THE WORKS OF D A N T E research community.
No.10, July 1995 Editor: Josefien Bersee
__________________________________________________________________
EUROPANET TRANSITION
The issue currently highest on DANTE's agenda is the transition
process to the new EuropaNET backbone network. In October 1995 a new
contract with British Telecom for the operation of the European
backbone will come into force. The huge project of migration to the
new service involves many partners and DANTE is working very hard to
coordinate all activities to ensure a smooth transition. According to
current plans, the routers necessary for the service will be
delivered in mid-July and most of the necessary circuits will be
available at the end of July. Acceptance testing and migration of the
national networks to the new service will take place during
September. One of the issues that are currently under discussion is
the possible integration into BT's service of a high speed link to
the US.
EUROPANET UPGRADES
As a result of the ever increasing traffic load on EuropaNET two more
customers (UKERNA and NORDUnet) have upgraded their connection
capacity to 4 Mbps. During 1995 traffic on the EuropaNET
backbone has seen a 30% growth already. Under the current contract
the national networks have the obligation to increase the capacity of
their connection as soon as the traffic load reaches a certain level.
This is one of the ways a high quality of service on the network can
be guaranteed to all customers. From 1 October 1995, this contractual
obligation will no longer be in effect but DANTE will still rely on
individual national networks to upgrade their access capacity as
necessary in order to maintain an acceptable level of service for
their end users.
Cooper [Page 12]
Internet Monthly Report June 1995
A complication is now presenting itself in the fact that the original
EMPB infrastructure (and contract) was based on 2 Mbps line and
switching equipment. As a result an upgrade to 4 Mbps may show less
of a quality of service improvement than expected. This will only be
a very temporary problem, as the next contract offers connectivity to
customer networks up to a speed of 8 Mbps.
TEN-34 CONSORTIUM
DANTE is continuing its efforts to finalise the TEN-34 proposal on
behalf of the TEN-34 Consortium. The Consortium consists of national
networks from 18 European countries and telecommunications operators
which have submitted an implementation proposal to the European
Commission for the linking up of high-speed national research
networks at 34-155 Mbps. DANTE has been asked by the Commission to
discuss the proposal with the initiators of JAMES, a PNO-driven
proposal, which builds on the work done in the European PNO ATM
pilot. DANTE is currently looking at ways to collaborate with the PNO
Consortium in relation to the second element of the TEN-34 proposal
which specifies the setting up of an international ATM test network.
The immediate establishment of a 34 Mbps IP backbone remains a high
priority and is being addressed separately.
THE PHARE PROJECT
DANTE recently completed an international connectivity plan for the
PHARE region as part of the PHARE 1994 R&D networking contract. As
expected, a range of solutions is needed to build a solid base for
future networking activity in this region. As a result each country
is being treated to a greater or lesser degree separately from all
other beneficiaries. The connectivity plan focuses on finding a
solution for each country which is cost effective on the one hand but
which provides access to the high capacity and performance networking
capabilities provided by existing R&D networks on the other.
DANTE is concerned that progress during the first six month period of
the contract has been relatively limited due to delays in resolving
administrative issues in relation to the Management Contract and the
resulting interruption in the flow of funds from the EC. The members
of the R&D community in the PHARE countries have expressed their
concern that a manageable transition from the PHARE/COSINE Programme
(1991-1994) to meet the needs for R&D networking in 1995 has not been
taken on urgently enough. As a result, some local initiatives have
changed the networking status from the situation which existed in
early 1994 when the Programme was approved. Due to these changes and
to the increase in networking activity in both Western and Eastern
Europe in 1994/5 some of the aims of the PHARE R&D Networking
Programme have already been overtaken by events. The planned change
Cooper [Page 13]
Internet Monthly Report June 1995
of infrastructure supplier for EuropaNET from 1 October 1995 adds an
extra layer of complication. Effort so far has been concentrated on
preparatory work in the PHARE countries, the fruition of which DANTE
expects to become more evident during the next six months.

Internet Monthly Report June 1995
INTERNIC
--------
REGISTRATION SERVICES
I. Significant Events
InterNIC Registration Services assigned over 5,931 network addresses
and registered over 13,974 domains. There were no top-level country
domains registered during June.
The suit that Knowledgenet has filed against Network Solutions and
David L. Boone over the knowledgement.com domain has been dismissed.
David Boone has agreed to relinquish the domain name to Knowledgenet,
Inc.
During the month of June, domain requests are averaging between 600-
700+ 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 June
1995, the domain processing queue had again increased from 5,000 to
6,000 new domain registrations.
Mark Kosters and Kim Hubbard attended the NANOG meeting in Ann Arbor,
Michigan on June 22-23, 1995. Mark gave a presentation on the status
of the InterNIC and the draft IP allocation practices that has been
created in lieu of the general ip allocation document effort,
rfc1466bis. RFC1466bis was broken into sections and assigned at RIPE
in Jan 1995. Both the APNIC and InterNIC portions where completed. The
RIPE section has not yet been completed. Kim Hubbard has agreed to
complete the unfinished work in the RIPE section and pull the document
together for review.
Mark Kosters attended INET95 to give a presentation on the status of
the InterNIC.
The Scout HQ project began at the University of Wisconsin through a
sub-contract with NSI. Susan Calcari relocated to Madison from San
Diego and resumed weekly production and distribution of the Scout
Report. A new Web site for the Scout Report was established on the
Registration Services Web site, URL:
http://rs.internic.net/scout_report-index.html. Computer equipment
was ordered for the Info Scout and the Assistant Scout, including both
desktop and laptop computers. Susan assisted NSI in the NIC Liaison
recruitment process by reviewing approximately 40 resumes and
recommending which applicants should be considered further.
Interviews are expected to occur during June.

Internet Monthly Report June 1995
II. Current Status
During the month of June 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 32,350 (hostmaster@internic.net)
Postal/Fax 309 (primarily IP number requests)
Phone 4,383
The Registrations Services host computer supported a large volume
of information retrieval requests during the month of June.
Connections Retrievals
Gopher 38,614 35,298
WAIS 21,976 21,976

INTERNIC DIRECTORY AND DATABASE SERVICES
During the period June 19 to June 21, we moved one of our backup
servers to a new physical location. ds1.internic.net had been
located in a research environment in Murray Hill, New Jersey. It
has moved to a computer center environment in Holmdel, NJ. This
change will make it possible to get more rapid response to
problems that require physical access to the machine.
In the new location, ds1 remains physically separated from both
our other two servers: ds.internic.net (our primary server) in
South Plainfield, NJ; and ds2.internic.net in Columbus, OH. This
physical separation has allowed us to keep at least one server
accessible to the Internet at all times since we started
operation.
ds1.internic.net has retained its DNS name, but its address did
change as a result of the move.
While ds1 was out of service during this period, our other two
Cooper [Page 16]
Internet Monthly Report June 1995
machines remained available during ds1's move.
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.

MERIT/NSFNET ENGINEERING
------------------------
This report summarizes recent activities of Merit's Internet
Engineering group on behalf of the Routing Arbiter (RA) Project.
The Routing Arbiter Database (RADB) is now fully in production, and
is being used to generate configurations for the ANSNET backbone
network and the RA project's Route Servers. Providers worldwide
now enter data directly in the database; the RADB staff focused
this month on providing consultation and documentation for those
users. Information on the RADB home page,
http://www.ra.net/routing.arbiter/RA/RADB.tools.docs.html, now
includes:
* How to Delete Objects from the RADB
* How to Query the RADB for Information on Networks, ASs, and
Maintainers
* PRDB to RADB Transition
* How to Register in the RADB (IRR)
* Updating Maintainer Objects
* Ripe-181
Providers now only need to register routing information in one of
the registries in the Internet Routing Registry. Currently, these
include the Routing Arbiter Database and the RIPE NCC, InternetMCI,
CA*net, and ANS Routing Registries. User updates to the RADB are
immediately visible through whois commands such as:
whois -h whois.ra.net 193.101.106.0
whois -h whois.ra.net AS800
Users were notified early this month about two modifications to be
made to data in the RADB. First, Route objects without the
Cooper [Page 19]
Internet Monthly Report June 1995
required information about Origin AS (Home AS) were listed on the
RADB Web pages and then removed from the database. Next, Route
objects with advisory lines specifying non-existent peers were
identified; many of these were entries that had not been modified
to reflect the retirement of the NSFNET Backbone Service on April
30. Users were given the opportunity to modify these objects.
Data that had not been corrected by the end of June was then
modified directly by the RADB staff.
Merit recently modified the RIPE-181 (RFC 1786) code, which is used
to express routing policy in the Routing Arbiter Database. The
code now supports syntax checking for the draft AS path regular
expressions specified by the IETF Routing Policy System (RPS)
Working Group. Merit also continues to add new capabilities to
'radbserver,' an enhanced whois server that provides information
collected from all the registries that form part of the Internet
Routing Registry.
The number of peering sessions being established with Route Servers
at the interconnection points continues to grow, as more providers
take advantage of services offered by this state-of-the-art
technology. Information about the status of current Route Server
peering sessions is available at:
http://www.ra.net/routing.arbiter/RA/.bgp.peers.html
CERT, in a follow-up to its security review of RA systems at Merit
and ISI, visited the MAE-East, Sprint, AADS, and PacBell NAPs and
MAE-West to advise the RA team on potential security issues with
the fielded Route Servers.
This month Jessica Yu presented a paper titled "The U.S. Internet
Infrastructure and its Evolution" at the Eighteenth Pacific Science
Conference in Beijing, China. Laurent Joncheray presented a paper
titled +A Simple Active Attack Against TCP+ at the Fifth USENIX
UNIX Security Symposium in Salt Lake City. Elise Gerich attended
an NSF- sponsored "Workshop on the vBNS and the Research Agenda for
Networking and Applications" in Washington D.C.
