As per Relevance of the word messages, we have this rfc below:
Network Working Note Steve Crocker,
RFC-6 10 April 1969
CONVERSATION WITH BOB
I talked with Bob Kahn at BB&N yesterday. We talked about code
in the IMP's, IMP-HOST communication, and HOST software
BB&N is prepared to convert 6, 7, 8, or 9 bit character codes into 8-
ASCII for transmission and convert again upon assembly at the
IMP. BB&N plans a one for one conversion scheme with tables unique to
HOST. I suggested that places with 6-bit codes may also want case shifting
Bob said this may result in overflow if too many case shifts are necessary
I suggested that this is rare and we could probably live with an
indication instead of a guarantee
With respect to HOST-IMP communication, we now have a five bit link
and a bit to indicate conversion. Also possible is a 2-bit
indicator, one for converting before sending and one for converting after
This would allow another handle for checking or controlling the system
The HOST can send messages or portions of a message to its IMP
1.
2.
3. Whether message is for destination IMP or
4. Send
5. HOST up or
6.
7. Format Error
8. Master Link
9. Status
The IMP can send to its HOST information
1.
2. REFNM
3. IMP up or
4.
5. Called HOST not
6. Format
7. Status in
I also summarized for Bob the contents of Network Notes l, 2, and 3.
if you see any problems within the linking, don't worry be happy,
this is version 0.1 of the Relevance System and you gotta expect some crappy subroutines sometimes,
just be content we did not write this in Java, which would have made this "bigger and better" HAHAHHA.
RFC documents can be found at I.E.T.F.
