University College London ARPANET Project.

Abstract

Research activities covered in this document include the interconnection of hosts and networks, the development of a system SWITCH for virtual network connection, and our connction to the UK Post Office Experimental Packet Switched Service. Two topics covered in particular detail are the packet satellite project and the Transmission Control Program (TCP) experiments. These have particular relevance to other ARPA supported projects and so are treated in space depth. Finally, our measurement and facsimile activities are described, and UK use of ARPANET through the ULC TIP is evaluated. A list of conclusions that may be drawn from our research activities during 1976 is given at the end of the report. (Author)
