- Network Use on MAY 8
-
-
-
- Vint Cerf of UCLA Network Measurement Center has just indicated
- to us a requirement to carry out certain performance experiments on
- the network prior to installation of the new IMP software on May 15.
- These experiments are designed to measure network performance under
- heavy traffic load to a single site, and thus may cause the network to
- "lock up" such that _no_ traffic can flow (a problem which the new IMP
- software is de- signed to prevent). Vint has indicated to us that ARPA
- regards these experiments as extremely important in spite of the
- possibility of lockup; we have therefore agreed to assist with the
- experiments and scheduled them for May 8.
-
- Although we do not know whether these experiments will cause
- lockup, we suggest that sites do not schedule important network work
- for Monday, May 8. We apologize for the lateness of this announcement.
