IMP System Change Notification
------------------------------
During the week of 16 August, we installed a new version of
the IMP system, version 2505. The new version incorporated three
principal changes:
1) The number of hosts the system can handle was increased
from three to four. Although this caused a rather large
internal change to the IMP, the only external effects of
the change are the presence of a new status light [light
8 monitors Host 4], and the lengthening of the 10-second
and snapshot statistics.
2) The host handling routines were modified to gather more
accurate and voluminous statistics on host usage of the
network, and report them to NCC.
3) The 10-sec. statistics were changed to measure time for
the host "round trip" statistic in units of 800 rather
than 100 microseconds.
It is not anticipated that the new system should have any
direct effect on the hosts.
