STATUS OF IR&D TASK 9780
ARPA NETWORK STUDIES AND EXPERIMENTS
1.0 OBJECTIVES
MITRE/Washington became a node in the ARPA computer network in
September 1971 when a Terminal Interface Message Processor (TIP) was
installed. Since that time MITRE's use of the network has largely
been supported by IR&D funds. The objectives of the IR&D Network
Studies are:
(a) to promote the use of the network resources in an
operational mode within MITRE to increase the computer
capabilities available for supporting sponsor's work;
(b) to use the ARPANET itself as a research tool for
conducting computer networking experiments; and
(c) to demonstrate the use of ARPANET resources to extend
the capabilities of existing systems.
Specifically, the proposed objectives are:
(1) to select ARPANET resources that can be used to support
identified MITRE projects and to demonstrate how these
resources can be used;
