December 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".

Brian Carpenter IAB Chair INTERNET ENGINEERING REPORTS ---------------------------- IETF Monthly Report for December, 1996 1. The IETF meeting, hosted by cicso Systems, met in San Jose, California on December 9-13, 1996. As has been noted, it was the largest IETF meeting to date with just under 2000 registered attendees. 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 (probably located in Washington, DC). Once all the arrangements have been made, notifications will be sent to the IETF Announcement list. Remember that information on future IETF meetings can be always be found in the file 0mtg-sites.txt which is located on the IETF shadow directories. This information can also be viewed from the IETF Home Page on the Web. The URL is: http://www.ietf.org 2. The minutes of the IESG teleconferences have been publicly available on the IETF Shadow directories since 1991. These files are placed in the /ftp/iesg directory. The following IESG minutes have been added: November 21, 1996 (iesg.96-11-21) 3. The IESG approved or recommended the following three Protocol Actions during the month of December, 1996: o Protocol Independent Multicast-Sparse Mode (PIM-SM): Protocol Specification be published as an Experimental Protocol.

The database continues to expand at a rapid rate (the November version had just over 760,000 entries). This version of the seed database is in the new format, and we will continue to provide updates in the new format, which requires Netfind source code version 5.0.2. There is a copy of the old format of the October/November seed database available on our site, but we will no longer update the old format. Sites running Netfind servers should check http://ds.internic.net/wp/netfind-seeddb.html for information on the new seed database and the new version of Netfind that supports it. Kennedy [Page 9] Internet Monthly Report December 1996 The MBONE recordings of the December IETF meeting (in San Jose) are available on our site. These recording are in raw RTP format. We are converting these recordings to RealAudio(TM) format, which can be more easily accessed through the web. The converted recordings should be available soon. 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 has an online line registration form (see "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 for the third level domain names is now automated. In particular, most requests to register names in localities already delegated are automatically forwarded to the administrator for that locality. Kennedy [Page 10] Internet Monthly Report December 1996 US DOMAIN ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION ------------------------------------ Transactions this month: EMAIL/FAX 2875 PHONE 450 ---------------------------- Total Contacts 3325 DELEGATIONS 937 FORWARDED REQUESTS: 1000 OTHER US DOMAIN MSGS: 1388 --------------------------- Total 3325 OTHER US DOMAIN MESSAGES include referrals to other subdomains or to/from the InterNic, phone calls, modifications, application requests, discussion and clarification of the requests, questions about names, resolving technical problems with zone files and name servers, and whois listings. The RWhois database has the records of 6150 domain names. MAJOR SUBDOMAINS DELEGATED K12 CC TEC STATE LIB MUS GEN DST COG =================================================================== 51 38 34 47 39 25 25 9 5 =================================================================== The K12, CC, TEC, LIB, STATE, DST, COG and GEN domain under each state are established for special purposes (see RFC 1480). 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). Kennedy [Page 11] Internet Monthly Report December 1996 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). ----------------------- THIRD LEVEL DELEGATIONS ----------------------- There was no new special domain delegations. LOCALITIES ========== Not listed specifically, 902 localities have been delegated in Arizona, Alabama, Arkansas, California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Florida, Georgia, Hawii, Idaho, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Michigan, Maine, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Virginia, Vermont, Texas, Tennessee, Washington and Wyoming this month.

Merit is pleased to announce "Route Server Next Generation" (RSNG), a new service supported by exchange point operators nationwide. The project provides for continued operation of the Route Servers, which were developed by Merit and the University of California Information Sciences Institute as part of the NSF-funded Routing Arbiter project. The Route Servers take over the task of processing routing updates for ISP routers, eliminating the need to establish separate peering sessions with other routers at each exchange point. The Route Servers thus provide a boost in throughput for ISP routers and allow faster delivery of customers' data through the Internet. For more information about RSNG, see: http://www.merit.edu/~rsng Route Server operations at the Network Access Points were supported by the National Science Foundation until January 1, 1997. NSF made the decision to commercialize Route Server and Network Access Point operations following the 24-month review of the Routing Arbiter and the four NAP projects in July 1996. NSF noted that all these projects had completed their basic missions ahead of schedule, and Kennedy [Page 13] Internet Monthly Report December 1996 stated that the Routing Arbiter and the NAPs "have now proven that multiple network providers can work together in a competitive marketplace, and so can be scheduled for transition to commercial operations themselves." Routing Arbiter Database support and development continue to be supported by NSF, along with several routing engineering and statistical research projects. Last month's report described development work on Trawhoisd, a distributed version of the RADB whois server that supports data caching by FTP and by mirroring. We neglected to note that the database mirroring mechanism was developed by David Kessens of the RIPE NCC. We apologize for the omission. Merit staff members Sue Hares, Bill Norton, Craig Labovitz, Jerry Winters, and Jake Khuon attended the 37th IETF in San Jose during the week of December 9. Norton gave a talk at the afternoon plenary session about Merit's Route Server Next Generation project. Winters discussed Trawhoisd at a Routing Policy System Working Group meeting, and Labovitz gave a presentation titled "Internet Routing Stability Analysis" at the IEPG meeting preceding IETF. IETF was also the site of a Merit GateD Consortium meeting. The next release of GateD, expected in early 1996, will incorporate support for route dampening, the BGP Multi Exit Discriminator (MED), and the BGP Destination Preference Attribute (DPA). Future releases will provide support for multicast routing, incorporate several OSPF enhancements, and support the CMU-SNMP agent and SNMP ISODE Smux interfaces. For more information about the GateD Consortium, see: http://www.gated.org Susan R. Harris (srh@merit.edu) UCL ---- Ballardie, Crowcroft, Kirstein and Perkins attended the San Jose IETF, and participated in rsvp, qos routeing and mmusic WGs. Crowcroft co-chaired the new WG on Large Scale Multicast, and Ballardie co-chaired the IDMR working group. Plans on CAIRN connectivity for UCL have now just about reached closure.
