--------------------------------------------------------------------- ANEWS-3 DCA Code 531 10 September 1980 (DCACODE535@ISI) (202) 692-6175 ARPANET NEWSLETTER --------------------------------------------------------------------- Gentlemen/Ladies: Enclosed is an announcement of a seminar to discuss the implementation of the new DOD Standard Protocols. Since these protocols will replace the existing NCP on the ARPANET in the next two years, this seminar is of importance to those personnel at ARPANET hosts who will be concerned with implementing the DOD standard Protocols. For those who can attend this seminar, it should be highly educational and informative. We also wish to note that you or your organization will have to defray any travel and conference costs involved with your attendance. This seminar will go into much greater detail on the higher level protocols then we hope to cover in the proposed liaison meetings (See recent DCA Newsletter). In addition, due to funding and scheduling problems, the liaison meeting schedule presented in the newsletter is under revision. We will make distirbution of a finalized schedule as soon as we can firm it up. Regards, Joe Haughney Major USAF DCA Code 535 --------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INTERNET AND TRANSMISSION CONTROL PROTOCOLS SEMINAR ON THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE DATA COMMUNICATIONS HOST-TO-HOST PROTOCOL STANDARDS --------------------------------------------------------------------- TIME: November 24-25, 1980 LOCATION: National Bureau of Standards Gaithersburg, Maryland SPONSORED BY: U. S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE Defense Communications Agency Defense Communications Engineering Center Computer Systems Division Office of the Secretary of Defense Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Information Systems Directorate Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Information Processing Techniques Office ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OBJECTIVE OF THE SEMINAR The objective of this seminar is to assist personnel who will implement the Department of Defense (DoD) Standard Host-to-Host Data Communications Protocols. The seminar will also provide information of interest to protocol designers, computer vendors, and others who are active in the field. This two-day seminar will present the technical experience gained from DoD research and the corresponding implementation efforts related to two specific protocols, the DoD Standard Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), and the DoD Standard Internet Protocol (IP). The sessions will concentrate on the TCP and IP specifications (1, 2), and the implementation of these protocols on different operating systems. On the first day, the seminar will present the motivation for the DoD Standardization effort, and will describe the approach for managing this effort. The design concepts and models for TCP and IP will be discussed in detail. On the second day, the seminar will address issues resulting from implementation of TCP and IP on different computer host and operating systems. Audience participation and interaction will be encouraged. References: Attendees are encouraged to become familar with the material in the references (1,5) in order to obtain the maximum benefit from the seminar; each registered attendee will receive a copy of these five references. Reference (6), A Practical View of Communication Protocols, is an additional source of background material, but it is not required for the seminar.

These protocols are the DoD Standard Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP). The Office of ASD(C3I) requested and received from DCA a plan for performing the function of Executive Agent for DoD Data communications protocol Standardization. The Defense Communications Engineering Center of the Defense Communications Agency and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency have active programs to provide standard protocols for current and future DoD data communications systems. The protocol standardization initiative is intended to reduce costs, increase interoperability, and facilitate the extendibility of systems. The goal is to develop standard protocols that ensure that DoD interoperability, survivability, robustness, security, precedence, and compartmentation requirements are supported. Furthermore, part of this goal is the proper coordination of DoD requirements to ensure that the appropriate services are considered by the pertinent standardization forums, and to ensure that DoD host-to-host standard protocols are responsive to emerging federal, national, and international standards. This seminar will provide a vehicle to distribute documentation and convey knowledge essential for developing expertise within industry and educational institutions that support current and efficient implementation of DoD communications systems. Future seminars will be planned to provide a forum for exchange of information and ideas. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TENTATIVE PROGRAM Seminar on The Department of Defense Data Communications Host-To-Host Protocol Standards NOVEMBER 24, 1980 - RED AUDITORIUM AGENDA: Concepts and Models 09:30 Welcome to National Bureau of Standards 09:40 Opening Remarks Mr. Steve Walker Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Communications, Command and Control and Intelligence 09:50 Synopsis of Seminar Dr. Robert Lyons Division Chief, Computer Systems Division Defense Communications Engineering Center 10:10 The DoD Data Communication Protocol Standardization Program Dr. Robert Lyons 10:40 Break 11:10 Basic Service Features of Different Transmission Control Protocols Mr. Greg Pearson Bolt Beranek and Newman, Inc. 12:05 The Conception and Evolution of Internetting within DoD, and the Internet Model Dr. Vinton Cerf, Manager Information Processing Techniques Office Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency 1:00 Lunch 2:00 The Design of the DoD Standard TCP and IP--Concepts, Issues, and Tradeoffs Dr. Jon Postel Information Sciences Institute University of Southern California 3:15 Break 3:30 The Design of the DoD Standard TCP and IP--Concepts, Issues, and Tradeoffs (continued) Dr. Jon Postel 4:15 DoD Standard Host-to-Host Protocol Implementation Considerations Using a Network Front-End Mr. John Day Digital Technology Inc. 5:00 End of First Day Activities NOVEMBER 25, 1980 - RED AUDITORIUM AGENDA: Implementations 9:30 Implementation of DoD Standard TCP and IP on the Multics Operating System Mr. David Clark Massachusetts Institute Technology 10:30 Implementation of DoD Standard TCP and IP on IBM Operating System MVT Mr. Bob Braden University of California at Los Angeles 11:30 Break 11:45 Implementation of DoD Standard TCP and IP on the DEC PDP-11 Operating System, UNIX Mr. Jack Haverty Bolt Beranek and Newman, Inc. 1:00 Lunch 2:00 Implementation of DoD Standard TCP and IP on the DEC System 20 Operating System, TOPS-20 Mr. Raymond Tomlinson Bolt Beranek and Newman, Inc. 3:00 Break 3:20 Implementation of Gateways Ms. Virginia Strazisar Bolt Beranek and Newman, Inc. 4:00 Implementation of DoD Standard TCP and IP on the DEC LSI-11 Dr. David Mills COMSAT Laboratories 5:00 End of Seminar -------------------------------------------------------------------- Place in an envelope with your registration fee (checks made payable to "DoD Protocol Standards") and mail to: Ms. Fran Nielsen Technology Building, Room B-212 National Bureau of Standards Washington,D.C. 20234 ------------------------------------------------------------------- REGISTRATION FORM Seminar on the Department of Defense Data Communications Host-To-Host Protocol Standards National Bureau of Standards Gaithersburg, Maryland Nov. 24-25, l980 Name ____________________________________________________ Organization ___________________________________________ Street Address __________________________________________ City ___________________ State ____________Zip __________ Telephone _____________ Registration Fee Enclosed -- $25 OFFICIAL USE ONLY x Csh. x Ck.
