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 RFC provides 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] Elliott Informational [Page 20]
RFC 1399 Summary of 1300-1399 January 1997 1303 McCloghrie Feb 92 A Convention for Describing SNMP-based Agents This memo suggests a straight-forward approach towards describing SNMP- based agents. This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard. 1302 Sitzler Feb 92 Building a Network Information Services Infrastructure This FYI RFC document 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 does not specify an Internet standard. Elliott Informational [Page 21]
