September 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". For example: To: rfc-info@ISI.EDU Subject: getting imrs help: ways_to_get_imrs or URL: http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/imr/ IMR Editor [Page 1] Internet Monthly Report September 1996 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTERNET ARCHITECTURE BOARD IAB MESSAGE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 3 INTERNET ENGINEERING REPORTS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 3 Internet Projects INTERNIC. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 12 Registration Services . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 12 Directory Services. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 13 US Domain Registry. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 14 MERIT INTERNET ENGINEERING. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 18 UCL . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 20 CALENDAR OF EVENTS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 21 TERENA List of Meetings. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 25 IMR Editor [Page 2] Internet Monthly Report September 1996 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 ---------------------------- IETF Monthly Report for September, 1996 1. The IETF returns to San Jose, California on December 9-13, 1996. Our local host will be cisco Systems. The Secretariat will begin accepting registrations the first part of October. The IETF opens 1997 in Memphis, Tennessee where Federal Express will be the host. This meeting will be held April 7-11, 1997. Following Memphis, the IETF is we returning to Europe and will met in Munich, Germany August 11-15, 1997, hosted by Digi/ISOC.DE. The Secretariat is still working on the final meeting of 1997. Once all the arrangements have been made, notifications will be sent to the IETF Announcement list.

Significant Events * HostReg and CReg templates are now being processed automatically; previously they had to be processed manually; now about 50% are being processed automatically. * The auto-registration software now sorts requests into six groups: (1) COM, (2) ORG, (3) NET, (4) GOV, (5) EDU and (6) TLD; this eliminates a manual step in the process and allows the ability to put an increased priority on GOV, EDU and TLD requests. * Plans to initiate a night shift are under development to assist in reducing the manual processing backlog. * Informal training was provided for Billing CSRs regarding how to register as a contact. * Selection and training of a second shift for processing support was completed; a full day training class was held on Saturday, September 10th; final staffing arrangements were completed for a night shift with a start date of September 30th. * A "SWAT Team" of existing staff was used to reduce the backlog. * Fax processing has become an overwhelming problem, requiring over four full-time equivalent employees. * Duane Stone and Carley Johnson represented the InterNIC DomReg Section at Network World Interop. * Testing of a share-ware Fax Server solution is going very well; it would make faxes available as e-mail; the fax viewer works very well on Sparc 5s and also supports sending faxes out; the MTS and Ack/Nak interfaces still need to be completed. IMR Editor [Page 12] Internet Monthly Report September 1996 * DomReg software enhancements have reduced the number of requests that need to be processed manually from about 1,000 to 700 (30% improvement). * A method for gathering performance measurements was finalized and documented.

It currently gathers from our directory of directories pages, and offers search capabilities beyond those available using WAIS. It also gives us the ability to index web pages. We expect to index additional resources from inside and outside the InterNIC over time. To try out this system, look at: http://ds.internic.net/Harvest/brokers/dod/query.html To track new features on our servers, visit our "New Stuff" page: http://ds.internic.net/new/newstuff.html This page is updated regularly. IMR Editor [Page 13] Internet Monthly Report September 1996 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 by Rick Huber <rvh@ds.internic.net> THE US DOMAIN REGISTRY ---------------------- The US Domain now has an online line registration form. Some of the processing of the requests to the third level domain name 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. 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). About the special domains under the state codes. The K12, CC, TEC, LIB, STATE, DST, COG and GEN domain under each state are established for special purposes (see RFC 1480). IMR Editor [Page 14] Internet Monthly Report September 1996 In addition to the constaint to use them only for the defined purpose, each of these special domains is also to delegated only to a manager within the state, and the operation of the delegated registry should be non-profit. The LIB domain should be managed by a govermental or educational library organization. Further, it is most appropriate for the K12, CC, and TEC, domains to be managed by an educational organization (for example, a university or a department of education). The STATE domain is most appropriately managed by an agency of the state government. DST and COG should be managed by a goverment agency. The GEN domain may be delegated to any organization that will provide the registration service for free (and remember the purpose of the GEN domain is to register statewide non-profit organizations). 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".

In addition, and not listed below, another 398 localities have been delegated in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Michigan , Mississippi, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Virginia, Vermont, this month.

The National Science Foundation has announced a new direction for the Routing Arbiter project, which was charged by NSF in 1994 with the task of providing routing coordination in the post-NSFNET environment. The announcement, which followed the 24-month review of the Routing Arbiter and the four Network Access Point projects, noted that all these projects had completed their basic missions ahead of schedule. The RA project is a partnership between Merit and the University of Southern California Information Sciences Institute. George Strawn, networking division director at the NSF, commended the Routing Arbiter for its performance during the past two years, and noted that the Routing Arbiter and the NAPs "have IMR Editor [Page 18] Internet Monthly Report September 1996 now proven that multiple network providers can work together in a competitive marketplace, and so can be scheduled for transition to commercial operations themselves." NSFNET program director Mark Luker said that researchers from the RA and the NAPs will now focus on connections and routing for advanced networking, and noted that "both actions help NSF to move to the next stage, a stronger focus on the high-performance Internet of the future needed to support today's advanced research." Merit is working with NSF to define its refocused activities for the RA project. Elise Gerich, Associate Director of Merit for National Networking, resigned her position to take a job in private industry. Elise joined Merit in 1987 in support of the NSFNET Backbone Service project, and focused on technical interfaces and policy interactions between the regional networks, sister Federal agencies, and international network research organizations. She was named Manager of the Internet Engineering group in 1994, was promoted to Associate Director in July 1995, and was also a Co- Principal Investigator for the Routing Arbiter project. Elise was instrumental in providing a smooth transition for the regional networks to the new NSFNET architecture. We wish her continued success in her new position! Merit invites applications for both the Associate Director and Manager of Internet Engineering positions; for further information, contact Merit President Eric Aupperle (313/764-9430, ema@merit.edu). Last month's report described a new incremental update client implemented for the Routing Arbiter Database by Jerry Winters. At that writing, the client was polling the RIPE registry's mirroring site every 30 minutes for database updates; previously, updates had only been provided once each day. The new client is now polling the RIPE site every 15 minutes; eventually, Merit expects that polls will occur every five minutes. A new tool known as IPN, Inter-Provider Notification, is now available on the RA Web pages: http://compute.merit.edu/ipn.html IMR Editor [Page 19] Internet Monthly Report September 1996 IPN is a public bulletin board that Internet Service Providers and NAP operators can use to announce scheduled maintenance and ongoing network outages. IPN participants include major Internet Service Providers who BGP-peer at one or more of the primary exchange points. We encourage providers to participate in testing and developing the new tool; improved coordination and cooperation among providers will lead to a better-managed and more stable Internet. To join the IPN, send e-mail to: outage@ra.net Brian Renaud attended the 25th RIPE meeting in Amsterdam, where he participated in sessions of the Routing and Database Working Groups. Susan R. Harris (srh@merit.edu) UCL ---- Finally, the effort on the Merci project has paid off, with help from HP and LBL, and the audio, text and (LBNL) video tools rat, nte and vic all work on the various Microsoft Windows platforms.
