October 1998 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". For example: To: rfc-info@ISI.EDU Subject: getting imrs help: ways_to_get_imrs or URL: http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/imr/ Ramos [Page 1] Internet Monthly Report October 1998 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTERNET ARCHITECTURE BOARD IAB MESSAGE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 3 INTERNET ENGINEERING REPORTS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 3 Internet Projects INTERNIC. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 14 Network Solutions Report. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 14 US Domain Registry. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 15 MERIT INTERNET ENGINEERING. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 17 UCL . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 18 IANA REPORT . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 18 RFC EDITOR REPORT . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 19 CALENDAR OF EVENTS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 20 TERENA List of Meetings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 22 Ramos [Page 2] Internet Monthly Report October 1998 INTERNET ARCHITECTURE BOARD The minutes of the IAB back to 1990 are available for anonymous ftp access on host ftp.isi.edu, directory /pub/IAB, or via the IAB World-Wide Web page with URL http://www.iab.org/iab/. Brian Carpenter IAB Chair INTERNET ENGINEERING REPORTS ---------------------------- Internet Monthly Report for October, 1998 1. The final meeting of the year will be held in Orlando, Florida from December 7-11, 1998. This meeting is being hosted by Microsoft. Registration is scheduled to begin the first part of October. 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.

(www.merit.edu). Merit is pleased to announce a limited beta release of IRRd Version 1.1. The new release offers full e-mail/PGP support for database submissions. If you would like to participate in the beta trials, contact us by sending e-mail to irrd-support@merit.edu. IRRd is a freely available, stand-alone Internet Routing Registry database server that supports both RIPE-181 and RPSL routing registry syntaxes. The code and documentation are available on the Merit Web pages: http://www.merit.edu/radb/irrd/ The Route Server Next Generation (RSng) team installed Route Servers at the Automotive Network eXchange (ANX) in Southfield, Michigan. The ANX, which is operated by the Automotive Industry Action Group, provides a secure IP network for trading partners throughout the automotive supply chain. RSng oversees all RS operations at ANX, including configuration generation for the ANX routers, 7/24 system monitoring, and monitoring of peering Ramos [Page 17] Internet Monthly Report October 1998 sessions. Other exchange points taking advantage of RSng services include AADS, the Digital Internet Exchange, the PacBell NAP, MAE- East, and MAE-West. by Susan R. Harris <srh@merit.edu> UCL ---- UCL Is putting togerther the program for IEEE/IFIP sponsored International Workshop on Quality of Service, to be held in London in Jun 1-4 1999. See http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/research/iwqos99/ for details, but there will be a 1 day workshop on Internet Pricing at the end of the 3 day paper sessions, which neatly dovetails with the ITC in Scotland the next week. by John Crowcroft <j.crowcroft@CS.UCL.AC.UK> IANA REPORT ----------- Address Resolution Protocol Parameters: 1 MIME Media Types 2 Multicast Addresses: Individual Assignments 11 Multicast Addresses: Blocks 2 Private Enterprise Numbers 91 Port Assignments 39 Protocol Numbers Assignments 1 Radius Types 1 SMI Numbers 1 Telnet Options 1 by Josh Elliott <elliott@iana.org> Ramos [Page 18] Internet Monthly Report October 1998 RFC EDITOR REPORT ----------------- This is a summary of Request for Comments Editor activity for the month of October, 1998: TIME IN QUEUE DOCUMENTS New* 30 days 60 days 90 days TOTAL ------------------------------------------------------------------ | Beginning of 0 16 25 10 | 51 month | | New 19 0 0 0 | 19 | | Processed 9 9 0 0 | 18 ------------------------------------------------------------------ | End of month 10 7 25 10 | 52 * New RFCs added to queue throughout the month The Requests for Comments (RFCs) are a series of notes, started in 1969, about the Internet (originally the ARPANET). 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. by Alegre Ramos <rfc-ed@rfc-editor.org> Ramos [Page 19] Internet Monthly Report October 1998 CALENDAR -------- Last update 11/30/98 The information below has been submitted to the IETF Secretariat as a means of notifying readers of future events.
