~ August 1995 INTERNET MONTHLY REPORTS ------------------------ The purpose of these reports is to communicate to the Internet Research Group the accomplishments, milestones reached, or problems discovered by the participating organizations. This report is for Internet information purposes only, and is not to be quoted in other publications without permission from the submitter. Each organization is expected to submit a 1/2 page report on the first business day of the month describing the previous month's activities. These reports should be submitted via network mail to "IMR@ISI.EDU". Requests to be added or deleted from the Internet Monthly report list should be sent to "imr-request@isi.edu".

Brian Carpenter IAB Chair INTERNET RESEARCH REPORTS ------------------------- INTERNET ENGINEERING REPORTS ---------------------------- 1. Let me remind everyone that the next IETF meeting will be in Dallas, Texas from December 4-8, 1995, with the Newcomers' Orientation and Registration Reception being held on Sunday, December 3. The Dallas IETF meeting is being hosted by MCI. Logistic information will be posted to the IETF Announcement list when the Secretariat is begins accepting registrations. The IETF meeting fee for the Dallas meeting will be $200. Following Dallas, the IETF will be meeting in Los Angeles, California from March 4-8, 1996. There will not be a local host for this meeting, but the terminal room facilities will be provided by Interop. Following Los Angeles, the IETF will be meeting in Montreal, Ontario, Canada from June 24-28, 1996. If this date looks familiar, that's because this is the same date and location as INET '96! Both groups will be meeting in the Montreal Convention Center, albeit separately. The one exception is the terminal room which will be shared by both INET and IETF meeting attendees. The terminal room facilities are being provided by INET. Once all the arrangements have been made, notifications will be sent to the IETF Announcement list. Remember that information on future IETF meetings can be always be found in the file 0mtg-sites.txt which is located on the IETF shadow directories. This information can also be viewed from the IETF Home Page on the Web. The URL is: http://www.ietf.cnri.reston.va.us 2. The minutes of the IESG teleconferences have been publicly available on the IETF Shadow directories since 1991. These files are placed in the /ftp/iesg directory. Cooper [Page 3] Internet Monthly Report August 1995 The following IESG minutes have been added: July 6, 1995 (iesg.95-07-06) August 3, 1995 (iesg.95-08-03) August 17, 1995 (iesg.95-08-17) 3.

Significant Events InterNIC Registration Services assigned over 12,619 network addresses and registered over 19,657 domains. There were two (2) top-level country domains registered during August: Virgin Islands (US), and San Marino (Republic of). The suit that Knowledgenet had filed against Network Solutions and David L. Boone over the knowledgenet.com domain has been dismissed. David Boone has relinquished the domain name to Knowledgenet, Inc. During the month of August, domain requests are averaging between 1,000- 1,500+ for new submissions per day. Adjustments continue to be made in domain processing. Additional, staffing is being acquired to accommodate the growth in registration requests. At the close of August 1995, the domain processing queue had decreased from 15,000+ to 7,000+ new domain registrations. II. Current Status During the month of August 1995, InterNIC Registration Services received communications as shown below. The majority of the correspondence concerned the assignment and re-assignment of network numbers and the registration or change of domain names. E-mail 49,286 (hostmaster@internic.net) Postal/Fax 248 (primarily IP number requests) Phone 7,150 The Registrations Services host computer supported a large volume of information retrieval requests during the month of June.

These lists include the Scout Report lists maintained by Susan Calcari and the net-happenings lists maintained by Gleason Sackman. The list maintainers will remain the same, but the "home machines" of the lists are moving. As of the end of August, scout-report and scout-report-html have been moved. The net-happenings lists will move in early September. Current subscribers of the lists will be moved automatically, but new subscriptions and changes to current subscriptions will need to be sent to the new machine.

Jake Khuon and Andy Adams have implemented a new tool that is being used to automatically configure the Route Servers at the Sprint and AADS NAPs. Once the tool is fully deployed, Route Server configurations at all five interconnection points will be automatically refreshed every four hours. The RA service is now peering with the vBNS at the Washington, D.C. and Sprint NAPs. More organizations established peering sessions with the Route Servers in August: Advantis, US Cyber, and CAIS (Capital Area Internet Service) at the Washington, D.C. NAP, and Argonne at the AADS NAP. A complete list of BGP peering sessions is available from: http://www.ra.net/routing.arbiter/RA/.bgp.peers.html For an overview of services provided by the Route Servers, see: http://www.ra.net/routing.arbiter/RA/route.server.html The RA project has improved the security procedures available for registering in the Routing Arbiter Database. You can now authenticate your submissions with a digital signature using the publicly available PGP package. The staff is working on developing key registration procedures. For more information, send e-mail to db-admin@ra.net. In cooperation with staff from the CA*net Routing Registry, Merit has removed approximately 3,000 duplicate routes from the RADB. Cooper [Page 14] Internet Monthly Report August 1995 These routes are now only present in the CA*net registry. This is a continuing effort to eliminate duplicate data from the databases that make up the Internet Routing Registry. Approximately 4,000 other objects in the Routing Arbiter Database, primarily Route objects, were translated from entries in the Policy Routing Database and contained no contact information for the "owner" of the AS originating the route. For each of the approximately 360 different Autonomous Systems referenced in these objects, a Maintainer object needed to be created to provide for database consistency and to allow the user community to maintain the objects. Brian Renaud has been working with users to create the needed Maintainer objects; 90 have been added to the registry, and more are being added every day. To begin the process of populating the Maintainers, Steve Richardson wrote a program that queried the InterNIC database to determine the contacts for each AS and construct a proposed Maintainer object. E-mail was then sent to each contact person asking whether they wanted the RADB staff to enter the proposed object into the RADB, or specify a different (already existing) Maintainer object, or delete the object. Depending on the response, Renaud then worked on a case-by-case basis to create the desired objects. The process involved providing tutorials on the RADB and Internet Routing Registry (IRR), explaining and checking the syntax of submitted Maintainer objects, making changes to referenced Route objects, finding ways to ensure consistency among registries in the IRR, and creating reports comparing registrations for a particular Autonomous System in the IRR, so that users could remove duplicate entries. A new Routing Arbiter Database FAQ provides details on registering in the RADB, what to do when switching providers, RADB/Internet Routing Registry update schedules, and many other topics. You'll find the FAQ at: http://www.ra.net/routing.arbiter/RA/.faq.html Susan R. Harris (srh@merit.edu) UCL ---- Hardman and others demonstrated the UCL Mbone audio tool which features a novel audio encoding which is loss tolerant. This is onging work, but will eventually be made publically available with other mbone tools being developed at UCL (a shared text editor, our version of the session tool, and an email list distribution tool). Cooper [Page 15] Internet Monthly Report August 1995 Crowcroft & Handley attended SIGCOMM 95. Handley presented the UCL work on the Conference Control Channel Protocol. Neither expressed opinions in the outrageous opinion session. Dave Mills arrived at UCL for a stay to include some work on synchronised of clocks in high speed network monitoring equipment, amongst other things.
