                       LINK NUMBER ASSIGNMENTS

Today Steve Crocker asked me to announce that from now on link numbers 2-71
(decimal), inclusive, are to be valid for use in connections.  Accordingly,
the Host-Host Protocol Document, which I am currently writing, will contain
the following "declarative specification."

Links are assigned as follows:

         Link Number            Assignment

         0                      Control link
         2-71                   Available for connections
         1, 72-190              Reserved-not for current use
         191                    To be used only for measurement work under the
                                direction of the Network Measurement Center
                                at UCLA
         191-255                Available for private experimental use.
