The IETF's home page is http://www.ietf.org/ This is _the_ authorative source for RFCs (which include all the standards for TCP/IP), FYIs, drafts, and other infos about the internet and TCP/IP. A good place to look for RFCs is the Kashpureff Family's site, at http://www.kashpureff.org/nic/, which has a copy of all RFCs and drafts, as well as a search engine to search for keywords through either RFCs or drafts. Another source for RFCs is rfc-info@isi.edu - to get further info, send a message with any subject, and with the body having one line, containing either "help", or "help: ways_to_get_rfcs". Note : the RFCs are the documents giving the official documentation to the various internet protocols. For specs / description / details / info about any internet protocol, first look at the Kashpureff Family site or get the RFCs index via email. An excellent index of RFCs is available in an appendix in Comer's first volume, but it is current as of the publishing date only. Comment : as many people seem to look for RFCs on CD-ROMs, I list here two titles I know of : 1. Infomagic has a 2 CDs set titled "STANDARDS" which contains, among other things, all the RFCs & IENs. 2. Walnut-Creek has a CD-ROM titled "Internet Info" which contains some of the RFCs & IENs, among other stuff.

The FAQs.org sites carries RFCs, STDs, and FYIs. Subject indices are available, and RFCs can be viewed by active/all basis, and with several levels of details. Page's URL is http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/ 2. The comp.answers & news.answers newsgroups contain (or at least should) all FAQ postings for the newsgroups dealing with computers. The following newsgroups contain discussion related to TCP/IP : - Newsgroups FAQs are posted periodically to their top-hierarchy answers newsgroup (e.g. comp.os.vms => comp.answers). Those groups, along with news.newusers.questions, are great places to look for FAQs & tips in. - the comp.protocols hierarchy, which covers various networking protocols, such as tcp/ip, kermit, and iso. notice that some TCP/IP related protocols have discussion groups of their own (e.g. NFS, SNMP, NTP, PPP). - the comp.dcom hierarchy, including groups that discuss lans, modems, and ethernet. - the comp.mail hierarchy, which covers various electronic mail programs (pine, elm, sendmail, etc). - The news hierarchy, which covers the various subjects related to usenet, including the NNTP protocol. 3. All the newsgroups' FAQs, as well as other introductory documents are stored at ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/. A good introductory to TCP/IP from the site is the file ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/net/internet.text. The FAQs can be accessed on the web at http://www.faqs.org/ as well. As the rtfm.mit.edu & faqs.org sites might be heavily loaded, and as many sites mirror the FAQs archive, it is advisable to search for FAQs at geographically nearer sites. A list of many mirror sites (allowing access via FTP, WWW, Gopher, mail, etc) is available at : ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/faqs/news-answers/introduction The comp.protocols.tcp-ip group has a FAQ, previously maintained by George V.

The comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc is gated to a mailing list as well, and it is served by listserv@list.nih.gov, under the name PCIP. The alt.winsock newsgroup is gated to a mailing list as well. The mailing list is named winsock@microdyne.com. The [un]subscribe address is, of course, winsock-request@microdyne.com There's an IPv6 mailing list. It's named ipng, and it is served served by Majordomo@sunroof.eng.sun.com 5. RFC #1180 (RFC1180), titled "A TCP/IP Tutorial", is a good tutorial, with a focus on how an IP packet travels from source to destination. RFC #2151 (FYI30), titled "A Primer On Internet and TCP/IP Tools" is a good introductory to TCP/IP tools, such as ping, finger, and traceroute. 3. Misc Web Pages ----------------- 1.

Some other good search engines are AltaVista at http://www.altavista.com/ InfoSeek at http://www.infoseek.com/ Hotbot at http://www.hotbot.com/ The Networked Computer Science Technical Reference Library site is an archive of computer science articles, which can be searched through using an impressive search engine. http://www.ncstrl.org/ The DejaNews site archives all the posts to usenet. The site, at http://www.dejanews.com/, enables users to search through posts sent over the past few years using different methods, which may be combined, such as words from articles, authors, and newsgroups. The ability to find past posts discussing unfamiliar subjects is an endless source of information, and may supply immediate answers to questions asked on usenet in the past. If you wish to have a post of yours not archived in dejanews add the header "X-No-Archive: Yes" to your posting's header, or write it as your article's first line. Notice that this wouldnt prevent other people from quoting your article, thus causing the quoted material to be archived. Other useful features of DejaNews : - Get poster profiles. This gives a count of how many posts did a poster send to each newsgroup, with a poster identified by it's email address. - Search for newsgroups discussing given subjects. As the search is done by frequency of words in posts, the results should be taken with a grain of salt, e.g. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEWSGROUPS WHERE PEOPLE TALK ABOUT: christianity All the newsgroups in the following list contain christianity in some article. The confidence rating indicates how sure we are that people talk about your query in the newsgroup. Clicking on the newsgroup name will show you all of the articles within the group which match your query. Confidence Newsgroup 99% alt.atheism 63% rec.games.frp.misc 54% rec.music.christian 39% alt.religion.christian 38% soc.religion.christian 38% soc.penpals 33% austin.general ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Norwegian University of Science and Technology, located at Trondheim, has an FTP search engine on the web, located at http://ftpsearch.ntnu.no/ftpsearch, that can find files on anonymous FTP servers world wide. The search is similar to the one done by archie, and can be very useful for finding source code for utilities, FAQs, etc. A quick search for the word ping produced the following output : ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ftp.cc.uec.ac.jp (Japan) 1 ftp.cc.uec.ac.jp /.0/4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sbin/ping 2 ftp.cc.uec.ac.jp /.0/4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/i386/floppy/ping 3 ftp.cc.uec.ac.jp /.0/Linux/redhat-4.1/i386/RedHat/instimage/usr/bin/ping 4 ftp.cc.uec.ac.jp /.0/Linux/redhat-devel/i386/RedHat/instimage/usr/bin/ping ftp.dwc.edu (Educational) 5 ftp.dwc.edu /.03/redhat/i386/RedHat/instimage/usr/bin/ping 6 ftp.dwc.edu /.03/redhat/sparc/RedHat/instimage/usr/bin/ping 7 ftp.dwc.edu /.03/redhat/sparc/misc/src/trees/rescue/bin/ping ftp.fujixerox.co.jp (Japan) 8 ftp.fujixerox.co.jp /.1/NetBSD-current/src/sbin/ping [more links snipped] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other files search engine are located at http://www.filez.com/ and http://castor.acs.oakland.edu/cgi-bin/vsl-front/ which can find files for specific platforms (e.g. unix, windows, mac) or specific formats (e.g. wav, midi, fonts, source code). 4.
