NIC@SRI-NIC.ARPA (DDN Reference) (02/19/88)
Many of you are probably interested in tracking the development of ISO products since the DoD announcement to support ISO. The Defense Data Network (DDN) document, the "DDN Protocol Implementations and Vendors Guide", produced by the DDN Network Information Center (NIC), contains product descriptions of TCP/IP, X.25 and ISO products. It is being updated for release at the end of the month. For those of you who are fairly new to the network, this document is a guide to implementations and products associated with the DDN suite of data communications protocols. It is published for informational purposes only. Although inclusion does not constitute an endorsement on behalf of DoD, the product descriptions may help you to locate useful products or implementations. To assist with the network's transition to ISO protocols, we are making every attempt to include descriptions of ISO-based products. Over the last few months many vendors have been letting us know about their TCP/IP and ISO product line. If you know of any work being done in support of TCP/IP, ISO, or X.25 that you would like to see listed in this guide, please let the NIC know. For your convenience, we developed an online template for easily filling out the type of information we are seeking. The template is on the SRI-NIC.ARPA host in the file NETINFO:VENDORS-TEMPLATE.TXT and may be FTPed or obtained through SERVICE, the NIC's automatic mail service. For instructions or questions about any of the above, contact NIC@SRI-NIC.ARPA or call us at 1-800-235-3155 or 415-859-3695. -Francine Perillo /DDN NIC -------
