NIC #10595 12 June 1972
Categories: F, G.3

NETWORK HOST STATUS
This RFC reports on the status of most Network Hosts from May 22 to
June 2.
No testing was done on Memorial Day, which Massachusetts celebrated
on May 29. No testing was done on May 31 and June 1 due to an
attempt to install the new IMP system.
Three new terminal IMPs were installed during this interval. On June
1, Terminal IMP #155 was installed at Fort Belvoir in Fairfax,
Virginia; on June 3, Terminal IMP #154 was installed at SAAC (Seismic
Array Analysis Center) in Alexandria, Virginia; and on June 5,
Terminal IMP #153 was installed at NOAA (National Oceanic Analysis
Agency) in Boulder, Colorado.
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, NOAA, SAAC, BELVOIR, and
BBN*). This category also includes the Network Control Center
___________
*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.

statistics from the Network. Finally, included among these Hosts are
the following:

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 opened a connection and was accessible to us.
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.
#These sites advertise that they may not have their system available at
these times.
