- Echo Process
-
-
- I suggest that for debugging and measurement purposes those hosts which
- are willing implement an "Echo" process.
- This echo process would listen for a request for connection and execute
- the Initial Connection Protocol (ICP) as specified in NIC 7104 the
- "Current Network Protocols" notebook. Upon completion of the ICP the
- echo process would wait for data from the network. When the data is
- received from the network it is echoed at once, (and the buffer space is
- re-allocated). By echoed I mean that the data received is sent back
- over the network, bit for bit with no modification by the echo process.
- The echo process is terminated by closing the network connections.
- Note that BBN-TENEX has had such an echo process available for use for a
- long time.
