SITE STATUS
Beginning with this RFC, BBN will report on the status of most
Network Hosts approximately once every two weeks. The information
for these reports will be gained from talking to people at each site,
and from experimental "data". These data will be the results of
daily attempts to log into each of the Hosts which might be
accessible to a Network user; the attempts will have been made from
the BBN prototype Terminal IMP at a random time each weekday.
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) for at least a
month. Included here are:
Network Site Computer
Address
71 Rand PDP-10
74 Lincoln TX2
11 Stanford PDP-10
13 Case PDP-10
14 Carnegie PDP-10
15 Paoli B6500
2) Hosts which are currently intended to be users only. Included
here are the Terminal IMPs presently in the Network (AMES, MITRE,
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:

* The UCLA IBM-360 is at the moment only able to handle Remote Job
Service. BBN is not equipped to test this, but is assuming that
receipt of their canned message indicates that RJS is also
functioning.
