Internet Engineering Curriculum
The Internet Engineering Curriculum Repository (IEC) is a project of CAIDA
(Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis) in conjunction with NLANR
(National Laboratory for Applied Network Research) to help educators and others
interested in Internet technology keep up with developments in the field.
NLANR Packets offers
timely updates concerning high-performance networking issues. Of
particular usefullness is the
Glossary
collection to help decipher the maze of acronyms and concepts within
these new network developments.
