+
+
+1. Introduction
+
+1a. Background and Purpose
+
+ On 1 June 1989, several members of the IETF User Services Working
+ Group convened an interim working group session at the JVNC
+ Supercomputer Center in Princeton, NJ. The purpose of the meeting
+ was to form a distinct working group that would assemble a
+ bibliography of useful information about the Internet for end users
+ and for those who help end users. The first official meeting of the
+ User Documents Working Group was held at the Stanford IETF in July
+ 1989. The goal of the working group was to prepare a bibliography of
+ on-line and hard copy documents, reference materials, and multimedia
+ training tools that address general networking information and "how
+ to use the Internet". The target audience was beginner level and
+ intermediate level end users.
+
+1b. Scope
+
+ This bibliography is the result of volunteer work provided by members
+ of the User Documents Working Group. The intent of this effort is to
+ present a representative collection of materials that will help the
+ reader become familiar with the concepts of internetworking and will
+ form the basis for future study. This is, quite simply, a good place
+ to start. References to other sources of information within this
+ collection of materials will be useful to readers who wish to pursue,
+ in greater depth, the issues and complexities of the current
+ networking environment. Please send comments to us-wg@nnsc.nsf.net.
+
+1c. Organization of Document
+
+ This version of the bibliography is divided into 10 distinct
+ categories of material, and each category is presented in a separate
+ section:
+
+ 2 ARTICLES
+ 3 BIBLIOGRAPHIES
+ 4 BOOKS
+ 5 CONFERENCES AND WORKSHOPS
+ 6 GLOSSARIES
+ 7 GUIDES
+ 8 MULTIMEDIA
+ 9 NEWSLETTERS
+ 10 REPORTS AND PAPERS
+ 11 REQUESTS FOR COMMENTS (RFCs)
+
+ Within each section, material is arranged in alphabetical order by
+ author or authoring organization with the exception of Section 11:
+
+
+
+User Documents Working Group [Page 2]
+
+RFC 1175 FYI - Bibliography August 1990
+
+
+ REQUESTS FOR COMMENTS (RFCs). The RFCs are ordered numerically. All
+ entries contain fairly standard bibliographic information and provide
+ a short abstract with information on how to obtain the particular
+ material addressed.
+
+ For brand new network users, unsure of what to read first, we suggest
+ reading Ed Krol's, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Internet" (listed
+ in the Guide section). For general information on an introduction to
+ Internet protocols, two documents are quite useful: Charles
+ Hedrick's, "Introduction to the Internet Protocols", and Doug Comer's
+ textbook, "Internetworking with TCP/IP: Principles, Protocols, and
+ Architecture". Two excellent guides to existing networks are Tracy
+ L. LaQuey's, "Users' Directory of Computer Networks" and John S.
+ Quarterman's "The Matrix: Computer Networks and Conferencing Systems
+ Worldwide". We strongly encourage the reader to scan the
+ bibliography in its entirety as some items may be more applicable to
+ personal needs or site requirements. (Please note that in many
+ instances the abstracts are excerpts, provided verbatim, from the
+ material described.)
+
+1d. Obtaining Files By Anonymous FTP
+
+ Much of the material referenced in this bibliography is available
+ on-line and can be obtained by using the File Transfer Protocol
+ (FTP). Directions on how to obtain on-line files by anonymous FTP
+ action follow. In this example, the host used is nic.ddn.mil.
+
+ Files may be obtained with the FTP program in conjunction with an
+ ANONYMOUS login. Versions of the FTP program may vary from system to
+ system, so the commands shown in this example may need to be modified
+ to work on your system.
+
+ % ftp nic.ddn.mil <== Use the FTP program to
+ connect to nic.ddn.mil
+ Connected to nic.ddn.mil
+ 220 NIC.DDN.MIL FTP Server 5Z(47)-6 at Fri 23-Jun-89 09:38-PDT
+
+ The system should respond with a message to indicate that a
+ connection has been made. Users on a Unix system will probably be
+ prompted for a login name. Type in "anonymous" as in the example
+ below:
+
+ Name (nic.ddn.mil:kbowers): anonymous
+ 331 ANONYMOUS user ok, send real ident as password.
+ Password: <== Type in <guest> at the password prompt
+
+ Other systems may require the use of a "login" or "user" command to
+ send the username to the server computer. Users unsure of the
+
+
+
+User Documents Working Group [Page 3]
+
+RFC 1175 FYI - Bibliography August 1990
+
+
+ command should contact a local site representative for the specific
+ commands.
+
+ After the username and password are sent to the system, a message to
+ indicate that the login has been made successfully should appear:
+
+ 230 User ANONYMOUS logged in at Fri 23-Jun-89 09:39-PDT, job 17.
+
+ The user then connects to the directory in which the document to be
+ retrieved resides. This is done with the cd command:
+
+ ftp> cd RFC:
+ 331 Default name accepted. Send password to connect to it.
+
+ The user should now be connected to the RFC: directory. The "dir" or
+ "ls" command will list the files available in this directory.
+
+ ftp> dir
+ 200 Port 4.124 at host 192.33.33.51 accepted.
+ 150 List started.
+ *** At this point a list of the files in the directory
+ should appear **
+ 226 Transfer completed.
+
+ The "get" command will get any file in the directory.
+
+ ftp> get RFC821.TXT
+ 200 Port 4.125 at host 192.33.33.51 accepted.
+ 150 ASCII retrieve of TS<RFC>RFC.821.TXT.1 (49 pages) started.
+ 226 Transfer completed. 124482 (8) bytes transferred.
+ local: RFC.821.TXT remote: RFC.821.TXT
+ 124482 bytes received in 55 seconds (2.2 Kbytes/s)
+
+ The "quit" command leaves the FTP program.
+
+ ftp> quit
+ 221 QUIT command received. Goodbye.
+
+1e. Submitting Entries to the Bibliography

+ viable solution is a national research network organized and
+ maintained by the Federal government. However, the success of
+ such a venture is tied to the need for effective leadership in
+ communications and a coordinated Federal science and technology
+ policy.

+
+ Learning how to use a computer system properly takes much longer
+ than simply learning the mechanics of making it do things.
+ Learning to use a system without offending other users and to
+ maximum benefit involves etiquette. Learning to use a system
+ without causing harm to others involves ethics. These are not
+ completely separable subjects, and the former tends to blend into
+ the latter as the seriousness of the situation increases. This
+ article presents a discussion of these subjects, and some
+ suggested guidelines for appropriate behavior.

+11. REQUEST FOR COMMENTS (RFC)
+
+11.a The Request for Comments Document Series
+
+ The RFCs are working notes of the Internet research and development
+ community. A document in this series may be on essentially any topic
+ related to computer communication, and may be anything from a meeting
+ report to the specification of a standard.
+
+ Most RFCs are the descriptions of network protocols or services,
+ often giving detailed procedures and formats providing the
+ information necessary for creating implementations. Other RFCs
+ report on the results of policy studies or summarize the work of
+ technical committees or workshops.
+
+ Note: Currently, all standards are published as RFCs, but not all
+ RFCs specify standards.
+
+ Anyone can submit a document for publication as an RFC. Submissions
+ must be made via electronic mail to the RFC Editor. The RFC Editor
+ is Jon Postel (Postel@ISI.EDU).
+
+ While RFCs are not refereed publications, they do receive technical
+ review from either the task forces, individual technical experts, or
+ the RFC Editor, as appropriate.
+
+ RFCs are distributed on-line by being stored as public access files,
+ and a short message is sent to the RFC distribution list (RFC-
+ REQUEST@NIC.DDN.MIL) indicating the availability of the memo.
+
+ The on-line files are copied by the interested people and printed or
+ displayed at their site on their equipment. An RFC may also be
+ returned via email in response to an email query. RFCs can be
+ obtained via FTP from NIC.DDN.MIL, with the pathname RFC:RFCnnnn.TXT
+ (where "nnnn" refers to the number of the RFC). Login with FTP,
+ username "anonymous", password "guest".
+
+ The DDN Network Information Center (NIC) also provides an automatic
+ mail service for those sites which cannot use FTP. Address the
+ request to SERVICE@NIC.DDN.MIL and in the subject field of the
+ message indicate the RFC number, as in "Subject: RFC nnnn".
+
+ RFCs can also be contained via FTP from NIS.NSF.NET. Using FTP,
+ login with username "anonymous", and password "guest"; then connect
+ to the RFC directory (cd RFC). The file name is of the form
+ RFCnnnn.TXT-1 (where "nnnn" refers to the number of the RFC).
+
+ The NSFNet Network Information Service (NIS) also provides an
+
+
+
+User Documents Working Group [Page 31]
+
+RFC 1175 FYI - Bibliography August 1990
+
+
+ automatic mail service for those sites which cannot use FTP. Address
+ the request to NIS-INFO@NIS.NSF.NET and leave the subject field of
+ the message blank. The first line of the text of the message must be
+ "SEND RFCnnnn.TXT-1", where "nnnn" is replaced by the RFC number.
+ This means that the format of the online files must meet the
+ constraints of a wide variety of printing and display equipment.
+
+ Once a document is assigned an RFC number and published, that RFC is
+ never revised or re-issued with the same number. There is never a
+ question of having the most recent version of a particular RFC.
+ However, a protocol (such as File Transfer Protocol (FTP)) may be
+ improved and re-documented many times in several different RFCs. It
+ is important to verify that you have the most recent RFC on a
+ particular protocol.
+
+ The Internet Activities Board (IAB) published the "IAB Official
+ Protocol Standards" (currently RFC-1140), which describes the state
+ of standardization of protocols used in the Internet. This document
+ is issued quarterly. Current copies may be obtained from the DDN
+ Network Information Center or from the Internet Assigned Numbers
+ Authority. Please refer to the latest edition of the "IAB Protocol
+ Standards" RFC for current information on the state and status of
+ standard Internet protocols.
+
+ The complete set of all RFCs issued is maintained at, and available
+ from, the DDN Network Information Center at SRI International. For
+ further information, phone: 1-800-235-3155 (E-mail: NIC@NIC.DDN.MIL).
+ Subsets of this master set (shadow copies) are maintained at MERIT
+ and CSNET. Use of the RFC repositories at these sites may be more
+ suitable to your network connectivity requirements. Please note,
+ however, that the NIC.DDN.MIL is the central repository and will
+ contain the most up-to-date set of RFCs.
