Network Working Group J. Postel Request for Comments: 661 SRI-ARC NIC: 31203 November 1974 Protocol Information This file contains information on the various protocols in the ARPA Network. An effort will be made to keep the information current, but this depends on the cooperation of the users of this file to convey any information about protocol developments, or corrections to this information to Jon Postel at SRI-ARC. This is a compendium of all the protocol related activity and most of this activity is with experimental protocols, for those protocols, which are official standards the designation "[Official]" will be appended to the name. Much of the documentation of protocols appears as Requests for Comments (RFCs) and many of these are available online. When a document is accessible online, a pointer to that source will be given. Also note that recent RFCs are online at Office-1 in directory <NETINFO> with names of the form RFCnnn.TXT where nnn is replaced by the RFC number.

Message type 6 now is used to indicate a reason for a type 7 (destination dead) message. (See BBN1822). There has been some recent changes to the Ready line interpretation by the IMP for deciding the alive/dead status of a host.
