Abstract​

This memo records the network meeting held at UCLA on October 10, 1969. It lists the participants from SDC, UCLA and UCSB, gives the three topics discussed, and then reports each in turn: the changes to BBN Memo No. 1822 that were informally communicated by Dave Wa, including the limit of 63 active transmit and receive links, the rule that an unused link is deleted after 26 seconds, the "regular with discard" message type, and corrections to the numbering of message types 6, 8 and 10, with the bracketed exchange between Cerf and Crocker on link deletion reproduced in full; the obsolescence of NWG/RFC 11 through developments at UCLA; and the forthcoming NWG/RFC 23 by George Gregg of UCSB on the transmission of multiple control messages.
