Host Access Protocol specification

Overview

RFC 907, “Host Access Protocol specification”, is an Internet Standard document published in July 1984 by Bolt Beranek and Newman Laboratories. It has since been updated by RFC 1221. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document specifies the Host Access Protocol (HAP). Although HAP was originally designed as the network-access level protocol for the DARPA/DCA sponsored Wideband Packet Satellite Network, it is intended that it evolve into a standard interface SATNET and TACNET (aka MATNET) as well as the Wideband Network. HAP is an experimental protocol, and will undergo further revision as new capabilities are added and/or different satellite networks are suported. Implementations of HAP should be performed in coordination with satellite network development and operations personnel.
