The first section supplies background information about DDN protocol policy, and about the protocols themselves. Such information includes qualification testing and evaluation procedures, and how to obtain pertinent documentation. The next two sections of the document list software implementations alphabetically by machine type, and hardware implementations alphabetically by company. Information given about products includes their history, documentation, contact person, and distributor. The fourth section describes analysis tools. It includes information about network analysis products, such as protocol and network analyzers. This guide does not specifically endorse or recommend any product. 20.
