This page has provided the major and basic communication resources for student who is doing communication from junior to senior level.
TCP-IP

a summary of the facilities available and brief descriptions of the major protocols
in the family.
ANSI
American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the main entry page.
PVM
- PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) is a software package that permits a heterogeneous
collection of Unix computers hooked together by a network to be used as a single
large parallel computer. Thus large computational problems can be solved more
cost effectively by using the aggregate power and memory of many computers.
The software is very portable. The source, which is available free thru netlib,
has been compiled on everything from laptops to CRAYs.
Standards
and Standardization Bodies This field covers Standards and Standardization

naturalistic artwork, and similar material; not so well on lettering, simple
cartoons, or line drawings.
Internet
Engineering Task Force! - It is the protocol engineering and development
arm of the Internet. The IETF is a large open international community of network
designers, operators, vendors, and researchers concerned with the evolution
of the Internet architecture and the smooth operation of the Internet. It is
open to any interested individual.
What
is a Network? - A network consists of two or more computers that are linked
in order to share resources (such as printers and CD-ROMs), exchange files,
or allow electronic communications. The computers on a network may be linked
through cables, telephone lines, radio waves, satellites, or infrared light
beams.
ATM
tutorial - ATM stands for (no not automated teller machines) "Asynchronous
Transfer Mode". It is primarily driven by telecommunications companies
and is a proposed telecommunications standard for Broadband ISDN.
