G. Service to Network

CCN currently plans to provide RJS, URSA, and (eventually) TSO service to the Network. Each of these will have its own third-level protocol. In addition, there will be a "transparent" third level protocol to allow a user-written program running in batch or TSO at CCN to converse directly with the Network.

The third-level protocols, in the order in which we plan to implement them, are as follows:

1. NETRJS

NETRJS is the name of the third level protocol by which a user process in a remote host will simulate a remote batch terminal connected to CCN's RJS system. Thus, NETRJS will allow a user to submit complete batch jobs to the 360/91 and receive their print and punch output streams back over the Network. NETRJS has been specified in RFC #88 and implementation is targeted for March, 1971.

2. NETCRT

This protocol will allow a Network user to simulate an (idealized) CCI alphanumeric display console and use CCN's URSA system (and eventually TS0). An initial version of NETCRT will be circulated shortly as an RFC.

3. NETTRANS

This is the "transparent" protocol allowing a user process at CCN to talk over the Network. It has not yet been specified.

4. NETTYPE

This protocol will allow a real or simulated 2741 to use TS0 (and perhaps APL) via the Network.
