The world has been partitioned in a number of top-level domains, and
absolute addresses are defined in relation to these domains.  As of this
writing, top-level domains include at least

au 	Australia            	 jp 	Japan
ca 	Canada               	 kr 	Republic of Korea
ch 	Switzerland          	 mil	Internet Military
com	Internet Commercial  	 net	Internet Networks
de 	West Germany         	 nl 	Netherlands
edu	Internet Educational 	 org	Internet Organizations
fi 	Finland              	 se 	Sweden
fr 	France               	 uk 	United Kingdom Network
gov	Internet Government  	 us 	Internet Unites States
il 	Israel	

Until the transition to network-independent domains is complete, the following
pseudo top-level domains are often seen.  Their purpose is to allow the
specification of addresses independently of the actual route:

arpa	DARPA Internet                	irl	Irish Research Network
bitnet	Because It's There Network  	isanet	Iceland
cdn	Canadian Research Network	mailnet	EDUCOM Network (dead)
cern	CERN, Switzerland		mlnet	University of Western Ontario
chunet	Swiss University Network	osiride	Italian Research Networks
csnet	Computer Science Network	oz	Australian University Network
dfn	German Research Network	   	sunet	Swedish University Network
dunet	Danish University Network	surfnet	Netherlands Research Network
funet	Finnish University Network   	uninett	Norwegian University Network
iris	Spanish Research Network	uucp	Unix Network

Please note that the Swiss University Network CHUNET has changed it's
top level domain name from 'chunet' to 'ch' to conform with the table
of 2-character country codes. The network name is still CHUNET, however.
The domain 'chunet' has never been approved by the NIC but 'ch' is.
