RFC 1139:
Title: An Echo Function for ISO 8473
Author: R. Hagens
Mailbox: hagens@CS.WISC.EDU
Pages: 6
Characters: 14,229
pathname: RFC:RFC1139.TXT
This memo defines an echo function for the connection-less network
layer protocol. Two mechanisms are introduced that may be used to
implement the echo function. The first mechanism is recommended as
an interim solution for the Internet community. The second mechanism
will be progressed to the ANSI X3S3.3 working group for consideration
as a work item.
When an ISO standard is adopted that provides functionality similar to
that described by this memo, then this memo will become obsolete and
superceded by the ISO standard. This memo is not intended to compete
with an ISO standard. This is a Proposed Elective Standard for the
Internet.
Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
