1. By the time this is submitted, we will be attending the first
IETF meeting of 1995 in Danvers, Massachusetts. The summer IETF
meeting will be held in Stockholm, Sweden the week of July 17-
21, 1995. Due to the meeting costs, the IETF attendance fee for
the Stockholm meeting will be US$300. Hotel information has
already been sent to the Announcement list, and attendees are
encouraged to make their plane and hotel reservations. The IETF
Secretariat is NOT accepting registrations for the Stockholm
meeting at this time.
Following Stockholm, the IETF will be meeting in Dallas, Texas
on December 4-8, 1995. Our local host for this meeting is MCI.
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.
The following IESG minutes have been added:
February 23, 1995 (iesg.95-02-23)
March 9, 1995 (iesg.95-03-09)
3. The IESG approved or recommended the following 14 Protocol
Actions during the month of March, 1995:
o A Border Gateway Protocol 3 (BGP-3) has been reclassified as

INTERNIC
--------
Internic Directory And Database Services
=========================================
As noted in last month's report, the scout-report and net-happenings
mailing lists have been moved to the DS machines. These are quite
large mailing lists - the Scout Report has 21,000+ subscribers and
net-happenings has 10,000+ (counting both the digest and non-digest
versions).
We have made a number of changes to our MajorDomo server to accomodate
these lists. We are batching subscription requests so they can be
processed more efficiently. This may result in a delay of up to a day
before a request to be added to the list will be processed, but we
have set up the timing so that the day's additions are normally
processed before the day's mail is sent out. Other changes have been
made to the internals of MajorDomo, but they should not affect the
mailing list as it appears to users.
Subscribe and unsubscribe requests should continue to be sent to
majordomo@dsmail.internic.net.
Cooper [Page 13]
Internet Monthly Report March 1995
We have also borrowed a more powerful machine from Sun (with thanks
for their help) until more powerful permanent equipment can be
obtained.
These lists now appear to be stable and are operating normally.
A reminder - if you would like to help the Internet community find a
resource that you offer, send mail to admin@ds.internic.net and we
will send information about listing your resource in the Directory of
Directories.

InterNIC Registration Services
==============================
I. Significant Events
InterNIC Registration Services assigned over 11,012 network
addresses and registered over 6,757 domains. Three top level
domains were registered this month for Mongolia (MN), Nigeria (NG),
and Uganda (UG).
The suit that Knowledgenet has filed against Network Solutions
and David L. Boone over the knowledgement.com domain is still
pending. This case could establish precedence that refutes
InterNIC Registration Service's current policy of first-come
first served by binding trademarked names with a domain name.
During the month of March, the increase of domain requests
increased from an average of 200+ to 300+ new submissions per day.
We have made adjustments in domain processing and staffing, as well
as the implementation of additional equipment to aid in reducing the
backlog. At the close of March 1995, the processing time decreased
from a high of 15 days to 12 days.
II. Current Status
During the month of March 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.

ISI TUNNEL
==========
ISI "Tunnel" Extensions in Response to the CERT IP Spoofing Advisory
Background:
The ISI Tunnel is a special router that provides smooth seamless
internet access from a closed environment, the "inside", to the
"outside", while restricting the access from the outside to the inside.
The advantage of the Tunnel, in comparison with traditional firewalls,
is that it supports any IP-based communication; not just terminal
access, file transfer, and electronic mail. The Tunnel allows sites
that are hidden behind "firewalls", also known as "gatekeepers" or
"mail-bridges", to have IP-based internet access without being open to
attacks over the internet. It was implemented at ISI in August, 1993.
Potential Attack:
The Tunnel firewall software, which is implemented in the Sun kernel IP
code, uses the IP source and destination address for authentication on
incoming packets.
The CERT Advisory CA-95:01, "IP Spoofing Attacks and Hijacked Terminal
Connections", dated January 23, 1995, outlines an attack in which IP
source addresses are spoofed.
Cooper [Page 15]
Internet Monthly Report March 1995
The ISI Tunnel was vulnerable to this attack on two levels:
a. The workstation that the Tunnel software is running on might
accept a forged packet, allowing the forger to take control of
the workstation and subvert the Tunnel software once root access
has been gained.
b. IP forwarding decisions are made based on the source and
destination addresses found in the IP header of a packet, so the
Tunnel could be tricked into forwarding packets that should be
discarded.
Solution:
Functionality has been added to the ISI Tunnel to address this
problem. In particular, the Tunnel packet filtering scheme has
been modified to drop all packets that didn't come in on the
interface suggested by their source address.
This change was implemented inside of the the kernel that runs on
the Tunnel router. For each incoming packet, the standard kernel
routine that is used to look up routes is called with the packet's
IP source address. The interface that is returned is compared with
the interface on which the packet arrived, and if the two
interfaces don't match, the packet is dropped.
This technique can be applied to any Sun workstation, and has
nothing specifically to do with the Tunnel software.
There are several limitations associated with this approach. In
order for the routing lookup to yield the correct incoming
interface, it must be assumed that packets are routed the same way
in both directions. Also, if a source address is spoofed in such a
way that the packet is entering the gateway via the correct
interface, it will not be detected using this method.
The latest version of the Tunnel software is available via
anonymous FTP from venera.isi.edu, "pub/tunnel/tunnel_2.0.tar.Z".

MERIT/NSFNET ENGINEERING
------------------------
This report summarizes recent activities of Merit's Internet
Engineering and Network Management groups on behalf of the Routing
Arbiter (RA) Project and the NSFNET Backbone Service Project.
The process of dismantling the NSFNET Backbone Service began this
month, as ENSSs 138, 136, and 133 were turned off on March 11,
March 22, and March 31, respectively. Located in College Park and
Atlanta, ENSSs 138 and 136 were the NSFNET connection points for
SURAnet. Located in Ithaca, NY, ENSS 133 was the NSFNET connection
point for NYSERNet, the Cornell Theory Center, and PSI. These
terminations of service mean that SURAnet and NYSERNet are the
first regionals to be totally dependent on their new service
providers, internetMCI and SprintLink. In addition, the Cornell
Theory Center is the first supercomputer center to terminate its
dependence on the NSFNET Backbone Service.
ENSS 136 was also the NSFNET interconnection point with MAE-East.
The NSFNET Backbone Service will continue to have connectivity to
MAE-East+ until April 30, 1995.
Merit has also discontinued the T1 "safety net" to 10 sites that
have migrated to alternate service providers.
Packet counts for the various access points to the NSFNET service
show that most ENSSs have seen a reduction in traffic during the
last six months. A significant amount of traffic is still
traversing the NSFNET, however. Merit has posted a histogram that
shows the number of packets into the nodes of the backbone from
September 1994 to February 1995. The histogram is available at:
ftp://nic.merit.edu:/nsfnet/statistics/top10.transition.ps
Cooper [Page 20]
Internet Monthly Report March 1995
http://www.ra.net/stats.html
http://www.ra.net/transpage.html
The 10 nodes shown on the graph are the top 10 originators of
traffic into the backbone in February 1995. If you are attached to
one of the nodes highlighted on the graph, please be aware that
these attachments will be retired as of April 30, 1995. More
detailed information about NSFNET Backbone Service traffic can be
found at nic.merit.edu:/nsfnet/statistics/*.
The Routing Arbiter Project has added four new attributes to the
RIPE-181 (RFC 1786) syntax, which is used to express routing policy
in the Routing Arbiter Database. The new attributes are:
extended-as-in
extended-as-out
extended-interas-in
extended-interas-out
The "as-in" and "as-out" attributes, which are described in RFC
1786, make it possible to specify routing policy at an AS
granularity. That is, if two ASs exchange routes, as-in and as-out
describe the total of what routes are accepted and announced. The
"interas-in" and "interas-out" attributes, also described in RFC
1786, are similar to as-in and as-out, but they make it possible to
specify routing policy at a routing-session granularity. The new
attributes, extended-as-in, extended-as-out, extended- interas-in,
and extended-interas-out, have the added capability of allowing the
expression of routing policies that are based on AS paths.
The Routing Arbiter Project has placed a second Route Server at
MAE-East/MAE-East+. Among the NSPs and ISPs receiving actual
routes from the MAE-East/MAE-East+ Route Servers are NetCom, MCI,
PIPEX, and Net 99. Many thanks to these AS's for helping move the
new technology along!

MIDnet Announces Additional WWW Interfaces
-------------------------------------------
MIDnet announced the availability of two new WWW interfaces to
popular Internet resources:
The NEWSLTR mailing list, a moderated list for distribution of
Cooper [Page 21]
Internet Monthly Report March 1995
various Internet-related newsletters, was previously available only
to subscribers of the list. With MIDnet's new interface, the
newsletters can be accessed using the point-and-click technology of
the Web. Newsletters are archived by date (day and month) and may
be searched by title, keyword or newsletter name. News sources
include Edupage, Alawon, Infosys, the Scout Report, and Webster.
ANNOUNCE is a WWW view of the Usenet newsgroup
comp.infosystems.www.announce. The newsgroup focuses on announcing
the availability of new WWW resources. MIDnet's WWW interface
archives the announcements and provides a mechanism for searching
the archive by title, keyword, author, or subject. The MIDnet
interface also provides individual hyperlinks to the resources
being announced. These two resources can be found at:
http://www.mid.net:80/NEWSLETTER/
http://www.mid.net:80/ANNOUNCE/
Both may also be accessed from MIDnet's Library of Information
Services option on our WWW home page at: http://www.mid.net
