Abstract​

RFC 50 records the comments of E. Harslen and J. Heafner of RAND on the Meyer proposal circulated as Note #46. The authors find that proposal the most acceptable so far and, while noting that it does not cover everything recently suggested, prefer it to further delay of the specification; the memo then answers the seven issues raised in Note #47 -- dynamic reconnection, the INT command, instance tag identifiers, message data types and ASCII, word boundary alignment, short-term queueing of RFCs, and the UCC -- and adds two further comments on BLK and RSM and on the conditions under which the UCC may close a connection to a dead process.
