Network Working Group 28 Sept 71 Abhay Bhushan RFC 233, NIC #7650 Bob Metcalfe Standardization of Host Call Letters ------------------------------------ We agree with Peggy Karp (See RFC 226) that there would be some benefit in standardizing the symbolic host names used in TELNET programs. It should be recognized that there is a trade-off between brevity and mnemonicism. It is our feeling that a good set of host call letters can be developed using only four characters (see Jim White's in RFC 206.) Each host should suggest its own call letters. Upper and lower case letters should be used interchangeably. The following is our currently recommended list: Host Number Name-4 Name-8 ----------- ------ ------ 1 sex sex-ucla 65 ccn ccn-ucla 2 nic nic-sri 66 srai sri-ai 3 ucsb ucsb 4 utah utah 5 bbn5 bbn-516 69 bbna bbn-10x 133 bbnb bbn-x10x 6 mult multics 70 dmcg mit-dmcg 134 its mit-ai 7 ra65 rand-65 71 ra10 rand-10 8 sdc sdc 9 harv harvard 73 har1 harvpdp1 137 ha11 harpdp11 10 ll67 linc-67 74 tx2 linc-tx2 11 stan stanford 12 ill illinois 13 case case 14 cmu cmu 15 paol paoli 16 ames ames-67 144 amtp ames-tip 145 mttp mitretip 18 radc radc 146 rdtp radc-tip [Page 1] 19 nbs nbspdp11 147 nbtp nbs-tip 148 etac etac 21 tink tink-418 22 mccl mccl-418 23 usc usc-44 151 ustp usc-tip 152 gwc gwc-tip 25 ncar ncar7600 153 nctp ncar-tip 158 bbtp bbn-tip [ This RFC was put into machine readable form for entry ] [ into the online RFC archives by BBN Corp. under the ] [ direction of Alex McKenzie. 12/96 ] [Page 2]
