OFFICIAL SITE IDENTS FOR ORGANIZATIONS IN THE ARPA NETWORK
Idents are given here in two lists, a list in alpha order and a list
by Site address.
These lists include only those organizations with present or
scheduled direct connection to the Network. Scheduled Sites are
indicated by "s". Inactive addresses are shown as "i".

PROBLEMPeople on the ARPA Network needed one agreed short name and address number for each connected organization.
MECHANISMThe RFC prints two lists of idents, one in alphabetical order and one by site address, with marks for scheduled and inactive sites.
STATUS THENIt replaces RFC 289 as the official list as of 28 August 1972.
§1Official Idents
Jeanne B. North of the ARPA Network Information Center published this list on 28 August 1972. It obsoletes RFC 289.
It includes only organizations with present or scheduled direct connection to the Network. Scheduled sites are marked s and inactive addresses are marked i.
This is the official name list for the network, and it only includes places that are connected or about to be.
§2Reading the Alphabetical List
The first list has three columns: Site Ident, Address and Organization. Examples are UCLA-NMC at address 1 (Network Measurement Center), SRI-ARC at 2 and UTAH-10 at 4.
Some entries simply say see another ident, such as AMEC see Belvoir. A dash in place of an address, as for AFETR and LLL, means no address is given yet; both are scheduled.
Each place has a short nickname and a number. Some nicknames just point you to the real one, like a sign saying see the other door.
§3The List by Address
The second list gives the same sites in number order, starting with the entries that have no address and then address 1 upward. Besides the main host entries, it shows TIP sites with higher numbers, such as ARPA-TIP at 156 and MIT-ML at 198.
A few numbers are shared. ICCC and FNWC both appear at 161, both marked as scheduled.
The second list puts the same places in number order, like houses on a street, so you can look up who lives at a number.
