Standardization of Host Call Letters
------------------------------------
We agree with Peggy Karp (See RFC#226) that there would be some
benefit in standardizing the symbolic host names used in TELNET
programs. It should be recognized that there is a trade-off
between brevity and mnemonicism. It is our feeling that a good
set of host call letters can be developed using only four
characters (see Jim White's in RFC#206.) Each host should
suggest its own call letters. Upper and lower case letters
should be used interchangeably. The following is our currently
recommended list:
Host Number Name-4 Name-8
----------- ------ ------
1 sex sex-UCla
65 ccn ccn-ucla
2 nic nic-sri
66 srai sri-ai
