Some of these documents are published, others are available on line through the Internet. Many of the online documents are available via "anonymous ftp" from icarus.cns.syr.edu at Syracuse University, in a directory called ~ftp/info. The directory con- tains a README file as well as a list of titles, a list of abstracts, and an index. Syracuse University Network Bibliography 1 Topics GENERAL NETWORKING [1] is a set of case studies of campus networks. [29] is a classic article listing and describing several research and education-oriented networks which span the globe. [28] is a a more comprehensive update of it. [22] is a directory listing computers and sites on various networks. [54] is a description of networks at Syracuse University. [40] is a more technical introduction to computer networks. ELECTRONIC MAIL [41] is a guide to using electronic mail at Syracuse Universi- ty. It describes one of the easier ways to participate: using the EMAIL program on Academic Computing Services' IBM system, SUVM. [12] is a reference manual for EMAIL and [13] is an installation manual for it: useful to IBM system programmers. [8] is a general user introduction to BITNET including some pointers on electronic mail. [2] deals with various BITNET ser- vices including aids to using electronic mail. [43] has informa- tion on how to send mail to various electronic mail networks through gateways; [5], [14], [28], [29], and [22] all contain more such information. The latter also has directories of com- puters and sites on some networks. It is supposed to be updated in 1990 and should then be very valuable. [42] has a lot of background material on how mail works on BITNET and the Internet. [45] tells how to use the NYSERNet White Pages Project at Syra- cuse University; [30] [32], and [33], describe it more fully. [44] tells about a similar facility by and for Syracuse Universi- ty (NSERVE). BITNET [8] is a general user introduction to BITNET services. [2] is a list of services one can get through BITNET, but will be obscure to the beginning user. [9] is a monthly "electronic mag- azine" about BITNET services and related topics. [41] is about using electronic mail including on BITNET and is the best introduction to someone who needs to use BITNET for electronic mail. [12] is a reference manual for the EMAIL pro- gram, a program which runs on IBM mainframe systems, allowing users to send electronic mail through BITNET. [13] is the installation manual for the same program. Topics 2 INTERNET User-Oriented [49], [50], and [51] are help sheets for beginners who want to use Internet services from Syracuse University Academic Computing Services' three mainframes, RODAN, SUNRISE, and SUVM. [47] is a similar sheet for Macintoshes at Syracuse University, both in the Academic Computing Services Macintosh clusters and various departmental Macintosh networks attached to the Syracuse Univer- sity Internet. [48] is not as user-oriented, having mainly a few hints as to how to get your PC on the Internet. [46] is about a particular service, "Anonymous FTP"; [16] is a directory of such Anonymous FTP sites. [21] is a more general document about vari- ous services available on the Internet. [20] is a directory of services available through the Internet. [27] is a periodical about NYSERNet. General These documents are highly technical, but are broad in scope. All, to some degree try to give an overview of "internetworking", though some go to much more depth than others. The more basic are [11], [19], [21], and [53]. [6], is probably no harder to read, but is longer and goes into more depth. [36] covers the most territory. [52] is a set of slides from a general presenta- tion on the Internet. Specialized [7] deals with the implementation of internet software. [10] defines the standard for the text of electronic messages sent over an internet. [18] deals with the problem of administering an internet. [58], [59], and [61] deal with the same subject, but are more oriented towards the manager of a single system or the adminis- trator of a department's network and are also oriented towards Syracuse University. [26] is a map of NYSERNet; [39] and [56] are, respectively, a map of the Syracuse University part of the Internet and a description of it. [3] and [4] describe what an Internet Host should be able to do in detail. [15] and [37] tell how to program internet-based applications. Syracuse University Network Bibliography 3 OSI [31] and [34] are broad, advanced looks at the OSI protocols. LOCAL AREA NETWORKS [24] is a technical introduction to local area networks. [35] is an overview of the protocols used by local area networks. [38] is a reading list for managers for UNIX/Ethernet-based local area networks. OTHER [25] is a technical introduction to serial communications. Topics 4 Target Audiences NETWORK USERS Beginning [41] is an introduction for someone wanting to use electronic mail at Syracuse University. [49], [50], and [51] are introduc- tions to using Internet services from Academic Computing Servi- ces' three mainframes. [8] is a general introduction to using BITNET, describing some of the services beyond electronic mail that are available. [46] describes "Anonymous FTP" service, a particular service available to the Internet user; [16] is a directory of sites that provide this service. [27] is a monthly newsletter about NYSERNet. Advanced Advanced users may find various other documents useful. This list includes only those which are aimed at the advanced user. [21] has more advanced information about services available through the Internet. [20] lists various resources or services available through the Internet. [2] and [9] have some such information about BITNET. [43] is a Syracuse University document about how to send mail to various networks; [5], [14], [28], and [29] have more such information. [44] and [45] have information about automated electronic-mail directories. [30], [32], and [33] provide more information about one of the two (NYSERNet White Pages Project). NETWORK CONSULTANTS It is assumed that all the user documentation is useful to the consultant--this list consists of additional documentation designed for the consultant. [57] is designed specifically for the consultant, including hints and quirks about the internet as well as pointers to other information. [19] and [53] are useful overviews of the technical side of internet networking; [52] is a set of slides from one particular presentation on the same sub- ject. [26] and [39] are maps. [56] is a description of the Syr- acuse University Internet and serves as a key to the second map. [22] and [42] deal with electronic mail. [54] is a general over- view of networks at Syracuse University. Syracuse University Network Bibliography 5 SYSTEM MANAGERS AND DEPARTMENTAL NETWORK MANAGERS [59], [58], and [61] are Syracuse University's documents for managers of LANs or computers on the Internet. [39] is a map of the Syracuse University Internet and [56] is a description of it. [18] is a similar, more general document, more oriented toward managing entire campus internets. [13] is a specific document for system managers who might want to install the EMAIL program on an IBM mainframe running VM. [48] is a very brief overview of how to put an IBM PC or compatible computer on the Syracuse Uni- versity Internet. [38] is a reading list for managers for UNIX/ Ethernet-based local area networks. NETWORK OPERATORS [60] is a guide to operating the Syracuse University Internet; [17] is a flowchart covering a lot of the same ground. [39] and [56], a map and a description of the Syracuse University Inter- net, are vital for operating it. [53] presents the basic con- cepts of internets. [19] or [11] also present basic concepts and either could serve the network operator as well. NETWORK ANALYSTS All the documents listed for the system managers, departmental network managers, network operators, network consultants, and advanced network users are useful to the network analyst. The following are also of interest: [1], [6], [7], [10], [11], [23], [24], [40], [34], [35], [36], and [55]. NETWORK APPLICATIONS PROGRAMMERS Network applications can be written in command languages using network use programs so the applications programmer should look over the material for users. [15] and [37] are good references on writing Internet applications in Unix. [6], [7], [11], [19], and [53] cover internets in general and some include some specif- ic information on applications programming. NETWORK SOFTWARE & HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION The implementer generally needs to know the material that the network applications programmer needs to know plus information on the standards that he/she will implement and what the best way to implement these standards are. [10], [34], [35], [36], and [40] include information about standards. [3] and [4] provide both standards and implementation advice. [7] and [23] discuss imple- mentation.
