                          NETWORK HOST STATUS

   This RFC reports on the status of most Network Hosts from December 20
   to December 30.  (On December 24 and December 31 BBN celebrated
   Christmas and New Year's Day respectively.)

   During these two weeks the Lincoln Labs TX2 (Network Address 112)
   became a server.

   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) on a regular basis
      for at least two weeks.  Included here are:

      NETWORK            SITE            COMPUTER
      ADDRESS

      133                BBN             PDP-10 (B)
      15                 Case            PDP-10
      13                 Ames/(Paoli)    ILLIAC/(B6500)

      2)  Hosts which are currently intended to be users only.  Included
      here are the Terminal IMPs, which are presently in the Network
      (AMES, MITRE, NBS 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-360/65
      73                  Harvard        PDP-1
      12                  Illinois       PDP-11
      19                  NBS            PDP-11

RFC 288 Network Host Status January 1972 where D = Dead (Destination Host either dead or inaccessible [due to network partitioning or local IMP failure] from the BBN Terminal IMP.) H = 1/2 Open (Destination Host opened a connection but then either immediately closed it, or did not respond any further.) O = Open (Destination Host opened a connection and was accessible to users.) R = Refused (Destination Host returned a CLS to the initial RFC.) T = Timed out (Destination Host did not complete the ICP and open a connection within 60 second) * The only service currently offered by the UCLA IBM-360/91 is a Network Job Service (NETRJS), however, the BBN Terminal IMP is not equipped to test NETRJS. We are assuming that initial connection to the NETRJS logger indicated the NETRJS is also functioning. # These sites advertise that they may not have their system available at these times.
