2. System Primitives
G. Deloche of U.C.L.A. has documented a proposed set of basic network primitives for inclusion in the operating systems of the respective HOSTs (NWG Note: 11). The primitives are: Open primary connection Open auxiliary connection Transmit over connection Close connection. The details and terminology are defined by Deloche and others in previous memos. The primitives are system calls, available to programmers, and are most likely a part of the resident monitor, rather than the swappable executive.
