Abstract​

RFC 36 presents working notes on the host-to-host protocol. It gives an overview of the three facilities the protocol provides -- connection establishment, flow control, and reconnection -- including a step-by-step scenario for connection establishment and a discussion of dynamic reconnection; it describes the data structures the network control program maintains (the connection table, the process table, the input link table, the output link table, and the link assignment table) together with the fields of each; and it specifies the nine control commands (NOP, RFC, CLS, RSM, SPD, FND, END, RDY, and ASG), giving the form and purpose of each.
