Hi.  I'll bet you have forgotten you are still on this
mailing list. (LOOK OUT, HERE COME THE MAIL BOUNCES...!)

Danny Cohen just brought to my attention a bulletin from the DoD
that lists a set of new DOD Standardized Profiles (DSPs).  These are
intended to replace the old Mil Stds.

They are:
MIL-STD-2045-14502 Internet Transport Profile for DoD Communications
MIL-STD-2045-17504 Internet File Transfer Profile for DoD Communications
MIL-STD-2045-17505 Internet Domain Name Service (DNS) Profile for DoD Comm'n
MIL-STD-2045-17506 Internet Remote Login Profile for DoD Communications,
MIL-STD-2045-17507 Internet Network Management Profile for DoD Communications

The first one covers IP and (?) TCP.

Has anyone read these?  Are they reasonable?  Is the DoD digging
themselves out of a 10-year old pit, or are they digging themselves
in deeper...?
