DARPA Internet Documents to be posted here in the coming weeks

Over the next few weeks I will be distributing many of the most
important Internet documents on protocols and the like. These "Request
For Comments" are the key documents to understanding the operation of
many of the DARPA Internet protocols.
Part of the reason I am distributing them here is because many Unix (tm)
systems utilize these protocols as the basis for much of their
networking, mail, and other related items, even though a particular
system might not be connected to the Internet.
Hosts who are connected to the Internet may retrieve these documents
from the Network Information Center (host SRI-NIC.ARPA) with anonymous
FTP. Uucp hosts can't normally get them, so I'm posting them.
Note that these documents are in line-printer-ready format. They have
60 or fewer lines per page, 80 or fewer characters per line, and have
only newlines, spaces, and form-feeds in them for format effectors.
They are not available in any other form.
Some of the documents are quite large; I've broken these up into smaller
chunks for distribution. They are broken at line boundaries; just glue
them back together to get the original document back. No chunk will
exceed 56KB; most average around 38KB.
If you know of other Darpa Internet RFCs or suchlike that you think
would be a good idea to post, let me know and I'll look into it.
I'm told you may make as many copies and distribute these documents in
any way you'd like.
