The Federal Research Internet Committee and the National Research Network
TLDR
Today's computer networks are seen as outdated and inadequate for the purposes they were designed to fulfill.
Annotated Bibliography on Network Interconnection
  • E. Biersack
  • Computer Science
    IEEE J. Sel. Areas Commun.

TLDR
This bibliography covers the various aspects of network interconnection and covers topics such as interconnection among various types of networks, backbone networks, standardization efforts, interconnection techniques, formal approaches, network management, protocol issues, addressing and naming, routing, performance evaluation, gateway implementations, and existing products.
Inventing the Internet
TLDR
In Inventing the Internet, Janet Abbate unfolds an often twisting tale of collaboration and conflict among a remarkable variety of players, including government and military agencies, computer scientists in academia and industry, graduate students, telecommunications companies, standards organizations, and network users.
Efficient storage of nonadaptive routing tables
An algorithm for improving storage utilization for nonadaptive routing tables in point-to-point networks is presented. It allows storage vs. access time tradeoffs. The algorithm is quite general, and…
A Weak-Consistency Architecture for Distributed Information Services
TLDR
This architecture implements the replicas as a weak-consistency process group, which provides good scalability and availability, handles portable computer systems, and minimizes the effect of users on each other.
The ARPANET after twenty years
The ARPANET began operations in 1969 with four nodes as an experiment in resource sharing among computers. It has evolved into a worldwide research network of over 60,000 nodes, influencing the…
Retrieving highly dynamic widely distributed information
TLDR
Distinctive features of the content and access methods of information on wide area nets are discussed from an IR perspective and the development, algorithms, and analysis of a functioning system are presented.
EUnet and OSI Transition Plans
The experimental literature of the internet: an annotated bibliography

Network Protocols
TLDR
This paper is a tutorial about network hierarchies, using the Reference Model of Open Systems Interconnectmn developed by the International Organization for Standardization as a grade to illustrate the principles.
Mail Routing using Domain Names: An Informal Tour
TLDR
Four of the major mail networks, the DARPA Internet, UUCP, CSNET and BITNET, tentatively plan to adopt a common naming scheme, based on one adopted by the Internet, which has required considerable conversion work, particularly in the area of mail routing.
History and overview of CSNET
TLDR
The history, the goals, the organization, the components, and the status of CSNET are reviewed.
The DARPA internet protocol suite
TLDR
The DARPA experimental internet system consisting of satellite, terrestrial, radio, and local networks, all interconnected through a system of gateways and a set of common protocols, supports an architecture consisting of multiple packet switched networks interconnected by gateways.
Structuring computer-mediated communication systems to avoid information overload
Unless computer-mediated communication systems are structured, users will be overloaded with information. But structure should be imposed by individuals and user groups according to their needs and…
Mail routing and the domain system
This RFC presents a description of how mail systems on the Internet are expected to route messages based on information from the domain system. This involves a discussion of how mailers interpret MX…
The computer science research network CSNET: a history and status report
TLDR
For an NSF division with an annual budget of $25 million, the award represents an unusual commitment to a single project; only a handful of such large awards have been made.
Computer Networking for Scientists
TLDR
The pace and complexity of modern research, especially collaborations of researchers in different institutions, has dramatically increased scientists' communications needs and they now need immediate access to data and information, to colleagues and collaborators, and to advanced computing and information services.
