Way back in 1987, before there was the the “Internet Protocol Journal” and other notable publications which cover various aspects of Internet Technologies, there was “ConneXions – The Interoperability Report“. At the time, aside from reading RFCs or Internet-Drafts for more information on various protocols, this publication was the defacto resource for informative analysis of various protocols and their operation. A quick glance at the articles and you’ll see long-time industry heavy-hitters such as Doug Comer, Jon Postel, and Vint Cerf listed as the authors. This is an invaluable resource for those of you who want to understand the history and evolution of various Internet protocols commonly in use today.
