- Request for Comments: 361 MIT-DMCG
- NIC: 10603 5 July 1972
-
-
- In response to RFCs 347 and 348, ECHO and DISCARD, MIT-DMCG
- (Host 106) now has deamon processes that will respond to RFCs on
- sockets 7 and 9.
-
- A few administrative type decisions were made, to which I
- would like to solicit comments.
-
- First, if our machine is too full to support another deamon
- process, the pro-offered connection will be refused; that is, a
- CLS will be sent in response to the RFC on socket 7 or 9.
- Second, if no activity takes place for two consecutive minutes
- (no characters received on input, or output blocked waiting for
- allocation), the connection will be aborted.
-
- Does anyone see the need or desirability for the third
- service in this set: a random character generator? Many systems
- provide programs like "TTYTST" available over the standard login
- connection, but there would be no difficulty in creating a server
- connection (like ECHO) offering just this limited service. I'm
- sure that it would be useful for new NCPs, as well as statistics
- gathering.
