Network Working Group                                        R. MetcalfeRequest for Comments: 222                                    Project MACNIC: 7621                                              13 September 1971As described in RFC's #207 and #212, the next meeting of the ARPAComputer Network Working Group (NWG) will be held at MIT Project MACin Cambridge, Massachusetts, October 10-14, 1971.   The first phase of the NWG meeting is to be a workshop for a   representative group of system programmers from those sites with   operational TELNET interfaces.  From noon, Sunday, October 10, until   sometime late Monday evening, teams of workshop participants will hit   the ARPA network from MAC consoles in an intensive effort to study   its operational characteristics and to work on any remaining trouble   spots in protocols and their implementations.   Although the NWG meeting is geared for heavy attendance, our   facilities and objectives make it important that no more than a dozen   system programmers be present for the grueling workshop sessions   planned.  These system programmers should be from sites with   operational TELNET interfaces (user and/or server) and should have a   working knowledge of protocols, their own NCP's, and TELNET   implementations.  Sites wishing to send a system programmer should   leave his name and address with Anne Speare at (617) 864-6900 x1458.   In preparation for the workshop, we are working on documentation   describing our user TELNET and a site-use scenario booklet to be used   at the workshop in exercising various systems.  It is our intention   to establish a pattern of routine usage with as many sites as   possible prior to the workshop.  In developing the site-use scenario   booklet, we will be looking for advice and comment from participating   hosts.   Because the use of computers with operational network protocols is   central to the success of the workshop, we are working hard to bring   our developing system into a period of stability and are making   special arrangements for on-site hardware repair personnel.  To the   extent that participating sites can make similar preparations, the   chances for a successful workshop will be improved.   We are hoping that knowledgeable network people will be on call at   the various sites during the workshop so that there will be some hope   of fixing minor implementation problems on the fly.   We will begin the workshop at noon on Sunday, October 10 with a brief   strategy meeting in Project MAC's second floor conference room, #217,   545 Technology Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts.  Our first missionMetcalfe                                                        [Page 1]

RFC 220              System Programmer's Workshop      13 September 1971   will be to establish and exercise all possible TELNET connections   with MAC's PDP-10 (Host 70.).  When this first check-off is complete,   we will meet again to discuss difficulties and to regroup for our   second mission.  By appropriately nesting TELNET's, we will pair up   to systematically fill in the matrix of possible TELNET connections.   During the workshop we expect to be finding and fixing implementation   problems, discussing protocol, and getting an extremely valuable   introduction to the use of a wide variety of hosts.  Our experience   in the workshop will be an important input to the NWG sessions to   follow.  In particular, we are to generate specific reports for the   protocol review and status sessions.   See you then.
