Bakin@MIT-MULTICS.ARPA (David S. Bakin) (08/13/86)
I echo Larry Campbell's statement about the need for end-to-end error checking, and recommend the article "End-to-End Arguments in System Design" by J.H. Saltzer, D.P.Reed, and D.D.Clark in the Nov 1984 ACM Trans on Computer Systems to anyone working with protocols. (The names should be recognizable to anyone familiar with Multics or Arpanet development.) -- Dave (Bakin -at mit-multics.arpa)
