Status
This document is a description of, and a specification for, the NETBLT protocol. It is a revision of the specification published in NIC RFC-969(-> 998exp). The protocol has been revised after extensive research into NETBLT's performance over long-delay, high-bandwidth satellite channels. Most of the changes in the protocol specification have to do with the computation and use of data timers in a multiple buffering data transfer model.
This document is published for discussion and comment, and does not constitute a standard. The proposal may change and certain parts of the protocol have not yet been specified; implementation of this document is therefore not advised.
