Internet access and services are now a billion dollar industry. Companies that were brand new two years ago are selling for millions of dollars. If you have the desire to create a new Internet company, or are interested in the peripheral Internet markets, this book will be an invaluable resource to you. Charles Burke built the "Dance of Shiva" BBS and ISP from the grass roots to become one of America's top online systems. With this book, the esoteric workings and mysterious jargon of the business become easy-to-understand concepts for the intrepid entrepreneur.

In the early days of computer networking IBM mainframes could only connect to other IBM mainframes, Burroughs only to other Burroughs, etc. Beginning in 1967 the US Defense Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) office sponsored development of a "heterogeneous" network compatible with computers from any manufacturer. That R&amp;D effort, one of the most successful in history, resulted in the on-time, on-budget construction of the revolutionary ARPANET, the immediate predecessor of today's Internet. The ARPANET Sourcebook: The Unpublished Foundations of the Internet reproduces the seminal papers, reports, and RFCs that led to the birth of modern network computing. Most appear here in book form for the first time. Part A, Imagining the ARPANET, covers the initial studies of network feasibility and includes: the introductory and concluding chapters of Paul Baran's seminal but little-known RAND research report On Distributed Communications in which packet switching was first conceptualized. the classic 1968 paper The Computer as a Communication Device by J.C.R. Licklider and Robert Taylor, respectively the ARPANET's earliest proponent and the ARPA administrator who pushed the development project. Part B, Planning the ARPANET includes: scans of the earliest RFCs ("Requests for Comments"), some publicly available here for the first time. RFCs were in effect the design documents for the ARPANET and later the Internet. the 1968 ARPA-commissioned SRI study that modeled a heterogeneous network and concluded that it was indeed feasible. forewords by Steve Crocker (author of RFC #1) and Leonard Kleinrock (noted author and head of the UCLA computing lab that hosted the first ARPANET node). Part C, Building the ARPANET, reproduces the quarterly technical reports from the government's contractor Bolt Beranek and Newman contemporaneously describing the development group's progress, difficulties encountered, and final success. Dave Walden, former BBN VP and a key member of the ARPANET team, has contributed a retrospective Foreword. Other noteworthy material: historical perspectives from Peter Salus, Robert Taylor, Willis Ware, Michael Padlipsky, and Les Earnest, and a long-forgotten RFC which anticipated JAVA by more than 20 years.

RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) technology is a family of techniques for combining multiple disks under common firmware or software management to provide beneficial data availability and performance effects. Arrays of disks that use RAID data protection techniques can sustain disk failures without losing their ability to read and write data for applications. Similarly, disk arrays that use RAID data mapping techniques can often provide substantial performance gains to applications by distributing I/O load evenly across disks with no system management or application effort. In the eight years since its introduction, RAID technology has taken the information technology user community by storm. In 1996, IDC estimated that 70% of all disk systems sold were RAID-capable, and predicted near-ubiquity for the technology by 1999. More recent estimates set RAID-configured new disk arrays at 80% of all arrays. The RAIDbook, currently in its sixth edition, describes RAID technology in detail, and positions it in the context of commercial computer system disk storage. As RAID technology has evolved, The RAIDbook has evolved along with it. The 6th Edition, extensively revised to reflect recent developments, contains a contemporary description of RAID technology, and now includes other architectural constructs that make up modern failure-tolerant disk systems. This book is a must for IT managers, application designers, and others who must make decisions about high-performance robust disk systems.

This groundbreaking Harvard Ph.D. dissertation by Bob Metcalfe led directly to his invention of Ethernet and contributed significantly to the TCP/IP protocol suite developed by Vint Cerf and others. This dissertation remains a penetrating mathematical exposition of the fundamental packet switching techniques employed by both TCP/IP and Ethernet. Hard-core techies interested in either technology, as well as computer history buffs, will find this material fascinating.
