∂898 R. Hinden Apr 84 Gateway Special Interest Group Meeting Notes
This memo is a report on the Gateway Special Interest Group Meeting
that was held at ISI on 28 and 29 February 1984. Robert Hinden of
BBNCC chaired, and Jon Postel of ISI hosted the meeting.
Approximately 35 gateway designers and implementors attended. These
notes are based on the recollections of Jon Postel and Mike Muuss.
Under each topic area are Jon Postel's brief notes, and additional
details from Mike Muuss. This memo is a report on a meeting. No
conclusions, decisions, or policy statements are documented in this
note.
∂897 J. Postel Mar 84 Domain Name System Implementation Schedule
This memo is a policy statement on the implementation of the Domain
Style Naming System in the Internet. This memo is a partial update
of RFC 881. The intent of this memo is to detail the schedule for
the implementation for the Domain Style Naming System. The names of
hosts will be changed to domain style names. Hosts will begin to use
domain style names on 14-Mar-84, and the use of old style names will
be completely phased out before 2-May-84. This applies to both the
ARPA research hosts and the DDN operational hosts. This is an
official policy statement of the ICCB and the DARPA.

An Implementation Specification" [2], and was later updated in IEN-109,
"How to Build a Gateway" [3]. This document reflects changes made both
in the internet protocols and in the gateway design since these
documents were released. It supersedes both IEN-30 and IEN-109.

assignment of numbers is also handled by Jon, subject to the agreement
between DARPA/IPTO and DDN/PMO about number allocation, documented in
Appendix A of this RFC. If you are developing a protocol or
application that will require the use of a link, socket, port,
protocol, or network number please contact Jon to receive a number
assignment.
∂819 Su/Postel Aug 82 The Domain Naming Convention for
Internet User Applications
For many years, the naming convention "<user>@<host>" has served the
ARPANET user community for its mail system, and the substring
"<host>" has been used for other applications such as file transfer
(FTP) and terminal access (Telnet). With the advent of network
interconnection, this naming convention needs to be generalized to
accommodate internetworking. A decision has recently been reached to
replace the simple name field, "<host>", by a composite name field,
"<domain>" [2]. This note is an attempt to clarify this generalized
naming convention, the Internet Naming Convention, and to explore the
implications of its adoption for Internet name service and user
applications.
∂818 Postel Nov 82 The Remote User Telnet Service
In the ARPANET Host-to-Host Network Control Protocol (NCP) and in the
Internet Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) well known sockets or
ports are used to identify services. The general notion is that there
are a few types of services that are distinct and useful enough to use
the NCP or TCP demultiplexing mechanism directly.
The most common of these is the Server Telnet which generally speaking
defines the network terminal access procedure for a system executive.
That is, making a connection to the server Telnet port actually puts
the caller in contact with the system executive, for example, the
TOPS20 EXEC or the Unix Shell.
On some small hosts there may be very limited functionality and no
executive. In such cases it may be useful to designate specific well
known ports for specific applications.
This memo specifies that the specific service of User Telnet may be
accessed (on hosts that choose to provide it) by opening a connection
to port 107 (153 octal). The Telnet Protocol is to be used on the
connection from the originating user to the server.
∂817:812 [unknown]
∂811 NIC 1 Mar 82 Hostnames Server
The NIC Internet Hostnames Server is an NCP/TCP-based host
information program and protocol running on the SRI-NIC
machine. It is one of a series of ARPANET/Internet name
services maintained by the Network Information Center (NIC) at
SRI International on behalf of the Defense Communications
Agency (DCA). The function of this particular server is to
deliver machine-readable name/address information describing
networks, gateways, hosts, and eventually domains, within the
internet environment. As currently implemented, the server
provides the information outlined in the DoD Internet Host
Table Specification (RFC 810).
∂810 NIC 1 Mar 82 DoD Internet Host Table Specification
The ARPANET Official Network Host Table, as outlined in RFC 608, no
longer suits the needs of the DoD community, nor does it follow a
format suitable for internetting. This paper specifies a new host
table format applicable to both ARPANET and Internet needs.
In addition to host name to host address translation and selected
protocol information, we have also included network and gateway name
to address correspondence, and host operating system information.
This Host Table is utilized by the DoD Host Name Server maintained by
the ARPANET Network Information Center (NIC) on behalf of the Defense
Communications Agency (DCA) (RFC 811). It obsoletes the host table
described in RFC 608.
