[ih] inter IMP hackery [was Recently restored and a small ARPANET was run using simulated IMP hardware, ]

[the keyboard of geoff goodfellow]

would be curious to know WHAT did UCLA-NMC measure and HOW did it measure
it?

i.e. was there a "precursor" to some kind of SNMP capability that allowed
UCLA-NMC to peer inside IMPs or hosts?

or were their processes on (all?) the ARPANET hosts at the time that
collected data from their respective OS's that the UCLA-NMC machine would
then periodically poll to get the data, kind of like the Tenex RSSER job
processes did with respect to sharing load avg. data among themselves?

[btw, believe that unless Leonard Kleinrock <lk at cs.ucla.edu> is
on/subscriber to the IH list, any reply sent to IH would be black holed, as
the IH list is most likely configured (Joe can confirm) to only allow
submissions to it from its "subscribers"... ERGO, if Len does reply, even
if cc'ng the list, you'd need to then manually fwd it to the list for
everyone else to see.]
