Abstract​

RFC 82 records the notes taken by Edwin W. Meyer, Jr. of MIT Project MAC at three network meetings held in Houston during the 1970 Fall Joint Computer Conference, on 16, 17 and 18 November 1970. The participants discuss logger protocol and the operational use of the network, the reworking of the NCP protocol, the services of the Network Information Center presented by Douglas Engelbart, half-duplex and full-duplex console interaction, documentation of individual hosts, accounting and measurement, and the transmission of files of arbitrary length. The notes record the state of sites, the agreement to keep protocol changes to a minimum until the network is in operational use, and the decision to continue the discussion in smaller working groups and further meetings.
