Protocol Information
Introduction
This file contains information on the various protocols in the ARPA
Network. An effort will be made to keep the information current, but
his depends on the cooperation of the users of this file to convey
any information about protocol developments, or corrections to this
information to Jon Postel at SRI-ARC.
Online address is POSTEL@BBNB; Phone is (415) 326-6200 x 3718;
U.S. Mail address is Stanford Research Institute, Augmentation
Research Center, 222 Ravenswood, Menlo park, California 94025.
This is a compendium of all the protocol related activity and most of
this activity and most of this activity is with experimental
protocols, for those protocols, which are official standards the
designation "[Official]" will be appended to the name.
This protocol information file is online as:
Pathname: [OFFICE-1] <NETINFO.PROTOCOL-INFORMATION.TXT
and also [BBNB] <POSTEL.PROTCOL-INFORMATION.NLS
Much of the documentation of protocols appears as Requests for
Comments (RFCs) and many of these are available online. When a
document is accessible online a pointer to that source will be given.
Also note that recent RFCs are online at Office-1 in directory
<NETINFO> with names of the form RFCnnn.TXT where nnn is replaced by
the RFC number. There is also an index of recent RFCs as an online
file:
[Office-1] <NETINFOR>RFC-INDEX.TXT
There are three other online files that are relevant to protocols:
There is a file that lists Official Host Names and associated
information as described in RFC 608, the pathname of this file is:
[Office-1] <NETOINFO>HOSTS.TXT

There are two files that list the addresses of the Network
Liaisons, one file lists the online message address, and the other
the US Mail address and phone number. A network liaison is a
person designated by a host organization as the contact and
coordinator for network technical information fro that
organization.
[Office-1] <NETINFO>LIAISON-SNDMSG.TXT
[Office-1] <NETINFO>LIAISON.TXT
These files are prepared by Jake Feinler of the Network
Information Center (NIC). Indeed the NIC has been very helpful in
providing the online file space for the recent Request for
Comments, and other protocol related files. The NIC also
maintains the hardcopy reference library of all RFCs.
The NIC has assembled and filed with the National Technical
information Service the collection of documents known as "ARPA
Network Current Network Protocols". This collection represents the
more or less "official" protocols as of 1-December-74. The accession
number is ADA003890.
