TCP/IP Reference Material
It is the responsibility of the Network Manager to devise an addressing strategy appropriate for the size and growth poten- tial of the network. We recommend the following reference material for TCP/IP:
Comer, D.E., Internetworking with TCP/IP Volume I: Principles, Protocols and Architecture,
IP machines and networks that will be attached to the Internet must obtain registered addresses from the Internet’s Network Information Center. They can be contacted at the following address and phone number.
Network Solutions
InterNIC Registration Services
505 Huntmar Park Drive
Herndon, VA 22070
However, for networks with only a few IP machines, it is probably better to contact your local Internet access provider and let them handle the details.
