                         New HOST-HOST Protocol

   Attached is a copy of the paper to be presented at the SJCC on the
   HOST-HOST Protocol.  It indicates many changes from the old protocol
   in NWG/RFC 11; these changes resulted from the network meeting on

   shortly.  Responses to this memo are solicited, either as NWG/RFC's
   or personal notes to me.
