RESOURCE DISCOVERY AND DIRECTORY SERVICE
----------------------------------------
The Internet Research Task Force on Resource Discovery is
continuing its experimental efforts with the Harvest system
(http://harvest.cs.colorado.edu/). We are moving Harvest
increasingly towards an interoperation architecture for network
search systems, by working with commercial search & retrieval
engine vendors to (a) integrate their engines, and (b) define
promising future research problems related to this integration
effort. We are also working on support for distributed
searching, repluggable object storage managers, local post-
processing of query results, and deployment of an experimental
national caching infrastructure.

REGISTRATION SERVICES
I. Significant Events
InterNIC Registration Services assigned over 6,914 network
addresses and registered over 12,190 domains. There were four (4)
top-level country domains registered during June: Madagascar (MG),
Cooper [Page 12]
Internet Monthly Report July 1995
Kyrgyzstan (KG), Tanzania (TZ), and Samoa (WS).
The suit that Knowledgenet has filed against Network Solutions and
David L. Boone over the knowledgenet.com domain has been dismissed.
David Boone has agreed to relinquish the domain name to
Knowledgenet, Inc.
During the month of July, domain requests are averaging between
700- 800+ 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
July 1995, the domain processing queue had again increased from
6,000 to 15,000+ new domain registrations.
Mark Kosters, Debbie Fuller and Dave Graves attended the Quarterly
Review of InterNIC Registration Services (Network Solutions) and
Directory Services (AT&T) at the National Science Foundation in
Arlington, VA. Susan Calcari who has relocated to the University
of Wisconsin and resumed the weekly production and distribution of
the Scout Report also presented.
Mark Kosters, Stan Borinski and Kim Hubbard attended the IETF
meeting in Stockholm July 16-21, 1995. They presented the
RFC1466BIS draft. Parts of the draft were accepted. Additional
work is required for portability of address space and assignment
criteria.
The computer equipment which was ordered for the Info Scout and the
Assistant Scout has been delivered. Susan Calcari assisted NSI in
the NIC Liaison recruitment process in which a candidate has been
selected and will start working soon at NSI.
II. Current Status
During the month of July 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 27,278 (hostmaster@internic.net)
Postal/Fax 277 (primarily IP number requests)
Phone 4,959
The Registrations Services host computer supported a large volume
of information retrieval requests during the month of June.

Software Engineer InterNIC Registration Services
INTERNIC DIRECTORY AND DATABASE SERVICES
We made a number of improvements to our Web services during July.
We have supported Web access to the X.500 directory for some time,
but we recently improved the interface. The former system used a
Gopher to X.500 gateway to support Web access. It has been
replaced with a direct Web to X.500 gateway. The Gopher to X.500
interface remains available for Gopher users.
We have also installed a Web based form to allow users to enter
information about a resource they feel should be included in our
Directory of Directories. A resource owner may also use the form
to tell us about their resource.
Take a look at our Web pages starting at:
http://ds.internic.net
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:

This report summarizes recent activities of Merit's Internet
Engineering group on behalf of the Routing Arbiter (RA) Project.
ROUTING ARBITER SERVICES
Routing Arbiter services are now fully operational at the Sprint
NAP. Located in Pennsauken NJ, the facility comprises an FDDI LAN
that supports both shared and dedicated bandwidth with DEC
GIGASwitch-based crossbar switching. The RA Web pages provide
information for providers who are interested in establishing a
peering session with the Sprint Route Server:
http://www.ra.net/routing.arbiter/RA/.how.to.peer.html
The status of BGP peering sessions at all the connection points is
shown in the following table:

Brian Renaud is working with staff at CA*net to coordinate the task
of identifying--and deleting--RADB references to routes belonging
to the CA Autonomous System. This effort is one of several ongoing
projects that will help eliminate duplicate registrations in the
Internet Routing Registry.
CISCO QUERY TOOL
Internet Routing Registry (IRR) users have long recognized the need
for tools that check the IRR against routes actually propagated in
the Internet. A tool is now available from Merit that obtains and
analyzes routing information from production Ciscos, and compares
the data with routes in the Routing Arbiter Database and other
registries in the IRR. Called CiscoBGP, the software also flags
prefixes that are reserved by RFC1597. An alpha version is
available from:
ftp://ftp.ra.net/routing.arbiter/RADB/tools/cisco.01.tar.Z
Two scripts are provided with CiscoBGP. Cisco_fetch takes the
Cisco's IP address and password as input, automatically sets up a
telnet session to the router, issues a 'show ip bgp' command, and
dumps the BGP routing tables to a file on the local workstation.
Usage is as follows:
cisco_fetch hostname password enable_password
The cisco_check script then processes the 'show ip bgp' output and
lists prefixes with AS origins different than those registered in
the IRR. Usage is as follows:
cisco_check inputfile

If the origin AS differs from the origin registered in the
RADB/IRR, the correct origin is given in brackets. '?????'
indicates that the route object for a given prefix is not
registered in the IRR.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
Jessica Yu attended an AADS NAP peering meeting this month. Among
the topics discussed were transit agreements among NAP customers
and the status of the NAP's Multi-Lateral Peering Agreement (MLPA),
which was developed jointly by Yu and the AADS NAP staff.
Brian Renaud, Craig Labovitz, Sue Hares, and Elise Gerich attended
the 33rd IETF in Stockholm during the week of July 17. Labovitz
collaborated with Cengiz Alaettinoglu in presenting the "Routing
Policy Specification Language Dictionary" at the Routing Policy
System (RPS) Working Group meetings. At the IEPG meeting, Gerich
gave a presentation on issues relating to the reliability of data
in the RADB, and discussed the actions Merit plans to take in order
to ensure consistency of data in the RADB with other registries in
the Internet Routing Registry.

Mark Handley attended the Stockholm IETF, and co-chaired the MMUSIC
WG with Ruth Lang and Eve Schooler, as well as attending numerous
other WGs including int-serv and rsvp. We also helped coordinate
the use of the Pan-European PNO ATM Network (PNO = Public Network
Operator, which is a newer term for telco or PTT. ATM=Asynchronous
Transfer Mode, which is a new term for X.25:-)
Tony Ballardie helped run a useful IDMR WG session.
The Terena working group on IP and the MICE project coordinated the
use of the 34Mbps cross connected ATM trial to carry the mbone to
many countries around Europe. There were somne outages (and due to
best effort only support for the switch infrastructure, MTTR was a
little high) but the access to higher bandwidth meant that many
more people were able to join in and actually appreciate the
technology, and the value of the IETF.
Various US collaborators in the areas of resource reservation and
multicast passed through UCL o ntheir way back home. Some work on
policy based multicast routing may be forthcoming.
