September, 1974, survey of New-Protocol Telnet servers Last modified on Thursday, February 24th, 2000 Permanent link to RFC 702 Search GitHub Wiki for RFC 702 Show other RFCs mentioning RFC 702 Network Working Group D.W. Dodds RFC # 702 BBN-TENEXA September 25, 1974 SEPTEMBER, 1974, SURVEY OF NEW-PROTOCOL TELNET SERVERS LAST MONTH'S SURVEY PRODUCED A GRATIFYING AMOUNT OF FEEDBACK CLARIFYING THE STATUS OF SEVERAL SITES; HOWEVER THERE HAVE BEEN VERY FEW CHANGES IN THE STATUS OF HOST SERVERS. THE CHANGES IN THIS MONTH'S LIST, IN NUMERICAL ORDER (HOST NUMBER THROUGHOUT ARE OCTAL): UCLA-NMC IS NO LONGER A SERVER; HOST 205 IS NOW BBN-TENEXD, A NEW SYSTEM (BBNB) IS NOW HOST 61; RAND-RCC WAS ACCIDENTALLY OMITTED FROM THE PREVIOUS LIST; SDC-LAB HAS BEEN TEMPORARILY ELIMINATED FROM THE LIST UNTIL IT RETURNS TO THE NET; I4-TENEXA (117) IS NOT A SERVER--KI4B-TENEX (217) IS, AND HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE LIST; AMES-67 FIXED A BUG, REVEALING TO THE WORLD THE NEW-PROTOCOL SERVER (NO OPTIONS) THAT WAS THERE ALL ALONG; ISI-DEVTENEX (226) AND USC-ECL (327) HAVE BEEN ADDED. WHAT FOLLOWS IS AN UPDATE OF THE SUMMARY AND TABULATION THAT APPEARED LAST MONTH.* THERE IS STILL A LONG WAY TO GO TO 100% NEW-PROTOCOL IMPLEMENTATION. TOTAL SERVER HOSTS 34 100% NO NEW-PROT SERVER 21 62% TOTAL NEW-PROT IMPLEM. 13 38% NEW-PROT ON SOCKET 27, OLD ON SOCKET 1 (2) 6 18% NEW-PROT ON 1 AND 27 (3) 6 18% NEW-PROT ON 1 ONLY 1 3% NOTES: * ALL DATA IN THIS REPORT WERE GATHERED VIA A SURVEYING PROGRAM RUN AT VARIOUS TIMES, PLUS A FEW MANUAL CHECKS TO FILL OUT THE DATA. WHAT IS REPORTED HERE IS THE WAY THE VARIOUS SERVERS WORK AS SEEN BY THE NEW-PROTOCOL USER TELNET AT BBNA, AS OF 23 SEPT. 1974. (2) THESE ARE THE SITES WHOSE OPERATION IS 100% CORRECT ACCORDING TO ALL PROTOCOL AND CONVENTIONS, AS I UNDERSTAND THEM. (3) WE REALIZE THAT SOME OF THE SERVERS THAT APPEAR HERE AS NEW-PROTOCOL SERVERS ON SOCKET 1 ARE ACTUALLY SERVERS WHICH ATTEMPT TO COMMUNICATE WITH BOTH OLD- AND NEW-PROTOCOL USER TELNETS ACCORDING TO WHAT CONTROL SEQUENCES ARE RECEIVED.
