Internet Protocol Handbook
Table of Contents
The internet family of protocols is replacing 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.]

§1The Planned Handbook
The Internet Protocol Handbook was planned by the Network Information Center as the Internet family of protocols replaced the old ARPANET protocols. The RFC says the handbook was tentatively planned to be available at the end of 1980.
It was intended to parallel the ARPANET Protocol Handbook and primarily collect existing RFCs and IENs. RFC 774 replaces the earlier draft table of contents in RFC 766.
The handbook was planned as a collection of existing RFCs and IENs. This memo gives a draft list of its contents.
§2How the Contents Are Grouped
The draft table of contents has sections for Overview, Gateway Level, Host Level, Application Level and Appendices. Gateway and host entries include documents on Internet Protocol, User Datagram Protocol and Transmission Control Protocol.
The application section includes entries for time service, name service, trivial file transfer, Telnet, file transfer, mail transfer and Internet Message Protocol. The appendices list assigned numbers, address mappings, document file format standards and mail header format standards.
The outline moves from an overview to gateway and host protocols, then applications and appendices. It lists document titles with RFC or IEN identifiers.
§1Finding the Listed Documents
The memo says RFCs and IENs are public-access document files that can be copied from the Network Information Center's online Library at SRI-KL using FTP with the user name ANONYMOUS and password GUEST.
IEN file pathnames include a hyphen before the number, while RFC pathnames do not. The RFC points out this naming inconsistency.
The memo gives an FTP location and account details for retrieving the listed documents. It notes a difference in the IEN and RFC filename patterns.
