<t>This RFC specifies the ARPANET Short Blocking Feature, which will allow ARPANET hosts to optionally shorten the IMP's host blocking timer.  This Feature is a replacement of the ARPANET non-blocking host   interface,  which  was  never  implemented,  and  will  be available to hosts using either the 1822  or  1822L  Host  Access Protocol.   The  RFC is also being presented as a solicitation of comments on the Short  Blocking  Feature,  especially  from  host network software implementers and maintainers.</t></abstract></front>
