As GKN@SDSC.ARPA has already listed some of the things that have changed
since the tests were run on SRI MultiNet -- I would like to fill in the rest
of the relevent changes since March (tapes for which have already begun
shipping to all MultiNet sites):

	
	1) Host name lookup:  BIND ("named" built into master server process)
			      Binary host table is used as backup when
			      when BIND is either disabled or cannot
			      reach any server for the desired domain.

	2) Routing: Cornell's "gated" Gateway Daemon
			      (built into master server process)
			      supports EGP, RIP (routed) and Fuzzball
			      HELLO.  Will gateway routing information between
			      these protocols.  Route gatewaying is
			      configurable.

	3) User FTP no longer uses the VAX-11 "C" runtime library but
	   access RMS directly.  This has a significant effect on FTP
	   performance, as the I/O system in the VAX-11 "C" runtime library
	   is terribly slow.  Although I do not have the same configuration
	   as Ira Winston -- my tests show something like:
		80Kb/second OUT
		90Kb/second IN

		overhead

		110kb/CPU-second OUT
		115kb/CPU-second IN
