[AusNOG] A slice of Internet development history

[Mark Smith]

Came across this in the Internet Protocol Journal, thought
some people on the list might be interested if they didn't see it there.

"CONNEXIONS--The Interoperability Report" was a magazine published by
Interop between 1987-1996. The following page as a PDFs of scanned
copies of all editions.

Some examples of articles and editions that might be interesting -

"The RFC Story", Ole Jacobsen
"Have you heard the GOSIP?", Ole Jacobsen, et al
"Introducing Domains", Paul Mockapetris
"3270 over Telnet"+, Greg Minshall
"A comparison of DoD IP and ISO CLNP", Rob Hagens
"Fragmentation: Pros and Cons", Jeff Mogul
"August 1989--Special Issue: Internet Routing"
"Book Review: The Cuckoo's Egg", Jon Postel
"Profile: AARNet", Geoff Huston
"Automatic Configuration of Internet Hosts", Ralph Droms

Bear in mind that some of these articles were written by the people who
designed the protocols and methods described, so you'll probably get a
really good insight into why things are the way they are. For example,
Ralph Droms is one of the main authors of the DHCP v4 and v6 protocol
RFCs.
