McKenzieRequest for Comments: 495                                        BBN-NETNIC #15371                                                    1 May 1973Categories: TELNET, ProtocolsReferences: RFCs 318, 435; NIC 7104                     TELNET Protocol SpecificationFollowing much discussion of TELNET via the RFC series, an open meetingwas held at UCLA on 5 March to formulate a new specification for theTELNET Protocol.  Two attached documents (TELNET Protocol Specification,NIC #15372, and TELNET Option Specifications, NIC #15373) report theresults of that meeting, which was attended by: Alex McKenzie, BBN-NET,co-chairman; Jon Postel, UCLA-NMC, co-chairman; Bob Braden, UCLA-CCN;Vint Cerf, Stanford University; Bernie Cosell, BBN-NET; Dave Crocker,UCLA-NMC; Steve Crocker, ARPA; John Davidson, Univ. of Hawaii; GaryGrossman, Univ. of Illinois; Bob Merryman, UCSD; Lou Nelson, UCLA-NMC;Mike Padlipsky, MIT-MULTICS: Milt Reese, FNW; Bob Thomas, BBN-TENEX;Steve Wolfe, UCLA-CCN.The two attached specifications referenced above have been reviewed bythe meeting attendees, and should be viewed as the "official" TELNETProtocol (subject to the implementation schedule given below).Nevertheless, these documents are still subject to minor revisions andany pertinent comments should be addressed to me at the NIC as AAM, orby mail at:                           Alex McKenzie                           Bolt Beranek and Newman Inc.                           50 Moulton Street                           Cambridge, Ma. 02138   There are two key dates for a phasing in of the new protocol:  the   date when sites should feel free to send the "new" form of TELNET   commands and special codes without expecting to receive "error"   responses, and the date when sites may remove the code which   processes the "old" form of TELNET commands.  Between these two   dates, sites may gradually implement and test the "interpreter" for   the new commands.  It was the sense of the meeting that appropriate   lead times to these two dates were about 60 and 260 days.   Accordingly, these two dates are hereby established as 1 July 1973   and 1 January 1974.McKenzie                                                        [Page 1]

RFC 495              TELNET Protocol Specification            1 May 1973   I have also attached specifications for TELNET options which allow   negotiation of:            o binary transmission            o echoing            o reconnection            o suppression of "Go Ahead"            o approximate message size            o use of a "timing mark"            o discussion of status            o extension of option code set   These specifications have been prepared by Dave Walden (BBN-NET) with   the help of Bernie Cosell, Ray Tomlinson (BBN-TENEX) and Bob Thomas;   by Jerry Burchfiel (BBN-TENEX); and by David Crocker (ULCA-NMC).  It   appears that these options cover most of the capabilities of the   current version of TELNET, with the exception of "Hide Your Input."   Dave Walden has also promised to specify the following options in the   near future:            o NVT printer line width negotiation            o NVT printer page size negotiation            o negotiation of the mapping between the line terminator              character available on a physical terminal (e.g., LF,              CR, NL) and the NVT characters to be transmitted              (e.g., CR NUL, LF, CR LF).   Dave has also announced his intent to seek collaboration with   Gary Grossman, Bob Braden, and perhaps others in defining an   EBCDIC option.  The announcement of intent to specify these   options should, of course, be seen as useful information rather   than as the granting of an "exclusive right" to Dave, or any   other author.   I gratefully acknowledge the assistance of Bernie Cosell   in the preparation of the protocol specification.
