Okay bestie, so this is a survey of 18 February 1983 📋 It's about figuring out how many hosts can actually pick up when a user at a class C site dials them over TELNET 📞 And it's not just IP and TCP doing the work here 😭 The hosts also have to handle gateway routing through ICMP and deal with class C addresses. Iconic, honestly 👑
The host list came from [RFC843] 📜 Only the hosts listed there as accepting TELNET connections made the cut 💅 Literally nobody else was invited 🙈
The tests ran on 18-Feb-83 from 3 PM to 6:30 PM EST ⏰ The starting point was a terminal concentrator at 192.1.2.22, over at BBN 🏢 That network (192.1.2.xxx) hooks up to the internet through a routing gateway. The concentrator speaks ICMP, including redirection and reporting back to the user, so it's giving full networking nerd energy 🤓🔥
The connection attempts were typed by hand, using the dotted form addresses. That means only three passes went through the host table 🫠 So a few hosts might have been missed because they were down at those times. Not everyone gets a perfect record, and that's valid 💜
Summary information 📊
Type # OK out of % OK
---- ---- ------ ----
On net 10 77 121 63.6%
other class A 20 34 58.8%
non-class A 30 32 93.8%
Total 127 187 67.9%Okay so the total is 127 OK out of 187, which is 67.9% 🥹 The non-class A hosts absolutely ate at 93.8% 🍓 Meanwhile "On net 10" came in at 63.6% and "other class A" at 58.8%. Not the flex you'd expect, but still a whole vibe 💅
