- The purpose of this document is to provide a set of guidelines to aid
- in the secure operation of the Internet. During its history, the
- Internet has grown significantly and is now quite diverse. Its
- participants include government institutions and agencies, academic
- and research institutions, commercial network and electronic mail
- carriers, non-profit research centers and an increasing array of
- industrial organizations who are primarily users of the technology.
- Despite this dramatic growth, the system is still operated on a purely
- collaborative basis. Each participating network takes responsibility
- for its own operation. Service providers, private network operators,
- users and vendors all cooperate to keep the system functioning.
-
- This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does
- not specify an Internet standard. Distribution of this memo is
- unlimited.
