The HS class is reserved for use by a system called Hesiod that stores and distributes simple textual data using the Domain Name System. It is typically used in local environments as a stand-in for LDAP. The CH class is reserved for something called Chaosnet.
When a user logs in, he is assigned a processor, and he has exclusive use of it for the duration of the session. When he logs out, the processor is returned to the pool, for the next person to use. This way, there is no competition from other users for memory;
The processors would share access to a file system and to devices like printers via a high-speed local network “with completely distributed control.”4 That network was Chaosnet.
A Chaosnet address is only 16 bits, half the size of an IPv4 address, which makes sense given that Chaosnet was only ever meant to work on a local network. Chaosnet also doesn’t use port numbers; instead, a process that wants to connect to another process on a different machine
first makes a connection request that specifies a target “contact name.”
