NIMROD - NEXT GENERATION ROUTING AND ADDRESSING FOR THE INTERNET
The goal of the Nimrod project is to design, specify, implement and
test a flexible new routing and addressing architecture suitable
for very large scale internets. The basic architecture for
computation of routes will be based on distribution of network
topology maps, with source-specified route selection, and local
(i.e. not hop by hop) computation of routes.
The architecture provides a single homogeneous framework for all
routing, including both inter-domain and intra-domain.
Highlights:
- The Nimrod IETF-BOF is now a working group.
- The following IDs have been released:

REAL-TIME INFORMATION TRANSFER AND NETWORKING (RITN)
RITN is the successor program of what used to be called
"Scalability." Its goal is to provide networking support to very
large scale distributed interactive simulations (DIS). BBN is
presently working cooperatively with NRL, NRaD, Lincoln Lab and
Loral Advanced Distributed Simulation (LADS) to implement a
prototype system for reducing the wide-area traffic load of DIS
exercises by aggressive application of IP multicasting. In order
to meet the traffic reduction goals of this program, simulation
application hosts must be provided with multicasting service that
can accommodate 10's of thousands of concurrently subscribed groups
with highly dynamic membership (100s of joins per second and less-
than-.5-sec. join time). On top of this, simulation traffic must
be afforded quality-of-service guarantees.
Unfortunately, currently available wide-area networking technology
doesn't provide this degree of multicast service on a large scale.
ARPA/ASTO has settled on an interim approach to this problem in
order to meet impending operational requirements of the Synthetic
Theater of War (STOW) program. The interim approach involves a
gateway that sits at each site between the site LAN and the WAN
access point. Among other traffic reduction functions like host
throttling and selective packet dropping, this gateway provides a
set of services called "bilevel multicast routing and QoS." BBN is
handling the design and implementation of the bilevel services.
The essential idea is that a large number of highly dynamic
multicast groups defined by the application hosts get "mapped into"
a smaller number of relatively static multicast groups defined in
the intersite WAN. The gateway appears to the application hosts as
a multicast-capable router, accepting IGMP messages from them and
forwarding their multicast-addressed packets from site to site(s).
To the WAN, the gateway appears as a host belonging to some
Cooper [Page 8]
Internet Monthly Report April 1995
relatively stable number of multicast groups defined in the WAN.
For QoS, the situation is similar. The application hosts will be
equipped with RSVP daemons. The HPAG will include a QoS module
that accepts RSVP messages from the hosts at a site. It will then
combine the host bandwidth requirements with the mapping of LAN-
defined multicast groups to WAN groups to determine an aggregate
bandwidth requirement for each WAN group. This information will be
provided to both the WAN (when and if it is RSVP-capable) and the
HPAG load-leveling functions, so that they can police the locally
generated traffic to protect it from arbitrary packet dropping in
the WAN.
The ultimate goal is to be able to remove the interposed gateway as
soon as there are wide-area routers capable of providing the
large-number-of-groups, highly dynamic multicast service required
for large-scale DIS. By implementing the interim solution
described here, the hosts get an "early lesson" in how to use the
services to maintain high-fidelity, large-scale simulations while
sending information only to where it is needed. Furthermore, ARPA
gets an early empirical assessment of what kind of service is
needed from IP multicast routing and RSVP, so they can better
influence future enhancements of these services.
At the end of April, BBN had completed detailed designs for the
modules and interfaces of the bilevel routing and QoS schemes.
Prototype implementations will be completed over the next few
months and integrated with code being written by other RITN
participants. BBN has also written a traffic generator for testing
the resulting system with traffic that authentically represents
real DIS multicast traffic flows. This generator is currently
undergoing performance tuning. A corresponding instrumented
traffic sink will be designed and built in the next few weeks.

CHICAGO NAP
-----------
General Status:
The "Contingency Plan" FDDI configuration at the Chicago NAP is
operational now. At the downtown Chicago site, AADS has purchased
and installed routers for ANS, MCI and Sprint to support the NSFNET
transition. MCI and ANS are peering and exchanging production
traffic across the local FDDI. The Routing Arbiter's route server
is also attached to this FDDI. The Sprint circuit order is still in
progress. These FDDI-attached routers are also all attached to the
Cooper [Page 9]
Internet Monthly Report April 1995
ATM switch at DS-3. (The routers are cisco 7010 and the ATM switch
is AT&T GCNS-2000.)
The Kentrox ATM DSU buffer overflow bugs have been fixed with a new
revision of the hardware. All ADSUs have been upgraded.

Peering and Transit Agreements:
Chicago NAP customers have begun meeting monthly, and are working
on a multi-lateral peering agreement. This will allow mutual
exchange of routes to customer networks. Also, many regional (ie.
Cooper [Page 10]
Internet Monthly Report April 1995
single NAP-connected) providers are working on establishing transit
agreements with national (ie. multi-connected) providers.
Recent Events:
Argonne, Fermi and University of Chicago have upgraded from their
DS3 SMDS trial to ATM NAP connections. Fermi and UOC will remain at
DS3, while Argonne will upgrade to OC3c. In addition, University of
Illinois at Chicago is connecting at OC3c.
The AT&T switch has been upgraded with new port cards, for greater
buffering capability and a new software revision.
Next Steps:
Many circuit installations are in progress and new orders are being
taken. Peering agreements should allow many new ATM PVCs to be
established. Ongoing testing of router, DSU and switch performance
is occuring at the AADS lab in Hoffman Estates, IL. Bellcore is
testing the cisco DS3 AIP card. It is expected that the DS3 AIP
will be the next upgrade step for NAP customers, as it supports
rate shaping and eliminates the ADSU. The contingency plan routers
and FDDI will remain in place for at least 6 months, or until the
ATM performance is proved to be satisfactory.

TEN-34 CONSORTIUM: TOWARDS A REAL SUPERHIGHWAY FOR EUROPEAN
RESEARCH
A Consortium of eighteen European research and university
networking organisations[1], has submitted a proposal with the name
TEN-34 in response to the joint call for proposals issued by DG III
and DG XIII of the European Commission under the Fourth Framework
Programme; a compatible proposal was also submitted under the ACTS
programme. The Commission had invited organisations to collaborate
in the preparation of bids to establish the interconnection of
European research and university networks at 34-155 Mbps supported
in part by EU funding. DANTE acts as the co-ordinating body in the
Consortium, providing the main technical and financial management
as well as assistance to the TEN-34 Steering Committee with the
preparation of plans and proposals. A number of public network
operators have agreed to be Associated Partners in the TEN-34
proposal.
The main technical goal of the TEN-34 Consortium is to establish
and maintain a leading-edge backbone designed to interconnect the
National Networks. This will create early opportunities for the
research and university community to establish new pan-European
networking applications based on new technology.
The initial aim is the provision of a 34 Mbps IP infrastructure,
and the establishment on a pan-European scale of an ATM-based test
network with a clear production service specification in mind. The
network will expand to include 155 Mbps technology and higher
bandwidths to maintain a leading-edge capability when required and
feasible.
In order to establish advanced facilities, special arrangements are
being sought with the suppliers of international communication
links. This involves the negotiation of special rates as part of a
collaborative R&D activity which in turn may require constraints to
be placed on usage, and other special measures.
Cooper [Page 12]
Internet Monthly Report April 1995
The network is being developed in a pragmatic fashion, meaning that
links, nodes and interconnection points are created not only to
satisfy, as well as possible, national network requirements, but
also as practically and financially feasible. The requirement for
intercontinental, specifically transatlantic, connections employing
similar technology is also being addressed.
The proposal presents a phased plan to include initially those
national research networks which already have high speed networking
requirements, for which international links are available and which
have sufficient co-funding; other National Networks will join as
and when they meet these criteria.
The TEN-34 proposal to the DG III and DG XIII Programme has
received a favourable evaluation report and the Consortium is now
working to define a detailed implementation plan with those PNOs
which have declared their intention to cooperate.

INTERNIC
--------
INTERNIC REGISTRATION SERVICES
I. Significant Events
InterNIC Registration Services assigned over 12,147 network
addresses and registered over 9,911 domains. Five top-level
country domains were registered during April for: Vanuatu (VU),
Micronesia (FM), Kiribati (KI), and Uzbekistan (UZ).
Cooper [Page 13]
Internet Monthly Report April 1995
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 April, the increase of domain requests
increased from an average of 400+ to 500+ 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 April 1995, the processing time
decreased from a high of 15 days to 10 days.
II. Current Status
During the month of April 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 17,867 (hostmaster@internic.net)
Postal/Fax 304 (primarily IP number requests)
Phone 5,462
The Registrations Services host computer supported a large volume
of information retrieval requests during the month of April.

INTERNIC DIRECTORY AND DATABASE SERVICES
The net-happenings mailing list is maintained by Gleason Sackman
and is hosted on dsmail.internic.net. After soliciting comments
from the users of the list, Gleason has decided to modify the list
to make it easier for users to get the information they want while
cutting down on the overall amount of traffic received.
Cooper [Page 14]
Internet Monthly Report April 1995
The main net-happenings list will continue to exist, but a number
of sub-lists will be set up to address different topics within the
list. Users who are interested in a subset of the total list can
subscribe to one or more of the sub-lists and reduce the amount of
mail to be read.
There are now sub-lists for information on new information sites on
the Internet (net-sites); newsletters and other publications on the
net (net-zines); conferences, seminars, training, and other events
(net-events); and other topics (net-misc). The net-happenings list
is the sum of net-sites, net-zines, net-events, and net-misc. Thus
there is no point in subscribing to any of the sub-lists if you
subscribe to the main list; you will just get duplicate messages.
To subscribe to any of the sub-lists send email to
majordomo@dsmail.internic.net with the subject line blank and with
the line:
subscribe <sub-list name>
in the body of the message.
Since all the sub-lists are included in the net-happenings
list, only the full net-happenings list will be archived.
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.

Internet Monthly Report April 1995
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.
Farewell NSFNET! The last of the NSFNET ENSSs was shut down at
midnight on April 30 in each respective U.S. time zone. The final
shutdown went without a hitch, as did most of the events leading up
to the final dismantling of the NSFNET Backbone Service. The
smooth transition was due in large part to independent and
proactive actions taken by many regional networks, several of whom
began to terminate their NSFNET connections in March.
Merit scheduled an initial test of the NSFNET shutdown to uncover
any potential reachability problems. The test was postponed for
several days, but eventually ran successfully on Tuesday, April 25.
Overall, the retirement of the Backbone Service was quite
uneventful, with few networks experiencing connectivity problems.
Many thanks to the regionals for their cooperation since 1988 and
during the transition to the new frontier!
Merit's venerable Policy Routing Database (PRDB) will be turned off
at 09:00 EST on Monday, May 8. The PRDB has been used to configure
the NSFNET Backbone Service and ANSNET (AS690) since 1989. After
May 8, configurations for the ANSNET backbone will be generated
from the Routing Arbiter Database (RADB).
The PRDB and the RADB have been running with parallel data for over
a year. As of May 8, the last data from the PRDB will be
transferred to the RADB, and the PRDB will be permanently retired.
NACRs will no longer be accepted for AS690 configurations; the way
to submit additions or changes of route announcements for AS690
will be to submit Route objects by e-mail to auto-dbm@ra.net. For
more information, see:
http://www.ra.net (select Routing Arbiter from the Projects menu)
ftp://ftp.ra.net/routing.arbiter/radb/OVERVIEW
Jessica Yu has helped Ameritech Advanced Data Services develop a
Multi- Lateral Peering Agreement (MLPA) for peers at the AADS NAP.
She also proposed a mechanism that facilitates implementation of
the MLPA using the Route Server and the RADB.
Craig Labovitz has been working with several Network Service
Providers to develop routing monitoring and analysis tools to
facilitate the transition to the new NSF architecture. The new
Cooper [Page 18]
Internet Monthly Report April 1995
tools have been incorporated into Labovitz' Multi-Threaded Routing
Toolkit (MRT), which provides a powerful collection of tools for
developing and debugging inter-domain routing protocols and
policies. More information about MRT is available at:
http://www.ra.net/routing.arbiter/RT/mrt.html
Merit is using the bilingual SNMPv1/v2 agent to monitor the Route
Servers at the three contingency NAPs and the MAE-East facility.
As far as is known to the network management staff, Merit is the
first to deploy the SNMPv2 technology in an operational
environment. Bill Norton outlined Merit's network management
strategy in an "SNMP in Your Network" panel at the April
COMDEX/Spring '95 exposition in Atlanta.
