July 1997 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. 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-ED@ISI.EDU". ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` The Internet Monthly Report mailing list is now managed by MajorDomo at ISI.EDU. The announcements of new issues on the Internet Monthly Report are sent to the IETF-Announce list and to this IMR list. Requests to be ADDED or DELETED from the Internet Monthly report list should be sent to "majordomo@isi.edu" with the message body either "subscribe imr" or "unsubscribe imr". Details on obtaining the current IMR, or back issues, via FTP or EMAIL may be obtained by sending an EMAIL message to "rfc-info@ISI.EDU" with the message body "help: ways_to_get_imrs".

Brian Carpenter IAB Chair INTERNET ENGINEERING REPORTS ---------------------------- Internet Monthly Report for July, 1997 1. As I write this, we are about to leave for the IETF Meeting in Munich, Germany. Our hosts for this meeting Digi/ISOC.DE. The final meeting of the year will be held in Washington, DC from December 8-12, 1997. Our local host is Newbridge Networks. The IETF will meet in Los Angeles from March 30 - April, 3, 1998 and then in Chicago August 24-28. We're still looking into the final meeting of 1998. Once all arrangements have been made, notifications will be sent to the IETF Announcement list. Remember that information on future meetng sites can always be found in the file 0mtg-sites.txt, located on the IETF shadow directories. Of course, this information is provided on the Web. The IETF's URL is: http://www.ietf.org/ 2. The minutes of the IESG teleconferences be found on all the IETF shadow directories in the iesg directory. The following IESG minutes have been added: June 5, 1997 (iesg.97-06-05) July 10, 1997 (iesg-97-07-10) 3. The IESG approved or recommended the following 13 Protocol Actions during the month of July, 1997: o Selection and Operation of Secondary DNS Servers for publication as a Best Current Practices RFC.

The form can be reached through our Directory of Directories Web page at: http://ds.internic.net:80/ds/dsdirofdirs.html by Rick Huber <rvh@ds.internic.net> THE US DOMAIN ============= A total of about 2000 locality domains that were delegated to several domain name managers have been returned to the US Domain administrator. These localities will be made available for redelegation in the coming months. A new policy has been added regarding the locality delegation. For delegations (or redelegations) made after 1-Jul-97, it is assumed by the US Domain Administrator that every applicant for the delegation (or redelegation) of a locality name has the written agreement of the legitimate government for that locality for the applicant to manage the domain name of that locality. Evidience of such an agreement does not need to be presented at the time of delegation (except that the administrative contact on the application template must be the government representative). However, if the delegation is later challenged or contested, the manager of the locality domain must produce the agreement. Failure to do so will most likely result in the transfer of the management of the locality domain to another manager that does have such an agreement. If there is a dispute as to what is the legitimate government for a locality is and who may act for it, the league of cities or association of municipalities of that state (as recognized by the National League of Cities) may be asked to assist in resolving such disputes. In some places there are overlapping jurisdictions with the same name (for example, the city of Los Angeles and the county of Los Angeles). In such cases, the higher level government should have priority. IMR Editor [Page 20] Internet Monthly Report July 1997 The US Domain registration form is now available online at http://www.isi.edu/us-domain. The US Domain has the maps of all the delegated special domains online at http://www.isi.edu/us-domain. The US Domain administrator no longer makes direct registrations of hosts, and only makes delegations of third or fourth level domain names (such as localities). Some of the processing of the requests to the third level domain name is now automated. In particular, most requests to register names in localities already delegated are automatically forwarded to the administrator of that locality. A new policy has been added regarding the charges for the domain name passed on during delegation. The administrator of the locality has to notify one year in advance before charging for those domains.

Organizations that are peering with the Route Server Next Generation (RSng) project's Route Servers can use a new Web Interface to check the parameters of their peering session: http://www.rsng.net/peer_template/viewconf.html The new form displays public fields in RSng's extended 'inet-rtr' (Internet router) objects, which specify routes that the Route Server should import and export on behalf of each peer. The RSng inet-rtr object, which was developed by Jake Khuon, extends the definition found in the RIPE document, "Specifying an `Internet Router' in the Routing Registry" (RIPE-122). To use the Configuration Viewer to view an RSng inet-rtr object, simply enter the IP address or AS number of the peer you want to obtain information about. The Configuration Viewer only displays public information about routes exchanged with the Route Servers, rather than private network contact information. The Configuration Viewer was developed by Abha Ahuja. ------------------------------------------------------------ Merit is pleased to announce a new, distributed version of its Internet Rover package. Developed by Bill Norton to monitor network devices for the NSFNET project, the Rover code is now used to monitor networks worldwide, including the Italian National Network, the Pentagon Network, and the Princeton Network. IMR Editor [Page 23] Internet Monthly Report July 1997 The previous, centralized Rover code was based on a simple model: if a device failed a test, an alert would be displayed at the Network Operations Center. NOC operators would then investigate the cause of the failed test and take any necessary action. When the test succeeded, the alert would be removed. Over the past ten years, Merit programming staff have worked with many network operators to evolve the software package to meet their needs. The latest release, Internet Rover 4.0, introduces the notion of distributed "Area Managers" into the model. The Area Managers, which perform tests and maintain a list of alerts on remote systems, use an SNMP agent to externalize the list of alerts to the Central Network Management Stations (CNMS). In this way, the Distributed Rovers can be deployed and connected across a wide-area network. Locating the Area Managers topologically closer to the devices being monitored decreases the likelihood of packet loss from intermediate network failures, and lowers network management bandwidth requirements. In addition, the Distributed Rovers can be split along administrative boundaries, such as AS's, making it possible for networks to share aggregated network management information. NOCs can then "view" one another's alert screens, making it much easier to operate backup NOCs and share NOC services. For more information about the new Rover code, see: http://www.merit.edu/internet.tools/rover/ A new mailing list provides a forum for user feedback to the Rover developers. To join, send e-mail to majordomo@merit.edu with 'subscribe your.email.address rover@merit.edu' (without the quotes) as the only text. ------------------------------------------------------------ Engineer Craig Labovitz and Merit President Eric Aupperle attended an Internet Service Quality Workshop sponsored by Bellcore, which featured presentations on future differentiated services for the Internet. Bill Norton, Jake Khuon, and Abha Ahuja of the RSng staff attended a PacBell NAP open house. Route Servers managed by the Route Server Next Generation project (www.rsng.net/) are up and running at the Digital Internet Exchange and the AADS, MAE-West, MAE-East interconnection points, in addition to the PacBell NAP.

The notes discuss many aspects of computing and computer communication focusing in networking protocols, procedures, programs, and concepts, but also including meeting notes, opinion, and sometimes humor. The specification documents of the Internet protocol suite, as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and its steering group (the IESG), are published as RFCs. RFCs-to-be are edited by the RFC Editor. RFCs enter the RFC Editor's work queue either by an action of the IESG or by independent submission. Most independent submissions are referred to the IESG to check for overlap with IETF work. The IESG might put a hold on a document to gather more input from its members. The wait for an RFC to be published varies as there can be unforeseen complications (typically editorial matters that need clarification from the author). Documents can be removed from the publication queue if they are found to be insufficient or incorrect or if the IESG asks the author to join work already in progress in the IETF.
