<span class="h1">Protocol Information</span>
This file contains information on the various protocols in the ARPA
Network. An effort will be made to keep the information current, but
this depends on the cooperation of the users of this file to convey
any information about protocol developments, or corrections to this
information to Jon Postel at SRI-ARC.
This is a compendium of all the protocol related activity and most of
this activity is with experimental protocols, for those protocols,
which are official standards the designation "[Official]" will be
appended to the name.
Much of the documentation of protocols appears as Requests for
Comments (RFCs) and many of these are available online. When a
document is accessible online, a pointer to that source will be
given. Also note that recent RFCs are online at Office-1 in
directory <NETINFO> with names of the form RFCnnn.TXT where nnn is
replaced by the RFC number.
This file is online as:

Recent developments:
The "link number" filed has been extended from 8 to 12 bits
and renamed the "message identification" field. Message
type 6 now is used to indicate a reason for a type 7
(destination dead) message. (See BBN1822).
There has been some recent changes to the Ready line
interpretation by the IMP for deciding the alive/dead status
of a host.
Important changes to the IMP and IMP/HOST interface

Some experiments now running. Implementation of full protocol
to begin by 15-Oct-74.
Recent developments:
Specification completed August 4th, but some work still in
progress on handling of single message conversations. A new
sequencing scheme (proposed by Tomlinson) may be utilized. The
addressing field is now used as 4-bit format, 4-bit network, 16
bit TCP, and 24 bit process&port. Crocker has suggested a 64-
bit path address to be parsed and reformatted by the gateways
along the route. There is reluctance to experiment with too
many things at one though.
(28-Oct-74) A file indicating some of the changes in the
specifications since the 4-Aug-74 document is now available as
[<a href="#ref-ISI">ISI</a>] <CERF> TCP-CHANGES. The areas of change are "Initial
Sequence Number", "Socket definition", "Additional user System
Calls", "Packet format", and "Discussion of opening and closing

(23-NOV-74) Specifications for test implementation are now said
to be ready on 1-DEC-74, and an implementation completed by 1-
FEB-74.

Recent developments:
A significant number of server systems now have new
telnet implementations. (See <a href="./rfc702">RFC 702</a>).
Note: the server program is to be available on socket
23 decimal (27 octal).
The Status Option has been revised to take advantage of
the subcommand feature and to reduce the amount of data
transmitted to report the option status.
Seven new options have been defined to allow control of
the format effectors Carriage Return, Line Feed, Form
Feed, Horizontal Tab, and Vertical Tab.

NATIONAL SOFTWARE WORKS
The National Software Works is developing a set of protocols for its
use of the ARPA Network, other uses of these protocols is encouraged.
The procedure call protocol is intended to facilitate the sharing of
resources in the network at the subroutine level. The procedure call
protocol will be used to split nls into a front end and back end
components. Procedure call protocol is also to be used in the nsw as
the basis for communication between the works manager, the tool
bearing hosts, and front desk procedure packages.
The documents cited below give a view of the Procedure Call Protocol
and its use.
Contact:
Jim White (WHITE@SRI-ARC)
Jon Postel (POSTEL@SIR-ARC)
Documents:
These documents are the second published version of the
Procedure Call Protocol and NSW protocol - PCP/NSW Version 2.
Version 2 is SUBSTANTIALLY different than Version 1; it and all
intermediate, informally distributed PCP/NSW documents are
obsoleted by this release.
The first document, PCP, is the place the interested ready
should start. It gives the required motivation for the use
Protocol and states the substance of the Protocol proper. The
ready may then, if he chooses, read the next three documents:
PIP, PSP, and PMP. The latter has the most to offer the casual
reader; the programmer faced with coding in the PCP environment
should ready all three. The next three documents - PCPFMT,

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc661">RFC 661</a> November 1974</span>
PCPHST, and PCPFRK - are of interest only to the PCP
implementer. The next document - HOST - is a preliminary
thought about how the NSW might use the standard HOST-HOST
protocol NCP. The last four documents - EXEC, FILE, BATCH, and
LLDBUG - describe procedure packages needed to carry out NSW
functions, but such packages may well be useful in other
contexts.
Version 2 consists of the following documents. Each is
available online in two forms: as an NLS file and as a
formatted text file. The journal number (e.g., 24459) refers
to the former, of course and the pathname (e.g., [SRI-ARI]
<NLS> PCP.TXT) to the latter, accessible via FTP using
USER=ANONYMOUS and PASSWORD=GUEST (no account required).
Hardcopy is being forwarded by US Mail to all those who have
expressed an interest in PCP. If you don't receive a copy and
would like one of this and/or future releases, send a note to
