INTRODUCTION
This is a guide to implementations and products associated with the DoD
Defense Data Network (DDN) suite of data communication protocols, notably
TCP/IP and OSI implementations. It is published for informational purposes
only by SRI International on behalf of the Defense Communications System
Data Systems (DCS DS) Office to assist those wishing to identify existing
implementations or products incorporating the DoD protocols.
The guide has four major sections.
Section One contains background information about DoD protocols, DDN
protocol policy, and qualification testing and evaluation procedures. It
also explains how to obtain specific DoD protocol specifications and
related documentation.
Sections Two through Four contain the implementation descriptions. Section
Two lists software implementations, sorted alphabetically by company
machine type. The Digital Equipment Corporation and IBM Corporation
sections cover a wide range of machinery software from PC/compatibles to
minis and mainframes; each is listed alphabetically within each machine
category. A "Multiple Machine Implementations" list completes the Software
section.
Section Three contains hardware implementations sorted alphabetically by
company machine type and concludes with a list of multiple machine
implementations.
Section Four, called Analysis Tools, covers the field of network analysis
products, notably protocol and network analyzers. See also RFC 1147,
"Network Management Tool Catalog," containing a listing of many products
available.
The index at the back of the book can assist in locating particular
implementations. It is sorted by operating system, machine type, company
name and important keywords such as "X.25," "OSI," and "Gateway."
This document is available to Internet users as a public file on the
NIC.DDN.MIL host (192.67.67.20). The file can be copied via FTP or KERMIT
using the pathname: NETINFO:VENDORS-GUIDE.DOC.

1. BACKGROUND
1.1. The DoD Protocol Suite
In 1982 the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP) were designated official
DoD network communication protocols by the Office of the Secretary of
Defense (OSD). These protocols are currently in use by the DDN, as is a
DoD version of X.25. In late 1987 DoD began its transition to
international protocols. (See Section 1.1.3 below.) Subscribers to the
DDN need implementations and vendor products that incorporate both the
TCP/IP and the OSI-based protocols, and protocols that assist with
conversion between the two. This guide provides a list of such
implementations and products.
1.1.1. DoD Protocol Selection and Announcement Procedures
Official Military Standard (MIL-STD) protocols are selected through a
rigorous review process by the military services and the Defense
Communications Agency (DCA). Once selected, they are deposited at the
Naval Publications and Forms Center and are announced in the catalogs
published by that organization as official military standards. See Section
1.3.1 for guidelines on ordering MIL-STDs.
The Department of Defense and each branch of the military have their own
protocol announcement procedures as do non-military government agencies,
such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, formerly
the National Bureau of Standards). Commercial, national, and international
standards organizations also have their own review and announcement
procedures. See IEEE Communications Magazine, Vol. 23, No. 1, 43-55
(January 1985) for an excellent overview of the standardization practices
of the various protocol standardization bodies within and outside of DoD.
1.1.2. OSD Directives
A number of memoranda from the Office of the Secretary of Defense have been
issued which are specific policy statements regarding the DoD protocols.
These memoranda are available via FTP, KERMIT or SERVICE, the NIC's
automatic electronic mail service, from the NIC.DDN.MIL host computer using
the following pathnames:

1.1.3. DoD Plans for the Transition to International Protocols
Vendors and implementors should be aware that the DoD has recently
announced that it intends to transition to international protocols, when
and if these protocols meet the requirements of the DoD. It is anticipated
that any such transition will take place gradually and will not
significantly impact the functionality, or the current level of
interoperability on the DDN. To assist with this transition, this guide
will include transition products as they are developed.
The following is an extract from a memorandum from the office of the
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Command, Control, Communications and
Intelligence that specifically addresses the Department of Defense plans to
transition from the current suite of military standard data communications
protocols based on the TCP/IP protocols to the suite of networking
protocols based on the international standards. (Available online in its
entirety as PROTOCOLS:OSDIR-12-88.TXT from the NIC.DDN.MIL host computer.)

M E M O R A N D U M
MEMORANDUM FOR:
SECRETARIES OF THE MILITARY DEPARTMENTS
CHAIRMAN, JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF
DIRECTORS, DEFENSE AGENCIES
SUBJECT: Open Systems Interconnection Protocols
From now until August 1990, the OSI protocols specified in GOSIP are
adopted as a full co-standard to the Department of Defense protocols which
provide similar services (MIL-STDs 1777, 1778, 1780, and 178l). During
this period the DoD protocols may continue to be specified in addition to,
in lieu of, or as an optional alternative to the corresponding OSI
4
protocols. Effective August 1990, the OSI protocols specified in GOSIP
become the sole mandatory interoperable protocol suite and must be included
in all proposals for new automated information systems and major upgrades
which require net- work services. After that time DoD protocols may
continue to be acquired in addition to the OSI protocols when required to
support operational needs. OSI protocols which provide additional
functionality will be added to GOSIP as implementation specifications for
these protocols are developed. These protocols must be cited in all
proposals eighteen months following their adoption into GOSIP.
The Department of Defense OSI Implementation Strategy was published by the
Defense Communications Agency in May 1988 to establish the OSI protocols as
a military co-standard with the current DoD protocols and to provide
guidance for implementing DoD/OSI protocol interoperability in DoD
networks. The Services and agencies should use this document in developing
information systems requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.1.4. Government OSI Profile (GOSIP)
A Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) has been issued by the
National Bureau of Standards (NBS) for GOSIP in the Federal Register, V52,
Vo. 208, Oct. 28, 1987.
This FIPS proposes a Federal Information Processing Standard for a
Government Open Systems Interconnection Profile (GOSIP) and outlines the
policy of the Federal government, including the DoD transition from TCP/IP
to ISO international protocols.
The GOSIP cites the Implementation Agreements for Open Systems
Interconnection Protocols, the Manufacturing Automation Protocol (MAP) and
Technical and Office Protocols (TOP) specifications, as well as the
numerous federal standards, military standards, and international standards
from ISO and CCITT upon which the "Workshop Agreements" are based.
GOSIP supports the Message Handling Systems (MHS) and File Transfer,
Access, and Management applications (FTAM). GOSIP also supports
interconnection of the following network technologies: CCITT
Recommendation X.25; Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection
(IEEE 802.3); Token Bus (IEEE 802.4); and Token Ring (IEEE 802.5).
Additional applications and network technologies will be added to later
versions of the GOSIP document or vendor products in which such protocols
are embedded.
1.2. The Defense Data Network (DDN)
All equipment attached to the DDN by military subscribers must incorporate,
or be compatible with, the DoD internet and transport protocols. In
addition, the OSI message handling and file transfer protocols, together
with their underlying protocols as defined in GOSIP, have been adopted as
experimental co-standards to the DoD protocols.
Potential implementors should be aware that protocol implementations for
use in the DoD environment MUST comply with the MIL-STD versions of the
protocol specifications. It is also important that the LATEST version of
these specifications be used. Most of the protocol documents needed for
implementation purposes are included in the DDN Protocol Handbook issued by
the DDN Network Information Center. This handbook can serve as a useful
reference to DoD protocols; however, implementors using this or any other
similar document should always check to see if there are any later protocol
or policy changes that apply.
1.2.1. DDN Protocol Conformance Testing
Subscriber interfaces which are to be used on the DDN must be qualified by
meeting a series of performance tests. The results of these tests must
satisfy a Technical Acceptance Team made up of personnel from the DCS DS,
the Defense Communications Engineering Center (DCEC), or other appropriate
assignees. The DCS DS has the final approving authority for subscriber
6
interface qualification.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), under contract
to the Defense Communications Agency/Defense Communications Engineering
Center (DCA/DCEC), has established a National Volunteer Laboratory
Accreditation Program (NVLAP) to provide standardized test procedures for
military standard data communications protocols. NVLAP accredits
organizations to perform conformance tests of specific protocols. It is
required that such conformance testing be performed prior to first
operational use of the protocols on any DoD network for those contracts
executed after 1 June 1989. These tests apply to the protocols specified
in MIL-STDs 1777 (Internet Protocol), 1778 (Transmission Control Protocol),
1780 (File Transfer Protocol), 1781 (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), and
1782 (Telnet Protocol). Organizations are also accredited to test the X.25
interface protocol.
Further details regarding the conformance testing requirements can be found
in the 26 August 1988 Memorandum issued by the office of the Assistant
Secretary of Defense titled "Conformance Testing of Military Standard Data
Communications Protocol Implementations." This document can be found
online at the NIC.DDN.MIL host as PROTOCOLS:OSIDR-8-88.TXT.
This Guide is not the official "Defense Data Network (DDN) X.25 Qualified
Host Interfaces" list. That list is issued periodically as a DCA memo.
For information on how to acquire the list, contact the DDN Network
Information Center.

2.2.2.2. TCPort Developers Kit
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: TCPort Developers Kit
DESCRIPTION:
TCPort Developers Kit is a software platform for the development
of distributed Macintosh network applications running on top of
TCP/IP, a de facto protocol standard for networking multiple
dissimilar hosts. TCPort consists of two parts: (1) a choice of
two basic TCP/IP transport systems, one provided by Novell and one
from Apple Computer, and (2) an application programming interface
(API). The TCP/IP transport system, which includes drivers for
TCP,IP and UDP, provides seamless TCP/IP connectivity, allowing
Macintoshes to communicate with other TCP/IP hosts, servers and
workstations on a network.
The 4.3 BSD socket library API assists programmers and
developers in developing distributed TCP/IP applications for the
Macintosh. This socket model gives developers who are accustomed
to the standard UNIX programming evironment a consistent means of
accessing the transport protocol layer. The socket model is
compatible with both the TCPort trnsport system from Novell and the
MacTCP transport software from Apple. Having this compatibiltiy
within the socket library enables a resulting application to run
without concern as to which driver is installed. Developers then
have a set of choices to use sockets if they choose, and with the
proper licensing, to ship either or both drivers with their
application.

2.3.1. BBN-TOPS-20
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: BBN-TOPS-20
DESCRIPTION:
The TOPS20 Internetworking software supports multiple networks,
multiple interfaces on a single network, and multiple protocol
suites. Included in the standard distribution are an interface to
1822 nets via an AN20, an interface to a network front-end via a
DTE20, and the DARPA protocol suite.
The DARPA IP, ICMP, TCP, Server TELNET protocols are included
within the TOPS20 monitor; other protocols are implemented as user
application processes. The IP module supports a routing cache
maintained via ICMP redirect NET and HOST messages. It performs
fragmentation and reassembly, implements all options except MTU
Discovery, and can forward traffic between any of the host's
interfaces. Applications may interface to the IP layer using User
Queues.
All ICMP messages except Address Mask are supported; error
messages may be sent by any of the protocol layers; higher layers
are notified when a message is received concerning one of their
packets. Messages can be sent by applications using the User Queue
facility.
Applications can interface to TCP either as a read/write file or
via multiple buffers. The TCP layer supports IP routing options,
ICMP destination unreachable, source quench, and redirects which
specify a type-of-service, and the segment size option. Support
for preemption, precedence, and security options is delegated to
the application. Telnet supports options and subnegotiations.
There is extensive inter-layer flow control, error reporting,
and monitoring. Utilities are available to provide information,
list monitoring data, and perform diagnostics.
DEC has distributed a prior version of this implementation as
part of its standard TOPS20-AN monitor.

2.4. CRAY RESEARCH, INC.
2.4.1. Cray TCP/IP
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: UNICOS TCP/IP
DESCRIPTION:
UNICOS TCP/IP is the integrated networking protocol for the Cray
operating system UNICOS. This implementation of TCP/IP is based on
the Berkeley 4.3BSD tahoe distribution and contains support for the
IP, ICMP, TCP, UDP, and SMTP protocols. Most of the BSD utilities
are also supported, including telnet, ftp, rcp, rsh, rlogin, rexec,
lpr, lpq, lprm, talk, ntalk, netstat, sendmail, finger, and ping.
Other supported features including both internet and UNIX domain
sockets, subnet address, and the domain name server named and inetd
support.
Several performance improvements have been incorporated
including both the Berkeley Van Jacobson enhancements and
additional improvements made by Cray. The Van Jacobson
enhancements are slow start TCP congestion control, round trip time
variance estimation, exponential, retransmit timer backoff, dynamic
TCP window sizing congestion control, and the fast retransmit
algorithm. Cray has added a Cray specific mbuf management scheme
plus extensive use of the Cray scalar, vector CPT hardware, and the
fast I/O hardware. The combination of these improvements have
resulted in TCP transfer rates reaching over 500 hundred megabits
per second in software loopback.
The TCP protocols and utilities conform to the Internet RFC
specifications, and DOD MIL-STD-1777 and MIL-STD-1778.
In combination with UNICOS TCP/IP, support is also available for
SUN client and server NFS, SUN RPC/XDR, a special User and Group id
mapping capability, Yellow Pages as an optional method for
authenticating user passwords, Lock Manager, and REX. The MIT
X-Windows System Version ll, Release 3 is also available.
Network media support is provided for the Cray FEI-3 Network
Interface for VME based systems, the Cray HSX 100 Megabyte per
second High Speed Channel, NSC HYPERChannel A-Series and NSC
HYPERChannel DX equipment, CNT LANlord products, and Ethernet thru
Cray channel connected gateway devices from NSC and CNT.

2.6.1.1. MIT Chives
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: CHIVES (MIT domain resolver for TOPS-20)
DESCRIPTION:
Implementation of Domain Name System (RFC-1034/1035) resolver
and supporting software for TOPS-20. Implements full-service
domain resolver, with support for arbitrary search paths, negative
response caching, and automaticly scalable internal database. Two
interfaces are provided: a raw IPCF interface, and a new TOPS-20
monitor call, GTDOM%, which provides all the useful functions of
the standard DEC GTHST% call plus some new functions to support the
Stanford FTP client and the MM-20 mailsystem (q.v.).
CHIVES does not currently have a name server interface (i.e., it
can act as a DNS client but not as a DNS server). CHIVES was
written with the intent that it be portable, particularly to other
PDP-10 operating systems, but so far noone as ported it beyond
TOPS-20. If you are interested in remedying either of these
deficiencies, please contact
[email protected], we'd like to
hear from you.
DOCUMENTATION:
Some documentation is provided with source distribution.
Detailed installation instructions are provided, along with a guide
to the various GTDOM% options. You're on your own after that.
MACHINE TYPE:

DESCRIPTION:
DESCRIPTION:
2.10 BSD TCP/IP is a fairly complete port of 4.3 BSD and
includes the 4.3 BSD TCP/IP, with minor exceptions, and a few
programs eliminated due to address space considerations. It
provides support for TCP, IP, ICMP, and UDP with user and server
programs for Telnet, FTP, TFTP and SMTP. Hardware supported
includes 10M bit/s Ethernet (5 different controllers), 3M bit/s
Ethernet, and SLIP. The 2.10 BSD TCP/IP runs in supervisor mode.
Drivers for Proteon ProNET and ACC and DEC/CSS IMP Interfaces are
provided, although some work will be required to integrate them
into the system. 2.10 BSD only runs on split I/D machines; it
could probably be made to run on non-split I/D PDP-11's, although
such a system could not include networking.

2.8.4.2. SRI Multinet NFS Client
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: MultiNet NFS Client
DESCRIPTION:
The MultiNet NFS Client for VAX/VMS computer systems allows VMS
applications to transparently access files stored on NFS servers.
The NFS Client can mount remote file systems on any system that has
an NFS server. The NFS Client device driver provides a standard
file system interface and is called automatically by the normal VMS
Record Management Services (RMS).
Remote NFS servers supporting full UNIX (NFS) file system
semantics appear to VAX/VMS systems as fully-functional Files-11
ODS-2 file systems. This includes multinet file versions and
arbitrary RMS file attributes. Text files created on an NFS server
by the VAX/VMS client system appear as Stream_LF format files to
the client. On the server, they appear as normal "stream" files,
thus allowing them to be shared with applications running on the
NFS server and other (including non-VMS) NFS clients. Other
VAX/VMS file types are stored on the NFS server as "raw" VMS data
blocks plus information about the RMS file attributes. This
permits other VAX/VMS clients to share these files on the NFS
server and non-VMS systems to access the data, provided the non-VMS
systems are capable of interpreting the "raw" VMS data blocks.
The MultiNet NFS Client runs on top of the MultiNet
multi-protocol networking software for VAX/VMS system (described in
detail in its own section elsewhere in this manual). MultiNet and
the MultiNet NFS Client support the full range of VAX processors
running VAX/VMS version V4.5 or greater (including symmetrical
multiprocessing support under VAX/VMS Version 5).

RI Multinet NFS Server
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: MultiNet NFS Server
DESCRIPTION:
The MultiNet NFS Server is a high-performance multi-threaded
kernel-based NFS server for VAX/VMS computer systems. The NFS
Server maps the complete UNIX file system semantics onto the VMS
file system, including symbolic and hard links, making a VMS file
system look exactly like a UNIX file system. All VMS text files
are type-converted to look like UNIX stream files for maximum
interoperability. The NFS Server uses a file and directory cache
between the file system and the network to mask VMS bottlenecks
from the requesting UNIX machine. The NFS Server uses a
proprietary XDR serializer to move data directly between the file
system cache and the network buffers. By default, the cache
functions as a write-through cache, but can be configured as a
write-back cache to increase performance.
The MultiNet NFS Server can export all Files-11 ODS-2 VMS
volumes, including shadow sets, bound volumes, and DFS-served
disks.
The MultiNet NFS Server distribution also includes a PC-NFS
authentication and print server (PCNFSD). It allows IBM PCs and
compatibles running NFS client software to access NFS served
filesystems a though they are local DOS disk drives. PCNFSD
supports printing from PC clients to VMS print queues.
The MultiNet NFS Server runs on top of the MultiNet
multi-protocol networking software for VAX/VMS system (described in
detail in its own section elsewhere in this manual). MultiNet and
the MultiNet NFS Server support the full range of VAX processors
running VAX/VMS version V4.5 or greater (including symmetrical
multiprocessing support under VAX/VMS Version 5).

2.8.7.1. TCPware for VMS
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: TCPware for VMS
DESCRIPTION:
TCPware for VMS is a family of highly modular TCP/IP networking
software products designed and engineered exclusively for the
VAX/VMS environment. The products support all major TCP/IP user and
server protocols on a variety of network interface hardware. The
following software products are members of the TCPware for VMS
family:
1. - FTP-VMS
2. - NFS-VMS
3. - SMTP-VMS
4. - TCP-VMS
5. - TELNET-VMS
As a result of the native VMS designs, every TCPware for VMS
product provides unsurpassed performance, efficiency, and
reliability. Every TCPware for VMS product is also easy to install
and operate, and they use DEC's recommended VMSINSTAL procedure for
automatic and trouble-free user installation.
The TCP-VMS product provides the network (IP, ICMP, ARP) and
host layer protocols (TCP, UPD), Domain Name Services, QIO and UNIX
socket library interfaces, and a variety of support utilities for
network startup, shutdown, gateway operation, and general network
monitoring and management. A fully compliant DECwindows transport
interface for VMS V5.3 or later is also included.
Many other protocols (BOOTPD, TFTP, WHOIS, etc.) are also
supported by TCP-VMS. TCP-VMS has complete SLIP support for both
dialup and dedicated serial lines, and an easy-to-use programmable
IP interface that can be used to add full TCP/IP networking
services on nearly any type of network interface available (such as
X.25, T1, etc.). TCP-VMS also supports IP over DECnet, enabling
separate TCP/IP LANs to be connected over WAN DECnet links.
In addition to supporting all standard DEC Ethernet interfaces,
TCP-VMS is able to share the same Ethernet interface hardware and
operate concurrently with other protocol software (such as DECnet,
LAT, and LAVC).
The IP, TCP, and UDP protocol layers (together with ARP and
74
ICMP) in TCP-VMS are implemented as true VMS I/O drivers running in
kernel mode. Because TCP-VMS is engineered to take advantage of the
VAX architecture and the VMS operating system, it provides high
thruput with low CPU overhead and minimum memory resources.
The FTP-VMS product provides both user and server file transfer
support. Both a native VMS and a UNIX-style command interface are
provided for user initiated file transfers. FTP-VMS also supports
full file protection (both ACL and UIC) exactly as DECnet does,
preventing unauthorized file access from remote users.
FTP-VMS has a complete online help facility, and it supports any
number of simultaneous users with any number of simultaneous FTP
connections, limited only by available VAX system resources.
FTP-VMS has been shown to operate faster than other software and
hardware implementations.
The NFS-VMS product is a full-featured NFS server that provides
transparent access to VMS directories and files for authorized NFS
hosts and users. NFS-VMS has been designed with both performance
and security in mind. Users can increase NFS performance through a
number of tuning parameters, such as datagram sizes, cache sizes,
number of server threads, etc. Security features such as PROXY and
EXPORT databases, NFS rights identifiers, and security logging of
access violations are used to protect the VMS file system. NFS-VMS
also supports the popular PC-NFS protocol.
The SMTP-VMS product provides complete support of the Simple
Mail Transfer Protcol (SMTP) through the standard VMS MAIL
messaging system. SMTP-VMS supports ARPA internet address and
message formats, and it lets users access other SMTP mail systems
either locally or across the Internet.
All of the features of VMS MAIL are available transparently to
process SMTP-VMS messages, including distribution name lists,
automatic notification of incoming mail, reading and editing mail
messages, etc. SMTP-VMS also provides immediate delivery of
outgoing mail messages, and it defers delivery to unavailable
hosts. A number of run-time parameters can be set to customize
SMTP-VMS, such as connection timeout values, delivery check and
retry intervals, and maximum message life.
The TELNET-VMS product provides complete virtual terminal
networking for both server and user TELNET functions. The
highly-efficient TELNET server has been designed for high-bandwidth
applications. The server is implemented as a VMS I/O driver, and it
operates with only minimal CPU overhead. User TELNET functions are
supported with a versatile and powerful utility used to establish
TELNET connections with remote systems. The utility supports
multi-line recall, startup command files, online help, definable
keys, VMS process spawning, control character mapping, and much
more.
The TELNET-VMS product also supports application programmers
75
with a full set of library routines that can establish and maintain
TELNET connections with remote hosts.
The above FTP, NFS, SMTP, and TELNET-VMS products provide a
superior method of networking, since they can be used either
standalone or in any combination, making them ideal for
applications that may need to grow.
And all TCPware for VMS products protect a user's investment,
since they are designed and engineered for superior performance,
efficiency, and reliability at competitive costs.

2.14. IBM/COMPATIBLES
2.14.1. PC/COMPATIBLES
2.14.1.1. Amateur Radio KA9Q TCP/IP
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: KA9Q/NET
DESCRIPTION:
This package provides the Internet protocols on the IBM PC
running MS-DOS. It was designed primarily for amateur packet radio
use. Except where otherwise noted, it was designed and written by
Phil Karn, KA9Q (
[email protected]).
The following protocols are included:
1. SMTP client and server. The server does not support aliasing
or forwarding; all recipients must be local. A standalone command
for sending mail is included in the distribution; it was written by
Bdale Garbee, N3EUA (bdale%
[email protected]).
2. FTP client and server. Image and ASCII types are supported.
There is no access control as yet on the server (this is difficult
to do under MS-DOS).
3. Telnet client and "server". The client understands the ECHO
option. The "server" merely allows for keyboard-to-keyboard
chatting, since MS-DOS isn't a timesharing system.
4. TCP echo and discard servers.
5. TCP. Multiple connections are supported. A lot of work has
gone into tuning the implementation for operation over a VERY bad
path, namely the amateur packet radio channel.
6. UDP.
7. IP/ICMP. At present only manually specified default and
host-specific routing table entries are supported ("fully connected
subnets" do not as yet exist in amateur packet radio). Most of the
useful IP and ICMP options are supported.
8. Ethernet/ARP, for the 3-Com 3C-500 controller.
9. SLIP, compatible with Rick Adam's driver under Berkeley UNIX.
The PC's regular asynchronous adapter ports are used.
10. AX.25/ARP, a special serial line mode for operation atop the
amateur packet radio link level protocol AX.25. IP datagrams are
95
encapsulated in AX.25 UI (connectionless) frames. ARP resolves IP
addresses into AX.25 callsigns. The resulting packets are sent out
the asynch port in SLIP-style framing to a TNC (Terminal Node
Controller) which reformats them in HDLC and does the actual
transmission. "KISS TNC" code by Mike Chepponis, K3MC
(
[email protected]) for the TAPR TNC-2 is included in the
distribution.
There is as yet no support for domain names; hosts are specified
by their IP addresses. Internally, the package is structured as a
simple commutator loop with extensive use of upcalls between
adjacent layers. Additional applications are fairly easy to add if
they are structured as event-driven state machines.
DOCUMENTATION:
Several text files (user's guide, programming reference, etc)
are included in the distribution.
96
MACHINE-TYPE/CPU:
IBM PC, PC/XT, PC/AT and compatibles, with either a 3-Com 3C-500
(for Ethernet) or the standard 8250 IBM serial I/O ports (for SLIP
and KISS/AX.25). The code has been successfully ported to other
processors, including big-endian machines such as the 68000.

2.14.11. The Software Group Ltd.
2.14.11.1. Netcom II
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: Netcom II
DESCRIPTION:
Netcom II connects 286 or 386-based computers running UNIX to public
packet-switched data networks around the world. Netcom II is a complete
implementation of the X.25 protocol for AT-bus and MCA machines. Netcom II
runs under the following operating systems:
- AT & T UNIX V 3.2
- Interactive Systems 386/ix 1.0.x and 2.0.x
- SCO UNIX V 3.2
- SCO Xenix 386 and 286
Netcom II operates as either a packet-mode DTE or DCE, using either the 198
or 1984 versions of the X.25 protocol.
PAD SUPPORT FOR CONNECTIVITY
Remote users connecting from asynchronous terminals via PADs can log in t
a machine equipped with Netcom II and use all UNIX utilities or
applications programs. Netcom II maps stty calls which modify TERMIO
flags to commands to the remote PAD in order to reduce packet charges and
response time.
Netcom II also provides a PAD utility which users can connect to remote
hosts.
AUTOMATIC FILE TRANSFER
Using our tty interface, uucp can carry files across packet network
connections to other machines supporting uucp.
Both electronic mail and remote printers can use these facilities for fil
transfer.
OPEN SYSTEMS INTERCONNECTION PROTOCOLS
X.25 corresponds to the lowest three layers (Physical, Link, and Network)
of the Open Systems Interconnection communications architecture. As
Netcom II supplies an application interface which gives the programmer
full control over Switched Virtual Circuit connections, it greatly reduce
the effort required to develop OSI applications.
INCOMING CALL CONTROL
A UNIX application can arrange to be informed of each and every call whic
arrives from the network. The application can choose to clear or accept
the call, pass it to another application, or switch it to login.
We supply a table-driven incoming call daemon, X25daemon, which provides
method for routing calls based on addressing information, call user data,
or subnet addresses.

2.15.2.1. Mitek OpenConnect Systems TELNET/FTP CLIENTS, FTP SERVER and FTP
BATCH
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: TELNET/FTP CLIENTS, FTP SERVER and FTP BATCH
ENHANCEMENT FOR MVS
DESCRIPTION:
Mitek's TELNET/FTP Clients are IBM host software options that
execute as TSO commands. Since both applications reside under TSO,
the standard IBM environment is preserved. Communication is
provided to the IBM systems through VTAM. Mitek's OpenConnect
Server attaches to the IBM host as an IBM PU type 2 device and
provides the SNA to TCP/IP network interface.
Mitek's TSO Telnet Client application allows a 3270 terminal to
emulate a line-mode terminal on the TCP/IP network. In this mode,
the 3270 terminal has access to all applications on any of the
TCP/IP network processors or other gateways such as DDN that
support TELNET terminals. The TELNET Client application is
accessible from any terminal on the SNA network.
With Mitek's TSO FTP Client application, files can be
transferred to or from any processor on the TCP/IP network. Any
3270 on the SNA network, any terminal using Mitek's PS 3270
emulation on the TCP/IP network, or any terminal using Mitek's
TELNET Server can initiate the FTP File Transfer. The FTP File
Transfer feature has options for source or binary code transmission
and for insertion or stripping of carriage returns.
Like the FTP Client, the FTP Batch enhancement under MVS is used
to transfer files to or from any processor on a TCP/IP network.
However, FTP Batch allows the user to sequentially transfer
numerous files automatically, rather than interactively transfer
one file at a time.
Mitek's FTP Server resides on the IBM host and carries out file
transfer requests from Ethernet hosts.

2.15.2.2. Mitek Systems TELNET Server Version 3
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: TELNET Server Version 3
DESCRIPTION:
TELNET Server Version 3 is an optional software feature
available for Mitek Systems' OpenConnect Server Models M2030 and
M2130. This option permits terminals or systems on a TCP/IP
network which support a TELNET client to connect to the SNA Network
Server and use the full-screen SNA 3270 emulation in the Server to
access IBM mainframes or midrange systems on an SNA Network.
TELNET Server Version 3 emulates an IBM 3278 Model 2.
Most importantly, TELNET Server Version 3 allows asynchronous
applications on the IBM mainframe to access asynchronous terminals
on a TCP/IP network. The product provides high-speed graphics
passthru from IBM mainframes to any asynchronous terminal or
workstation.
TELNET Server Version 3 supports Tektronix CX graphics
applications on the IBM host, which means that any user who is
operating a computer running TCP/IP and a telnet client with a
terminal capable of interpreting Tektronix graphics can have access
to the graphics applications on the IBM mainframe. Telnet Server
Version 3 high-speed graphics passthru can operate under either MVS
or VM. Telnet Server Version 3 also supports TN3270.

2.15.2.3. Mitek OpenConnect Systems Telnet Client Full Screen Option
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: Telnet Client Full Screen Option
DESCRIPTION:
Up until now, in order to have full screen access to
asynchronous networks or computer systems, you needed to have an
asynchronous terminal installed alongside your IBM 3270-type
terminal.
Not any more.
With Mitek's Telnet Client Full Screen software, you can allow
your IBM 3270 to connect to asychronous systems on the Ethernet
Network, whenever you choose.
Mitek's Telnet Client Full Screen is the software innovation
that enables any IBM 3270 terminal to have full screen access to
asychronous computer applications on an Ethernet Network. When
Mitek's Telnet Client Full Screen software is installed, the
asychronous system residing on the Ethernet Network sees your IBM
3270 as if it were an asynchronous ASCII terminal.
Telnet Client Full Screen resides on IBM systems which run the
VM and MVS operating systems as well as VTAM. Telnet Client Full
Screen also supports the TN3270 Client.

DESCRIPTION:
K-Talk is a software development platform that enables the
development of AppleTalk-based applications for UNIX hosts. K-Talk
consists of two parts: user libraries available from Mt. Xinu; and
kernel modifications for the UNIX operating system. The user
libraries give programmers the ability to write applications based
on AppleTalk protocols running on UNIX, and the kernel
modifications allow the UNIX Ethernet driver to recognize AppleTalk
as a valid protocol type, allowing Macintosh applications to
communicate using AppleTalk. UNIX hosts appear as AppleTalk nodes
on an Ethernet network. UNIX vendors who have licensed K-Talk
include TOPS, Sun Microsystems, Inc., Pyramid Technology, and
Integrated Solutions. K-Talk is also available on ULTRIX-based
Digital VAXes.

2.24.2.5. Unisys A Series Systems
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: A Series TCP/IP
DESCRIPTION:
The Unisys A Series TCP/IP product augments the BNA network
products by supporting communication with other Unisys systems and
other vendor systems employing DDN protocols. DDN software is
implemented partly in the mainframe and partly in the CP2000
communications processor. The DDN connections provided are the
standard X.25 IMP and other X.25 packet network interfaces at
speeds up to 64 Kbps, and IEEE 802.3 local area network interfaces
at 10 Mbps. Telnet, FTP, and SMTP protocols and programmatic
interfaces to multiple layers are supported above TCP/IP and are
integral to BNA Host Services. Several mainframes may access the
DDN through the same CP2000 via an IEEE 802.3 LAN, in which case
the communications processor supports the EGP protocol. Multiple
X.25 connections may be supported by a single CP2000 communications
processor. In addition, the CP2000 communications processor can
support attachment to an IEEE 802.3 LAN and uses Ethernet
compatible frames and the ARP protocol. BNA sessions are supported
using the DDN or IEEE 802.3 LAN for transport between BNA nodes.

2.27.6. RESEARCH TRIANGLE INSTITUTE
2.27.6.1. Research Triangle Institute FREEDOMNET
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: FREEDOMNET
DESCRIPTION:
FREEDOMNET is a software subsystem developed by the Research
Triangle Institute that can be added to physically interconnected,
heterogeneous UNIX-based computers to allow a user to access the
resources of all of the computers in the network in a transparent
manner. FREEDOMNET hides issues of inter-processor communications
and network protocols from the user and is applicable to a wide
variety of both local and wide-area networks.
All standard UNIX features are unchanged by FREEDOMNET software
in form and meaning, with inter-machine communication taking place
as necessary. With FREEDOMNET software, it is possible, for
example, for a user to access files and peripheral devices on a
remote machine by specifying a directory on a remote machine as
being his current working directory, requesting execution of a
program on a remote machine, or redirecting input and/or output.
These standard UNIX features can be used without the user's
conscious concern for the fact that several machines and their
peripherals may be involved. FREEDOMNET preserves all UNIX
semantics in order to achieve transparency.
Because FREEDOMNET preserves all UNIX semantics, it provides
true transparency from the user's point of view. This includes
transparency in a heterogeneous environment where differences in
machine architecture (and UNIX implementation) must be masked. The
FREEDOMNET "stateful" server approach allows for remote device
sharing and for remote execution of programs. The fact that the
standard UNIX file naming syntax is used to refer to remote files
and devices makes FREEDOMNET very easy to learn and use
effectively. In addition, existing programs (UNIX commands and
user-written applications) can be made "distributable" without
modification due to the consistent naming scheme and preservation
of all UNIX semantics. FREEDOMNET provides a basis for
implementing high-performance, fault tolerant, and secure
distributed computing systems.
FREEDOMNET is added to the UNIX kernel much like a standard
device driver. No kernel source changes are required. FREEDOMNET
uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) on Ethernet, but is
implemented so as to be independent of network hardware and
protocols.

2.27.9. U.C. BERKELEY
2.27.9.1. TN3270
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: TN3270
DESCRIPTION:
Version 4.1 of tn3270 is now available. Tn3270 emulates an IBM
3278 over TCP/IP.
Significant features to tn3270 are:
- Error messages, in English, overlay a portion of the screen
when the user types an erroneous entry (invalid control
sequence, attempt to enter data in an "input disallowed"
field, etc.).
- Ability to "escape to shell". This, by itself, is mostly
useful in a non-BSD system.
- An Application Programming Interface (API). This allows
programs, running under Unix, to read and write the 3270
screen, and to send keystrokes (3270) to tn3270. This makes
use of the "escape to shell" feature. Included in the
distribution is a program which uses the API to receive files
sent from the IBM host (we don't supply the IBM side at this
point, and the protocol is likely to change in the future).
- Yale ASCII/7171/4994 "transparent" mode is fully implemented.
SAS-Graph, for example, supports doing graphics to TEK
terminals over this interface. Locally, we use the X
windowing system terminal emulator (xterm), which provides
some TEK emulation, to display SAS-Graph graphics on our
workstations.
- Mset now prints out program function (PF) keys in numerical
order.

surveillance and management. Much of this interaction is automatic,
consisting of status, abnormal event and control messages.
o Certified to operate on secure networks:
- Blacker compatible
- Operates with KG84 equipment
- Tempest Certified
- EMI/HEMP Certified
Synchronous Device Support:
o 3270 Bisync terminals, hosts and printers
- Data rates up to 19.2 kbs

o File transfers between host computers and PC's using IND$FILE.
Both CUT and DFT devices are supported.
o Interoperability with IBM X.25 NPSI products
o Interoperability with IBM MVS TCP/IP products
o Performs host emulation for synchronous devices so that the
devices poll locally and not through the network. This increases
performance and reduces network charges. Because of this feature,
NAC allows for interoperability of dissimilar equipment: synchrono
to asynchronous protocol conversion.
The NAC provides a full suite of communication protocols:
- X.25
* DDN certified for DoD applications
* CCITT 1984 including X.3, X.28, X.29
- Telnet
- Transmission Control Protocol - TCP

- SNA LU6.2
- Qualified Logical Link Control - QLLC
- Host Front end Protocol - HFP
- Simple Mail Transfer Protocol - SMTP
- File Transfer Protocol - FTP
- IEEE 802.3 Ethernet
- Address Resolution Protocol - ARP
The NAC can be configured as a gateway allowing for the
interconnection of dissimilar networks. Also, the NAC can perform
IP routing for interconnectiong LAN to LAN, LAN to WAN and WAN to
WAN.

4.3.1. LANalyzer EX 5000 Series Network Analyzers
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: LANalyzer EX 5000 Series Network Analyzers
DESCRIPTION:
The LANalyzer EX5000 Series comprises Excelan's versatile
third-generation network analyzer systems. These analyzers let
OEMs, systems integrators, and end users monitor network activity,
troubleshoot problems, debug protocol and application software, and
fine-tune network performance. The portability provided by the
COMPAQ PORTABLE II and installed LANalyzer system is an important
asset to field service and support departments -- especially when
combined with "Carbon Copy PLUS" communications software, which
allows LANalyzer test control from any remote Personal Computer.
All LANalyzer systems have easy-to-use mouse and menu interfaces,
on-line HELP, and built- in, simple "quick tests" for network
troubleshooters.
The LANalyzer EX5000 series can: monitor and capture up to 100%
of the packets based on user-defined criteria, timestamp captured
packets, display test statistics in real time or save them to a DOS
file, perform TDR-like cable checking, decode TCP/IP, DECnet, XNS
and other protocols, and generate controlled amounts of network
traffic.
In addition, Excelan's LAN WorkPlace software for PC DOS
provides concurrent access to applications and TCP/IP hosts. Thus,
the PC or compatible that runs the LANalyzer program can become a
node on the Ethernet network without requiring purchase of an EXOS
205E or EXOS 205T controller.
Additionally, a StarLAN adapter board is available for
monitoring of StarLAN networks, and EXOS TCP/IP Network Software
for DOS can also be run on any PC LANalyzer.

4.4. FTP Software
4.4.1. FTP Software LANWatch
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: LANWatch 2.0
DESCRIPTION:
LANWatch is an inexpensive, powerful and flexible network
analyzer which runs under DOS on personal computers and requires no
hardware modifications to either the host or the network. Network
managers using LANWatch can inspect traffic patterns and packet
errors to isolate performance problems and bottlenecks, and
protocol developers can use LANWatch to inspect and verify proper
protocol handling.
LANWatch has two operating modes: Display Mode traces network
traffic by displaying captured packets in real-time, and Examine
Mode allows you to scroll back through stored packets to inspect
them in detail. To select a subset of packets for display, storage
or retrieval, there is an extensive set of built-in filters. The
built-in filters include alarm, trigger, capture, load, save and
search; they can be controlled separately to match on source or
destination address, protocol, or packet contents at the hardware
and transport layers. LANWatch also includes sufficient source
code so users can modify the existing filters and parsers, or add
new ones. LANWatch is available on a variety of network interface
cards, for Ethernet, Starlan and Token Ring.
DOCUMENTATION:
LANWatch comes with an installation guide, a user's guide, and a
programmer's guide.

4.5. HEWLETT PACKARD
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: HP 4972A LAN Protocol Analyzer
DESCRIPTION:
The HP 4972A local area network protocol analyzer is used for
performance management and for troubleshooting problems on IEEE
802.3, Ethernet, or StarLAN local area networks. The HP 4972A
provides accurate and complete information under all operating
conditions. The HP 4972A provides a comprehensive, easy to use,
diagnostic tool for fast problem isolation and maintenance. It
monitors traffic on the network, generates data frames to test
other nodes, and gathers statistics to verify network performance.
To assist in the management of network performance, the HP 4972A
provides statistical information on network, node and connection
levels. It counts and measures errors and other parameters for
each node. Automatic test sequences make it easy to set up
long-term tests and repeat the tests at regular intervals. A
background traffic generator measures performance under different
loading conditions which allows you to anticipate and plan for
future growth. An optional color graphic display makes network
activity easy to understand. Performance management software helps
fine-tune the network.
The HP 4972A is also equipped for troubleshooting when sudden
changes or unavoidable circumstances take your network down. The
softkey-guided programming language helps test for problem network
conditions as they occur. Network events can also be logged to
disk and post-processed through the same program to examine for
possible problems. A user-definable display format makes it easy
to restrict data viewed to the critical information you need to
solve a problem. Protocol interpreters display data captured by
the HP 4972A in a decoded mnemonic format. Software tools
available for the HP 4972A allow the user to see an "English"
decode of many protocols. Network performance analysis tools are
also available for these protocols. They allow the user to
characterize operational performance of the network by testing and
making measurements on efficiency and utilization of higher network
protocol layers.

4.7.2. Netlabs Dual Manager
PRODUCT-OR-PACKAGE-NAME: Netlabs Dual Manager
DESCRIPTION:
Netlabs' Dual Manager provides management of TCP/IP networks
using both SNMP and CMOT protocols. Such management can be
initiated either through the X-windows user interface (both Motif
and Openlook), or through OSI Network Management (CMIP) commands.
The Dual Manager provides for configuration, fault, security and
performance management. It provides extensive map management
features, including scanned maps in the background. It provides
simple mechanisms to extend the MIB and assign specific lists of
objects to specific network elements, thereby providing for the
management of all vendors' specific MIB extensions. It provides an
optional relational DBMS for storing and retrieving MIB and alarm
information. Finally, the Dual Manager is an open platform, in
that it provides several Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)
for users to extend the functionality of the Dual Manager.
The Dual Manager is expected to work as a TCP/IP "branch
manager" under DEC's EMA, AT&T's UNMA and other OSI-conformant
enterprise management architectures.
