NETBLT: A bulk data transfer protocol
D.D. Clark, M.L. Lambert, L. Zhang · 1987
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.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.
