SATNET development and operation. Pluribus satellite IMP development, remote site maintenance. Internet development: Mobile access terminal network, TCP for the HP3000, TCP-TAC, TCP for VAX-UNIX
Abstract
This Quarterly Technical Report is the current edition in a series of reports which describe the work being performed at BBN in fulfillment of several ARPA work statements. This QTR covers work on several ARPA-sponsored projects including (1) development and operation of the SATNET satellite network; (2) development of the Pluribus Satellite IMP; (3) Remote Site Maintenance activities; (4) inter-network monitoring; (5) development of the Mobile Access Terminal Network; (6) TCP for the HP3000; (7) TCP-TAC; and (8) TCP for the VAX-UNIC. This work is described in this single Quarterly Technical Report with the permission of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The search for a mechanism for loading the UCL gateway, once the ARPANET trunking line via SATNET to the London TIP has been removed from service, has led to renewed interest in a gateway loading access path via SATNET directly. This requires a loader/dumper be written for the gateway which implements XNET4, Internet Protocol, Host-SATNET Protocol, and ARPANET VDH Protocol. Clearly, given the number of functions involved, it is essential that the implementation contain only minimal subsets of all protocols involved.
