For those newcomers who may be interested in the engineering of various
networks, the following reports are published monthly. These updates have
been available for many years now. I've included portions of the blurb
explaining how to get them plus a portion of the table of contents from the
latest report.

Internet Monthly Report Availability via FTP and EMAIL
The Internet Monthly Report (IMR) is normally distributed via EMail to
the IMR list and the IETF list. For most readers this is the most
convenient way to receive the report. However, there are some mail
systems or mail gateways that do not accommodate large messages (some
issues of the IMR are more than 100,000 characters). Readers that do
not receive the IMR via the normal distribution may obtain copies via
FTP or EMail retrieval.
IMR Retrieval using RFC-INFO Service
------------------------------------
The EMail retrieval system "RFC-Info" will send a large report in
segments in separate EMail messages not exceeding 50,000 characters
each.
Details on obtaining the current IMR, or back issues, via FTP or EMAIL
may be obtained by sending an EMAIL message to "rfc-info@ISI.EDU" with
the message body "help: ways_to_get_imrs". For example:
To: rfc-info@ISI.EDU
Subject: getting imrs
help: ways_to_get_imrs
IMR Retrieval using FTP
-----------------------
IMRs are available via anonymous FTP from VENERA.ISI.EDU, with the
pathname: in-notes/imr/imryymm.txt (where "yymm" refers to the date of
the IMR. For example IMR9207.TXT is the report for July 1992). Login
with FTP username "anonymous" and password "ftp".
Requests to be added or deleted from the Internet Monthly Report list
should be sent to "imr-request@isi.edu".
