NWG/RFC 750 JBP 26-Sep-78 18:30 45500 Network Working Group J. Postel Request for Comments: 750 USC-ISI NIC: 45500 26 September 1978 Obsoletes: 739, 604, 503, 433, 349 ASSIGNED NUMBERS This Network Working Group Request for Comments documents the currently assigned values from several series of numbers used in network protocol implementations. This RFC will be updated periodically, and in any case current information can be obtained from Jon Postel. The assignment of numbers is also handled by Jon. If you are developing a protocol or application that will require the use of a link, socket, etc. please contact Jon to receive a number assignment. Jon Postel USC - Information Sciences Institute 4676 Admiralty Way Marina del Rey, California 90291 phone: (213) 822-1511 ARPANET mail: POSTEL@ISIB Most of the protocols mentioned here are documented in the RFC series of notes. The more prominent and more generally used are documented in the Protocol Handbook [1] prepared by the Network Information Center (NIC). In the lists that follow a bracketed number, e.g. [1], off to the right of the page indicates a reference for the listed protocol. [Page 1] NWG/RFC 750 JBP 26-Sep-78 18:30 45500 Assigned Numbers Assigned Link Numbers ASSIGNED LINK NUMBERS The word "link" here refers to a field in the original ARPANET Host/IMP interface leader. The link was originally defined as an 8 bit field. Some time after the ARPANET Host-to-Host (AHHP) protocol was defined and, by now, some time ago the definition of this field was changed to "Message-ID" and the length to 12 bits. The name link now refers to the high order 8 bits of this 12 bit message-id field. The low order 4 bits of the message-id field are to be zero unless specifically specified otherwise for the particular protocol used on that link. The Host/IMP interface is defined in BBN report 1822 [2].

For the purpose of providing services to all callers an Initial Connection Procedure ICP [1,34] is used between the user process and the server process. This list specifies the socket used by the server process as its contact socket.
