An Interface to the ARPA Network for the CP/CMS Time-Sharing System. Volume 1

Abstract

The ARPA network consists of a Network Control Program (NCP) which handles Host to Host communications, a LOGGER/SERVER for providing access to a CP virtual machine from the network, and a user subroutine package for communicating with other Hosts on the network form a logged on CP virtual machine operating in the CMS environment. The NCP and the LOGGER each run in separate virtual machines; the NCP handling the I/O operations with the IMP and the LOGGER handling pseudo I/O operations with CP through a software supported virtual terminal device. CMS virtual machines communicate with the NCP virtual machine through a special virtual machine to virtual machine communications facility. The report describes the routines which make up the NCP and the LOGGER.
