Host Address Changes Involving RAND and ISI


   This week the RAND IMP was temporarily removed from the
   Network and a new IMP was installed at ISI.  Some of the
   people and computers from RAND have moved to ISI, in
   particular the RAND TENEX is now the ISI TENEX.  The address
   of the ISI IMP is 86 (decimal) and the TENEX at ISI is Host
   number one; thus the "Network Address" of the ISI TENEX is 86.
   Sometime early next week the RAND IMP will be re-installed.
   It will still be IMP number 7, and the IBM 360/65 at RAND will
   still be "Network Address" 7.

PROBLEMThe RAND IMP was temporarily removed while a new IMP was installed at ISI, and some RAND people and computers moved there.
MECHANISMThe notice gives the ISI IMP number and the Network Address for the TENEX host at ISI, then says what would happen to the RAND IMP.
WHAT CHANGEDThe RAND IMP was expected to return as number 7, while the IBM 360/65 at RAND would keep address 7. The unit metadata says RFC 405 updates this notice.

§1The Move from RAND to ISI

The RAND IMP was temporarily removed from the network, and a new IMP was installed at ISI. Some people and computers from RAND moved to ISI. The RAND TENEX is now the ISI TENEX.

The RAND TENEX computer moved to ISI, where a new network connection point was installed. The old RAND connection was temporarily taken out.

§2The ISI TENEX Address

The ISI IMP has number 86 in decimal. The TENEX at ISI is Host number one, so the notice gives its Network Address as 86.

The ISI connection is numbered 86. The notice gives the TENEX computer there the Network Address 86.

§3The Expected Return of the RAND IMP

The notice says the RAND IMP is expected to be re-installed early the following week. It will still be IMP number 7, and the IBM 360/65 at RAND will still have Network Address 7.

The RAND connection is expected to return as number 7. The IBM 360/65 there is expected to keep Network Address 7.
