Science networks: A short overview
This chapter aims to give a user-oriented view of some current networking developments. A recommendable background article on networking, which is still very topical, is Quarterman & Hoskins (1986).… Expand

Routing management in very large-scale networks
TLDR
This paper presents a new hierarchical network architecture designed to solve the problems with existing network architectures and adaptive routing algorithms when they are applied to very large networks and compares it with others previously proposed from the standpoint of the savings in routing overhead and the optimality of the paths obtained. Expand
Inventing the Internet
From the Publisher: In Inventing the Internet, Janet Abbate focuses on the social and cultural factors that influenced the Internet's design and use. She unfolds an often twisting tale of… Expand
Tracking the global diffusion on the Internet
TLDR
This column surveys some of the organizations tracking the global diffusion of the Internet, and presents some of what they see. Expand
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… Expand
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. Expand

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. Expand

TLDR
The history, the goals, the organization, the components, and the status of CSNET are reviewed. Expand
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. Expand
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… Expand
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… Expand
