SITE STATUS

Beginning with this RFC, BBN will report on the status of most Network Hosts approximately once every two weeks. The information for these reports will be gained from talking to people at each site, and from experimental "data". These data will be the results of daily attempts to log into each of the Hosts which might be accessible to a Network user; the attempts will have been made from the BBN prototype Terminal IMP at a random time each weekday.

Several Hosts are currently excluded from the daily testing. These Hosts fall into two categories:

1) Hosts which are not expected to be functioning on the Network as servers (available for use from other sites) for at least a month. Included here are:

            Network             Site              Computer
            Address
            
             71                 Rand              PDP-10
             74                 Lincoln           TX2
             11                 Stanford          PDP-10
             13                 Case              PDP-10
             14                 Carnegie          PDP-10
             15                 Paoli             B6500

2) Hosts which are currently intended to be users only. Included here are the Terminal IMPs presently in the Network (AMES, MITRE, and BBN*). This category also includes the Network Control Center computer (Network Address 5) which is used solely for gathering statistics from the Network. Finally, included among these Hosts are the following:

            Network              Site               Computer
            Address

7 Rand IBM-360

73 Harvard PDP-1

12 Illinois PDP-11

The tables on the next two pages condense the information on Host status for September 13 through September 24.

________________
* The BBN Terminal IMP (Network Address 158) is a prototype, and as such is frequently not connected to the Network, but being used to refine and debug the Terminal IMP programs.

   where

D = Dead. (Destination Host either dead or inaccessible (due to network partitioning or local IMP failure from the BBN Terminal IMP)

R = Refused. (Destination Host returned a CLS to the initial RFC.)

T = Timed out. (Destination Host did not responding any way to the initial RFC, although not dead.)

1/2 0 = 1/2 Open. (Destination Host opened a connection but then either immediately closed it, or did not respond any further.)

0 = Open. (Destination Host opened a connection and was accessible to users.

* The UCLA IBM-360 is at the moment only able to handle Remote Job Service. BBN is not equipped to test this, but is assuming that receipt of their canned message indicates that RJS is also functioning.
