                       LINK NUMBER ASSIGNMENTS

    Today Steve Crocker asked me to announce that from now on link
numbers 2-71 (decimal), inclusive, are to be valid for use in
connections.  Accordingly, the Host-Host Protocol Document, which I am
currently writing, will contain the following "declarative
specification".

    Links are assigned as follows:

    Link Number         Assignment

    0                   Control link
    2-71                Available for connections
    1, 72-190           Reserved-not for current use
    191                 To be used only for measurement
                        work under the direction of the
                        Network Measurement Center at UCLA
    192-255             Available for private experimental use
