Abstract​

RFC 33 forwards a paper presented at the Spring Joint Computer Conference on the HOST-HOST protocol of the ARPA network. The paper reviews the design philosophy behind the protocol, describes the network as seen by the hosts (messages, leaders, links and RFNMs), defines connections, the Network Control Program, sockets and virtual nets, documents the system calls and control commands, and discusses logging in, user level software, higher level protocol and HOST/IMP interfacing. It notes the many changes from the protocol given in NWG/RFC 11.
