Request for Comments: 980                               Jon Postel (ISI)
                                                              March 1986

                  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 [e-mail].  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).

RFC 980                                                       March 1986
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
         Internet Protocol Implementation Guide (IPIG)         ADA153624

RFC 980                                                       March 1986
Protocol Document Order Information


   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: [phone] (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
