1307 Young Mar 92 Dynamically Switched Link Control
Protocol

This memo describes an experimental protocol developed by a project team
at Cray Research, Inc., in implementing support for circuit-switched T3
services. The protocol is used for the control of network connections
external to a host, but known to the host. This memo defines an
Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.

1306 Nicholson Mar 92 Experiences Supporting By-Request
Circuit-Switched T3 Networks

This memo describes the experiences of a project team at Cray Research,
Inc., in implementing support for circuit-switched T3 services. While
the issues discussed may not be directly relevant to the research
problems of the Internet, they may be interesting to a number of
researchers and implementers. This RFCprovides information for the
Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard.

1305 Mills Mar 92 Network Time Protocol (Version 3):
Specification, Implementation and
Analysis

This document describes the Network Time Protocol (NTP), specifies its
formal structure and summarizes information useful for its
implementation. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

1304 Cox Feb 92 Definitions of Managed Objects for the
SIP Interface Type

This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for
use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets. In
particular, it defines objects for managing SIP (SMDS Interface
Protocol) objects. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

1302 Sitzler Feb 92 Building a Network Information
Services Infrastructure

This FYI RFCdocument is intended for existing Internet Network
Information Center (NIC) personnel, people interested in establishing a
new NIC, Internet Network Operations Centers (NOCs), and funding
agencies interested in contributing to user support facilities. This
memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not
specify an Internet standard.

1301 Armstrong Feb 92 Multicast Transport Protocol

This memo describes a protocol for reliable transport that utilizes the
multicast capability of applicable lower layer networking architectures.
The transport definition permits an arbitrary number of transport
providers to perform realtime collaborations without requiring
networking clients (aka, applications) to possess detailed knowledge of
the population or geographical dispersion of the participating members.
It is not network architectural specific, but does implicitly require
some form of multicasting (or broadcasting) at the data link level, as
well as some means of communicating that capability up through the
layers to the transport. This memo provides information for the
Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard.

1300 Greenfield Feb 92 Remembrances of Things Past

Poem. This memo provides information for the Internet community. It
