I have a few questions for the TCP/IP jockeys. I would greatly appreciate any answers. 1. What link level protocols are typically used under IP ? 2. What link level protocols are used in the ARPANET ? 3. What link level protocols are used in the Defense Data Network ? 4. What upper level protocols are used on the above to handle any of the following: 1. Host to Host batch file transfers 2. User terminal to Host file transfers (or the reverse) 3. Interactive user terminal to host transfers 4. Mail 5. Shared database transfers ? I am also curious to know how two TCP's arbitrate the size of the total message sent. If segmented can it get large ? If yes then how does it keep from getting too large for the machine ? Does any of this matter ? Thanks for your assistance and time.
