RFC 376
Network Host Status
RFC 376: NETWORK HOST STATUS 🎀
Network Working Group 💖 Author: Ellen Westheimer (BBN) ✨ NIC #: 11118 🌸 RFC #: 376 🦋 Date: 8 August 1972 📅 Categories: F, G.3 💅 Updates: RFC #370 🔥 Obsoletes: None 🙈
NETWORK HOST STATUS 🌈
okay so this RFC is the host status report for basically every Network Host from July 31 to August 4. it's giving real-time network gossip 🧚
Several Hosts are currently excluded from the daily testing 🙈 because they're meant to be users only, no testing needed. The Terminal IMPs are still in the Network though, and they're the main ones here: AMES, MITRE, RADC, NBS, ETAC, USC, GWC, NOAA, SAAC, ARPA, and BBN*. 💜 The Network Control Center computer (Network address 5) is also in this group. It's used only for gathering statistics from the Network, so it's the stats queen 👑. And finally, these Hosts are included too:

138 Lincoln TSP
12 Illinois PDP-11
19 NBS PDP-11
23 USC IBM-360/44The tables on the next two pages summarize the Host status for this period 🍓
NOTE 💌
ngl this part is kind of sad 😭 Ellen Westheimer left BBN to go back to school on August 4, so the team is stopping these summaries 🎀 Alex says UCLA-NMC is thinking about publishing similar survey data, and it'll be more detailed too! He's hoping that data replaces these reports 🫶 MIT-DMCG has also had survey info online for a while already (see RFC #308, NIC 9259), so there are options 🌸
- Alex McKenzie -*The BBN Terminal IMP (Network Address 158) is a prototype 🧪 and as such is frequently not connected to the Network, because it's being used to refine and debug the Terminal IMP programs.

Here's the decoder ring for those letters 💜
- D = Dead 💀: the Destination Host is either dead or inaccessible from the BBN Terminal IMP, whether because of network partitioning or a local IMP failure.
- F = Full 🙅♀️: the Destination Host opened a connection, told the user that all Network ports were in use, and immediately closed the connection.
- H = 1/2 Open 🌓: the Destination Host opened a connection but then either immediately closed it, or stopped responding.
- O = Open ✨: the Destination Host opened a connection and was accessible to users.
- R = Refused 🚫: the Destination Host returned a CLS to the initial RFC.
- T = Timed out ⏰: the Destination Host didn't finish the ICP and open a connection within 60 seconds.
*The only service currently offered by the UCLA IBM-360/91 is a Network Job Service (NETRJS). The BBN Terminal IMP isn't equipped to test NETRJS, though, so we're assuming that a successful initial connection to the NETRJS logger means NETRJS is also functioning.
#These sites advertise that they may not have their system available at these times. 🙈
