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
