DoD NETWORK NEWSLETTER
=====================================================================
TOPICS: - TIP Inventory Reports Needed ASAP
- NIC Host Name Servers are now up
- Call for Papers ACM SIGCOMM '83
---------------------------------------------------------------------
TIP/TAC INVENTORY REPORTS ARE NEEDED NOW, PLEASE
There are a number of TIP/TAC inventory reports which are overdue.
Those TIP/TAC Liaison who have not yet submitted their input should do
so immediately.
===> NOTE: Send reports online to TACSTATRPT@BBNB <===
Do NOT send them to the NIC
The new procedures for submitting TIP/TAC Inventory Reports was outlined
in ANEWS-11 for those of you that are new or missed reading it.
NIC HOST NAME SERVERS AND TCP/IP NOW AVAILABLE
TCP/IP is now supported by the SRI-NIC AUGUST(TENEX) monitor, and TCP
Telnet can be used to access NIC services online.
The first version of the DoD internet Hostnames Service is now available
from the ARPANET/DDN Network Information Center machine, SRI-NIC, via
NCP, TCP, or UDP. The NCP and TCP versions meet or exceed the
specifications outlined in RFC 810 and 811 (cpu type has been added).
The UDP version meets the basic IEN 116 specification, and is a simple
binary query/response name/address service.
We request (with some trepidation) that you try the servers and send
additional information and feedback to NIC@NIC. The NIC will maintain
the old-format (Host#/IMP#) host table for a period of 2 months. The
old table now has the pathname [SRI-NIC]<NETINFO>OHOSTS.TXT. The
new-format table is in the file [SRI-NIC]<NETINFO>HOSTS.TXT and also in
<NETINFO>NHOSTS.TXT. We continue to depend on all of you to provide the
NIC with information on ARPANET/DDN hosts and other pertinent hosts,
nets, and gateways, while work progresses toward development of name
domains.
The SRI staff involved were: Ken Harrenstien - protocols, servers, and
UDP; Mary Dyer - host table; Henry Miller - TCP/IP; Geoff Goodfellow,
Jim Mathis, Holly Nelson, Zaw-Sing Su, and Bill Westfield also
contributed.
This work was funded by DCA and was a joint effort of the SRI Network
Information Center (NIC), the DARPA Internet Working Group, the Network
Liaison, the BBN Network Operations Center (NCC), and the Defense
Communications Engineering Center (DCEC). Jon Postel of USC-ISI, Deputy
Director of the DARPA Internet User's Group and Internet Configuration
Control Board, consulted with the NIC on the protocols and helped edit
the gateway and network names and numbers. ISI, DCEC, and BBN helped
with TCP/IP testing. The Network Liaison provided the host information,
as did many others representing 'foreign' nets. Thanks to all.
ACM SIGCOMM '83 SYMPOSIUM ON COMMUNICATIONS ARCHITECTURES AND PROTOCOLS
