We're trying to setup some sort of tcp-based network and would like to read some documents detailing how to chose a tcp address. i.e. the 4 number string. Could someone please point me towards an article/paper which describes how to chose such a network ad- dress? We've got a Vax 750 running (soon) Ultrix 2.0 & are trying to connect a VMS machine using their tcp package. Later we hope to add some Suns to this network. Any references or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

RFCs are one of the best source for this. RFC 992 discusses Internet Numbers. There are other RFCs such as RFC 950 dealing with subnetting, and RFC 882 and RFC 883 dealing with Domain names which may prove to be very useful. Aside from that there is a DDN Protocol handbook call 1(800)235-3155 for ordering info. This handbook contains background info as well numerous RFCs.
