ARPANET short blocking feature
RFC 852, “ARPANET short blocking feature”, is an Unknown document published in April 1983 by A.G. Malis. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This RFC specifies the ARPANET Short Blocking Feature, which will allow ARPANET hosts to optionally shorten the IMP's host blocking timer. This Feature is a replacement of the ARPANET non-blocking host interface, which was never implemented, and will be available to hosts using either the 1822 or 1822L Host Access Protocol. This RFC is also being presented as a solicitation of comments on the Short Blocking Feature, especially from host network software implementers and maintainers.
What “Unknown” means
