This is '''computer networking task force''', a place created to better organize information in articles related to [[computer networking]]. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] and see the [[Wikipedia:to-do list|to-do list]] there.

This is '''computer networking task force''', a place created to better organize information in articles related to [[computer network]]ing. If you would like to help, please add your username at the bottom of the {{slink||Participants}} section below and take a look at the {{slink||Tasks}} section for improvement ideas.

== Information ==

=== Scope ===

Covering all articles related to [[computer networking]]. Networks rely heavily on protocols, and that is the primary focus, but it should also include models (e.g., [[OSI model]]), hardware, and applications.

Like all good Wikipedia articles, each computer networking article should explain the basics (such as what an IP address is) as well as the technical details (such as packet structure).

== Computer networking articleArticle guidelines ==

The general style guide for computing articles, [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Computing]], should be followed.

=== Content ===

==== Common elements ====

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

* General description

* References and external links. [[Wikipedia:Cite Sources|cite sources]]! See [[Wikipedia:Citing sources/example style]].

* Appropriate categorization. See [[Wikipedia:Categorization]].

=== Organization ===

Here are a few ideas for how to organize articles. These do not necessarily have to correspond to the actual section headers and divisions, and they are no more than suggestions. Conform to them to help improve the article in question.

A protocol -specific article:

* History of the protocol

** Who started it

Line 69 ⟶ 79:

* 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

Line 80 ⟶ 90:

== Tasks ==

*[[Access network]]: This article might be of interest to the networking task force. Please consider triage.

::This is probably best left to [[WP:TELECOM]]. ~[[User:Kvng|Kvng]] ([[User talk:Kvng|talk]]) 14:10, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

*Improve [[Ethernet]] toward [[WP:GA|good article]] by addressing {{citation needed}} requests. ~[[User:Kvng|Kvng]] ([[User talk:Kvng|talk]]) 19:53, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

*[[List of suggested topics for computer networking research]]: Not even sure what this is supposed to include. Items the reader should learn more about? Items Ph.D.s should be spending their time on? Possibly delete, or move to [[List of computer networking topics]] and expand greatly, producing an article in the style of [[List of computing topics]]. But keep in mind we already have [[List of Internet topics]]. --[[User:Nethgirb|Nethgirb]] 20:03, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

*[[Network scheduler]] improvements as discussed on [[Talk:Network_scheduler#Re-organisation_of_the_set_of_pages_describing_network_scheduling_algorithms|talk page]] ~[[User:Kvng|Kvng]] ([[User talk:Kvng|talk]]) 14:37, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

*[[Interior Gateway Protocol]]: The link state vs. distance vector material is not appropriate here, because those ideas are not specific to IGPs. Maybe merge the remaining material (of which there is very little) into [[routing protocol]]? Or can people envision more material for this article? --[[User:Nethgirb|Nethgirb]] 20:03, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

* Tagging articles for the project in relevant categories.

*[[Exterior Gateway Protocol]]: needs to define both uses of the term up front --[[User:Nethgirb|Nethgirb]] 20:03, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

* WP 1.0 Assessment of both quality and importance.

* Improving quality and getting a few articles to FA and GA articles.

==Completed Tasks==

* Outreach : Attract new members who might be interested and possibly start a bi-monthly newsletter.

* [[Routers]]

* [[Host (network)]]
