The results will be   published monthly as Network Measurement notes and as RFC's.  We will   periodically open a connection on your local socket @241 (decimal),   expecting you to send the following data in the format shown:                   <duplicate pages 3-5 ofRFC 323 here>      a. Total bits sent to HOST      b. Total bits received from HOST      c. Total messages sent to HOST      d. Total messages received from HOST and optionally      e. Average Round Trip delay on send connections to HOST   The information above should be collected only for standard open   connections (i.e. those using standard NCP protocol) and not   measurement links or experimental NCP links, and in particular, not   traffic on link 0).   Another optional measurement would be to gather the distribution of   message types over link 0 over all HOSTS (i.e. not broken down by   HOST). This will reveal the relative utilization of control messages   (ALLOC should be very prevalent).   The data collected for the last 24 hour sample period should be   available from a process listening on local socket number 241 (10).Cerf                                                            [Page 1]

In the original specification, we said that the data gathering   program would ICP to some well-known socket.  We believe this to be   an unnecessary complication and instead, we will merely open a   connection on your 241 (decimal), expecting you to send data as soon   as our Allocate command is received by your NCP.  Please let me know   if this cannot be done (i.e. you need the ICP).   If you connect to UCLA-NMC socket 241, we will send you our own 24   hour data.  Anyone interested in capturing these statistics is   welcome to do so.Cerf                                                            [Page 4]

RFC 388                      NCP Statistics                  August 1972   Please note that these summarized statistics are for standard local   24 hour period (e.g. local midnight to local midnight).  They are not   for a sliding 24 hour period ending with the time at which statistics   were requested.  Also, the data is to be collected only for open   connections on links 0, 2-71.   The following are participating (others) are heartily invited):   UCLA-NMC, DMCG, LL-67.
