September 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 September 1998 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTERNET ARCHITECTURE BOARD IAB MESSAGE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 3 INTERNET ENGINEERING REPORTS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 3 Internet Projects INTERNIC. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 16 Network Solutions Report. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 15 US Domain Registry. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 16 MERIT INTERNET ENGINEERING. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 18 UCL . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 19 IANA REPORT . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 19 RFC EDITOR REPORT . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 20 CALENDAR OF EVENTS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 21 TERENA List of Meetings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 23 Ramos [Page 2] Internet Monthly Report September 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 September, 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.

Members of the Route Server Next Generation (www.rsng.net) team traveled to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to provide training and consulting for the Route Servers at the Emirates Telecom Corporation's new exchange point, dubbed ETISALAT. During the previous months, RSng had worked closely with the ETISALAT staff to design the exchange point and create a regional routing registry for the UAE. Abha Ahuja, Jake Khuon, and Tom Spindler configured the Route Servers at Merit's facilities and shipped them to Dubai; while on site, the Merit team completed the installation and worked with ETISALAT engineers to ensure the systems were running smoothly. Now that the RSs are in production, they are monitored and operated by the ETISALAT engineers themselves. Gerald Winters gave three presentations at the 31st RIPE meeting in Edinburgh, Scotland. At the plenary session, he gave a talk titled "Post-Routing Arbiter Activities at Merit." At the Routing Working Group, he presented talks on a proposed acceptable use policy for the Internet Routing Registry and deployment of the Routing Policy Specification Language in the RADB. Craig Labovitz gave a talk titled "Route Flap Analysis" at the ISMA Backbone Engineering Data and Analysis conference, sponsored by the Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA). Labovitz also attended ACM SIGCOMM '98. by Susan R. Harris <srh@merit.edu> Ramos [Page 18] Internet Monthly Report September 1998 UCL ---- We've been looking at providing protection to multicast data from re-multicast - there is a paper about one idea Watercasting: Discouraging Disclosure of Multicast Media This is a brief paper about a novel idea for providing some level of discouragement to deter recipients of a multicast stream from re-distributing it to further consumers. There is a relationship between the requirements for the scheme proposed here, and the requirements for reliable multicast protocols, and the need for mechanism to support layered delivery of streamed data. see ftp://cs.ucl.ac.uk/darpa/watercast.ps Meanwhile, we have also been working on alternate models for IP Multicast to the Internet Standard one devised by Steve Deering. This will be forthcoming in Internet Drafts for the next IETF, but the gist is to abandon the separation of intra and inter-domain multicast as a bad idea, and concentrate on scaling multicast through simple mechanisms. by John Crowcroft <j.crowcroft@CS.UCL.AC.UK> IANA REPORT ----------- Domain System Parameters 2 MIME Media Types 1 Multicast Addresses: Individual Assignments 13 PPP Numbers 1 Private Enterprise Numbers 72 Port Numbers 54 SMI Numbers 3 Telnet Options 7 by Josh Elliott <elliott@iana.org> Ramos [Page 19] Internet Monthly Report September 1998 RFC EDITOR REPORT ----------------- This is a summary of Request for Comments Editor activity for the month of September, 1998: TIME IN QUEUE DOCUMENTS New* 30 days 60 days 90 days TOTAL ------------------------------------------------------------------ | Beginning of 0 36 5 13 | 54 month | | New 22 0 0 0 | 22 | | Processed 6 11 4 4 | 25 ------------------------------------------------------------------ | End of month 16 25 1 9 | 51 * 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 20] Internet Monthly Report September 1998 CALENDAR -------- Last update 10/22/98 The information below has been submitted to the IETF Secretariat as a means of notifying readers of future events.
