(CIX) The CIX is a non-profit, 501(c)6,
trade association coordinating Internet services. Its
member organisations provide TCP/IP or OSI data
internetwork services to the general public. The CIX gives
them unrestricted access to other worldwide networks. It also
takes an interest in the development and future direction of
the Internet.
The CIX provides a neutral forum to exchange ideas,
information, and experimental projects among suppliers of
internetworking services. The CIX broadens the base of
national and international cooperation and coordination among
member networks. Together, the membership may develop
consensus positions on legislative and policy issues of mutual
interest.
The CIX encourages technical research and development for the
mutual benefit of suppliers and customers of data
communications internetworking services. It assists its
member networks in the establishment of, and adherence to,
operational, technical, and administrative policies and
standards necessary to ensure fair, open, and competitive
operations and communication among member networks. CIX
policies are formulated by a member-elected board of
directors.

common architecture for next generation internet protocol
(foldoc) | Common Architecture for Next Generation Internet Protocol
CATNIP
(CATNIP, originally Common Architecture
Technology for Next-generation Internet Protocol)
A network architecture designed to provide a compressed form
of the existing network layer protocols and to integrate
CLNP, IP, and IPX. It provides for any of the
transport layer protocols in use, including TP4, CLTP,
TCP, UDP, IPX, and SPX, to run over any of the network
layer protocol formats: CLNP, IP (version 4), IPX and CATNIP.
CATNIP was originally proposed by Robert L. Ullmann of {Lotus
Development Corporation} on 1993-12-22. It was published as
RFC 1707 in October 1994 but it is not an Internet
standard of any kind.

common internet file system
(foldoc) | Common Internet File System
CIFS
(CIFS) An Internet file system protocol,
based on Microsoft's SMB. Microsoft has given CIFS to the
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as an Internet Draft.
CIFS is intended to complement existing protocols such as
HTTP, FTP, and NFS.
CIFS runs on top of TCP/IP and uses the Internet's {Domain
Name Service} (DNS). It is optimised to support the slower
speed dial-up connections common on the Internet.
CIFS is more flexible than FTP. FTP operations are carried
out on entire files whereas CIFS is aimed at routine data
access and incorporates high-performance multi-user read and
write operations, locking, and file-sharing semantics.
CIFS is probably closest in functionality to NFS. NFS gives
random access to files and directories, but is stateless.
With CIFS, once a file is open, state about the current access
to that file is stored on both the client and the server.
This allows changes on the server side to be notified to the
clients that are interested.

demon internet ltd.
(foldoc) | Demon Internet Ltd.
One of the first company to provide public
Internet access in the UK.
The staff of Demon Systems Ltd., an established software
house, started Demon Internet on 1992-06-01 and it was the
first system in the United Kingdom to offer low cost full
Internet access. It was started with the support of about
100 founder members who discussed the idea on {Compulink
Information Exchange}, and were brave enough to pay a year's
subscription in advance. They aimed to have 200 members in
the first year to cover costs, ignoring any time spent. After
about two weeks they realised they needed nearer 400. By
November 1993 they had over 2000 subscribers and by August
1994 they had about 11000 with 20% per month growth. All
revenues have been reinvested in resources and expansion of
service.
Demon link to Sprintlink in the United States making them
totally independent. They peer with EUNet and PIPEX to
ensure good connectivity in Great Britain as well as having
links to the JANET/JIPS UK academic network. A direct
line into the {Department of Computing, Imperial College,
London (http://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk)} from their Central
London Point of Presence (PoP) (styx.demon.co.uk) gives
access to the biggest FTP and Archie site in Europe.
Demon provide local call access to a large proportion of the
UK. The central London PoP provides leased line
connections at a cheaper rate for those customers in the
central 0171 area. Further lines and PoPs are being added
continuously.
Subscribers get allocated an Internet Address and can choose
a hostname within the demon.co.uk domain. They can have
any number of e-mail address at that host.
In October 1994 Demon confirmed a large contract with the
major telecommunications provider Energis. They will supply
guaranteed bandwidth to Demon's 10Mb/s backbone from several
cities and towns. Several PoPs will be phased out and
replaced with others during 1995.

internet access provider
(foldoc) | Internet Access Provider
IAP
provider
(IAP) A company or other origanisation
which provides access to the Internet to businesses and/or
consumers. An IAP purchases an Internet link from another
company that has a direct link to the Internet and resells
portions of that bandwidth to the general public.
For example, an IAP may purchase a T1 link (1.544Mb/s) and
resell that bandwidth in chunks consisting of ISDN (64Kb/s,
128Kb/s) and analog modems (14.4Kb/s, 28.8Kb/s). The IAP's
customer base is likely to include both businesses and
individuals. Individual customers usually connect to the IAP
via a modem and telephone line to a (preferably local) {point
of presence}.
An IAP may also be an Internet Service Provider.

internet adapter
(foldoc) | Internet Adapter
The Internet Adapter (TIA). A program
from Cyberspace Development which runs on a Unix shell
account and acts as a SLIP emulator. A TIA emulated SLIP
account is not quite the same as a real SLIP account but TIA's
SLIP emulation is completely standard in terms of working with
MacTCP-based software on the Macintosh (or WinSock on a
Microsoft Windows machine).
You do not get your own Internet Address as you do with a
real SLIP account, instead, TIA uses the IP number of the
machine it runs on and "redirects" traffic back to you. You
cannot set up your machine as an FTP server, for instance,
since there's no IP number for an FTP client elsewhere to
connect to.
TIA's performance is reportedly good, faster than normal SLIP
in fact, and about as fast as Compressed SLIP. Future
releases will support CSLIP and even PPP.
Cyberspace Development has ported TIA to several versions of
Unix and more are on the way.
TERM is a free program which performs a similar function
between two machines both running Unix.

Internet address
IP number
(Internet address) The 32-bit number uniquely
identifying a node on a network using Internet Protocol,
as defined in STD 5, RFC 791. An IP address is normally
displayed in dotted decimal notation, e.g. 128.121.4.5.
The address can be split into a network number (or network
address) and a host number unique to each host on the
network and sometimes also a subnet address.
The way the address is split depends on its "class", A, B or C
(but see also CIDR). The class is determined by the high
address bits:
Class A - high bit 0, 7-bit network number, 24-bit host
number. n1.a.a.a 0 |

High-speed networks that carry
Internet traffic.
These communications networks are provided by companies
such as AT&T, GTE, IBM, MCI, Netcom, Sprint,
UUNET and consist of high-speed links in the T1, T3,
OC1 and OC3 ranges. The backbones carry Internet
traffic around the world and meet at Network Access Points
(NAPs).
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) connect either directly to
a backbone, or they connect to a larger ISP with a connection
to a backbone.
The topology of the "backbone" and its interconnections may
once have resembled a spine with ribs connected along its
length but is now almost certainly more like a fishing net
wrapped around the world with many circular paths.

IPv6
(IPv6, IPng, IP next generation) The
most viable candidate to replace the current {Internet

problem of the shortage of IP addresses.
The following features have been purposed: 16-byte addresses
instead of the current four bytes; embedded encryption - a
32-bit Security Association ID (SAID) plus a variable length
initialisation vector in packet headers; user
authentication (a 32-bit SAID plus variable length
authentication data in headers); autoconfiguration
(currently partly handled by {Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol}); support for delay-sensitive traffic - a 24 bit
flow ID field in headers to denote voice or video, etc.
One possible solution is based on the TUBA protocol (RFC
1347, 1526, 1561) which is itself based on the OSI
Connectionless Network Protocol (CNLP). Another is TP/IX
(RFC 1475) which changes TCP and UDP headers to give a
64-bit IP address, a 32-bit port number, and a 64-bit
sequence number.
RFC 1550 is a white paper on IPng.

ISAPI

Servers created with ISAPI extensions can be complete
in-process applications themselves, or can "connect" to other
services. ISAPI is used for the same sort of functions as
CGI but uses Microsoft Windows dynamic link libraries
(DLL) for greater efficiency. The server loads the DLL the
first time a request is received and the DLL then stays in
memory, ready to service other requests until the server
decides it is no longer needed. This minimises the overhead

Internet Telephony
IPT
(IPT, Internet Telephony) Use of IP data
connections to exchange voice and fax data that have
traditionally been carried over the {public switched telephone
network}.
During the late 1990s, an increasing number of telephone calls
have been routed over the Internet. Calls made in this way
avoid PSTN charges. Unlike traditional telephony, IP
telephony is relatively unregulated.
Companies providing these services are known as {Internet
Telephony Service Providers} (ITSPs). They include telephone
companies, cable TV companies and Internet Service Providers
(ISPs).
There are still many problems with voice quality, latency,
compression algorithms, and quality of service.
Voice over IP is an organised effort to standardise IP
telephony.

internet worm
(foldoc) | Internet Worm
Great Worm
The November 1988 worm perpetrated by
Robert T. Morris. The worm was a program which took
advantage of bugs in the Sun Unix sendmail program,
Vax programs, and other security loopholes to distribute
itself to over 6000 computers on the Internet. The worm
itself had a bug which made it create many copies of itself on
machines it infected, which quickly used up all available
processor time on those systems.
Some call it "The Great Worm" in a play on Tolkien (compare
elvish, elder days). In the fantasy history of his Middle
Earth books, there were dragons powerful enough to lay waste
to entire regions; two of these (Scatha and Glaurung) were
known as "the Great Worms". This usage expresses the
connotation that the RTM hack was a sort of devastating
watershed event in hackish history; certainly it did more to
make non-hackers nervous about the Internet than anything
before or since.

packet internet groper

Packet InterNet Groper
ping command
pinging
(ping, originally contrived to match
submariners' term for the sound of a returned sonar pulse) A
program written in 1983 by Mike Muuss (who also wrote TTCP)
used to test reachability of destinations by sending them one,
or repeated, ICMP echo requests and waiting for replies.
Since ping works at the IP level its server-side is often
implemented entirely within the operating system kernel
and is thus the lowest level test of whether a remote host is
alive. Ping will often respond even when higher level,
TCP-based services cannot.
Sadly, Mike Muuss was killed in a road accident on 2000-11-20.
The term is also used as a verb: "Ping host X to see if it is
up."
The Unix command "ping" can be used to do this and to
measure round-trip delays.
The funniest use of "ping" was described in January 1991 by
Steve Hayman on the Usenet group comp.sys.next. He was
trying to isolate a faulty cable segment on a TCP/IP
Ethernet hooked up to a NeXT machine. Using the sound
recording feature on the NeXT, he wrote a script that
repeatedly invoked ping, listened for an echo, and played back
the recording on each returned packet. This caused the
machine to repeat, over and over, "Ping ... ping ... ping ..."
as long as the network was up. He turned the volume to
maximum, ferreted through the building with one ear cocked,
and found a faulty tee connector in no time.
Ping did not stand for "Packet InterNet Groper", Dave Mills
offered this backronym expansion some time later.
