INTRODUCTION
This is a guide to implementations and products associated with
the Department of Defense (DoD) Defense Data Network (DDN) TCP/IP
protocols. It is published for informational purposes only by the DDN
Network Information Center (NIC) at SRI International on behalf of the
Defense Data Network Program Management Office (DDN PMO) and in no way
endorses or officially recommends any implementation or product on the
part of the Defense Communications Agency (DCA), the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the NIC or DoD. It is not complete.
Omission of any vendor or implementor has no significant implication,
other than that the NIC has no information about that vendor or
implementor, or that the information was not available at the time of
this printing. Likewise, only completed fields of the product templates
are included, and unfilled fields have been deleted to conserve space.
Anyone planning to use either a product or an implementation is urged to
do their own investigation of the details, costs, and support of the
product.
This guide is divided into software implementations (listed
alphabetically by machine type) and hardware implementations (listed
alphabetically by company). The guide is also indexed by operating
system, with the machine type listed under each and by company name.
Vendors who wish to have their TCP/IP products tested and
certified for use on the DDN should contact Code B617, the Test and
Evaluation Branch of the DDN PMO for details.
Throughout the document, references are made to RFCs and IENs.
RFCs, or Requests for Comments, are network technical notes used
primarily to introduce proposed internet protocols and related network
topics to the DDN. IENs, or Internet Experiment Notes, are Internet
Working Group technical notes. Both RFCs and IENs are available on the
SRI-NIC host. You may obtain copies of either by using the FTP
facility, if it is available at your host. Connect to the SRI-NIC host
[10.0.0.51 or 26.0.0.73] and log in as ANONYMOUS with GUEST as password.
RFC filenames are of the format RFC:RFCxxx.TXT (where xxx is the number
of the RFC) and IENs are of the format IEN:IEN-xxx.TXT (where xxx is the
number of the IEN -- note the dash in the IEN filename.)
Online copies of the guide are available through FTP in the file
named NETINFO:TCP-IP-IMPLEMENTATIONS.TXT. For those who are not on the
network, contact the DDN Network Information Center to request copies of
RFCs, IENs or this guide by calling our toll-free number 1-800-235-3155.

1. TCP/IP SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATIONS BY MACHINE TYPE
1.1. APPLE
1.1.1. v STANFORD ETHERNET APPLETALK GATEWAY
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: STANFORD ETHERNET APPLETALK GATEWAY
(SEAGATE)
TYPE: Gateway
DESCRIPTION:
SEAGATE is a gateway (Apple term: bridge) that connects an
Ethernet using the internet protocols, to an applebus
(AppleTalk) using Apple or IP protocols. The IP protocol family
was chosen because many campuses and engineering groups are
using it on their Ethernets; most such groups have access to
Berkeley UNIX. With such a gateway in place, it becomes
possible to create UNIX server daemons to provide file,
printing, mail, etc. services for the Macintoshes.
In addition, it would be possible for the UNIX systems to
become integrated into a Macintosh Office such that UNIX users
could access Apple-provided services such as printing on a
LaserWriter or sending mail to Macintosh users via an Apple file
server.
This distribution of SEAGATE provides all the information and
software you should need to setup your own gateway. Please bear
in mind that this distribution is not 'supported' and that we
can't give extensive help about the mechanics of putting your
gateway together. I would like to hear about bug reports or
enhancements however.
To assemble your own gateway, you will need at least the
items below:
- The hardware is a 3 card multibus system: A 'SUN' 68000
CPU board, an Interlan NI3210 Ethernet card, and a
homebrew applebus card (about 8 chips) which takes an
afternoon to wirewrap.
- A UNIX (usually VAX) running 4.2 BSD, 4.1 BSD or Eunice.
This is because the source distributed is written in the
PCC/MIT 68000 C compiler. [This is the same compiler
included with the SUMACC Mac C cross development kit.]
You can probably make due with any 68K C compiler and
assembler, but it will be harder.
- Inside Mac, update service, and the Mac software
3
supplement.
- Applebus Developer's Kit, includes: protocol manual,
applebus taps and interconnecting cable, Mac applebus
drivers on SONY disks.
- Dartmouth's IP package from Mark Sherman
(mss%dartmouth@CSNET-relay). The gateway distribution
includes the binary for TFTP, but if you want the whole
package (and source), you should get it from Mark.
- A Lisa Workshop system is handy to have around; you would
need it to compile Mark's sources. Even if you are doing
development in C, Apple releases Applebus updates as a
combination of Mac and Lisa disks. The Mac disks contain
the 'driver' binary resources. The Lisa disks contain
source for header files.
The current software on the Macintosh is the IP TFTP program.
As mentioned above, the gateway also has the capability to
translate Apple DDP datagrams into IP UDP datagrams, and vice
versa. We are now writing some UNIX (user-level) UDP daemons
that directly provide AppleTalk ATP services (such as external
file system access.)
Using Mark Sherman's (Dartmouth) TFTP and the Berkeley 4.2
BSD TFTP daemon, we made some simple timings. On the Mac side,
TFTP used a ramdisk to avoid any delays induced by the slow SONY
drive. For a UNIX to Mac transfer, we found that the Mac took
43 ms between data received and ack sent, while UNIX spent 25 ms
between ack received and next data sent.
Most of the transfer occurred at 512 data bytes every 70ms =
7314 bytes/sec = 58K baud.
Note however that the IP TFTP protocol is just that, a
'trivial' FTP. It is purely half-duplex in nature. When we
start using Apple's ATP, which can stream several packets per
acknowledgement, it should boost throughput significantly.
Gursharan Sidhu tells me that their process-to-process (no
disks) ATP throughput is 180K baud (out of the 230K available on
the cable). This is very good, considering many TCP's running
on 10 megabit Ethernet are lucky to get a few hundred kilobits
of throughput.
DOCUMENTATION:
On [SUMEX]<info-mac> the files are:
seagate.ms documentation in -ms format
seagate.hard the wirelist for the applebus interface
seagate.shar1 the main gateway sources (including above docs)

seagate.shar2 the ddt, dlq, testscc, and tftp subdirectories
All these files are plain ASCII and can be FTP'd from SUMEX
with the 'anonymous' login. The two shar (shell archive) files
are each about 170K bytes, so we would appreciate it if you
would avoid transfers during 9 AM to 5 PM PST.

1.2. BOLT, BERANEK AND NEWMAN
1.2.1. BBN-C/70
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: BBN-C/70
TYPE: TCP/IP Implementation
DESCRIPTION:
The C/70 processor is a BBN-designed system with a native
instruction set oriented toward executing the C language. It
supports UNIX Version 7 and provides for user processes with a
20-bit address space. The TCP/IP implementation for the C/70
was ported from the BBN VAX TCP/IP, and shares all of its
features. This version of TCP/IP is running experimentally at
BBN, but is still under development. Performance tuning is
underway, to make it more compatible with the C/70's memory
management system.

1.2.2. BBN-GATEWAYS
TYPE: TCP/IP Implementation
DESCRIPTION:
In an effort to provide improved service in the gateways
maintained at BBN, a new gateway implementation written in
MACRO-11 instead of BCPL has been developed. The MACRO-11
gateway provides users with internet service that is
functionally equivalent to that provided by the current BCPL
gateways with the following exceptions:
- Packets with options will be fragmented if necessary.
- ICMP protocol is supported.
- The gateway sends Time Exceeded, Parameter Problem, Echo,
Information Request, Destination Unreachable, and Redirect
ICMP messages.
- Initially, Source Quench and Timestamp packets will not be
supported.
- Class A, B, and C Network Address formats as specified in
the September 1981 Internet Protocol Specification
(RFC791) are supported.
The gateway contains an internetwork debugger (XNET) that
allows the gateway to be examined while it is running. Buffer
space is greatly expanded to provide better throughput. ARPANET
RFNMs are counted so the gateway will not send more than 8
outstanding messages to an ARPANET host.

1.3.2. [BURROUGHS/HYPERLINK]
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: Hyperlink/DDN Software
TYPE: TCP/IP/X.25 Implementation
DESCRIPTION:
Hyperlink/DDN is being implemented in accordance with the
ARPANET Upper Layer Protocols (presentation/application layers),
Transmission Control Protocol (session/transport layers), and
Internet Protocol (network layer functions for internetwork
communications). The software includes the host driver (either
with Ethernet or Hyperchannel connections), transmission control
protocol, internet protocol, network administrator and
application software. Applications include file transfer,
electronic mail and Telnet.
Hyperlink/DDN integrates ARPANET's packet switching protocol
standards with Internet Systems Corporation's proprietary
Ethernet-based hardware connection devices or with Network
Systems Corporation's HYPERchannel connection devices for
complete connections between LANs and/or long-haul networks. A
product option is available which provides an LSI 11/73 based
host front-end processor which will contain the TCP and IP
layers and an X.25 communications subsystem. Internet also
offers high speed local-area network solutions for non-DDN
requirements which can be integrated with DDN offerings.

1.7. DIGITAL EQUIPMENT CORPORATION
1.7.1. BRL GATEWAY
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: BRL Gateway
TYPE: TCP/IP Implementation
DESCRIPTION:
The BRL Gateway is a total redesign. None of the original
MIT code was used. The gateway runs as a set of tasks on a
simple multiprocessing operating system called LOS. Both LOS
and the gateway code as described here were entirely designed
and written by Ron Natalie.
This is an IP gateway with EGP support. The gateway will run
on most PDP-11 series processors, but is designed to be portable
to other machines that have C compilers. Point-to-point serial
links, DEC PCL-11/B, and the ACC LH-DH/11 interfaces are
currently supported. Work is in process to support the Interlan
Ethernet interfaces with the Address Resolution Protocol, the
Network Systems Corporations's HYPERchannel, and the Proteon
Ringnet hardware.
All gateway functions and features of the IP and ICMP
protocols are supported with the following exceptions. The ICMP
timestamp packet is not implemented and ICMP source quench
messages are ignored. IP timestamp and routing options are
supported. The Exterior Gateway Protocol is supported as
described in RFC904. Deviations from the specification are made
to optimize the performance as a stub system from the existing
core networks. The gateway also uses its own UDP based debug
and monitoring protocol. GGP echo packets are also answered.
In addition, the gateway provides Virtual-Host service. TCP
connections to be dynamically directed to an active host on the
BRLNET. This allows the host "BRL" to appear to always be up
for mail purposes.
The original BRL gateway was an early version of the MIT-C
gateway modified to know about class B and C addresses and to
work with the previously mentioned network interfaces. With the
advent of EGP, higher network traffic, and greater routing
intelligence, the modified MIT gateway became ineffective.

Any PDP-11 processor that has memory management. The
machines currently in use are a PDP-11/34 and LSI-11/23. A
console terminal interface and a clock are required, as well as
any network interfaces. The built-in line frequency clock on
the LSI-11 processors may be used in lieu of an additional
clock.
O/S:
LOS (the Little Operating System) is a small message-passing,
multitasking operating system written for the implementation of
the gateway, but is also being planned for use in real-time and
file server applications. The Gateway code runs in the hardware
user mode, while LOS itself runs in kernel mode. Interrupts are
serviced in real-time by the user code.
IMPLEMENTATION-LANGUAGE:
With the exception of small parts of the operating system and
some bit manipulation routines, which are written in assembler,
both LOS and the Gateway code are written in the C language.

1.7.2. SRI-LSI-11
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: SRI-LSI-11
TYPE: TCP/IP Implementation
DESCRIPTION:
The IP/TCP implementation for the Packet Radio terminal
interface unit is intended to run on an LSI-11 under the MOS
real-time operating system. The TCP is written in MACRO-11
assembler language. The IP is currently written in assembler
language; but being converted into C. There are no plans to
convert the TCP from assembler into C.
TCP implements the full specification, although the current
user interface lacks a mechanism to communicate URGENT pointer
information between the TCP and the higher-level software. The
code for rubber-EOL has been removed in anticipation of a change
to the specification. The TCP appears to be functionally
compatible with all other major implementations. In particular,
it is used on a daily basis to provide communications between
users on the Ft. Bragg PRNET and ISID on the DDN. The IP
implementation is reasonably complete, providing fragmentation
and reassembly; routing to the first gateway; and a complete
host-side GGP process. Currently the source quench message is
ignored. No IP options are generated and all received options
are ignored.
A measurement collection mechanism is currently under
development to collect TCP and IP statistics and deliver them to
a measurement host for data reduction.

1.7.3. LSI-11/PDP11/LINKABIT
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: LINKABIT-DCNET-FUZZBALL
TYPE: TCP/IP Implementation
DESCRIPTION:
The DCNET internet software system has been developed with
DARPA sponsorship over the last three years and used extensively
for testing, evaluation and experimentation with other
implementations. It currently runs in a sizable number of
PDP11s and LSI-11s with varying configurations and applications.
The system is designed to be used with the DCNET local network
and BOS/VOS operating system for a multi-media internet
workstation (so-called "fuzzball"), which operates using
emulation techniques to support ordinary RT-11 system and
application programs. However, the system has also been used on
other networks, including the DDN, and with other operating
systems, including RSX-11. An RSX-11 based version
incorporating only IP/TCP modules is presently used to support
the INTELPOST electronic-mail network.
The software system consists of a package of MACRO-11 and C
modules structured into levels corresponding to local-net, IP,
TCP and application levels, with user interfaces at each level.
The local-net level supports several communication devices,
including synchronous and asynchronous serial lines, 16-bit
parallel links and 1822 interfaces. Hosts using these devices
have been connected to DDN IMPs, Satellite IMPs, MACRO-11
Internet Gateways, SRI Port Expanders and to the DCNET local
network. When used on DCNET the system provides automatic
routing, time-synchronization and error-reporting functions.
The IP level conforms to the RFC791 specification, including
fragmentation, reassembly, extended addressing and options, but
currently does not interpret options. A full set of ICMP
features compatible with RFC792 is available, including
destination-unreachable, timestamp, redirect and source-quench
messages. Destination-unreachable and source-quench information
is conveyed to the user level via the TCP and raw-datagram
protocol modules. Internet gateway (routing and non-routing)
facilities compatible with RFC823 can be included on an optional
basis. This support can be configured to include hierarchically
structured gateways and subnets.
The TCP level conforms to the RFC793 specification, including
PUSH, URGENT and options. Its structure is based on circular
buffers for reassembly and retransmission, with repacketizing on
each retransmission. Retransmission timeouts are dynamically
determined using measured roundtrip delays, as adjusted for
backoff. Data flow into the network is controlled by measured
network bandwidth, as adjusted by source-quench information.
Features are included to avoid excessive segment fragmentation
17
and retransmission into zero windows. The user interface level
provides error and URGENT notification, as well as a means to
set outgoing IP/TCP options.
A raw-datagram interface is available for non-TCP protocols
such as (RFC768). It includes internal congestion and fairness
controls, multiple-connection management and timestamping.
Protocols above UDP supported in the present system include Time
Server (IEN-142) and Name Server (IEN-116). Other raw-datagram
services include XNET (IEN-158), GGP Gateway (RFC823), along
with developmental versions of an EGP Gateway (RFC827) and a
DECnet Gateway. A number of user-level protocol modules above
TCP have been built and tested with other internet hosts,
including user/server Telnet (RFC764) user/server FTP (RFC765),
user/server SMTP (RFC788) and various other file-transfer,
debugging and control/monitoring protocols.
Code sizes and speeds depend greatly on the system
configuration and features selected. A typical 30K-word
LSI-11/2 single-user configuration with all features selected
and including the operating system, device drivers and all
buffers and control blocks, leaves about 16K words for
user-level application programs and protocol modules. A typical
124K-word LSI-11/23 configuration provides the same service to a
half-dozen individually relocated users. Disk-to-disk FTP
transfers across a DMA interprocessor link between LSI-11/23s
operate in the range 30-50 Kbps with 576-octet packets. The
124K-word PDP11/34 INTELPOST adaptation supports two 56-Kbps
lines and a number of lower-speed lines.

1.7.5. UNIX 2.9BSD
TYPE: TCP/IP Implementation
DESCRIPTION:
2.9BSD TCP/IP is an adaptation of Berkeley's original VAX
TCP/IP (running under BSD 4.1B UNIX) which in turn is an
offshoot of BBN's VAX TCP/IP. 2.9BSD TCP/IP runs on PDP-11/44s
and PDP-11/70s. The 2.8 version from SRI was adapted by Bill
Croft (formerly at SRI), then Tektronix adapted it for 2.9.
Berkeley took over modification of the software and brought it
back to SRI where Dan Chernikoff and Greg Satz adapted it for a
later release of 2.9. In addition to TCP/IP, UDP, ARP and the
raw packet interface is available. ICMP redirects are not
supported. User software implementations include Telnet and
FTP, plus Berkeley-developed local net protocols, RWHO, RSH,
RLOGIN, and RCP.
2.9BSD with TCP/IP support could probably be made to run on
smaller PDP-11s although the address space would be very tight
and might present problems.

1.7.6. Venix/11 TCP/IP
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: Venix/11 TCP/IP
DESCRIPTION:
This is based on the "PDP-11/45" implementation available
from the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science. It has been
ported to a V7 UNIX system, in particular VenturCom's Venix/11
V2.0.
As little of the processing as possible takes place in the
kernel, to minimize the code space required. It fits
comfortably on I&D machines, but is almost hopeless on the
smaller machines. The kernel includes a proNET device driver,
IP fragment reassembly, IP header processing, local-net header
processing, and simple routing. The rest of the IP processing,
and all of the UDP and TCP functions, are in user libraries.
The psuedo-teletype driver is also in the kernel, and is used by
Server TELNET.
User programs handle ICMP processing; User and Server TELNET,
SMTP, TFTP, Finger, and Discard. There are User programs for
Nicname and Hostname. IEN-116 nameservers are used by all
programs, and an IEN-116 nameserver is also provided. The TCP
used is very simple, not very fast, and lies about windows. No
FTP is available, nor is one currently planned.
DOCUMENTATION:
There is a full set of manual pages, and some internals
documentation. The kernel code is well commented.
CPU:

(10 Mb/s token-passing ringnet), to transmit and receive
internet packets, to demultiplex incoming TCP and UDP packets,
to reassemble internet fragments, and to maintain a cache of
internet hosts and their best first hop gateways. Kernel code
and data use from 9k to 10.5k bytes depending on the size of the
receive packets buffer.
Outside the kernel we have: TCP, user and server Telnet,
SMTP, ICMP, and TFTP. All are running but are in varying stages
of development.

1.7.8. BBN-V6-UNIX
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: EDN-V6-UNIX
TYPE: TCP/IP/ICMP implementation
DESCRIPTION:
This TCP/IP/ICMP implementation runs as a user process in
version 6 UNIX, with modifications obtained from BBN for network
access. IP reassembles fragments into datagrams, but has no
separate IP user interface. TCP supports user and server
Telnet, echo, discard, internet SMTP mail, and FTP. ICMP
generates replies to Echo Requests, and sends Source-Quench when
reassembly buffers are full.
1. Hardware - PDP-11/70 and PDP-11/45 running UNIX version
6, with BBN IPC additions.
2. Software - written in C, requiring 25K instruction space,
20K data space. Supports 10 connections (including
"listeners").
3. Unimplemented protocol features:
- TCP - Discards out-of-order segments.
- IP - Does not handle some options and ICMP messages.

1.7.9. v 3COM-UNET
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: UNET
TYPE: TCP/IP Implementation
DESCRIPTION:
UNET is a communication software package which enables UNIX
systems to communicate using TCP/IP protocols. UNET will
utilize any physical communications media, from low speed links
such as twisted pair RS-232C to high speed coaxial links such as
Ethernet. All layers of the UNET package are directly available
to the user. The highest layer provides user programs
implementing ARPA standard File Transfer Protocol (UFTP),
Virtual Terminal Protocol (UVTP), and Mail Transfer Protocols
(UMTP). These programs in turn utilize the virtual circuit
services of the TCP. The TCP protocol is implemented on top of
the IP. Finally, IP can simultaneously interface to multiple
local networks. UNET implements 5 of the 7 layers of the
International Standards Organization Open Systems
Interconnection Reference Model, layers 2 through 6: Link,
Network, Transport, Session, and Presentation. Features of TCP
6 not yet implemented are Precedence and Security,
End-of-Letter, and Urgent. Feature of IP 4 not yet implemented
is Options.

1.7.12. BBN-VAX-UNIX
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: BBN-VAX-UNIX
TYPE: TCP/IP Implementation
DESCRIPTION:
BBN has developed an implementation of TCP/IP for DEC's
VAX(TM) family of processors, that runs under the Berkeley
4.1BSD version of UNIX(TM). The development effort was funded
by DARPA. Some important features of the BBN VAX TCP/IP are that
it runs in the UNIX kernel for enhanced performance, it is a
complete implementation of the TCP and IP protocols, and
provides facilities for direct user access to the IP and
underlying network protocols. The IP module supports checksums,
option interpretation, fragmentation and reassembly, extended
internet address support, gateway communication with ICMP, and
support of multi-homing (multiple interfaces and addresses on
the same or different networks). The TCP supports checksums,
sequencing, the ability to pass options through to the IP level,
and advanced windowing and adaptive retransmission algorithms.
Support is also provided for the User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
In addition to the TCP/IP software for the VAX, BBN has
developed implementations of the Telnet Virtual Terminal
Protocol, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), and Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol (SMTP), for use with TCP. These protocols are operated
as user level programs. Also provided are network programming
support tools, such as network name/address manipulation
libraries, status, tracing, and debugging tools.
The TCP/IP and higher level protocol software are now
available direct from BBN. The software is distributed on a
1600 bpi tar format tape, containing the sources and binaries
for a 4.1BSD UNIX kernel containing the network modifications
and the sources and binaries for the higher level protocols and
support software. Documentation is provided in the form of a
set of UNIX manual pages for the network access device, user
programs, and libraries. In addition, a detailed installation
document is provided. Device drivers are supplied for the ACC
LH-DH/11 IMP interface, the Proteon Associates PRONET Local
Network Interface, the ACC IF-11 IMP interface, and the Interlan
10MB Ethernet interface.

1.7.23. BBN-TOPS-20
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: BBN-TOPS-20
TYPE: TCP/IP Implementation
DESCRIPTION:
The TOPS20 Internetworking software supports multiple
networks, multiple interfaces on a single network, and multiple
protocol suites. Included in the standard distribution are an
interface to 1822 nets via an AN20, an interface to a network
front-end via a DTE20, and the DARPA protocol suite (DEC is
developing an Ethernet interface).
The DARPA IP, ICMP, TCP, Server TELNET protocols are included
within the TOPS20 monitor; other protocols are implemented as
user application processes. The IP module supports a routing
cache maintained via ICMP redirect NET and HOST messages. It
performs fragmentation and reassembly, implements all options
and can forward traffic between any of the host's interfaces.
Applications may interface to the IP layer using User Queues.
All ICMP messages are supported; error messages may be sent
by any of the protocol layers; higher layers are notified when a
message is received concerning one of their packets. Messages
can be sent by applications using the User Queue facility.
Applications can interface to TCP either as a read/write file
or via multiple buffers. The TCP layer supports IP routing
options, ICMP destination unreachable, source quench, and
redirects which specify a type-of-service, and the segment size
option. Support for preemption, precedence, and security
options is delegated to the application. Telnet supports
options and subnegotiations.
There is extensive inter-layer flow control, error reporting,
and monitoring. Utilities are available to provide information,
list monitoring data, and perform diagnostics.
DEC has distributed a prior version of this implementation as
part of its standard TOPS20-AN monitor; the current version is
currently being transferred to DEC.

1.11. HEWLETT PACKARD
1.11.1. BBN-HP-3000
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: BBN-HP-3000
TYPE: TCP/IP Implementation
DESCRIPTION:
HP 3000 series III software handles TCP, IP, 1822 and HDH
protocols. The code runs under the MPE IV operating system. It
is typically a user mode batch job, so that it may be stopped
and restarted for SYSDUMPs if desired without having to shut
down the rest of the system. It uses an HP Intelligent Network
Processor (INP) as the HDCC (Lap B) interface to the network.
Intrinsics exist to access TCP or UDP IP. The protocol process
includes TCP, IP, 1822 and a new protocol called HDH which
allows 1822 messages to be sent over HDLC links. The protocol
process has about 8k bytes of code and at least 20k bytes of
data depending on the number of buffers allocated.
The TCP code is believed to support all features except
rubber EOL. The IP code currently supports fragment reassembly
but not fragmentation. Provisions may be added to allow the IP
layer to act on routing and source quench messages. Security
and precedence are currently ignored.
In addition to TCP, the HP3000 has user and server Telnet as
well as user FTP. There is not a server FTP at this time.
A complete description of the implementation software can be
found in IEN-167.

1.13.5. IBM-VM
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: IBM VM
TYPE: TCP/IP Implementation
DESCRIPTION:
The VM software is written almost entirely in Pascal, with a
small amount of assembler-language support. Some assembler code
running on the Series/1 interfaces with the X.25 code, which is
a standard IBM product. Standard IBM-released software is used
throughout.
TCP/IP runs in a separate disconnected virtual machine.
Similarly, user SMTP, server SMTP, server FTP, and server Telnet
each occupies a dedicated virtual machine. User FTP and user
Telnet run within a user's virtual machine under CMS.
Communication between virtual machines is done through the IBM
Virtual Machine Communication Facility (VMCF). A detailed
preliminary design document is available by contacting one of
the individuals listed below. (Some details have changed since
it was written, but it is still mostly accurate.)
A Pronet driver has been implemented to enable the IP/TCP to
use the PRONET 10 megabit/sec token ring LAN. The hardware
interface is via a DACU (Device Access Control Unit) provided by
IBM. The DACU enables connection of UNIBUS devices to an IBM
channel. A driver for Ethernet will also be provided.
Direct connection to a C/30 IMP will require implementation
of a software driver in conjunction with a suitable hardware
interface (e.g., DACU--LH/DH or Series/1--HDH.)
The University of Wisconsin has implemented the Internet
protocols (FTP/SMTP/Telnet/TCP/IP) for IBM VM systems under
contract with IBM. In addition, a software interface between IP
and an X.25 implementation running on a Series/1 (RPS operating
system) has been completed. The complete package will enable
CSNET IBM VM hosts to connect to the DARPA Internet via TELENET.
This product is available on the commercial market for VM/SP
Release 3, Series/1 EDX Version 4, Series/1 RPS Version 5.2.

1.13.8. IBM-UNIX
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: IBM-FED-SYS
TYPE: front-end interface
DESCRIPTION:
IBM Fed Sys Division is working on a Series 1 FEP for
interface to the DDN/ARPANET. That box will be based on a
Series 1 that was done for USA DARCOM by Channel Systems, Inc.
as a sub to IBM. The Channel Systems box was acquired to attach
to the IBM I/O channel to provide the host an HDH/HDLC interface
to a remote IMP.
McKay is expanding the DARCOM box to run IBM UNIX and will
then migrate an existing UNIX-based TCP/IP to it. The resulting
FEP would allow the host to implement FTP, Telnet and Mail and
rely on the Series 1 for TCP/IP and connection to the net.
There are some efforts to pick up the completed UCLA
implementation and support it as a complete package or as
host-based FTP, Mail and Telnet for use with the Series 1 FEP.

1.13.10. UCLA-IBM/MVS
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: UCLA ACP
TYPE: TCP/IP Implementation
DESCRIPTION:
This is an IP/TCP implementation for IBM 370 under OS/MVS.
Original development and current enhancements to TCP/IP were
funded by DARPA. The complete package is known as "ARPANET
Control Program" or ACP and was developed from UCLA NCP for the
360/91 in 1969.
1. IMP Interface Hardware: ACC-IF-IMP/370 interface, or IBM
Series 1 with Channel Systems IMP Interface Card (see
IBM-FED-SYS).
2. Installation: Requires no system modifications for
installation. The ACP operates as a user job, but must
be declared non-swappable and occupy a high performance
group to OS/MVS. Uses ACF/VTAM for virtual terminals and
IPC.
3. IP Protocol Implementation:
- Fragmentation/reassembly: performs reassembly. Does
not fragment, assuming that higher-level protocol
(TCP) will create suitable size segments during
packetizing.
- Options: implements source routing (strict and
loose). Other options are accepted but ignored.
- Identifier selection: uses globally-unique
identifiers for transmitted segments, independent of
destination.
- Reassembly timeout: fixed value (30-60 seconds),
independent of time-to-live field. Packets are
discarded if time-to-live field is zero.
- Gateway functions: Uses preset table of "smart"
gateways, expects Redirects to correct choice.
However, uses gateway from which first packet was
received (for remotely-initiated association).
- ICMP: Fully supported (except Time Stamps and Info
Req.)
4. TCP Protocol Implementation:
- Precedence, security fields: not set or tested.
79
- TCP Options: May send max packet size option, and
can receive it.
- Urgent: may be sent and received by user process.
- Push: may be sent or received by user process.
- Retransmission: successive retransmissions use
exponential backoff. Base time is 2 times observed
exponentially weighted round-trip time. Round-trip
time is measured as initial packet transmission to
complete acknowledgment. Retransmits slowly into
zero window.
- Initial Sequence Number: derived from system clock.
- Window strategy: uses conservative strategy, never
advertising a receive window larger than the space
available in the circular buffer.
- ACK generation: always sends <ACK> in response to
receipt of a non-empty packet. As user process
removes bytes from buffer, optimizing algorithm
determines when to generate <ACK> to inform sender
of larger window.
5. UDP: UDP is implemented.
6. User-Level Protocols: User and Server Telnet, User and
Server FTP. Server Telnet access to TSO or any other
VTAM application that handles 3767 line terminals. STMP
will be implemented in the future.
7. Packet tracing, Debugging, and Monitoring Features
Extensive.

1.18. SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
1.18.1. v SDC
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: SDC
TYPE: TCP/IP implementation
DESCRIPTION:
SDC's implementation is part of their overall LAN product and
is designed to run in a variety of configurations, particularly
as a host NFE resident package using an 0586 (8086)-based
operating system. IP provides services to the TCP module and
depends on services of the lower layer protocols. ICMP is
implemented as an integral part of this IP.
The TCP is designed to support a wide range of ULPs and uses
a PAR mechanism. Transmission timeout is dynamically adjusted
to approximate the segment round-trip time plus a factor for
internal processing. TCP uses checksum and sequencing
mechanisms as well as variable windowing for acceptable
sequences. As data is accepted, TCP slides the window upward in
sequence number space with every segment. TCP also employs a
multiplexing mechanism for multiple ULPS within a single host
and multiple processes in a ULP to use TCP simultaneously.
The product is fully supported and documented from site
planning and preparation to post-installation maintenance and
technical support.

1.19.2. v SPERRY-1100
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: SPERRY-1100
TYPE: TCP/IP/X.25 implementation
DESCRIPTION:
The following DDN protocols are supported in this
implementation: IP, ICMP, TCP, Telnet, FTP and SMTP. In
addition, X.25 and HDLC Distant Host are supported. FTP and
SMTP are implemented within DDP in the 1100 host. All other
protocols are implemented within TELCON. Two hardware
configurations are required as a minimum at each Series 1100
host location: an 1100/60, 1100/70, 1100/80 or 1100/90 computer
and a Distributed Communications Processor (DCP/40 or DCP/10A)
as a front-end. The DCP's may also be configured as remote
concentrators to provide remote terminal access to DDN hosts. A
medium or high-speed loadable line module configured to support
bit-synchronous communications protocols is required in the DCP
to support the HDLC interface.
Full interoperability of the X.25 interface as a
heterogeneous DDN host is targeted for July 1985.

2. TCP/IP HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATIONS
2.1. ADVANCED COMPUTER COMMUNICATIONS
2.1.1. v ACC-ECU
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: ECU-II
TYPE: Error checking unit
DESCRIPTION:
The Error Control Unit provides an error-controlled link for
long distance connection of LH-DH/11 to DDN IMPs. Data transfer
between ECU-II units can take place at 1.5Mb/s when directly
connected by a 4-pair low capacitance cable up to 914 meters
(3000 feet) in length. Lower rates can be selected or
determined by attached modem types 303, 209, V.35, or 188-114.
Units are in pairs, one at each end of the communication link.
The data rate is enhanced by elimination of the need for inter
resource "handshaking" on every bit transferred. The units
serve as store-and-forward buffers, receiving and buffering
resource-generated data in semi-conductor RAMs, then forwarding
it by special protocol to the ECU near the other resource
device. Since the ECUs have two separate buffers they are
capable of simultaneous receipt and transmission in each
direction. ECUs are compatible with BBN-1822 or SDLC protocols
by direct cable or via modems. Compatible with native mode C/30
IMPs and TCP/IP.

TYPE: Ethernet Front-End Processor Boards
DESCRIPTION:
The EXOS 200 series includes boards for Multibus, VME, QBUS,
and UNIBUS. The design is modular, and can be readily adapted
to other host bus designs. Each is a single-board front-end
processor which includes an 80186 CPU, at least 128 Kbytes RAM,
and an Ethernet Data Link controller. In addition, a DMA-backed
SBX bus connector allows additional communications links to be
supported via off-the-shelf daughter boards. An EPROM-based
operating system kernel manages EXOS resources, and provides a
standard high-level programming environment for protocol code.
All boards can run the same object code, and are 100% software
compatible with Excelan's EXOS 101 product. TCP/IP protocol
code, available separately from Excelan, can be downloaded to
EXOS RAM at start-up time either by the host system, or over the
Ethernet.
