Internet Control Message Protocol

This is the specification of the Telnet protocol used for remote
terminal access in the ARPA Internet. The purpose of the TELNET
Protocol is to provide a fairly general, bi-directional, eight-bit
byte oriented communications facility. Its primary goal is to allow a
standard method of interfacing terminal devices and terminal-oriented
processes to each other. It is envisioned that the protocol may also
be used for terminal-terminal communication ("linking") and process-
process communication (distributed computation). This RFC specifies a
standard for the ARPA Internet community. Hosts on the ARPA Internet
are expected to adopt and implement this standard. Obsoletes NIC
18639.

This paper traces the origins and evolution of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) over two decades of continuous operation. The technology has been continuously improved from hundreds of milliseconds in the rowdy Internet of the early 1980s to tens of nanoseconds in the Internet of the new century. It includes a blend of history lessons, technology milestones and series of experiments that shape, define and record the early history of the Internet and NTP.This narrative is decidedly personal, since the job description for an Internet timekeeper is highly individualized and invites very few applicants. There is no attempt here to present a comprehensive tutorial, only a almanac of personal observations, eclectic minutiae and fireside chat. Many souls have contributed to the technology, some of which are individually acknowledged in this paper, the rest too numerous left to write their own memoirs.

A brief history of NTP time: memoirs of an Internet timekeeper

Network bandwidth detection and distribution and prioritizing network traffic among two or more distinct channels of communication within a single application in a node configured to communicate with one or more other nodes over a network is disclosed. An available bandwidth may be detected for communication between the first node and a second node. A distribution may be determined for the available bandwidth among the two or more communication channels. For a particular time quantum, a bandwidth quantum may be distributed amongst two or more communication channels according to priorities associated with those channels.
