                SITE CERTIFICATION - LINCOLN LABS 360/67



        We have exercised Lincoln Labs Network software as follows: NCP,
ICP, ASCII Telnet (user and server), login procedure, access to CMS, and
operator and console communication.  All  behave  according  to  current
specifications.

        Multiple message responses, such as  listing  users,  were  very
smooth under moderate to heavy load of the /67.

PROBLEMNetwork participants needed to know whether Lincoln Laboratory's host software behaved according to current specifications.
MECHANISMThe report says engineers exercised NCP, ICP, ASCII Telnet in user and server roles, login, CMS access, and operator and console communication.
TEST REPORTThe report says the software behaved according to specifications and multiple message responses remained smooth under moderate to heavy load. RFC 198 was later obsoleted by RFC 214.

§1Testing the Lincoln Laboratory Host

RFC 198 reports that Lincoln Laboratory's network software was exercised. The report names the host as the Lincoln Labs 360/67 and states that its tested components behaved according to current specifications.

This is a short report on tests of the 360/67's network software. The report says the tested components worked as specified.

§2What the Test Covered

The test covered NCP, ICP, ASCII Telnet as both a user and a server, the login procedure, access to CMS, and operator and console communication. The report also says that multiple message responses, such as listing users, were smooth under moderate to heavy load.

The test included network control, connection setup, Telnet, login, CMS access, and operator communication. It also checked multiple responses while the machine was busy.

§3Reported Result

The author states that the exercised software behaved according to the current specifications and that multiple message responses were smooth under moderate to heavy load. RFC 198 updates RFC 193 and was later obsoleted by RFC 214, according to the unit metadata.

The report records successful behavior for the tested software. It updates RFC 193 and was later replaced by RFC 214.
