Abstract​

RFC 63 reports on the Network Working Group meeting held at Lincoln Labs on 8 May 1970, which took up Lincoln Lab's Local Interaction Language (LIL), the format of records and messages in HOST-HOST information exchange, and a number of miscellaneous gripes. Reviewing NWG/RFC #42, the attendees agreed that records may begin anywhere within a message, that the first 8 bits of a record are reserved for type information, and that the first transmission on a connection starts a record, and they permuted that memo's proposals into a set of type byte values running from an arbitrarily long bit string (type 0) through 8-bit ASCII, EBCDIC, MOD 33 TTY 7-bit ASCII and the two hosts' local character sets (types 1 through 5). The report closes with the list of attendees and a note that Jim Torson, rather than Chuck Rose, will receive future NWG/RFC's.
