5b2 INPUT/OUTPUT over auxilliary link




 
RFC 2


      5b3 Interrogate status auxilliary link.

         5b3a Don't know what, exactly, this should do, but it seems as
         though it might be useful.

      5b4 Kill auxilliary link.

   5c Special executive functions

      5c1 Transparent. INPUT/OUTPUT over link

         5c1a This may be used to do block I/O transfers over a link

         5c1b The function of the monitor in this instance is to
         transfer a buffer directly to its IMP

         5c1c At does not modify it in any way

            5c1c1 This means that the header and other control
            information must be in the buffer.

         5c1d The indended use of this is for network debugging.

6 INITIAL CHECKOUT

   6a The network will be initially checked out using the links in a
   simulated data-phone mode.

      6a1 All messages will be one character in length.

      6a2 Links will be transparent to the monitor, and controlled by
      user program via a special executive primitive.

         6a2a The initial test will be run from two user programs in
         different HOSTs, e.g. DDT to DDT.

         6a2b It will be paralleled by a telephone link or similar.
