.

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.  The only
        Host in this category is the PDP-10 at Case (Network
        address 13).
    2)  Hosts which are currently intended to be users only.
        Included here are the Terminal IMPs, which are presently
        in the Network (AMES, MITRE, NBS, ETAC, USC, GWC, 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
          23                USC                     IBM-360/44

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.)

F = Full (Destination Host opened a connection, informed user that all

Network ports were in use, and immediately closed the connection.)

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 with 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.
  1. These sites advertise that they may not have their system available
  at these times.
