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.

Recent developments:
The "link number" filed has been extended from 8 to 12 bits
and renamed the "message identification" field. 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.
Important changes to the IMP and IMP/HOST interface
announced in RFC 660 23-Oct-74.
