[edit] Information

[edit] Scope

For all articles related to computer networking. Networks rely heavily on protocols and that is the primary focus, but may also include models (e.g., OSI model), hardware and applications. Like all good wikipedia articles, each computer networking article should explain the basics (what an IP address is) as well as the technical details (packet structure).

Each networking technlogy article should include a minimum set of standard elements, as follows:

[edit] Organization

Here are a few ideas for how to organize articles. These don't necessarily have to correspond to the actual section headers and divisions, and they are no more than suggestions. Don't try to conform to them if it isn't helping improve the article in question.

A protocol specific article:

  • History of the protocol
    • Who started it
    • When was it started
    • What revisions were there
    • Any related or defining RFCs?
  • What other protocols were kept in mind when designing this protocol? (e.g., TCP to SCTP)
  • Packet structure
  • Any related technical discussions (e.g., fragmentation and reassembly for IPv4)

A hardware specific article:

  • What is it used for (what protocols, versions, etc.)
  • Hardware features
  • List of manufacturers & models
