[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] Host Requirements

mcc@WLV.IMSD.CONTEL.COM (Merton Campbell Crockett) (05/29/89)

The answer is probably somewhere in the clutter in my office or residing under
some obtuse name in a indeterminate directory on disk; however, what is the
RFC number for the Host Requirements document?  If not released and/or not
available at SRI-NIC, where can I obtain a copy of the current draft?

Merton,

The host requirements RFC still lives in the same place, but it
recently underwent mitosis.  Use anonymous FTP to host venera.isi.edu
and fetch the pathnames:

   pub/ietf-hosts.rfcL.txt and  pub/ietf-hosts.rfcU.txt

or   
 
   pub/ietf-hosts.rfcL.txt.Z and  pub/ietf-hosts.rfcU.txt.Z

The L files contain the link, IP, and transport layers, while the U files
contain the application and support programs.

There has long been a plan to make this document available from the NIC
as an Internet-draft, but it has not happened yet.

Could someone please forward the Host Requirements or inform me where to
obtain access ?
Thanks.

  Would someone please forward a copy of the Host Requirements or direct
  me to where I may obtain access ? 
 
    Thank You.

The Host Requirements RFC draft document is available for anonymous FTP
from host: VENERA.ISI.EDU.  There are two parts, with pathnames: 

   pub/ietf-hosts.rfcL.txt
   pub/ietf-hosts.rfcU.txt

For Unix fans, there are also corresponding compressed files:

   pub/ietf-hosts.rfcL.txt.Z
   pub/ietf-hosts.rfcU.txt.Z
