It is now one of the subnetworks of the Defense Data Network (DDN) and,-4 as such, is managed by the Defense Data Network Program Management Office (DDN PMO). Policy for the ARPANET is established by DARPA and they also decide who may become subscribers. Subscribers are required to follow certain technical and administrative procedures to connect host computers or other equipment to the DDN. This document describes these procedures as they apply to the ARPANET, provides background and technical information on the ARPANET, and suggests sources of further information on protocol implementations and interface equipment. ) • •, Si i • NC 50003, DECEMBER 1985 ltl - -••S. i•31i l i- E - ---I 1-l NIC 50003, DECEMBER 1985 TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS iii ABSTRACT v SECTION 1.

INTRODUCTION The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) may require its contractors or associated researchers to become ARPANET "subscribers" (sites which have host computers or other equipment connected to the network). In such cases DARPA requests authorization from the Defense Data Network Program Management Office (DDN PMO) to add the required equipment to the network. This document describes the steps necessary for potential subscribers to attach host computers or other equipment to the ARPANET. Administrative and technical procedures are included. References to documents and services, which will be helpful during the process of connecting equipment to the network, are also included and are designated by the number of the reference in brackets, e.g. (1]. 1.1 How To Use This Document "Section 1, the Introduction, explains how this document is organized. Section 2 provides background on the ARPANET, describes the current management structure, and states the criteria for becoming a subscriber. Section 3 presents the administrative and technical procedures necessary to bring a host onto the ARPANET. Different types of neLwork connections and associated costs are described. Section 4 discusses the protocols used on the ARPANET and the DDN, and tells how protocol implementations and documentation may be obtained. Section 5 describes the administrative procedures required for requesting modifications of network software or hardware. Sections 6 and 7 describe the services and personnel available to help with the process of connecting equipment to the ARPANET and with using the network. Section 8, References, contains citations and sources for publications which provide further useful information. This section explains how to obtain both hardcopy and online documents. ,* Finally, the Appendix contains important information on the duties assigned to local .a. network representatives.
