Request for Comments: 1005                      BBN Communications Corp.
                                                                May 1987


        The ARPANET AHIP-E Host Access Protocol (Enhanced AHIP)


1. Status of this Memo

   This RFC is a proposed specification for the encoding of Class A
   IP addresses for use on ARPANET-style networks such as the Milnet
   and Arpanet, and for enhancements to the ARPANET AHIP Host Access
   Protocol (AHIP; formerly known as 1822).  These enhancements
   increase the size of the PSN field, allow ARPANET hosts to use
   logical names to address each other, allow for the communication
   of type-of-service information from the host to the PSN and
   enable the PSN to provide congestion feedback to the host on a
   connection basis. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
   Comments on this RFC should be sent to the netmail address
   "ahipe@bbn.com".
