1. Introduction
2. Acknowledgments
3. Questions about the Internet
3.1. How do I get statistics regarding the traffic on NSFNET?
4. Questions About Other Networks and Internets
4.1. We have a user who would like to access a machine on "EARN/BITNET". I can't find anything on this in the domain name tables. Please, what is this, and how do I connect to it?
5. Questions About Internet Documentation
5.1. Where do I get information regarding ordering documents related to GOSIP?
6. Questions About Domain Name System (DNS)
6.1. Is there a DNS Query server?
6.2. We have been having a frequent BIND failure
6.3. Is the model used by the domain name system for host names that the owner of a name gets to choose its case?
6.4. According to RFC 1034 [2], section 4.2.1, one should not have to code glue RR's for name server's names
7. Questions About Network Management Implementations
7.1. In reading the SNMP RFCs [3, 4 ,5, 6] I find mention of authentication of PDUs. Are there any standards for authentication mechanisms?
7.2. Can vendors make their enterprise-specific variables available to users through a standard distribution mechanism?
7.3. I have a question regarding those pesky octet strings again.
7.4. If archived MIBs must be 1155-compatible [3], it would be nice if those who submit them check them first.
7.5. Suppose I want to create a private MIB object for causing some action to happen
8. Questions about Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) and Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Implementations
8.1. I seem to recall hearing that SLIP [8] will only run on synchronous serial lines.
8.2. Since we are very interested in standards in this area, could someone tell me were I can find more information on PPP?
8.3. Does anyone know if there is a way to run a SLIP program on a IBM computer running SCO Xenix/Unix, with a multi-port serial board?
9. Questions About Routing
9.1. Some postings mentioned "maximum entropy routing".
10. Other Protocol and Standards Implementation Questions
10.1. Does anyone recognize ethernet type "80F3"? I don't see it in RFC 1010, but I am seeing it on our net.
10.2. Does anyone know the significance of a high value for "Bad proto" in the output from netstat on Unix machines using ethernet?
10.3. Which RFC would explain the proper way to configure broadcast addresses when using subnets?
10.4. Can anyone tell me what .TAR files exactly are? Is it like ZIP or LZH for the IBM PC's?
