April 1997 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".

Brian Carpenter IAB Chair INTERNET ENGINEERING REPORTS ---------------------------- Internet Monthly Report for April 1. The IETF returns to Europe for the summer meeting in Munich, Germany from August 11-15, 1997. Our hosts for this meeting will be Digi/ISOC.DE. The final meeting of the year will be held in the D.C. area, hosted by Newbridge. 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. The following IESG minutes have been added: March 20, 1997 (iesg.97-03-20) 3.

The primary server was out of service for most of the day, but both backups were available. The Netfind Seed Database for April contains about 1.3 million entries. Growth was somewhat less than normal since we changed the database generation process to improve the accuracy of the database. We continue to generate the database from data maintained by the registries, but we also check to see if the domain name defined by the record actually exists in DNS. Since this check requires a large number of DNS lookups, we do not check every entry every month. We do a different part of the database each month. IMR Editor [Page 12] Internet Monthly Report April 1997 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 registration form is now available online at http://www.isi.edu/us-domain. The US Domain has the maps of all the delegated special domains online at http://www.isi.edu/us-domain. 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). 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 of that locality. A new policy has been added regarding the charges for the domain name passed on during delegation. The administrator of the locality has to notify one year in advance before charging for those domains.

Two new mailing lists have been created by the Route Server Next Generation project. Both lists were established in response to a discussion at the February 1997 Route Server BOF, held at the San Francisco NANOG. The first list, RS-discuss@merit.edu, provides a forum for discussing Route Server technology, pros and cons of the service, issues with the existing service, and suggestions for improvement. Abha Ahuja, Brad Robertson, Bill Norton, and Jake Khuon of the RSng staff hope that the list will stimulate broad discussion in the Internet community, addressing not only specific RSng issues, but also issues related to the use of Route Servers worldwide. The second list, RS-announce@merit.edu, will be used for announcements of Route Server maintenance and outages. We recommend that all organizations peering with the Route Servers at the exchange points subscribe to this list. To subscribe to the new lists, send a message to majordomo@merit.edu with the following in the body of the message: subscribe rs-discuss or: subscribe rs-announce For more information about the Route Server Next Generation project, see: http://www.rsng.net Merit staff members Sue Hares, Bill Norton, Craig Labovitz, Jerry Winters, and Jake Khuon attended the 38th IETF in Memphis during the week of December 9. Hares, who has been proposed as Chair of the Internet Research Task Force's Routing Research Group, chaired the Inter-Domain Routing Working Group meeting. Labovitz demonstrated the NetNow and ASExplorer tools to ISPs and other researchers. IETF was also the site of an informal Merit GateD Consortium meeting led by Hares. IMR Editor [Page 16] Internet Monthly Report April 1997 Merit's Routing Arbiter Database support staff is playing an integral role in implementing the next-generation Routing Policy Specification Language (RPSL), which will replace RIPE-181 (RFC 1786) as the language used to express routing policy in the RADB and other Internet Routing Registry databases. The new language is being developed by the IETF Routing Policy System Working Group, which is chaired by Cengiz Alaettinoglu of the USC Information Sciences Institute and Daniel Karrenberg of the RIPE Network Coordination Centre. RPSL offers many powerful new capabilities, most notably the ability to express routing policy much more precisely than in RIPE-181. Craig Labovitz' paper, "Internet Routing Instability," has been accepted to SIGCOMM '97. Co-authored with student Robert Malan and Professor Farnam Jahanian of the University of Michigan Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, the paper examines the BGP updates exchanged between ISP border routers at the MAE- East, AADS, Sprint, and PacBell NAPs, and at MAE-West. The authors describe several unexpected trends in routing instability, and examine a number of anomalies and pathologies observed in the exchange of inter-domain routing information. The researchers then show that the volume of these routing updates is several orders of magnitude more than expected and that the majority of this routing information is redundant, or pathological. Furthermore, the analysis reveals several unexpected trends and ill-behaved systematic properties in Internet routing. Several explanations for these anomalies are put forth and evaluated with regard to their potential impact on the Internet infrastructure. The National Science Foundation funded much of Labovitz' research as part of Merit's Routing Arbiter project, a partnership with the USC Information Sciences Institute. Susan R. Harris (srh@merit.edu) UCL ---- Our CAIRN Link is now operational. A number of IETF WGs were attended in Memphis, as well as LSMA and IDMR being co-chaired. We presented at others, and wrote up the minutes for the new IRTF Reserarch Group on Reliable Multicast.

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.
