RFC 270

Correction to BBN Report No. 1822 💅

Okay bestie, this is RFC 270 🌸, a Network Working Group doc written by A. McKenzie at BBN (NIC 7818) on January 1, 1972. The header doesn't list a category, and it doesn't obsolete or update anything. 🦋

Here's the tea ☕. While working on RFC #271, the BBN team found some errors in BBN Report No. 1822 (NIC 7958). The attached page is a corrected version of page 25, and the first two lines should be deleted from page 26. 🫶

The paragraph at the top of page 25 now says the Host is NOT marked dead under the stated conditions. It also changes the timeout period from 40 seconds to 30. 😭 In the footnote, the two changes are underlined, and they show the timeout as 30 seconds too. A more formal update to Report 1822 will come out eventually. ✨

Please note that these changes fix errors in earlier versions of Report 1822, not changes to the IMP system. The timeout period has ALWAYS been 30 seconds, and the Host was NEVER marked dead under these conditions. 💀 Iconic consistency! 💜
