INTERNET ENGINEERING REPORTS
----------------------------
1. The next IETF will be meeting in Los Angeles, California from
March 4-8, 1996. There will not be a local host for this
meeting, but the terminal room facilities will be provided by
Interop. Following Los Angeles, the IETF will be meeting in
Montreal, Quebec, Canada from June 24-28, 1996. If this date
looks familiar, it is the same date as INET '96! This is not a
"joint" meeting, but both will be held in the Montreal
Convention Center. Closing out the year, the IETF will be
returning to San Jose, California on December 9-13, 1996. The
first meeting of 1997 will be held in Memphis, Tennessee April
7-11, 1997.
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.cnri.reston.va.us
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 9, 1995 (iesg.95-11-09)
3. The IESG approved or recommended the following 16 Protocol

INTERNET PROJECTS

INTERNIC

REGISTRATION SERVICES
I. Significant Events
During December 1995, InterNIC Registration Services assigned the
following network addresses, and registered domain names to include
top-level country domains:
Assigned Registered Country Domain(s)
Network Addresses 6,015
Domain Names Registered 24,423
Top-level Country Domain(s) 2 GI - Gibraltar
TO - Tonga
The IP Allocation Internet Draft document is being reformatted.
The billing backlog for new domain registrations has been
eliminated.
The addition of a new printer, an electronic folder and clearer
definition of the process flow has significantly reduced the time
required for mailing our invoices. What used to take 1 day now
takes about 2 hours.
For the Receivables Section four new computers were received. They
will be set up and in use by Jan. 10, 1996. These machines will
enable us to eliminate all backlog in the department and answer
customer's inquiries more efficiently.
The decision was made to hire an entry level administrative
assistant for the Receivables Section. The interviewing process
should occur within a month.
Due to the continued internet growth and increased phone calls to
the InterNIC Registration Services Help Desk, the current telephone
system is being evaluated to ensure quality customer service.
Kim Hubbard, Mark Kosters, and Jasdip Singh attended the IETF
conference in Dallas.
During December, new domain requests continued to range between
Cooper [Page 11]
Internet Monthly Report December 1995
1,000 and 1,500 per day. Updates ranged from 300 to 500 a day.
Both new and update requests dropped to about half these values
during Christmas week. Applications that do not need human review
are processed within a day. Approximately 50% are handled in this
manner. The remaining applications and questions enter a queue for
resolution by one of the processing staff. This queue is currently
a week and a half long.
II. Current Status
During the month of December 1995, InterNIC Registration Services
received communications as shown below. The majority of the
correspondence concerned domain billing. Other correspondence
includes the assignment and re-assignment of network numbers and
the registration or change of domain names.
E-mail 89,673 (hostmaster@internic.net)
Postal/Fax 467 (primarily IP number requests)
Phone 12,928
The Registration Services host computer supported the following
information retrieval requests during the month of December:
Connections Retrievals
Gopher 32,268 64,671
WAIS 79,679 46,918
FTP 51,958 139,670
Mailserv 3,744
Telnet 75,999

THE US DOMAIN REGISTRY
======================
The US Domain is only registering domain names providing two
nameservers. We will no longer register direct registrations in the
form of non-IP hosts, (i.e, UUCP connections requiring MX records),
or IP hosts requiring A records). The only A record we will add to
our zone file is a glue record for a delegation.
Please contact a local service provider to provide your primary and
or secondary name service.
For further information about the US Domain, send a message to:
US-DOMAIN@ISI.EDU, or see our WEB page:
http://www.isi.edu/us-domain
US DOMAIN ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION
------------------------------------
EMAIL/FAX 965
PHONE 400
----------------------------
Total Contacts 1365
DELEGATIONS 100
FORWARDED DELEGATIONS: 172
OTHER US DOMAIN MSGS: 1093
---------------------------
Total 1365
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.

Internet Monthly Report December 1995
MERIT INTERNET ENGINEERING
--------------------------
Reports from November 1995 and December 1995.
NOVEMBER 1995
This report summarizes recent activities of Merit's Internet
Engineering group on behalf of the Routing Arbiter (RA) service and
other projects.
Routing Arbiter services are now fully in production at the PacBell
Network Access Point, as well as at the Sprint, AADS, and
Washington, D.C. (MAE-East) NAPs. Two Route Servers are installed
at each NAP to provide redundancy, and are reconfigured every four
hours with data from the Internet Routing Registry (IRR).
The Routing Arbiter will proceed with deployment of services at the
MAE- West interconnection point, with support from the NASA Ames
Research Center.
Several new Internet Service Providers are depending on the Route
Servers for routes received at the Washington, D.C. NAP. ESnet and
Delphi now prefer the Route Server for each other's routes at the
NAP, as do Delphi and PIPEX. Other new peering sessions with the
Route Servers were established in November by IOS at the
Washington, D.C. and Sprint NAPs, and by AlterNet at the Sprint
NAP. A complete list of BGP peering sessions is available from:
http://www.ra.net/~ra/statistics/bgp.peers
Information about the size and content of the Internet routing
table is now available on the Merit Web pages:
http://www.ra.net/~ra/statistics/routes.html
These interactive reports are calculated using data obtained via
BGP peering sessions with the Route Servers at each Network Access
Point. Three types of reports are available for the NAP you
specify:
> Maximum number of announced routes, by date and number of routes, in
the Route Server's routing tables.
> Complete listing of the Internet routing table by prefix and
associated AS path, as seen by the NAP's Route Servers.
> Number of routes, by Route Server peer and origin AS, as seen by the
Cooper [Page 16]
Internet Monthly Report December 1995
Route Servers at each NAP.
Note that the reports only include information from Internet
Service Providers that peer with the NSF Route Servers. For
example, one of the largest providers, internetMCI, maintains a
peering session with the Routing Arbiter at the Washington, D.C.
NAP (MAE-East) and exports only one route to the RA.
You can now generate NAP route flap reports by RS peer as well as
by AS origin, prefix, and specific AS:
http://www.ra.net/~ra/statistics/flap.html
Another new Web form provides critical information about route
duplication and CIDR aggregation in the Internet Routing Registry.
The report details, for each AS you specify:
> Which, if any, duplicate routes exist in Internet Routing Registry
databases
> Which, if any, covering (less specific) routes exist in the RADB or
other registries
You can use the "Display" menu to select whether you want to see
all routes, only routes which are duplicated or covered, or only
routes which are not duplicated or covered. Use the "Formatted as"
menu to determine whether the listing is rendered as an HTML3 table
or as ordinary text.
The new tool is available from:
http://www.ra.net/~ra/RADB.tools.docs/reports.html
Sue Hares, Steve Richardson, Jeff Jackson, and Craig Labovitz have
completed work on a joint government/industry IDRP project funded
by the Federal Aviation Administration and managed by the MITRE
Corporation. The new software just released by Merit, Version 2.0
of IDRP in GateD, has been integrated with an Aeronautical
Telecommunications Network router that will be used to control the
flow of routing information between ground stations and airplanes.
The new release supports advanced policy descriptions and
implements a mobile Boundary Information System in IDRP.
Elise Gerich attended an Internet naming and addressing workshop
sponsored by NSF and hosted by Harvard University. Discussions
focused on the administration and management of top-level domains
such as .com, Group meeting this month to address the future of the
FIXes.

Internet Monthly Report December 1995
DECEMBER 1995
This report summarizes recent activities of Merit's Internet
Engineering group on behalf of the Routing Arbiter (RA) service and
other projects.
New ISPs continue to set up peering sessions with Route Servers at
the U.S. interconnection points. Peers added recently include
NAP.NET, Net Access, the Defense Research Engineering Network, and
Aimnet. A complete list of BGP peering sessions is available from:
http://www.ra.net/~ra/statistics/bgp.peers
Based on feedback from ISPs who are using the RA services, the
Routing Arbiter team is investigating ways in which global policy
information can be maintained with the Route Servers implementing
only a subset of the policy.
Several new statistical reports for the NAP Route Servers are
available on the RA Web pages. The BGP peering report now shows
the number of times a particular BGP peering session went idle, as
well as the number of BGP updates received from each peer. A new
CPU usage report lists the daily average and minimum percentage of
idle CPU for each Route Server. The reports are available from:
http://www.ra.net/~ra/statistics/rs.html
New tools under development at Merit include:
> ASExplorer, which explores the real-time AS routing topology of the
Internet
> MPath, a multi-threaded, caching version of the RIPE prpath tool.
MPath uses IRR data to calculate all possible routing domain paths
between a source and destination AS.
ASExplorer and MPath are available from:
http://www.ra.net/~ra/tools
Merit staff members Brian Renaud, Craig Labovitz, Sue Hares, Susan
Harris, Jake Khuon, Laurent Joncheray, Dun Liu, and Elise Gerich
attended the 34th IETF in Dallas during the week of December 4.
Joncheray collaborated with ANS's Jessica Yu on an Internet Routing
Registry presentation for the Routing Policy System (RPS) Working
Group. Gerich participated in several meetings of the Internet
Architecture Board.
Cooper [Page 18]
Internet Monthly Report December 1995
IETF was also the site of the first meeting of the Merit GateD
Consortium, an industry/academic partnership that furthers
development and deployment of the widely used internetworking
software. The meeting was attended by major router vendors,
research groups, and workstation vendors, including IBM, Hitachi,
NetEdge, Ipsilon, and HP. Sue Hares, technical leader of the
Consortium, announced that Merit's future plans for GateD focus on
stability and commercial grade quality for the software. Merit has
already developed a new, interactive interface to GateD that can be
used to query internal variables such as memory usage and routing
table contents. Merit also plans to provide many special benefits
to Consortium members, including new test tools and early access to
new code.
GateD was originally developed at Cornell University. In September
1995, Cornell selected Merit to take over the Consortium based on
Merit's expertise in routing and routing protocol development.
Further information about the consortium is available from the
GateD Web pages:
