- This FYI RFC outlines the major issues an institution should consider
- in the decision and implementation of a campus connection to the
- Internet.
-
- In order to provide clarity to the reader, some specific information
- has been detailed. In doing so, the document has been directed toward
- U.S. academic institutions that have not yet connected to the
- Internet.
-
- However, the issues for which specific information has been provided
- can be generalized for any organization that wishes to participate in
- the world-wide Internet community. It will be necessary for those
- organizations to obtain the correct and detailed information from
- their local or national IP service providers. In addition, this
- document may be used as an evaluation checklist for organizations that
- are currently connected. Readers are expected to have general
- familiarity with networking concepts and terminology.
-
- This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does
- not specify an Internet standard. Distribution of this memo is
- unlimited.
