ORDER INFORMATION
DTIC DOCUMENT ORDERS
Military personnel or DoD contractors with proper authorization may obtain
protocol-related documents such as circulars, directives, or memoranda from
the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC).
DTIC's address and telephone number are:
Defense Technical Information Center
Cameron Station
Alexandria, VA 22304-6145
202-274-7633
Contractors and researchers without access to DTIC can obtain some of these
documents from the former NIC, SRI International. (See instructions below.)
Documents available from SRI INTERNATIONAL, Network Information
Systems Center:
The following information has been provided by SRI International for online
distribution. SRI contact information is listed at the end of this file.
Please call SRI if you have any questions concerning any of these documents
or their availability.
1. RFCs, RFC INDEX, RFC SUBSCRIPTION
RFCs are technical notes describing protocol development and providing
general Internet information. Several hosts are repositories for the
RFCs, including NIC.DDN.MIL and FTP.NISC.SRI.COM.
RFCs are available online via anonymous ftp or electronic mail free of
charge. SRI provides hardcopies on a cost recovery basis.
2. GOVERNMENT OPEN SYSTEMS INTERCONNECTION PROFILE (GOSIP)
The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) describing the
Federal government's policy, including the DoD transition from
TCP/IP to ISO international protocols.
Online filenames on FTP.NISC.SRI.COM are netinfo/gosip-v2.ps
or netinfo/gosip-v2.txt. Hardcopies are also available
from SRI and NTIS. See the file netinfo/gosip-order-info.txt
for references to other supporting documents.
3. INTERNET TECHNOLOGY HANDBOOK
The Internet Technology Handbook updates and expands the DDN Protocol
Handbook. It gathers a core set of RFCs, organizes them by networking
topic, and provides an introductory explanation of each topic and each
RFC's place within the scope of that topic. A six volume set of more
than 5,000 pages, the Handbook also includes a one year Internet
Technology Subscription. The Internet Technology Subscription ensures
that the Handbook will remain up to date because new RFCs that pertain
to the Handbook are sent quarterly, along with information that makes
it easy to know where new information fits.
4. TCP/IP CD
The TCP/IP CD offers comprehensive documentation on the fundamentals
of TCP/IP networking. The CD includes all the online Requests For
Comments (RFCs), all online Internet Engineering Notes (IENs), For
Your Information documents (FYIs, a subset of the RFCs), the GOSIP
specification, and other protocol, security, and informational files.
We also provide archives of technical mailing lists that discuss protocol
implementation issues.
IFIND, an easy to use search program, is included on each disk. The
search program works on both Unix and DOS systems. It works by searching
indexes made from all RFC, IEN, and FYI files, and all TCP-IP and
Namedroppers mail messages. As a free bonus, the CD includes public
domain source code related to TCP/IP networking for those who do not
have direct access to Internet file transfer capabilities.
5. INTERNET TECHNOLOGY SERIES
Both the Internet Technology Handbook and the TCP/IP CD in one
special combination. Price includes the Internet Technology
Subscription and one update to the CD.
6. NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STANDARDS AND TECHNOLOGY (NIST) OSI
IMPLEMENTATION DOCUMENTS
SRI makes the output of four NIST Working Groups researching the
implementation of OSI standards in the U.S. available in a series
of subscriptions. Four major working group areas are included:
Directory Services (X.500); Message Handling Systems (X.400);
Security; and Network Management.
SRI price for each NIST subscription is different. Contact SRI for
details.
