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, including IMP software modifications to permit more than 63 IMPs on the net and more than 4 Host computers on an IMP, and shipment of the first Private Line Interface to the field; and discusses in some detail the new TIP software to be released shortly, the Packet Satellite Demonstration and Satellite IMP activities, and recent development in Pluribus technology, plus a summary of accomplishments to date in the latter area.
