| The original spec, MIT AIM 628, is sometimes not totally clear, and partly out-of-date (e.g. for the link layer and down). What is below might perhaps not be clearer, but more succinct. The real definition is in the behaviour of the implementations - "use the source, Luke!" ((See e.g. the [[https://github.com/bictorv/chaosnet-bridge|Chaosnet bridge]], the [[https://github.com/PDP-10/its/blob/master/src/system/chaos.289|ITS implementation]], and the LISP machine implementations.)) | The original spec, MIT AIM 628, is sometimes not totally clear, and partly out-of-date (e.g. for the link layer and down).

| ''DOOR'' (a simple protocol) was used at ITS to open the door to the 9th floor of the AI building (with argument ''D''), and sending an elevator to floor 8 or 9 (with argument ''8'' or ''9''). The ANS packet had no data. ((On Lisp Machines on the 9th floor, you could open the door by pressing <Terminal> D, and call the elevator by pressing <Terminal> E.)) | ''DOOR'' (a simple protocol) was used at ITS to open the door to the 9th floor of the AI building (with argument ''D''), and sending an elevator to floor 8 or 9 (with argument ''8'' or ''9'').
