The DDN Network Information Center (NIC) is located at the DDN
Installation and Integration Support (DIIS) program office in Chantilly,
Virginia. The NIC is funded by the Defense Information Systems Agency
(DISA), Defense Network Systems Organization (DNSO). The NIC is
responsible for providing general reference services to DDN users via
telephone, electronic mail, and U.S. mail.
The NIC also provides databases and information services of interest to
network users, including the WHOIS registry of network users, the
NIC/Query browsing system, TACNEWS, and the official DoD Host Name
Service. The NIC maintains the RFC (Request for Comments) collection.
Many of the online files are available through the NIC's automatic mail

* assigns IP network numbers and Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs),
* provides hostname translation tables and domain name system server
files to the DDN and the Internet,
* registers network users,
* issues MILNET TAC Access Cards.
