RFC 266

NETWORK HOST STATUS ✨

okay bestie, this is RFC 266 🎀 It's from the Network Working Group, written by Ellen Westheimer of Bolt Beranek and Newman Inc. 🦋 It's dated 8 November 1971 and has the NIC number #7814. The categories are F, G, 3. It updates RFC 255 and obsoletes nothing 💅

okay so this RFC is a status report on most Network Hosts from October 26 to November 5 📡 (Massachusetts celebrated Armistice day on Monday, October 25 🇺🇸). Over those two weeks, the general status of these hosts stayed the same as before ✨ no drama, no chaos, just vibes 🫶

The table below sums up the daily host status for this period 💜

here's the decoder ring for the letters 🔍

• D = Dead (Destination Host either dead or inaccessible [due to network partitioning or local IMP failure] from the BBN Terminal IMP.) 💀
• R = Refused (Destination Host returned a CLS to the initial RFC.) 🙅‍♀️
• T = Timed out (Destination Host did not respond in any way to the initial RFC, although not dead.) ⏳
• H = 1/2 Open (Destination Host opened a connection but then either immediately closed it, or did not respond any further.) 🌗
• O = Open (Destination Host opened a connection and was accessible to users.) 🌸 the slay letter ✨

⚠️ tea alert: the UCLA IBM-360/91 (that's the *65 one) has Remote Job Service (NETRJS), but it hasn't implemented a full server Telnet System yet 🙈 The BBN Terminal IMP isn't set up to test NETRJS, so we're assuming that getting the UCLA explanatory message means NETRJS is also working 🧚
