Network Working Group M. Wingfield Request for Comments: 12 REVISED 26 August 1969 IMP-HOST INTERFACE FLOW DIAGRAMS The following flow diagrams were extracted from the logic diagrams provided in Appendix B of BBN Report No. 1822. These diagrams indicate the logical sequence of hardware operations which occur within the IMP-HOST interface. The logic names appearing in the blocks correspond to the logic elements found in Appendix B.
