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 to-do list there.

== 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 article guidelines ==

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

=== Content ===

==== Common elements ====

Each networking technology 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

** When was it started

** What revisions were there

** Any related or defining [[Request for Comment|RFCs]]?

* What other protocols were kept in mind when designing this protocol? (e.g., [[Transmission Control Protocol|TCP]] to [[Stream Control Transmission Protocol|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

== Templates ==

=== Talk page project template ===

=== Stubs ===

=== Infoboxes ===

==WP 1.0 Assessed Articles==

{{Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Computer networking articles by quality statistics}}

== Tasks ==

See [[:Category:Computer networking articles needing expert attention]].

*[[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)

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

*Improve accessibility and reduce length of [[Communications protocol]] ~[[user talk:Kvng|KvnG]] 17:03, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

==Completed Tasks==

* [[Routers]]

* [[Host (network)]]

*[[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, (]]List of computer networking topics]] is gone) 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)
