This FYI RFC answers the question, "What is the Internet?" and is
produced by the User Services Working Group (USWG) of the Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF). Containing a modified chapter from Ed
Krol's 1992 book, "The Whole Internet User's Guide and Catalog," the
paper covers the Internet's definition, history, administration,
protocols, financing, and current issues such as growth,
commercialization, and privatization. We would like to thank O'Reilly
& Associates for permission to reprint the chapter for use in this FYI
RFC.
