ARPANET 1822L Host Access Protocol
RFC 802, “ARPANET 1822L Host Access Protocol”, is an Unknown document published in November 1981 by A.G. Malis. It has been obsoleted by RFC 851 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document proposed two major changes to the current ARPANET host access protocol. The first change will allow hosts to use logical addressing (i.e., host addresses that are independent of their physical location on the ARPANET) to communicate with each other, and the second will allow a host to shorten the amount of time that it may be blocked by its IMP after it presents a message to the network (currently, the IMP can block further input from a host for up to 15 seconds). See RFCs 852 and 851.
