FORMAN +REQUEST FOR COMMENTS # 274 MITRE +NIC # 7901 1 November 1971 +CATEGORIES F, G +UPDATES: NONE +OBSOLETES: NONE + + + ESTABLISHING A LOCAL GUIDE FOR NETWORK USAGE + + + Actual experiences and experimentation with network systems and +subsystems will be an important supplement to existing NIC +documentation. For this reason, MITRE, to facilitate local user +access to network resources, is planning to establish a local GUIDE TO +NETWORK USAGE to supplement the Resources Notebook and other NIC +documentation. The Guide will be tailored to the needs of MITRE users +and will contain information on network systems and subsystems. (We +cannot precisely define systems and subsystems at this time but as an +example of what we have in mind, TENNEX at SRI is a system and NLS is +a subsystem.) + + The Guide will be implemented under NLS in much the same fashion +as the NIC LOCATOR SYSTEM. Information gathered that is appropriate +for the NIC but not yet included will be submitted for inclusion in +the NIC. + + Attached is an outline of the proposed NLS files for the Guide +System. The information included in the Guide will be sufficiently +detailed to enable local users who are unfamiliar with the network, +its terminology, and stores of reference material to utilize resources +at foreign hosts via the network. + + Sites will be included in the Guide as local users gain +experience with systems and subsystems located at the remote sites. +Therefore, the sites most likely to be in the Guide will be those that +can be used to support MITRE projects. + + We are planning to coordinate our efforts in this undertaking +with a similar effort at the National Bureau of Standards. We believe +that such endeavors will result in valuable contributions to the NIC, + + + + + + + + + + + [Page 1] + +particularly to the Network Resources Notebook. Although the Guide +will be tailored for MITRE users, it will contain information of +general interest to other network users and will be made accessible to +them through NLS. + + The Guide should become operational during December 1971. Any +comments on proposed contents of the Guide are welcome. Anyone +wishing to cooperate in this effort should contact E. Forman at MITRE. + + + + [ This RFC was put into machine readable form for entry ] + [ into the online RFC archives by BBN Corp. under the ] + [ direction of Alex McKenzie. 12/96 ] + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + [Page 2] + +ATTACHMENT + + + An NLS "Site File" will be built for each site at which a +resource is presently available to network users at MITRE.

A RESOURCE LOCATOR FILE +will contain a table of contents of the SITE FILES and a list of the +subsystems surveyed for each of these sites.
