Network Working Group J. ReynoldsRequest for Comments: 944 J. Postel ISIObsoletes: RFCs924,901,880,840 April 1985OFFICIAL ARPA-INTERNET PROTOCOLSSTATUS OF THIS MEMO This memo is an official status report on the protocols used in the ARPA-Internet community. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.INTRODUCTION This RFC identifies the documents specifying the official protocols used in the Internet. Comments indicate any revisions or changes planned. To first order, the official protocols are those in the "Internet Protocol Transition Workbook" (IPTW) dated March 1982. There are several protocols in use that are not in the IPTW. A few of the protocols in the IPTW have been revised. Notably, the mail protocols have been revised and issued as a volume titled "Internet Mail Protocols" dated November 1982. Telnet and the most useful Telnet options have been revised and issued as a volume titled "Internet Telnet Protocol and Options" (ITP) dated June 1983. Some protocols have not been revised for many years, these are found in the old "ARPANET Protocol Handbook" (APH) dated January 1978. There is also a volume of protocol related information called the "Internet Protocol Implementers Guide" (IPIG) dated August 1982. This document is organized as a sketchy outline. The entries are protocols (e.g., Transmission Control Protocol). In each entry there are notes on status, specification, comments, other references, dependencies, and contact. The STATUS is one of: required, recommended, elective, or experimental. The SPECIFICATION identifies the protocol defining documents. The COMMENTS describe any differences from the specification or problems with the protocol. The OTHER REFERENCES identify documents that comment on or expand on the protocol. The DEPENDENCIES indicate what other protocols are called upon by this protocol.Reynolds & Postel [Page 1]
Official ARPA-Internet ProtocolsRFC 944 The CONTACT indicates a person who can answer questions about the protocol. In particular, the status may be: required - all hosts must implement the required protocol, recommended - all hosts are encouraged to implement the recommended protocol, elective - hosts may implement or not the elective protocol, experimental - hosts should not implement the experimental protocol unless they are participating in the experiment and have coordinated their use of this protocol with the contact person, and none - this is not a protocol.

Official ARPA-Internet ProtocolsRFC 944NETWORK LEVEL Internet Protocol --------------------------------------------- (IP) STATUS: Required SPECIFICATION:RFC 791 (in IPTW) COMMENTS: This is the universal protocol of the Internet. This datagram protocol provides the universal addressing of hosts in the Internet. A few minor problems have been noted in this document. The most serious is a bit of confusion in the route options. The route options have a pointer that indicates which octet of the route is the next to be used. The confusion is between the phrases "the pointer is relative to this option" and "the smallest legal value for the pointer is 4". If you are confused, forget about the relative part, the pointer begins at 4. Another important point is the alternate reassembly procedure suggested inRFC 815. Some changes are in the works for the security option. Note that ICMP is defined to be an integral part of IP. You have not completed an implementation of IP if it does not include ICMP.

Official ARPA-Internet ProtocolsRFC 944 Internet Control Message Protocol --------------------------- (ICMP) STATUS: Required SPECIFICATION:RFC 792 (in IPTW) COMMENTS: The control messages and error reports that go with the Internet Protocol. A few minor errors in the document have been noted. Suggestions have been made for additional types of redirect message and additional destination unreachable messages. A proposal for two additional ICMP message types is made inRFC 917 "Internet Subnets", Address Format Request (A1=17), and Address Format Reply (A2=18). The details of these ICMP types are subject to change. Use of these ICMP types is experimental. Note that ICMP is defined to be an integral part of IP. You have not completed an implementation of IP if it does not include ICMP. OTHER REFERENCES:RFC 917 DEPENDENCIES: Internet Protocol CONTACT: Postel@USC-ISIF.ARPAReynolds & Postel [Page 5]
Official ARPA-Internet ProtocolsRFC 944HOST LEVEL User Datagram Protocol --------------------------------------- (UDP) STATUS: Recommended SPECIFICATION:RFC 768 (in IPTW) COMMENTS: Provides a datagram service to applications. Adds port addressing to the IP services. The only change noted for the UDP specification is a minor clarification that if in computing the checksum a padding octet is used for the computation it is not transmitted or counted in the length. OTHER REFERENCES: DEPENDENCIES: Internet Protocol CONTACT: Postel@USC-ISIF.ARPA Transmission Control Protocol -------------------------------- (TCP) STATUS: Recommended SPECIFICATION:RFC 793 (in IPTW) COMMENTS: Provides reliable end-to-end data stream service. Many comments and corrections have been received for the TCP specification document. These are primarily document bugs rather than protocol bugs. Event Processing Section: There are many minor corrections and clarifications needed in this section. Push: There are still some phrases in the document that give a "record mark" flavor to the push. These should be further clarified. The push is not a record mark. Urgent: Page 17 is wrong. The urgent pointer points to the last octet of urgent data (not to the first octet of non-ungent data).Reynolds & Postel [Page 6]
Official ARPA-Internet ProtocolsRFC 944 Listening Servers: Several comments have been received on difficulties with contacting listening servers. There should be some discussion of implementation issues for servers, and some notes on alternative models of system and process organization for servers. Maximum Segment Size: The maximum segment size option should be generalized and clarified. It can be used to either increase or decrease the maximum segment size from the default. The TCP Maximum Segment Size is the IP Maximum Datagram Size minus forty. The default IP Maximum Datagram Size if 576. The default TCP Maximum Segment Size is 536. For further discussion, seeRFC 879. Idle Connections: There have been questions about automatically closing idle connections. Idle connections are ok, and should not be closed. There are several cases where idle connections arise, for example, in Telnet when a user is thinking for a long time following a message from the server computer before his next input. There is no TCP "probe" mechanism, and none is needed. Queued Receive Data on Closing: There are several points where it is not clear from the description what to do about data received by the TCP but not yet passed to the user, particularly when the connection is being closed. In general, the data is to be kept to give to the user if he does a RECV call. Out of Order Segments: The description says that segments that arrive out of order, that is, are not exactly the next segment to be processed, may be kept on hand. It should also point out that there is a very large performance penalty for not doing so. User Time Out: This is the time out started on an open or send call. If this user time out occurs the user should be notified, but the connection should not be closed or the TCB deleted. The user should explicitly ABORT the connection if he wants to give up.

Official ARPA-Internet ProtocolsRFC 944 COMMENTS: The Binary Transmission, Echo, Suppress Go Ahead, Status, Timing Mark, and Extended Options List options have been recently updated and reissued. These are the most frequently implemented options. The remaining options should be reviewed and the useful ones should be revised and reissued. The others should be eliminated. The following are recommended: Binary Transmission, Echo, Suppress Go Ahead, Status, Timing Mark, and Extended Options List. OTHER REFERENCES: DEPENDENCIES: Telnet CONTACT: Postel@USC-ISIF.ARPA File Transfer Protocol --------------------------------------- (FTP) STATUS: Recommended SPECIFICATION:RFC 765 (in IPTW) COMMENTS: The protocol for moving files between Internet hosts. Provides for access control and negotiation of file parameters. There are a number of minor corrections to be made. A major change is the deletion of the mail commands, and a major clarification is needed in the discussion of the management of the data connection. Also, a suggestion has been made to include some directory manipulation commands (RFC 775). Even though the MAIL features are defined in this document, they are not to be used. The SMTP protocol is to be used for all mail service in the Internet. Data Connection Management: a. Default Data Connection Ports: All FTP implementations must support use of the default data connection ports, and only the User-PI may initiate the use of non-default ports. b. Negotiating Non-Default Data Ports: The User-PI mayReynolds & Postel [Page 15]
Official ARPA-Internet ProtocolsRFC 944 specify a non-default user side data port with the PORT command. The User-PI may request the server side to identify a non-default server side data port with the PASV command. Since a connection is defined by the pair of addresses, either of these actions is enough to get a different data connection, still it is permitted to do both commands to use new ports on both ends of the data connection. c. Reuse of the Data Connection: When using the stream mode of data transfer the end of the file must be indicated by closing the connection. This causes a problem if multiple files are to be transfered in the session, due to need for TCP to hold the connection record for a time out period to guarantee the reliable communication. Thus the connection can not be reopened at once. There are two solutions to this problem. The first is to negotiate a non-default port (as in (b) above). The second is to use another transfer mode. A comment on transfer modes. The stream transfer mode is inherently unreliable, since one can not determine if the connection closed prematurely or not. The other transfer modes (Block, Compressed) do not close the connection to indicate the end of file. They have enough FTP encoding that the data connection can be parsed to determine the end of the file. Thus using these modes one can leave the data connection open for multiple file transfers. Why this was not a problem with the old NCP FTP: The NCP was designed with only the ARPANET in mind. The ARPANET provides very reliable service, and the NCP counted on it. If any packet of data from an NCP connection were lost or damaged by the network the NCP could not recover. It is a tribute to the ARPANET designers that the NCP FTP worked so well. The TCP is designed to provide reliable connections over many different types of networks and interconnections of networks. TCP must cope with a set of networks that can not promise to work as well as the ARPANET. TCP must make its own provisions for end-to-end recovery from lost or damaged packets. This leads to the need for the connection phase-down time-out. The NCP never had to deal with acknowledgements or retransmissions or many otherReynolds & Postel [Page 16]
Official ARPA-Internet ProtocolsRFC 944 things the TCP must do to make connection reliable in a more complex world. LIST and NLST: There is some confusion about the LIST an NLST commands, and what is appropriate to return. Some clarification and motivation for these commands should be added to the specification. Multiple 1xx Replies: There is some difference of opinion about the use of multiple 1xx responses during command processing. This issue comes up particularly in processing the RETR and STOR commands. The two opinions are summarized below. For Exactly One 1xx Response: When a RETR or SEND command is started, the server is supposed to give an "intermediate reply" of 1xx when it is opening the data connection. Currently, some FTP servers give two 1xx messages. This causes problems for single-thread FTP user implementations. After reading the first intermediate reply, they go off to do the transfer. The second 1xx message is not seen until the end of the transfer. The RFC gives a state diagram of the form: --------->Wait---------> / \ ^ | | V \ / <----- This implies any number of 1xx's (including 0). There is a suspicion that this is just sloppy diagraming, and that the intent is clear from other parts of the RFC. The FTP specification states that the reason for intermediate replies is to allow implementations that can't do any better to know when to stop listening to the control channel and switch their attention to the data channel. Given this intent, it seems clear that there should be exactly one 1xx reply at the start of the transfer. The FTP specification is ambiguous in this regard. TheReynolds & Postel [Page 17]
Official ARPA-Internet ProtocolsRFC 944 state diagrams appear to sanction any number of responses. But the charts before them do not. And from the intent, it seems obvious that exactly one is the right thing. Consider an implementation on a PC. It is fairly hard to do parallel processing there. It should be possible for a PC implementation to stop paying attention to the control channel and start reading the file from the data channel when he sees the 1xx response. The only way this can work is if there is only one 1xx response. Of course, one could make it a requirement that every FTP implementation must be based on good enough interrupt technology so that it can field extra responses during the transfer. But what would such a constraint buy? Just the ability to have both a 125 and a 150 response. It doesn't seem worth the price. You could just as well combine the information in those responses into a single one. For Multiple 1xx Responses: The multiple 1xx messages arose because the new TCP specification omitted the 050 spontaneous reply code. A solution was to change an 050 informational message to a 1xx message, creating both a 125 and a 150. The state diagrams clearly allow this, and the "Command-Reply Sequences" section does not contradict it. A multiple 1xx implementation is in accord with the formal reply specifications. A multiple 1xx implementation works with the TOPS-20 FTP's and with a number of different UNIX implementations, and the LOCUS system. So, a lot of implementors must follow state diagrams in preference to prose. However, the observation is certainly correct that page 34 of the specification suggests that 1xx replies can be used by single-thread user implementations to switch attention to the data connection. This would allow only a single 1xx message, in contradiction to the state diagrams. It seems a bit strong, however, to call the one sentence on page 34 "the intent" of the specification, since it is contradicted by the format specification of replies.Reynolds & Postel [Page 18]
Official ARPA-Internet ProtocolsRFC 944 A side discussion favoring more status information: One view has always assumed a two-thread implementation. In this view, most user implementations are deficient because they do not allow the user to enter a STATUS command during data transfer. A cynic might say that is because the Computer Scientists who did these implementations only do "Toy" file transfers, and often use "Toy" operating systems. There has been some complaints from the Toy systems crowd recently that FTP is too complicated. Well, it may be too complicated for Toy systems, but in fact it is too simple for many Real file systems. For example, it has no way to encode a "library" (i.e., a named collection of subfiles). It is (barely) adequate for shipping around files of text, but not much more. With the notable exception of Multics and UNIX, many operating systems support complex file structures of which the user must be aware. One is not doing the user a favor by hiding details that may reach out and bite him. That is the reason some FTPs put out a large informative message at the beginning of the transfer, specifying the file baroqueness that is involved. As a Computer Scientist, you may find that message annoying, but if you had to use MVS very much, you would find it helpful, informative, and maybe even reassuring. Some believe that as DARPA technology moves into the production environment of DDN, there will be user requirements for such informative messages for a variety of vendor operating systems. To provide important information to the user the specification should either allow multiple 1xx messages, or restore the old spontaneous reply category. In fact, the latter is preferable; this information should be displayed to the user, but a user FTP might swallow 1xx messages without displaying their text. The Answer: Following the Robustness Principle (a protocol implementation ought to inflict minimal pain and accept maximal pain) there should be only one 1xx response. That is, those FTP servers that now issue two 1xx responses should combine them.Reynolds & Postel [Page 19]
