New Version of Internet Domain Diagram Now Available A new version of the Internet Domain Diagram suitable for PostScript compatible laser printers is now available via anonymous FTP from omnigate.clarkson.edu (128.153.4.2) from the directory PostScript There are two versions each in compressed and noncompressed form: domain.3x2.ps (120K) and domain.3x2.ps.Z (30K) domain.2x1.ps (120K) and domain.2x1.ps.Z (30K) Both versions show the same information, in the same format. However, simply enlarging the smaller of the two does NOT create the same internal dimensions of the larger one (IE: the line thickness would change) and would produce undesirable effects. The first version uses six pages (3x2 grid) the second (less readable but legible) uses two pages. Both versions print with some overlap so that it is possible to tape them together seamlessly. Note: The current Internet Diagram, available from SRI-NIC.ARPA requires nine pages. Each file is composed of 'compiled' postscript which is NOT conforming postscript. The code was 'compiled' by running the original PostScript code through a NeWS psh and can be printed on the average PostScript laser printer in approximately five minutes per page. The fonts /Helvetica and /Helvetica-Bold are all the required fonts. The original PostScript code is not available, but may be in the future. For those who are interested, here's how the printouts where created: The original code has embedded in it arrays within arrays which describe any tree like topology. The postscript code attempts to maximize the size of printed objects while traversing the tree and determining each objects orientation. The code was originally designed to provide an automatic method for generating Clarkson University's Ethernet diagram. The code is composed of four major parts: 1. Prologue, subroutine definitions. 2. Data. usually machine generated 3. local definition mods (modifies data section) 4. Trailer - printout format specifics (ie: size etc) In the case of the Internet Diagram the data section was obtained from the domain.list file from SRI-NIC.arpa. For the Clarkson University diagram we obtain the data from the same database which feeds our Nameserver. You can also FTP a copy of the Clarkson University diagram from the PostScript directory the file is clarkson.2x1.ps (60K) and clarkson.2x1.ps.Z (15K). This diagram uses distinct symbols for hosts,routers,bridges etc Also included are various line and laser printers. Clarkson University makes no representation or warranty as to the suitability or reliability of these files. You may copy them for your own use. You may direct inquiries or suggestions (always welcome) to bkc@omnigate.clarkson.edu Please remember that these diagrams were not meant to be visually appealing, but rather provide a quick means to automatically regenerate our current network diagram without painstaking redrawing by hand.

Or are they already available in such a way? To request a file from PostScript send to: archive-server@sun.soe.clarkson.edu mail of the form send PostScript file or index PostScript or help Eg. send PostScript clarkson.2x1.ps The current contents of the PostScript directory are: 71770 Aug 3 08:27 clarkson.2x1.ps # Clarkson network map 149389 Aug 3 08:28 domain.2x1.ps # Internet Network map, 2 by 1 sheets 149389 Aug 3 08:28 domain.3x2.ps # Internet Network map, 3 by 2 sheets Rob rob@sun.soe.clarkson.edu

I'm not familiar with this path for printing, but as of this posting over 600 sites have downloaded the diagrams and I have received failure notes from only six ppl. In all six cases, the files did not print due to lack of memory space in the printer. I suggest you try to print the files via another route so that you can be sure the laser printer isn't getting any permanently downloaded code stuck in it. The six cases I mentioned got theirs to print by, turning off the printer turning it back on sending the diagram as the VERY FIRST thing I stress VERY FIRST, the mac often downloads junk like laserprep that uses too much space. I suggest you download ehandler.ps then print the file. If you get a VMerror then you have probably run out of memory. If you get any other error than the file was probably corrupted in transit. Both diagrams print on a regular Apple Laserwriter with the ehandler resident (but nothing else) The reason the files gobble memory is because the entire array of drawing instructions need to be stored in memory for the printposter routine to work. You could edit the file, place two copies of printposter and two copies of all the drawing instructions and do it w/ less memory. But the final file size would be n pages times the size of the original file. -Brad Clements bkc@omnigate.clarkson.edu
