Interface Message Processors for the ARPA Computer Network

Abstract

The ARPA computer network is a packet-switching store-and-forward communications system designed for use by computers and computer terminals. This Quarterly Technical Report Briefly describes various aspects of network operation and maintenance (installation of IMPs security activities, Network Control Center program modifications, network hardware maintenance, and developments related to the Terminal IMP, 316 IMP, Pluribus IMP, and Satellite IMP) and presents in detail a systematic method for detecting and preventing interrupt or multiprogramming bugs.
