These days, it's a rare person who hasn't heard of the Internet, the global network based on the TCP/IP networking protocols. The Internet offers worldwide services such as electronic mail, Usenet news, file transfer via ftp, remote login to thousands of databases and collections of data, and innovative search services like WAIS, Gopher and the World Wide Web.
Unlike other networks, though, the Internet is not managed by a single organization, with a single access point and a single set of rules. It is truly a "network of networks" made up of hundreds of cooperating organizations. This is the only up-to-date directory that charts the networks that make up the Internet, provides contact names and addresses, and describes the services each network provides.
