Back issues obtainable by FTP from the directory at SRI-NIC [10.0.0.73].] ====================================================================== Section I. OFFICIAL Topic: - TEST DAY REMINDER ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Two tests of the MILNET/ARPANET Split were scheduled for 8 SEP and 15 SEP prior to the final cutover on 4 OCT. The first test was successfully completed as scheduled. No significant problems were discovered with the design of the Split. Although some hosts were observed using the wrong gateways and not responding to redirects as required, the mailbridges themselves performed well. Several problems were noted with table entries and these have been corrected. The second test will be conducted 15 SEP as planned. The test will begin at 12:00 Noon and will continue until 12:00 Noon of the following day. Some minor degradation may be noticed during the first hour of the test as IMPs and TACs are reloaded with the test tables. Host administrators are reminded that they must obtain an updated copy of the host name tables from the NIC prior to the test. (See DDN Management Bulletin No. 13 available from SRI-NIC [10.0.0.73] via FTP from your local host using pathname= DDN-MGT-BULLETIN-13.TXT, username=anonymous, and password=guest.) TAC users should obtain an updated copy of the HOST/TAC ALIGNMENT FILE which is available from the TAC News-server. The new edition of this file will be available on Wednesday, 14 Sep, and contains the port numbers of the hosts listed. ----END-OF-MESSAGE---- -------
