      This article is written by Gordon Bell, the former Chair of the
 +
      FCCSET subcommittee on computer networking, infrastructure and
 +
      digital communications.  It discusses the merits of a national
 +
      network and the potential of such a network to trigger significant
 +
      advances in computing and communications research.  The most
 +
      viable solution is a national research network organized and
 +
      maintained by the Federal government.  However, the success of
 +
      such a venture is tied to the need for effective leadership in
 +
      communications and a coordinated Federal science and technology

  In response to congressional inquiries and urged on by the
 
  extraordinary opportunities created by rapid developments in
 
  high-performance computing, the Federal Coordinating Council on
 
  Science, Engineering and Technology (FCCSET) recommended that
 
  several federal agencies convene expert panels to assess high-
 
  performance computing.  In attendance were 45 recognized leaders
 
  from industry, academe and national laboratories.  In three
 
  separate sub-panels, they considered the steps necessary to grasp
 
  the opportunities and face the challenges of the next decade: in
 
  particular, to maintain U.S.  leadership in computing technology
 
  and the strengthening of our competitive position vis-a-vis our
 
  trading partners.  The three sub-panel reports follow an executive

RFC 1175 FYI - Bibliography August 1990


1. Introduction

1a. Background and Purpose

  On 1 June 1989, several members of the IETF User Services Working
  Group convened an interim working group session at the JVNC
  Supercomputer Center in Princeton, NJ.  The purpose of the meeting
  was to form a distinct working group that would assemble a
  bibliography of useful information about the Internet for end users
  and for those who help end users.  The first official meeting of the
  User Documents Working Group was held at the Stanford IETF in July
  1989.  The goal of the working group was to prepare a bibliography of
  on-line and hard copy documents, reference materials, and multimedia
  training tools that address general networking information and "how
  to use the Internet".  The target audience was beginner level and
  intermediate level end users.

1b. Scope

  This bibliography is the result of volunteer work provided by members
  of the User Documents Working Group.  The intent of this effort is to
  present a representative collection of materials that will help the
  reader become familiar with the concepts of internetworking and will
  form the basis for future study.  This is, quite simply, a good place
  to start.  References to other sources of information within this
  collection of materials will be useful to readers who wish to pursue,
  in greater depth, the issues and complexities of the current
  networking environment.  Please send comments to [email protected].

1c. Organization of Document

  This version of the bibliography is divided into 10 distinct
  categories of material, and each category is presented in a separate
  section:
          2  ARTICLES
          3  BIBLIOGRAPHIES
          4  BOOKS
          5  CONFERENCES AND WORKSHOPS
          6  GLOSSARIES
          7  GUIDES
          8  MULTIMEDIA
          9  NEWSLETTERS
          10 REPORTS AND PAPERS
          11 REQUESTS FOR COMMENTS (RFCs)
  Within each section, material is arranged in alphabetical order by
  author or authoring organization with the exception of Section 11:


User Documents Working Group

RFC 1175 FYI - Bibliography August 1990


  REQUESTS FOR COMMENTS (RFCs).  The RFCs are ordered numerically.  All
  entries contain fairly standard bibliographic information and provide
  a short abstract with information on how to obtain the particular
  material addressed.
  For brand new network users, unsure of what to read first, we suggest
  reading Ed Krol's, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Internet" (listed
  in the Guide section).  For general information on an introduction to
  Internet protocols, two documents are quite useful: Charles
  Hedrick's, "Introduction to the Internet Protocols", and Doug Comer's
  textbook, "Internetworking with TCP/IP: Principles, Protocols, and
  Architecture".  Two excellent guides to existing networks are Tracy
  L.  LaQuey's, "Users' Directory of Computer Networks" and John S.
  Quarterman's "The Matrix: Computer Networks and Conferencing Systems
  Worldwide".  We strongly encourage the reader to scan the
  bibliography in its entirety as some items may be more applicable to
  personal needs or site requirements.  (Please note that in many
  instances the abstracts are excerpts, provided verbatim, from the
  material described.)

1d. Obtaining Files By Anonymous FTP

  Much of the material referenced in this bibliography is available
  on-line and can be obtained by using the File Transfer Protocol
  (FTP).  Directions on how to obtain on-line files by anonymous FTP
  action follow.  In this example, the host used is nic.ddn.mil.
  Files may be obtained with the FTP program in conjunction with an
  ANONYMOUS login.  Versions of the FTP program may vary from system to
  system, so the commands shown in this example may need to be modified
  to work on your system.
      % ftp nic.ddn.mil  <== Use the FTP program to
                                      connect to nic.ddn.mil
      Connected to nic.ddn.mil
      220 NIC.DDN.MIL FTP Server 5Z(47)-6 at Fri 23-Jun-89 09:38-PDT
  The system should respond with a message to indicate that a
  connection has been made.  Users on a Unix system will probably be
  prompted for a login name.  Type in "anonymous" as in the example
  below:
      Name (nic.ddn.mil:kbowers): anonymous
      331 ANONYMOUS user ok, send real ident as password.
      Password:      <== Type in <guest> at the password prompt
  Other systems may require the use of a "login" or "user" command to
  send the username to the server computer.  Users unsure of the


User Documents Working Group

RFC 1175 FYI - Bibliography August 1990


  command should contact a local site representative for the specific
  commands.
  After the username and password are sent to the system, a message to
  indicate that the login has been made successfully should appear:
      230 User ANONYMOUS logged in at Fri 23-Jun-89 09:39-PDT, job 17.
  The user then connects to the directory in which the document to be
  retrieved resides. This is done with the cd command:
      ftp> cd RFC:
      331 Default name accepted. Send password to connect to it.
  The user should now be connected to the RFC: directory.  The "dir" or
  "ls" command will list the files available in this directory.
      ftp> dir
      200 Port 4.124 at host 192.33.33.51 accepted.
      150 List started.
      *** At this point a list of the files in the directory
          should appear **
      226 Transfer completed.
  The "get" command will get any file in the directory.
      ftp> get RFC821.TXT
      200 Port 4.125 at host 192.33.33.51 accepted.
      150 ASCII retrieve of TS<RFC>RFC.821.TXT.1 (49 pages) started.
      226 Transfer completed. 124482 (8) bytes transferred.
      local: RFC.821.TXT remote: RFC.821.TXT
      124482 bytes received in 55 seconds (2.2 Kbytes/s)
  The "quit" command leaves the FTP program.
      ftp> quit
      221 QUIT command received. Goodbye.

  Bell, Gordon, "Gordon Bell Calls for a U.S. Research Network," IEEE
  Spectrum, vol. 25, no. 2, pa. 54-57, IEEE Spectrum, New York, NY, Feb
  1988.
     This article is written by Gordon Bell, the former Chair of the
     FCCSET subcommittee on computer networking, infrastructure and
     digital communications.  It discusses the merits of a national
     network and the potential of such a network to trigger significant
     advances in computing and communications research.  The most
     viable solution is a national research network organized and
     maintained by the Federal government.  However, the success of
     such a venture is tied to the need for effective leadership in
     communications and a coordinated Federal science and technology
     policy.

  LaQuey, Tracy L., "Networks for Academics," Academic Computing, vol.
  4, no. 3, pp. 32-39, Academic Computing Publications, Inc., McKinney,
  TX, November 1989.
     A variety of computer networks serve academic needs at the
     nation's campuses.  Their thrusts differ significantly, and it is
     not uncommon to find campuses subscribing to multiple networks.
     This article is an overview of the major players.  This November
     1989 issue of Academic Computing also contains other interesting
     articles on networking.
  Markoff, John, "A Supercomputer in Every Pot," New York Times, p. 1,
  New York, NY, December 29, 1988.
     This article discusses the need for a gigabit national network to
     provide researchers with high speed access to remote resources and
     to develop other useful network applications.
  Quarterman, John S. and Josiah C. Hoskins, "Notable Computer
  Networks," Communications of the ACM, vol. 29, no. 10, pp. 932-971,
  Association from Computing Machinery, Inc., New York, NY, October
  1986.
     This is a summary of the state of the world of networks as of late
     1986.  Although influential in its time and still of historical
     interest, it has since been superseded by Quarterman's Book, The
     Matrix, published in October 1989.
  Quarterman, John S., "Etiquette and Ethics," ConneXions - The
  Interoperability Report, vol. 3, no. 4, pp. 12-16, Advanced Computing
  Environments, Mountain View, CA, March 1989.
     Learning how to use a computer system properly takes much longer
     than simply learning the mechanics of making it do things.
     Learning to use a system without offending other users and to
     maximum benefit involves etiquette. Learning to use a system
     without causing harm to others involves ethics.  These are not
     completely separable subjects, and the former tends to blend into
     the latter as the seriousness of the situation increases.  This
     article presents a discussion of these subjects, and some
     suggested guidelines for appropriate behavior.
  Quarterman, John S., "Mail through the Matrix," ConneXions - The
  Interoperability Report, vol. 3, no. 2, pp. 10-15, Advanced Computing
  Environments, Mountain View, CA, February 1989.
     There is a worldwide metanetwork of computer networks that use
     dissimilar protocols at the network or internet layer, but that


User Documents Working Group

RFC 1175 FYI - Bibliography August 1990


     communicate at the application layer.  The set of such networks
     that are non-commercial, e.g., academic, research, or military, is
     sometimes called Worldnet.  There are also some commercial
     networks and conferencing systems connected, and the metanetwork
     that includes all of these is what is called the Matrix.  This
     article describes some problems associated with electronic mail
     correspondence through the Matrix.

  Vaqueros, (714) 821-8380, September 1983.
     This article emphasizes how approaches to interconnection, network
     access, network services, and protocol functions are related and
     overlap.  Decisions on which approach to undertake are based on
     user requirements and existing specifications.  Applications to
     TCP/IP and the DDN Internet are provided.

     In response to congressional inquiries and urged on by the
     extraordinary opportunities created by rapid developments in
     high-performance computing, the Federal Coordinating Council on
     Science, Engineering and Technology (FCCSET) recommended that
     several federal agencies convene expert panels to assess high-
     performance computing.  In attendance were 45 recognized leaders
     from industry, academe and national laboratories.  In three
     separate sub-panels, they considered the steps necessary to grasp
     the opportunities and face the challenges of the next decade: in
     particular, to maintain U.S.  leadership in computing technology
     and the strengthening of our competitive position vis-a-vis our
     trading partners.  The three sub-panel reports follow an executive
     summary of the workshop.  For copies, contact Society for

11. REQUEST FOR COMMENTS (RFC)

11.a The Request for Comments Document Series

  The RFCs are working notes of the Internet research and development
  community.  A document in this series may be on essentially any topic
  related to computer communication, and may be anything from a meeting
  report to the specification of a standard.
  Most RFCs are the descriptions of network protocols or services,
  often giving detailed procedures and formats providing the
  information necessary for creating implementations.  Other RFCs
  report on the results of policy studies or summarize the work of
  technical committees or workshops.
  Note: Currently, all standards are published as RFCs, but not all
  RFCs specify standards.
  Anyone can submit a document for publication as an RFC.  Submissions
  must be made via electronic mail to the RFC Editor.  The RFC Editor
  is Jon Postel ([email protected]).
  While RFCs are not refereed publications, they do receive technical
  review from either the task forces, individual technical experts, or
  the RFC Editor, as appropriate.
  RFCs are distributed on-line by being stored as public access files,
  and a short message is sent to the RFC distribution list (RFC-
  [email protected]) indicating the availability of the memo.
  The on-line files are copied by the interested people and printed or
  displayed at their site on their equipment.  An RFC may also be
  returned via email in response to an email query. RFCs can be
  obtained via FTP from NIC.DDN.MIL, with the pathname RFC:RFCnnnn.TXT
  (where "nnnn" refers to the number of the RFC).  Login with FTP,
  username "anonymous", password "guest".
  The DDN Network Information Center (NIC) also provides an automatic
  mail service for those sites which cannot use FTP.  Address the
  request to [email protected] and in the subject field of the
  message indicate the RFC number, as in "Subject: RFC nnnn".
  RFCs can also be contained via FTP from NIS.NSF.NET.  Using FTP,
  login with username "anonymous", and password "guest"; then connect
  to the RFC directory (cd RFC).  The file name is of the form
  RFCnnnn.TXT-1 (where "nnnn" refers to the number of the RFC).
  The NSFNet Network Information Service (NIS) also provides an


User Documents Working Group

RFC 1175 FYI - Bibliography August 1990


  automatic mail service for those sites which cannot use FTP.  Address
  the request to [email protected] and leave the subject field of
  the message blank.  The first line of the text of the message must be
  "SEND RFCnnnn.TXT-1", where "nnnn" is replaced by the RFC number.
  This means that the format of the online files must meet the
  constraints of a wide variety of printing and display equipment.
  Once a document is assigned an RFC number and published, that RFC is
  never revised or re-issued with the same number.  There is never a
  question of having the most recent version of a particular RFC.
  However, a protocol (such as File Transfer Protocol (FTP)) may be
  improved and re-documented many times in several different RFCs.  It
  is important to verify that you have the most recent RFC on a
  particular protocol.
  The Internet Activities Board (IAB) published the "IAB Official
  Protocol Standards" (currently RFC-1140), which describes the state
  of standardization of protocols used in the Internet.  This document
  is issued quarterly.  Current copies may be obtained from the DDN
  Network Information Center or from the Internet Assigned Numbers
  Authority.  Please refer to the latest edition of the "IAB Protocol
  Standards" RFC for current information on the state and status of
  standard Internet protocols.
  The complete set of all RFCs issued is maintained at, and available
  from, the DDN Network Information Center at SRI International.  For
  further information, phone: 1-800-235-3155 (E-mail: [email protected]).
  Subsets of this master set (shadow copies) are maintained at MERIT
  and CSNET.  Use of the RFC repositories at these sites may be more
  suitable to your network connectivity requirements.  Please note,
  however, that the NIC.DDN.MIL is the central repository and will
  contain the most up-to-date set of RFCs.

11b. Key Basic Beige RFC Abstracts

  The following material is organized as abstracts of key "Basic Beige"
