INTERNET PROJECTS
-----------------
ANSNET/NSFNET BACKBONE ENGINEERING
----------------------------------
Network Status Summary
=======================
ANSnet total packet traffic increased by about 4% in September '94.
An decrease in the ANSnet forwarding table size of .36% was
observed during the month of September.
August Backbone Traffic Statistics
==================================
The total inbound packet count for the ANSnet (measured using SNMP
interface counters) was 70,954,833,675 on T3 ENSS interfaces, up
4.04% from August. The total packet count into the network
including all ENSS serial interfaces was 84,235,044,204 up 3.98%
from August.
Router Forwarding Table Statistics
===================================
The maximum number of destinations announced to ANSnet during
September was 18,778 down .36% from August.
The number of network destinations configured for announcement to
the ANSnet but never announced (silent nets) during September was
18,817
BGP-4/CIDR Deployment Status
============================
As of September 6th '94, we have observed the withdrawal of 8,793
class based destinations from the ANSnet router forwarding tables
that are now represented by 1,745 configured aggregates. Among
these configured aggregates:
1,480 of these are top-level aggregates (not nested in another
aggregate).
1,176 of these are actively announced to ANSnet.
954 of these have at least one subnet configured (the other
196 may be saving the Internet future subnet
announcements).
Cooper [Page 7]
Internet Monthly Report September 1994
849 of these have resulted in the withdrawal of at least one
configured more specific route.
833 of these have resulted in the withdrawal of 50% of their
configured more specific routes.
800 of these have resulted in the withdrawal of most (80%+)
of their more specific routes.
For up-to-date information is available from merit.edu:
pub/nsfnet/cidr/cidr-savings.
For further details on these CIDR aggregates, see
merit.edu:pub/nsfnet/cidr/nestings.announced for full listings.
Routing Stability Measured on the T3 Network
============================================
Internal routing stability measurements are made by monitoring
short term disconnect times (disconnects of five minutes duration
or less). This is intended as a measure of overall system
stability rather than complete connectivity.
August was the most stable month recorded since this data was
collected (since January 1993), with no software deployments and no
major problems. September was also quite stable. An FDDI
interface problem at the Washington DC POP was the most notable
problem and the only problem effecting a core site. The remaining
problems were mostly end-node circuits.

Monthly histograms of the number of nodes experiencing instability
follows. This month most of the nodes had under 15 minutes of
instability. All but CNSS58 had under 30 minutes of instability.
During Septmeber, most of the nodes had under 15 minutes of
instability. All but CNSS58 had under 30 minutes of instability.
The CNSS58 problems were due to Washington DC POP FDDI problems on
September 23. Again August was the best month on record with all
of the nodes with any instability at all recording less than 15
minutes of instability.

THE SCOUT REPORT:
A Weekly Summary of Internet Highlights
Presently the Scout Report is now reaching over 10,000 subscribers
and the HTML versions on the InfoGuide are receiving thousands of
accesses each week. A new mailing list was created for easier
distribution of the HTML Scout Report, which is located at scout-
report-html.
The Scout Report is a weekly publication offered to the Internet
community as a fast, convenient way to stay informed on network
activities. Its purpose is to combine in one place the highlights
of new resource announcements and other news which occurred on the
Internet during the previous week.
Cooper [Page 13]

version of the course which includeded a copy of _The Whole
Internet_ as well as class handouts of the PowerPoint presentation.
Evaluations of this first course presentation were generally
positive with attendees citing the hands-on exercises as especially
valuable.
The next phase of development will focus on creating notes to
accompany the PowerPoint presentation. This phase will make the
course materials fully self-contained and will give even the newest
Internet user comprehensive instruction on the Internet.
Presentation of the course will procede in conjuction with
production of the class notes. This high quality course is ready
to introduce the new Internet users to the networking community.

INTERNIC DIRECTORY AND DATABASE SERVICES
----------------------------------------
Our servers support a "guest" login which has a menu-oriented
interface to most of our services. When users exit this login,
they are given the opportunity to enter comments and questions.
Here are a few of the top questions with answers:
- How can I get a login of my own on this system so I don't have to
use guest?
You don't need an individual login. The information on our servers
is freely available to all, and can be accessed a number of
different ways. In particular, the guest login is not simply for
brief trial use; you can use it whenever you want to access our
system.
- How can I get more information about the services offered?
If you log in to one of our servers as "guest", you will see
information on how to access the tutorial. If you use gopher to
access our machine, select item 4 (InterNIC Directory and Database
Services) on the first menu, then select 1 (About InterNIC
Directory and Database Services). You will now have a list of
information items to choose from. If you use FTP, change to the

- Why can't I find a given organization in the directory?
Briefly, we support tools that access a number of different
directory systems, but some organizations do not choose to make
their directories available on line or do not include all of their
employees/faculty/students in the directory. Also, for security
reasons, many organizations do not allow probes into their systems
to try to find people. There is more information on this issue in
the June 1994 IMR.
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.

INTERNIC REGISTRATION SERVICES
-------------------------------
I. Significant Events
InterNIC Registration Services assigned over 6,000 network
addresses and registered over 1,736 domains. Three top-level
country domains were registered during the month; Kazakhstan (KZ),
Guyana (GY), Armenia (AM).
II. Current Status
During the month of September 1994, 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 6,073 (hostmaster@internic.net)
Postal/Fax 279 (primarily IP number requests)
Phone 1,824
The Registrations Services host computer supported a large volume
of information retrieval requests during the month of September.
Connections Retrievals
Gopher 63,203 36,129
WAIS 55,002 55,827

NETSTATION
==========
Work this month focused on X-Display server investigation and
display device farbication.
Last month, the network interfaces were shown capable of handling
up to 60K pkt/sec, for circa 120 byte packets. A remaining question
Cooper [Page 17]
Internet Monthly Report September 1994
concerning the display device is the likely load in RPC/sec sent
across the network to the display device.
To that end an instrumented version of the X-Display server is
being built that looks at the number of RasterOp() calls that are
made to the screen frame buffer and the size of the pixel
rectangles moved. Figures obtained from this should be available
by the end of October.
The display testing platform design is nearly finished and the
component memory and JPEG plug-in cards are being sent out for
fabrication.
Gregory Finn attended the ARPA Santa Fe investigators conference
Sept. 25-28, where he gave a short presentation.

MULTIMEDIA CONFERENCING
=======================
A new release of ISI's Multimedia Conference Control program (mmcc)
for telephone-style conference calling over the Multicast Backbone
(MBone) is available. This fixes a bug which prohibited mmcc from
spawning the current version 3.3 of the nv (network video) tool
properly. The new version (mmcc v.55a) can be retrieved via
anonymous FTP from ftp.isi.edu:confctrl/mmcc as files "mmcc-
*.tar.Z", and is available for the dec5k, decalpha, hp, sgi and
sparc platforms. The solaris version should follow shortly.

RSVP PROJECT
============
At ISI, Steve Berson has been concentrating on preparing an RSVP
release, including the rsvp daemon, the API, and the sd, vat, and
nv applications that MIT modified to call RSVP. At the end of the
month, a preliminary version of this release was provided to four
sites, to debug the release. General release is expected early in
October.
Meanwhile, work is in progress on two important updates to the
first RSVP release.
(1) An rsvpd <-> mrouted interface is being debugged Berson at
ISI and by Ajit Thyagarajan (UDEL). This interface will
Cooper [Page 18]
Internet Monthly Report September 1994
allow rsvpd to query the pruning version of mrouted (3.3)
for multicast routes.
(2) The RSVP API is being updated by Don Hoffman at Sun
Microsystems and Bob Braden at ISI, to match the current
protocol spec.
John Wroclawski at MIT has been continuing to work with Steve
Casner at ISI to prepare an up-to-date DARTnet kernel that will
include the CSZ code. Casner has recently made progress in
producing a driver for the HSI/S board that is not subject to
overruns; this is being merged with Wroclawski's double-buffered
driver logic. This should allow for the non-trivial CPU processing
that is required by packet scheduling.
Preparations are in progress to demonstrate RSVP on DARTnet from
the MM '94 conference in San Francisco, October 19-20.
Daniel Zappala at ISI continued investigating routing support for
RSVP. He has developed a preliminary architecture and designed
routing functions to support hierarchical encoding using multiple
multicast groups.
Shai Herzog at ISI has completed the first part of his work on cost
allocation and accounting for multicast/RSVP, and he is currently
preparing it for publication. The work defines the ground rules
and tradeoffs in receiver-based cost allocation for multicast
distributions. He presented this work as part of the ISI seminar
series and also as a thesis proposal in his qualifying exam at USC.

NORTHWESTNET
------------
>>========================================<<
NorthWestNet's Eighth Annual Meeting
"Passport to Productivity"
November 8-10, 1994
Portland Hilton ** Portland, Oregon
>>========================================<<
The Internet has fundamentally changed how we conduct our day-to-
day business as well as how we plan for the future. These changes
influence our productivity and, in some cases, redefine how we
measure our successes. The dramatic expansion of services and the
increasing diversity of connected organizations are critical
factors. We will explore the nature of these changes, how the
Internet influences and supports our daily activities, as well as
how we perceive and plan for its role in our organizations. What is
available today? What can we expect for tomorrow?
The meeting will begin with plenary presentations by nationally-
renowned speakers on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning.
Wednesday afternoon and all-day Thursday will be devoted to focus
workshops and presentations in which attendees can explore issues
affecting productivity including: Getting Connected, Internet
Search Strategies, Security, Hot Technical Topics, Gopher
Implementation, WWW Implementation, Laying Foundations for K-12 &
the Internet, and Commercial Use of the Internet. In addition,
there will be Birds of a Feather interest groups and ample
opportunities to meet your fellow NorthWestNet attendees.
Please send all correspondence regarding the Annual Meeting to
info@nwnet.net or call the NorthWestNet offices, (206) 562-3000.
