June 1996 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@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 ---------------------------- IETF Monthly Report for June, 1996 1. The IETF met in Montreal, Quebec, Canada from June 24-28, 1996. While the numbers are still being verified, it appears there were over 1200 attendees, another IETF record! The IETF will be returning to San Jose, California for the final meeting in 1996. This meeting, to be held December 9-13, 1996, will be hosted by cisco Systems. Opening 1997, the IETF travels to Memphis, Tennessee where Federal Express will be the host. This meeting will be held April 7-11, 1997. After Memphis, the IETF returns to Europe. While the arrangements are still being worked out, it looks like we'll be in Munich, Germany the week of August 11-15, 1997. 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 or http://www.ietf.org 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: May 23, 1996 (iesg.96-05-23) IMR Editor [Page 3] Internet Monthly Report June 1996 3.

Customer Service Representative (CSR) work schedules were adjusted to allow CSRs some time to process electronic customer requests without telephone interruptions. The following actions occurred with regard to new/modify/delete templates: (1) new templates were introduced via FTP and the InterNIC Web site on June 15, 1996; (2) the template process was IMR Editor [Page 16] Internet Monthly Report June 1996 changed from three separate batches to one combined batch; (3) CSRs were trained in processing the new templates and in the revised procedures associated with the release of Guardian. The Complaints Research Section assisted the various InterNIC's registration groups by taking on complaints, allowing more time for registrations to be processed. Developed and initiated plans to accomplish billing reconciliation tasks and backlog reduction. Hosted the final Focus Group session in Herndon, Virginia. The InterNIC was accepted to participate in the Harvard/Commercial Internet Exchange (CIX)/Internet Society (ISOC) "Coordination and Administration of the Internet workshop scheduled for September 1996. Draft versions of the Offensive Names and Lame Delegation Policies were completed and made available for internal review. Mark Kosters gave a presentation at the NANOG meeting on the InterNIC's status. Jasdip Singh made a Guardian presentation at the NANOG meeting. Mark Kosters, Dave Graves, Tom Newell and Chuck Gomes participated in the National Science Foundation (NSF) Quarterly Review held at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. Mark Kosters, Tom Newell and Dave Graves participated in a meeting with Larry Landweber to discuss multiple registries and multiple Top Level Domains (TLDs). The Guardian application was implemented on June 15, 1996; in support of Guardian, work was started to develope procedures for handling exception situations in the Guardian process. The production of 15-Day Invoices/Notices, Renewal Invoices and New Invoices was accelerated. New reports to track invoice and payment status were designed and made available. Revisions were made to the Billing Status Report to better meet customer needs regarding billing status of domain names. IMR Editor [Page 17] Internet Monthly Report June 1996 Press releases were prepared and distributed to announce the following: (1) the implementation of Guardian; and (2) the delay of deactivating domain names for lack of payment until June 24, 1996. InterNIC telephone trunks were separated from Network Solutions trunks and the InterNIC trunks were changed to Central Office Trunks, thereby providing increased ability to isolate problems. II.

Debbie Fuller <Debbief@internic.net> IMR Editor [Page 18] Internet Monthly Report June 1996 INTERNIC DIRECTORY AND DATABASE SERVICES At the IETF in Montreal, we met with Mike Schwartz to discuss the Netfind software distribution. InterNIC Directory and Database Services has agreed to be the distribution site for the Netfind code, and to build and distribute the Netfind Seed Database for other Netfind sites. We have also made some modifications to Netfind so it will find pointers to directory information in DNS if they are present. We are also working on Harvest. We expect to use it to index our Directory of Directories and to allow us to index items like web pages which cannot be easily handled by WAIS. 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. If you prefer, you can enter information about your resource in our WWW suggestion form. The form can be reached through our Directory of Directories Web page at: http://ds.internic.net:80/ds/dsdirofdirs.html Rick Huber <rvh@ds.internic.net> THE US DOMAIN REGISTRY Some of the processing of requests to the US Domain administrator is now automated. In particular, most requests to register names in localities already delegated are automatically forwarded to the administrator for that locality. 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). A new policy has been added to the criteria for delegating domain names under the US Domain: It is the intention that the delegation of third level (for example, locality) domain names be wide spread to many registries. It is undesirable for one person or organization to manage a large part of the third level names in any particular geographic or logical area. IMR Editor [Page 19] Internet Monthly Report June 1996 No individual or organization shall have more than 500 delegations total in the US Domain as a whole, or more than 50 delegation in any particuilar second level (for example, a state). To obtain a copy of the list of other delegated localities and subdomains not administered by the US Domain Registrar, get the file "us-domain-delegated.txt". URL: ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/us-domain-delegated.txt For further information about the US Domain, send a message to: US-DOMAIN@ISI.EDU, or see our WEB page: http://www.isi.edu/us-domain US DOMAIN ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION ------------------------------------ EMAIL/FAX 2286 PHONE 580 ---------------------------- Total Contacts 2866 DELEGATIONS 45 FORWARDED DELEGATIONS: 596 OTHER US DOMAIN MSGS: 2225 --------------------------- Total 2866 OTHER US DOMAIN MESSAGES INCLUDE: referrals to other subdomains or to/from the InterNic, phone calls, modifications, application requests, discussion and clarification of the requests, questions about names, resolving technical problems with zone files and name servers, and whois listings. In addition, and not listed below, another 415 localities have been delegated in Arizona, California, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Virginia, Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Montana, New York, Texas, Tennessee, Florida, Georgia and Oregon this month.

Merit is pleased to announce the release of RAWhoisd, a high-speed query server that incorporates all of the capabilities of the RIPE whoisd server and adds many new features. RAWhoisd offers a multiple command mode, in which the server accepts and services successive query requests until the user issues a +quit+ command. This feature greatly facilitates RAWhoisd's interaction with various tools. In addition, RAWhoisd supports many new single and multi-object queries that work well with the new generation of IRR router configuration and network analysis tools being deployed by the Routing Arbiter and others. Here are some examples: IMR Editor [Page 22] Internet Monthly Report June 1996 !!

For queries retrieving single objects or attribute values from multiple databases, RAWhoisd reports if there are multiple copies of the object with different content in the different source databases. For more information about the extended capabilities of RAWhoisd, see the man page at: http://www.ra.net/RADB.tools.docs/rawhoisd.8.html If you have questions about using the new server, send e-mail to db-admin@ra.net. Users may also want to obtain an enhanced version of the RIPE whois client that been modified for the RADB. It is available from: ftp://ftp.ra.net/routing.arbiter/tools/etc/whois IMR Editor [Page 23] Internet Monthly Report June 1996 Sixty-three ISPs are now peering with the Route Servers at the Network Access Points. Forty-three of these providers depend on the Route Servers for importing and exporting routes, rather than preferring multiple bilateral peering sessions. The Route Servers offload computationally intensive routing tasks from these routers, freeing processing time. For a listing of current peering sessions, see: http://www.ra.net/statistics/bgp.peers Merit staff members Sue Hares, Bill Norton, Jerry Winters, and Elise Gerich attended the 36th IETF in Montreal during the week of June 23. At the Routing Policy System Working Group meetings, Winters gave a presentation about the transition from RIPE-181 to the new Routing Policy System Language. Gerich participated in the IAB open meeting and co-chaired the IEPG meeting preceding IETF. Hares co-chaired the IETF Inter-Domain Routing Working Group meeting. At the Internet Society's Workshop on Network Technology for Countries in the Early Stages of Internetworking, offered in conjunction with INET '96, Hares taught sessions on host-based and backbone internetworking technology. IETF was also the site of a Merit GateD Consortium meeting. The next release of GateD, expected this fall, will incorporate CIDR support in OSPF (RFC 1583), as well as support for the BGP Multi Exit Discriminator (MED) and Destination Preference Attribute (DPA). The DPA makes it possible for multi-homed ASs to specify a preferred path for incoming traffic. For more information about the GateD Consortium, see: http://www.gated.org Susan R.
