Output of the Host-Host Protocol Glitch Cleaning Committee

Introduction

The Host-Host Protocol Glitch Cleaning Committee met for the second
time at UCLA on 8, 9 March 1971, after canvassing the network com-
munity.  [The result of the (slightly larger) committee's first
meeting are documented in RFC #102.]  The committee agreed on
several modifications to the protocol in Document #1; these modi-
fications are listed below.

At each of the meeting, the committee quickly treated all but one
of the extant topics.  At the first meeting, the bulk of time was
spent considering the interrupt mechanism, and that discussion is
summarized in RFC #102.  At the second meeting, the committee spent
almost all of its time discussing the notion of bytes; this dis-
cussion is summarized after the list of modifications.

This RFC entirely supercedes RFC #102, and is an official modi-
fication of Document #1.  A revision of Document #1 will be written
shortly which incorporates the changes listed here.


NCP implementers are to incorporate these changes as soon as
possible.  NCP implementers also are to estimate on what date
theis NCP's will be ready and to communicate this estimate to
Steve Crocker or his secretary, Byrna Kristel.
