NIC #13281 12-DEC-72
Character Generator Process
- I hereby propose that there be a standard process implemented on
-
- whatever hosts desire which generates character data with out any
-
- regard to input. In some sense the process is the converse of the
-
- discard process [RFC 348]. Many hosts have an existing terminal
-
- testing program [e.g. TTYTST] which would suit this function
-
- adequately.
-
- This Character Generator process would listen for a request for
-
- connection and execute the Initial Connection Protocol (ICP) as
-
- specified in NIC 7104 the "Current Network Protocols" notebook. Upon
-
- completion of the ICP the Character Generator process would begin to
-
- send characters into the network as buffer space is made available .
-
- The Character Generator process is terminated by closing the
-
- connections.
