1-1 A BRIEF HISTORY

A network is a group of connected,


communicating devices such as
computers and printers. An internet is
two or more networks that can
communicate with each other. The most
notable internet is called the internet,

1-2 PROTOCOLS AND STANDARDS

In this section, we define two widely


used terms: protocols and standards.
First, we define protocol, which is
synonymous with “rule.” Then we
discuss standards, which are agreed-
upon rules.

1-4 INTERNET STANDARDS

An Internet standard is a thoroughly


tested specification that is useful to and
adhered to by those who work with the
Internet. It is a formalized regulation
that must be followed. There is a strict
procedure by which a specification
attains Internet standard status. A
specification begins as an Internet draft.
An Internet draft is a working document
with no official status and a six-month
lifetime.

1-5 INTERNET ADMINISTRATION

The Internet, with its roots primarily in


the research domain, has evolved and
gained a broader user base with
significant commercial activity. Various
groups that coordinate Internet issues
have guided this growth and
development. Appendix G gives the
addresses, e-mail addresses, and
telephone numbers for some of these
groups. Figure 1.4 shows the general
organization of Internet administration.
