Network Working Group R. Metcalfe

Request for Comments: 220 Project MAC

NIC: 7621 12 September 1971

As described in RFC's #207 and #212, the next meeting of the ARPA

Computer Network Working Group (NWG) will be held at MIT Project MAC

in Cambridge, Massachusetts, October 10-14, 1971.

The first phase of the NWG meeting is to be a workshop for a

representative group of system programmers from those sites with

operational TELNET interfaces. From noon, Sunday, October 10, until

sometime late Monday evening, teams of workshop participants will hit

the ARPA network from MAC consoles in an intensive effort to study

its operational characteristics and to work on any remaining trouble

spots in protocols and their implementations.

Although the NWG meeting is geared for heavy attendance, our

facilities and objectives make it important that no more than a dozen

system programmers be present for the grueling workshop sessions

planned. These system programmers should be from sites with

operational TELNET interfaces (user and/or server) and should have a

working knowledge of protocols, their own NCP's, and TELNET

implementations. Sites wishing to send a system programmer should

leave his name and address with Anne Speare at (617) 864-6900 x1458.

In preparation for the workshop, we are working on documentation

describing our user TELNET and a site-use scenario booklet to be used

at the workshop in exercising various systems. It is our intention

to establish a pattern of routine usage with as many sites as

possible prior to the workshop. In developing the site-use scenario

booklet, we will be looking for advice and comment from participating

hosts.

Because the use of computers with operational network protocols is

central to the sUCcess of the workshop, we are working hard to bring

our developing system into a period of stability and are making

special arrangements for on-site hardware repair personnel. To the

extent that participating sites can make similar preparations, the

chances for a successful workshop will be improved.

We are hoping that knowledgeable network people will be on call at

the various sites during the workshop so that there will be some hope

of fixing minor implementation problems on the fly.

We will begin the workshop at noon on Sunday, October 10 with a brief

strategy meeting in Project MAC's second floor conference room, #217,

545 Technology Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Our first mission

will be to establish and exercise all possible TELNET connections

with MAC's PDP-10 (Host 70.). When this first check-off is complete,

we will meet again to discuss difficulties and to regroup for our

second mission. By appropriately nesting TELNET's, we will pair up

to systematically fill in the matrix of possible TELNET connections.

During the workshop we eXPect to be finding and fixing implementation

problems, discussing protocol, and getting an extremely valuable

introduction to the use of a wide variety of hosts. Our experience

in the workshop will be an important input to the NWG sessions to

follow. In particular, we are to generate specific reports for the

protocol review and status sessions.

See you then.
