DDN (Defense Data Network) Protocol Handbook. Volume 2. DARPA Internet Protocols

Abstract

This second volume contains protocol information pertaining to the DARPA Internet community. It includes specifications for all current official DARPA Internet protocols plus auxiliary information needed to implement the protocols. The review process for acceptance of a new protocol for use by the DARPA Internet research community is described, as is the administrative structure of the DARPA Internet Research program. Some of the protocols in this volume have now been adopted as DoD military Standards (MIL STDs). The MIL STD versions can be found in Volume One. Note that the specification style is different for the two versions of protocols, with more emphasis being put on descriptive detail in the case of the DARPA Internet documents. This makes the DARPA documents helpful for researchers who are interested in the development of the protocol, or who are planning to write protocol implementation programs.
