                       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.
