This paper points out several significant problems in the specification of the Military Standard Internet Protocol (MIL-STD-1777, dated August 1983 [MILS83a]). These results are based on an initial investigation of this protocol standard. The problems are: (1) a failure to reassemble fragmented messages completely; (2) a missing state transition; (3) errors in testing for reassembly completion; (4) errors in computing fragment sizes; (5) minor errors in message reassembly; (6) incorrectly computed length for certain datagrams. This note also proposes solutions to these problems.
