INTERNET PROJECTS

BOLT BERANEK AND NEWMAN INC.
----------------------------
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.
During the month of May, we completed the design of the software
architecture for the prototype implementation of Nimrod. This
includes specification of functionality, protocols, software
modules, service interfaces between modules, and data structures.
We are nearing completion of the detailed design of the software
for three of the major protocols for Nimrod: database update,
database query-response, and path management. In June, we will
begin the implementation of the Nimrod software (in C over NetBSD).

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 ATI, NRaD, NRL, Lincoln Lab
and Loral Advanced Distributed Simulation (LADS) to implement a
prototype system for reducing the wide-area traffic load of DIS
exercises while maintaining their fidelity. It is called the
Application Control Techniques (ACT) System, and BBN is designing
and implementing functions to provide advanced network services in
support of its traffic reduction and fidelity control objectives.
During May, we implemented and tested code that will facilitate
NTP-based time synchronization of all SGI application hosts
including ModSAF platforms and the simulation loggers. Calls to
the system clock were deemed to expensive for ModSAF, and so we
Cooper [Page 9]
Internet Monthly Report May 1995
enabled NTP synchronization of an alternative clock based on the
SGI's cycle counter and wrote an API for developers wishing to
access this clock.
Implementation of bilevel multicast routing and quality of service
functions got under way, and coordination with other ACT System
developers on integration issues and MIB definition continued. For
bilevel QOS, we imported ISI's latest implementation of the RSVP
daemon and began porting it to the SGI.
We completed work on a traffic generator that can output a packet
flow with packet size and arrival distributions identical to those
of a previously recorded DIS packet trace. The output packets can
be addressed according to a table associating destination addresses
with simulation entities. We started work on a companion receiver
that can be programmed to send IGMP join and leave messages at
specified times. These tools will be time-synchronized with each
other and used to test the bilevel multicast routing services
Walter Milliken completed a draft report outlining the issues of
providing IP multicast services for real-time applications in
internetworks incorporating ATM subnets. After review by our
Government sponsor, this will be presented as an ID within the IP-
over-ATM Working Group.

INTERNIC
--------
INTERNIC DIRECTORY AND DATABASE SERVICES
InterNIC Directory and Database Services has a WWW home page for
the NIC Locator Database (aka NIC Profiles). This database is
hosted by DS for the IETF NISI working group. The entries point to
Network Information Centers on the Internet with some snippets of
information such as services and publications available, contacts,
hours of operation, primary audience, etc. The WWW home page may
be found at:
http://ds.internic.net/ds/niclocate.html
All NICs on the Internet are invited to place an entry in this
database. The entry template may be found at:
ftp://ds.internic.net/pub/niclocator.template
Cooper [Page 10]
Internet Monthly Report May 1995
Or - you may submit an entry via the NIC Locator DB home page.
Entries should be forwarded to scout@ds.internic.net, scal@cts.com,
and debbie@internic.net.
For directory services, we started a new X.500 DSA named "Red-Faced
Tamarin" on one of our secondary machines (ds1.internic.net).
The main function of this DSA is to act as a slave DSA for the
top-level entries of X.400 information in the Open Community
routing tree in the Long Bud project started by the IETF MHS-DS
working group. The Long Bud project comprises four DSAs holding
the top-level entries - two in USA and two in Europe. The four
DSA's fully replicate each other's routing tree entries. All
nonleaf entries in the routing tree include slaveDSA attributes so
that pilot participants will be able to find backups when primary
DSA's are unreachable.
The new DSA will also provide additional redundancy for our other
X.500-based services.
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 9,503 network addresses
and registered over 13,974 domains. One top-level country domains
were registered during May for: Cameroon (CM).
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.
Released the new domain template. It now handles new, update, and
delete actions through the same template.
Cooper [Page 11]
Internet Monthly Report May 1995
During the month of May, domain requests are averaging between 400+
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 May
1995, the domain processing queue had decreased from 8,000 to 5,000
new domain registrations.
The final draft of the InterNIC policy and procedures guidelines for
Network numbers was approved by Jon Postel. Also, the new Internet
Service Provider (ISP) template was approved. Both are available
on-line from RS.INTERNIC.NET.
II. Current Status
During the month of May 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 22,954 (hostmaster@internic.net)
Postal/Fax 299 (primarily IP number requests)
Phone 4,587
The Registrations Services host computer supported a large volume
of information retrieval requests during the month of May.

MERIT/NSFNET ENGINEERING
------------------------
With the successful retirement of the NSFNET Backbone Service,
Merit's Internet Engineering and Network Management groups now
focus on the NSF- funded Routing Arbiter (RA) project, charged with
providing routing coordination for the post-NSFNET network
infrastructure. Merit's partners in the RA project are the
University of Southern California Information Sciences Institute
(ISI); IBM, as a subcontractor to ISI; and the University of
Michigan ROC, as a subcontractor to Merit.
Merit is preparing a history of the NSFNET that will trace the
growth and influence of the backbone since its beginnings in 1988.
We are particularly interested in hearing about how the NSFNET
enhanced the research capabilities of scientists and researchers
around the country. If you would like to contribute examples of
backbone advancements for your work in the sciences or humanities,
please contact Susan R. Harris (srh@merit.edu).
Merit reached a milestone at 09:00 EST on Monday, May 8, when the
venerable Policy Routing Database (PRDB) was turned off and
replaced by the Routing Arbiter Database (RADB). The PRDB had been
used to configure the NSFNET Backbone Service and ANSNET (AS690)
since 1989. Under the RADB, the method for submitting new routes
has changed. Instead of submitting Network Announcement Change
Cooper [Page 15]
Internet Monthly Report May 1995
Requests (NACRs) for human processing, users directly register
information by sending in RADB "Route objects" for immediate
inclusion in the database system. Additions and entries to the new
registry are made by the home AS that creates the route, rather
than by a peer AS of AS690. The RADB is used to configure the
Routing Arbiter's Route Servers and the ANSNET backbone.
A new routing tool set, the RAToolSet, is now freely available from
the Routing Arbiter partnership. Among the new tools is
'radbserver,' an enhanced whois server that provides information
collected from all the registries that form part of the Internet
Routing Registry (IRR). The IRR currently includes internetMCI's
registry and the database maintained by CA*net, in addition to the
RIPE NCC and Routing Arbiter databases. These linked registries
provide information on most of the networks and ASs routed in the
Internet today.
The RADB whois server is easy to use. For example, the following
command queries the RADB for information about a network with the
address 193.101.106.0 . (The -h parameter tells the whois client on
your machine that you want to talk to the whois server supplied by
the Routing Arbiter service):
whois -h whois.ra.net 193.101.106.0
The output comprises two Route objects containing information about
that network: one Route object from the RIPE NCC's database, and
one from the RADB. You can also request information about a
particular AS:
whois -h whois.ra.net AS800
The RADB output comprises two AS objects, one from the RADB and one
from the CA*net registry. The following query asks for information
about the individuals who maintain routing information for AS800:
whois -h whois.ra.net MAINT-AS800
The output is an RADB Maintainer object.
We encourage network operators and providers to register their
policy in the RADB or one of the other registries in the IRR; this
will enable other members of the Internet community to obtain a
consistent view of your routing policy. For more information about
registering in the RADB, see
http://www.ra.net/routing.arbiter/RA/RADB.tools.docs/register.html.

Internet Monthly Report May 1995
Other tools in the RAToolSet include:
peval A policy evaluator that inputs a RIPE-181 policy
expression, performs essential background
calculations such as symbolic evaluations and
expansions, and outputs another RIPE-181 policy
expression that is used by other tools, such as
RTConfig.
RTConfig A router configuration tool that can be used by
providers to generate router configs directly
from the RADB or other IRR registries. Currently
in production use for the RA Route Servers, ANSNET,
and CA*net, RTConfig is a front-end tool that uses
peval and radbserver transparently to users.
Peval and RTConfig are available at
ftp://ftp.ra.net/routing.arbiter/tools/RAToolSet/. Peval is
included in the RTConfig source code.
Work continues on establishing peering sessions for the RA
project's Route Servers at the NAPs and other interconnection
points. The Route Servers--Sun SPARC 20 workstations installed at
each connection point-- eliminate the need for pair-wise peering
among the attached Internet Service Providers (ISPs.) The Route
Servers input routing information from each ISP router, create a
"view" (a Routing Information Base) reflecting that ISP's policy
requirements, and pass the processed routing information to each
ISP's router. The Route Servers thus reduce the number of peering
sessions each ISP router needs to process from O(n) to O(1).
Routing information at the interconnection points flows only
between ISP's routers and the Route Servers; traffic flows only
between ISP routers. Route Servers are physically in place at the
AADS, Sprint, PacBell, MAE-East, and MAE-West interconnection
points, and are expected to be in full production mode by June 30,
1995. Further information about the Route Servers is available
from the RA home page, cited earlier in this report.

20th RIPE Meeting - Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Joyce K. Reynolds
USC/Information Sciences Institute
The 20th RIPE Meeting
The 20th RIPE Meeting was held in January 1995 in Amsterdam, The
Netherlands. Approximately 115 people attended.
Introduction to RIPE
Due to new members attending the RIPE meetings for the first time,
Rob Blokzijl and Daniel Karrenberg presented an introduction to
RIPE and the RIPE NCC (Network Coordination Center). Rob lead the
talk describing when the Internet came into Europe on a large
scale (1987-1988), they wanted to communicate with the U.S. In
the 1980's the term "IP" was a dirty word in Europe. The first
RIPE meeting that was held had an attendance of 14 people. It was
originally called the "European IP Coordinating Committee". Rob
stated that the attendance at this meeting will be over 100.
This group invented a name (RIPE - Reseaux IP Europeens) and
worked out a terms of reference (charter) in 1989, which explained
what RIPE is, what it does, and what it doesn't do:
- RIPE operates as an exchange mechanism with IP technology
- The area of operations is Europe (this term is used loosely -
in this context it includes Algeria, Israel, East Europe, etc.)
- Whoever operates wide area networks are encouraged to
participate
- RIPE is not organized by country, but by widescale organizations
- Promotes and coordinates IP networks
- RIPE is not a network service provider
- RIPE serves as the forum for a focal point for other common
activities of the participants related to IP networking
- It is open and equal, like the Internet
- All documents are published openly
- RIPE establishes agreement on common network management
Cooper [Page 19]
Internet Monthly Report May 1995
How is RIPE organized in practice?
- meets three times a year
- working groups, plenary sessions
- the plenary agenda includes reports of action items, reports
on the RIPE NCC, financial reports, etc.
- InterNIC/APNIC Reports
- TERENA Report
- IETF Report
- IPv6 report from the European perspective
Rob stated to the attendees that the Internet is like a great
ocean. It is huge. No one owns it.
TERENA (Trans European Research and Education Network Association)
- An Association of Research Networks

Internet Monthly Report May 1995
Rob stated that RIPE has no formal membership. If you come to a
RIPE meeting, you are member.
The NIDUS Working Group Meeting - Nandor Hovarth
GARR Report - A. Blasco Bonito
The Network Resources Project is still going on since the last
GARR Report at the RIPE meetings in Lisbon last September. The
project is partially completed. A modified WAIS server has been
created. About 60% of the academic community in Italy is now in
the map. The largest problem so far is keeping the maps up to
date. So far, this project has completed the following:
1) X.500 Directory - includes all information of Italian
organizations and people.
2) In parallel with the WHOIS database, with RIPE technology.
3) Modified WAIS server from the technical point of view. The
user has all the information they need to find resources.
4) The problem is gathering the resources correctly and ALL the
information, not just pieces of information.
5) A template has been created to be filled out. They have
established a Network Information Retrieval group in Italy,
which is gathering up the information.
6) Tools are in place and are able to collect the information.
There was a question from one attendee on what the percentage of
available resources are registered? The answer was 60-75% of the
information in the academic world has been registered. In the
commercial world it is not yet known. The information collected
is just about Italy, not other countries. Another attendee asked
if it was possible to install a map via the World Wide Web
automatically. The reply was that is certainly be possible, but
that the software to do this isn't quite there yet. Additional
information can be found at: wais://wais.nis.garr.it.
TERENA - Frode Greisen
TERENA = A RARE+EARNINFO Merger
TERENA is one national network organization per country, but not
limited to Europe. Though, it is Europe oriented. The associate
membership includes the International Treaty Organization (ITO).
TERENA is investigating if it would be possible to allow for
associate members, which is for organizations who are interested
in TERENA, and for international members, for example inter-
governmental organizations like the UN. There is a General
Assembly, which is the Executive Committee, and three Vice-
Cooper [Page 21]
Internet Monthly Report May 1995
Presidents. There is a Technical Committee which decides about
new projects. Rob Blokzijl, as RIPE Chair, is now a member of
this committee, but this may change if RIPE intends to
incorporate.
The reason for the merger was less overhead, more volunteers, less
paid staff, and to provide a glue for international networking.
The working groups originally in RARE will still be in existence,
but central funding will not be available as in the earlier days.
Today, volunteers will do the work. There was a call for
proposals last fall. Fifty proposals were submitted, and are
currently under review.
Connectivity WG - Milan Sterba
There were many new countries represented at this RIPE meeting.
So, Milan opened the session by explaining what the RIPE
Connectivity WG is about. It is interested in new countries
starting out in the Internet, and connectivity in general, also.
There are big differences in hostcounts in each country. Some
have more than one host per 1,000 people, other less than one host
per 1,000 people. National reports are requested at these
sessions so that attendees can be informed of what's new in
international connectivity, new services, problems, territorial
coverage progress, international coverage progress, and related
projects.
National Reports:
Albania: no representative
Baltic Countries: no representative
Bulgaria: no representative
Crotia: no representative
Czech Republic:
There are two international lines, 512kbs from Praha to Amsterdam
and 128kbs from Praha to Vienna. The Vienna line will be updated
to 256kbs. There are 128kbs and 64kbs national lines connecting
Liberec, Ostrava, Olomouc, Brno, Plzen and Ceske Budejovice.
Service providers in the Czech Republic currently include CESnet,
COnet, and EUnet CZ. They do not have an official agreement
between them, but exchange traffic. A new item since the last
report is that the Prague academic MAN now runs on an ATM backbone
on six sites.
Cooper [Page 22]
Internet Monthly Report May 1995
Egypt: no representative
Estonia: no representative
Faroe Island: NORDUNET connection
Hungary:
Business as usual. The two Vienna lines, which are 64kbs from
Budapest to Vienna, will be replaced by one 256kbs line. There is
a Europanet connection which is one line to Prague. This hasn't
changed since the last RIPE meeting.
Jordan:
There is a NETS company that provide services to the Internet. It
has been operational since October 1994, with about 120 customers.
There are only analog circuits available. The situation is
similar to Lebanon. $15,000 for an analog circuit. It is hard to
start a service provider business in Jordan. There are also
technical problems.
Lebanon:
Lebanon is just coming out of a twenty year war. They do not have
any domestic communication infrastructure. There is a satellite
link provided by LIBANPAC (France Telecom/Italian Cable), X.25,
satellite and marine cable. The X.25 network is very expensive,
and there are strict rules and regulations about running it
outside of the country. Currently, it is tough dealing with the
Lebanese on the concept of the Internet. Internally, they are not
allowed to provide services to users or other countries. Charges
are expensive to the outside world and it is not feasible to start
an Internet service provider business. There is also not much
technical expertise in this environment at this point in time.
Liechtenstein:
There is a new connection now that EUnet is managing it (email
only).
Macedonia:
Has email connectivity provided by Slovania.
Malta:
Email connectivity only at this point in time.
Morocco:
A new country with email connectivity only to their School of
Engineering via EUnet.
Poland:
Cooper [Page 23]
Internet Monthly Report May 1995
The 9.6kbs line from Minsk is one host now. The line from Warsaw
now goes to Stockholm via 2Mb (satellite NORDUNET and UNISOURCE).
A question came up if pictures are available. Yes, via URL:
http://www.nask.org.pl/NASK/ripe-info.html. The NASK box is a
Polish box in Stockholm that operates two lines. Another question
was what are Poland's plan with routing issues? Poland has had
problems in the past, but now they are routing EBONE via Stockholm
and the problem has been solved.
Romania:
There are two 9.6kbs lines, one from Bucharest to Vienna, which
will be replaced by a 64kbs satellite, and the other from
Bucharest to the EMPB/Europanet. All links are loaded at present
with about 2 1/2 gigabytes per month. This is the academic
network. For commercial providers, they have a different
international link.
Russia:
There are different points of view in state problems with the
Internet in Russia. The situation in Russia is that the academic
community relies on both commercial (Relcom, IASnet) and academic
providers (Moscow State University/DFN), Russian Space Science
Agency, Freenet (represents Russia in TERENA))
Building a large academic network for all is a large state program
task. The RELARN (Russia Electronic Academic Research Network)
project has been started up, with two goals:
- better connectivity
- better services through regional, commercial nets
This task of providing services to all the scientific community by
means of all networks which work correctly is difficult with cost
sharing of the backbone. There has been a lot of experience in
technical work. Part of the backbone development of this project
is under the guidance of the Soros Foundation, the other part of
the development is a planned state project.
The end-user support of the original network used to be provided
by Relcom. The Ministry of Science understands the implications
of supporting the Internet in Russia, but the budget support is
poor now, and not very optimistic for the future.
In the local regions of Russia, there is a poor information
infrastructure. Moscow is now the most expensive city in the
world. The concept is to create regional NAPs (St. Petersburg,
Moscow, Ekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Chabarovsk) and a backbone
network to interconnect them. Users connect to the net through
Cooper [Page 24]
Internet Monthly Report May 1995
regional providers, connected to the NAPs. Also, to start using
ex-military satellites, and other communication satellites.
The major digital information infrastructure communication players
in the IP market include SovAm, GTS (Global Telecommunication
Systems), Sprint Group, Relcom, and RUNNET (Russia University
Net). They all have important plans to implement national
backbones over higher-speed satellite links. They have been
encouraged to:
1) establish relationships and connectivity within Moscow
2) proceed jointly in setting up national satellite overlay
3) jointly participate in the CIX international.
There are plans to establish digital links to 15 cities this year.
The Sprint Group intends to build satellites and expand IP
services, and provide digital links with IP for the Internet for
large cities of Russia by the end of this year. There have been
requests received for IP connection from Africa (Central and
South), and Asia to connect to the Internet via Russia.
There is a Russia/European problem of a "dead area", concerning
the links through Scandinavia. There is a need for communication
with Europe and the West. This also is in need of funding. GTS
provides $300 million, and Sprint provides $100 million.
Currently, Relcom and Sprint are the core of the Russia commercial
activity.
Cooper [Page 25]
Internet Monthly Report May 1995
RIPE General Plenary
Rob Blokzijl lead the review and approval of the agenda and
minutes of the last meeting.
IETF Report
Joyce Reynolds presented an Internet Engineering Task Force report
from the San Jose IETF, held in November 1994. (See Appendix A.)
This report updated the RIPE attendees on the current "hot" topics
the IETF is focusing on and updated progress. This included IPng,
security matters, etc.
The User Services Area of the IETF Report
A report was given to the RIPE plenary attendees by Joyce Reynolds
about the state and status of the User Services Area of the IETF.
(See Appendix B.) This item was originally on the NIDUS working
group agenda. It was decided by Rob Blokzijl that this
presentation should be rescheduled to take place at the plenary
session.
RIPE NCC Report - Daniel Karrenberg
See also, "Introduction to RIPE" section.
Daniel Karrenberg presented the RIPE NCC Report. There are 148
local registries as of 24 January 1995. Daniel stated that the
growth in the number of registries is like the DNS hostcount
growth - it is almost out of control, but it is improving slowing.
The relationship between the number of DNS hosts and the parallel
growth of the number of registries has not changed. It is
predicted that there will approximately 240 registries by the end
of this year. The new provider registries continue to require more
support and guidance from the NCC than those having a long
Internet history. It is close to getting out of hand, but new
registries do provide more income for the NCC.
Registry workload growth continues to be overwhelming. The
hostmaster alone receiveds at least 37 messages a day, and the
<ncc@ripe.net> mailbox receives 41 messages a day. More than 50%
of these messages are routine questions, and this is resulting in
staff burnout. Daniel is a bit more optimistic about the NCC work
load situation then when last reported at the RIPE meeting in
Lisbon. There is still a backlog in the hostmaster queue, but
there are some signs of improvement.
Cooper [Page 26]
Internet Monthly Report May 1995
There are now five personnel available (seven are planned for
1995). However, Marten Terpstra is leaving the NCC after the
PRIDE project has been finished, and Tony Bates left recently,
also. The FTEs (Full Time Equivalents) that are actually needed
for the NCC is still lagging behind the workload. It is still not
possible to do everything that should be done according the RIPE
NCC Activity Plan.
For the coming period it is planned to develop training and
documentation for new registries. Furthermore, a ticketing system
will be introduced to keep better track of the larger number of
requests the NCC expects. The billing procedures will be
streamlined to make less errors and to keep up with the larger
number of registries and also a new charging model for 1996 should
be developed. The Quarterly reports which have been delayred will
be restarted in a new revised format. The most important task is
to keep up with the growth.
RIPE Financial Report Progress
Daniel presented the RIPE NCC financial report. There was no
agreement reached on a funding model for 1995, despite several
efforts by TERENA and the NCC. However, consensus was reached
that the 1996 funding model should be more usage based and the NCC
committed to develop alternatives by mid-1995.
A conservative budget of ECU 407,500, compared to the ECU 245,000
of 1994 was presented and discussed. As of 23rd January, the
revenue showed that 70% of the budget was confirmed informally
(via EMail or Phone), but 20% was actually secured by getting a
formal commitment. On 1st February, the RIPE NCC will process
requests from contributing registries before those from non-
contributing registries and individuals. This is in fairness to
those contributing to the costs of the service. More information
regarding the new charging scheme can be found in: URL:

Policy Based Routing Implementation and Deployment in Europe
(PRIDE) - Marten Terpstra
Marten Terpstra presented the final report of the PRIDE project.
The PRIDE project ended in October 1994. The main objectives of
the PRIDE project were to provide tools that make use of a Routing
Registry, to provide information about the routing registries, and
to coordinate with other routing registries. The PRIDE tools were
released in two stages. Most of the tools are ready to use now,
although "prconn" and "prconfig" are not finished due to changing
requirements (CIDR) and time constraints. For more information
Cooper [Page 27]
Internet Monthly Report May 1995
see: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/pride/tools/pride.tools.ps.tar.Z
Information about the routing registries was provided by the PRIDE
guide which gives information about how to register in a routing
database and how to use the information in the database. The
guide is available at: ftp.ripe.net/pride/docs/guide-1.0.ps.tar.Z.
Training was provided for internet service providers, which
focussed on the use of the tools and the Guide. The courses were
considered useful.
PRIDE's second guide was dependent upon RIPE-81++ developments.
There has been a large amount of effort put into the development
of RIPE-81++. As part of this coordination effort, the RIPE-181
document is now generally accepted as "de facto" Routing registry
standard. Many people are now using ripe-181 and the ripe
database software. Many other routing registry projects were
started in various places. The PRIDE project team tried to keep
close contact to these groups and to try to develop one standard.

- Changes in address assignment policies are not recommended.
- Reclamation of underutilized assigned addresses is not
currently recommended.
- Efforts to renumber significant portions of the Internet is
not currently recommended.
- Recommend consideration of assigning CIDR-type address blocks
out of unassigned Class A addresses.
IPng Area - Addressing Plan
- hotly discussed issue
- four basic views:
- 8 bytes is enough, more is inefficient
- 16 bytes is about right, 8 is not enough
- use 20 byte NSAPs, provide global
harmonization
- variable length gives best safety and efficiency
- many detailed arguments
- consensus is that expansion to 16 byte
address space is enough
IPng Area-Autoconfiguration
- Transparent address (plug & play)
- Security considerations
- Formation of an Address Autoconfiguration WG
(addrconf) to focus on the allocation of dynamic addresses
to IPng hosts.

short RFC)
TP4 over IPng (requires some real work, volunteer
needed)
IPng Reviewer
Appointment of an IPng reviewer specifically responsible for ensuring
that a consistent view of IPng is maintained across related WGs.
Needed since IPng related work will be going on in a number of IETF
areas.
Job is long term, offering broadest perspective. Must be able to
question, connect all the efforts, spot gaps and misunderstandings,
but not making architectural decisions.
