                           Internet Protocol Handbook

    In recent years the ARPA Network Research Program has had as one concern
    the interconnection of networks.  In the course of this research a
    family of protocols suitable for an internetwork environment has
    emerged.  Much of this work is documented in a series of project memos
    called Internet Experiment Notes or IENs.  A few of these IENs document
    protocols in the internet protocol family.  Most of the major internet
    protocol documents have also been issued as RFCs.

    The situation has evolved to the point that it is appropriate for the
    internet family of protocols to replace the old ARPANET protocols.  To
    this end an Internet Protocol Handbook will be prepared by the Network
    Information Center.  This Handbook is tentatively planned to be
    available at the end of 1980.  This Internet Protocol Handbook will
    closely parallel the old ARPANET Protocol Handbook, and will primarily
    be a collection of existing RFCs and IENs.

    Attached is the current draft table of contents for the Internet
    Protocol Handbook.  Any suggestions for additions should be sent to Jon
    Postel (Postel@ISIF).

    RFCs and IENs are public access document files and may be copied from
    the Network Information Center online Library at SRI-KL via FTP using
    the FTP user name ANONYMOUS and password GUEST.  The IENs have pathnames
    of the form "<NETINFO>IEN-nnn.TXT", and the RFCs have pathnames of the
    form "<NETINFO>RFCnnn.TXT", where "nnn" is replaced by the document
    number.  [Note the inconsistency: IENs have a hyphen in the pathname,
    RFCs don't.]
