- ConneXions---The Interoperability Report
- by Ole J. Jacobsen <ole@csli.stanford.edu>
-
- The November 1992 issue of ConneXions takes a look at a serious
- problem currently facing the Internet: The growth in the number of
- hosts and networks is causing depletion of the 32-bit address space
- and stressing the architecture. Several efforts are underway to solve
- this problem, and each is outlined in this issue.
-
- The December issue continues a long-running series of articles,
- "Components of OSI," with a look at conformance testing. Also in the
- December issue, you will find two network management case studies as
- well as a report from INET '92, and several book reviews.
-
- The January 1993 issue will continue with yet another OSI article,
- this time an overview of the International Standardized Profiles
- (ISPs). This issue also has an article about the Message Send
- Protocol, a SLIP case study, and an article entitled "Inside an IETF
- Plenary." A brief overview of the politics of the NREN is also
- included.
-
- We are pleased to offer all Internet Society members a 20% discount on
- ConneXions subscriptions. For more information, a free sample issue,
