- Protocol Document Order Information
-
-
- STATUS OF THIS MEMO
-
- This RFC indicates how to obtain various protocol documents used in
- the DARPA research community. Included is an overview of the new
- 1985 DDN Protocol Handbook and available sources for obtaining
- related documents (such as, DoD, ISO, and CCITT). Distribution of
- this memo is unlimited.
-
- DOD INTERNET PROTOCOL DOCUMENTS:
-
- How to get the Requests for Comments (RFCs):
-
- RFCs are the working memos of the DARPA research community. The
- subjects may include protocol specifications, interface
- definitions, program descriptions, policy statements, trouble
- reports, algorithms, announcements, and humor. These may range
- from wild ideas and crazy suggestions, to firm specifications.
-
- The normal method for distribution of RFCs is for interested
- parties to copy the documents from the DDN Network Information
- Center's (NIC) online library using FTP. Public access files may
- be copied from the RFC directory on the SRI-NIC.ARPA host computer
- via FTP with username ANONYMOUS and password GUEST. The pathname
- of RFC nnn is RFC:RFCnnn.TXT.
-
- Requests for special distribution should be addressed to either
- the author of the RFC in question or to NIC@SRI-NIC.ARPA. Unless
- specifically noted otherwise on the RFC itself, all RFCs are for
- unlimited distribution.
-
- For hardcopy distribution from the NIC there is a charge of $5 for
- each RFC that is less than 100 pages, and $10 for each RFC that is
- 100 pages or more to cover the cost of postage and handling
- (check, money order, or purchase order accepted).

- Protocol Document Order Information
-
-
- How to get the Protocol Handbook - 1985:
-
- It has been about 5 years since the release of the Internet
- Protocol Transition Workbook (IPTW) and the related documents
- which were issued as a document set for implementors of TCP/IP and
- related application protocols. These were issued to assist the
- NCP-to-TCP transition which took place in early 1983. Since that
- time the network has undergone many changes, the most noteable
- being the creation of the Defense Data Network (DDN) and the
- ARPANET/MILNET split, leaving the ARPANET as a research and
- development network, and MILNET as an operational military
- network.
-
- An updated and much expanded version of the IPTW is needed to
- reflect these changes, and the 1985 DDN Protocol Handbook is a
- response to this need. The cost is $110 domestic, and $130
- foreign, including 4th class postage (check, money order, or
- purchase order accepted).
-
- The 1985 DDN Protocol Handbook is divided into three volumes:
-
- 1. The first volume includes Military Standard (MIL STD)
- protocols as well as administrative guidelines pertaining to
- the MILNET portion of the DDN.
-
- 2. The second volume includes the DARPA Internet protocols as
- well as administrative guidelines pertaining to the ARPANET
- portion of the DDN. Most of these protocols have also been
- issued as RFCs.
-
- 3. The third volume contains several background articles,
- implementation guidelines, and additional protocol
- specifications. This volume is relevant to both portions of
- the network, and should be used in conjunction with the other
- two volumes.
-
- The Table of Contents of the three volumes is given in
- Appendix A.

- How to get the Old Protocol Workbook - 1982:
-
- The 1982 edition of the Protocol Handbook is a five volume set.
- These documents were distributed in hardcopy by the NIC, but are
- now out of print. Many of the protocols are also RFCs which are
- available online or in hardcopy from the NIC. The complete
- documents may be obtained from the National Technical Information
- Service (NTIS), or the Defense Technical Information Service
- (DTIC). The documents and their NTIS order numbers are:
-
- Internet Protocol Transition Workbook (IPTW) ADA153607

-
- How to get the MIL STD Internet Protocol Documents:
-
- Several of the Internet protocol documents have been issued as
- military standards (MIL-STDs). The MIL-STDs listed below are the
- official DoD versions of these commmunication protocols and should
- be consulted for any implementations. These documents are
- available from the Naval Publications and Forms Center. Requests
- can be initiated by telephone, telegraph, or mail; however, it is
- preferred that private industry use form DD1425, if possible.
- These five documents are included in the 1985 DDN Protocol
- Handbook.
-
- Internet Protocol (IP) MIL-STD-1777
- Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) MIL-STD-1778
- File Transfer Protocol (FTP) MIL-STD-1780
- Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) MIL-STD-1781
- Telnet Protocol and Options (TELNET) MIL-STD-1782
-
- Order From:
-
- Naval Publications and Forms Center, Code 3015
- 5801 Tabor Ave
- Philadelphia, PA 19120
- Phone: 1-215-697-3321 (order tape)
- 1-215-697-4834 (conversation)
-
- There may also be brokers in your area that will handle orders for
- MIL-STDs. One such vendor for MIL-STD documents is Global
- Engineering.
-
- Relationship between the RFC versions and the MIL STD versions:
-
- The ARPA community specifications for IP (RFC-791) and TCP
- (RFC-793) and the DoD specifications above are intended to
- describe exactly the same protocols. Any difference in the
- protocols specified by these sets of documents should be reported
- to DCA and to DARPA. The RFCs and the MIL-STDs for IP and TCP
- differ in style and level of detail. It is strongly advised that
- the two sets of documents be used together. The ARPA and the DoD
- specifications for the FTP, SMTP, and Telnet protocols are
- essentially the same documents (RFCs 765, 821, 854). Note that
- the current ARPA specification for FTP is RFC-959. The MIL-STD
- versions have been edited slightly. Implementers should also
- check the "Official Protocols" memo for comments on protocol
- status or pending changes (RFC-961). DDN implementators should
-
