June 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". For example: To: rfc-info@ISI.EDU Subject: getting imrs help: ways_to_get_imrs or URL: http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/imr/ IMR Editor [Page 1] Internet Monthly Report June 1997 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTERNET ARCHITECTURE BOARD IAB MESSAGE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 3 INTERNET ENGINEERING REPORTS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 3 Internet Projects INTERNIC. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 16 Registration Services . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 16 Directory Services. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 17 US Domain Registry. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 18 MERIT INTERNET ENGINEERING. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 21 INET97 TRIP REPORT. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 20 IANA REPORT . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 20 RFC EDITOR REPORT . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 20 CALENDAR OF EVENTS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 24 TERENA List of Meetings. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 29 SOFTBANK Forums Future Events Calendar . . . . . . . . . . page 27 IMR Editor [Page 2] Internet Monthly Report June 1997 INTERNET ARCHITECTURE BOARD The minutes of the IAB back to 1990 are available for anonymous ftp access on host ftp.isi.edu, directory /pub/IAB, or via the IAB World-Wide Web page with URL http://www.iab.org/iab/. Brian Carpenter IAB Chair INTERNET ENGINEERING REPORTS ---------------------------- Internet Monthly Report for June, 1997 1. Let me remind everyone that 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 Washington, DC from December 8-12, 1997. Our local host is Newbridge Networks. The IETF will meet in Los Angeles from March 30 - April, 3, 1998 and then in Chicago August 24-28, but the Secretariat is still working out some details, albeit the final stage. 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: May 22, 1997 (iesg.97-05-22) 3. The IESG approved or recommended the following five Protocol Actions during the month of June, 1997: o Core Based Trees (CBT version 2) Multicast Routing Protocol Specification for publication as an Experimental Protocol. IMR Editor [Page 3] Internet Monthly Report June 1997 o Core Based Trees (CBT) Multicast Routing Architecture for publication as an Experimental Protocol. o IMAP4 IDLE command for publication as a Proposed Standard. o RTP Payload Format for H.263 Video Streams for publication as a Proposed Standard. o Internet Cache Protocol (ICP), version 2 for publication as an Informational RFC. 4. Nine Last Calls were issued by the IESG during the month of June, 1997: o IMAP4 Namespace <draft-gahrns-imap-namespace-01> for consideration as a Proposed Standard. o IMAP4 Mailbox Referrals <draft-gahrns-imap-mailbox-referral-00> for consideration as a Proposed Standard. o RPCSEC_GSS Protocol Specification <draft-ietf-oncrpc-rpcsec_gss-05> for consideration as a Proposed Standard. o Use of an X.500/LDAP directory to support MIXER address mapping <draft-ietf-mixer-directory-01> for consideration as a Proposed Standard. o Administratively Scoped IP Multicast <draft-ietf-mboned-admin-ip-space-03> for consideration as a Best Current Practices RFC. o Routing Policy Specification Language (RPSL) <draft-ietf-rps-rpsl-02> for consideration as a Proposed Standard. o Using the Internet DNS to Distribute MIXER Conformant Global Address Mapping (MCGAM) <draft-ietf-mixer-rfc1664bis-00> for consideration as a Proposed Standard. o IMAP4 Login Referrals <draft-gahrns-imap-login-referrals-00> for consideration as a Proposed Standard. o Authentication Mechanisms for ONC RPC <draft-ietf-oncrpc-auth-03> for consideration as an Informational RFC.

INTERNIC DIRECTORY AND DATABASE SERVICES The June Seed Database for Netfind has 1.62 million entries. For full searching of this database, you should be using version 5.0.2 of the Netfind source code. Both the seed database and the Netfind source code are available at: http://www.internic.net/wp/netfind-seeddb.html Work is proceeding on a new version of Netfind, version 5.1. We expect an alpha version to be available in July. Netfind 5.1 will have the following features: - More complex Boolean queries - Use of DNS SRV records to help find directory resources - Direct LDAP interface - Cleaned up architecture that better distributes functions among modules IMR Editor [Page 12] Internet Monthly Report June 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 A new policy has been added regarding the locality delegation. As of 1-Jul-97, it is assumed by the US Domain Administrator that every applicant for the delegation (or redelegation) of a locality name has the written agreement of the legitimate government for that locality for the applicant to manage the domain name of that locality. Evidience of such an agreement does not need to be presented at the time of delegation (except that the administrative contact on the application template must be the government representative). However, if the delegation is later challenged or contested, the manager of the locality domain must produce the agreement. Failure to do so will most likely result in the transfer of the management of the locality domain to another manager that does have such an agreement. If there is a dispute as to what is the legitimate government for a locality is and who may act for it, the league of cities or association of municipalities that each state (as recognized by the National League of Cities) may be asked to assist in resolving such disputes. In some places there are overlapping jurisdictions with the same name (for example, the city of Los Angeles and the county of Los Angeles). In such cases, the higher level government should have priority. 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. IMR Editor [Page 13] Internet Monthly Report June 1997 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.

Merit is pleased to announce a new initiative, the Policy Analysis of Internet Routing (PAIR) project. A collaboration among staff from the Routing Arbiter Database and Route Server Next Generation (RSng) projects, PAIR is developing tools that will help ISPs, network operators, and end users troubleshoot routing and policy problems in the Internet. The tools were developed in response to requests from organizations peering with the RSng Route Servers, and greatly improve the peers' ability to track internal routing processes in the Route Server systems. Using PAIR, you can answer questions such as: - Why isn't Provider A seeing any of my routes? - What routes am I exporting to Provider B? - According to the policy that Provider C registered in the IRR, what routes should it be exporting to my AS? IMR Editor [Page 16] Internet Monthly Report June 1997 PAIR makes it possible to compare prescribed policy, i.e., policy registered in the Internet Routing Registry, with policy actually being configured in the Internet. You can use the PAIR tools to: - Learn how the policy in IRR AS Objects is processed and used to generate Route Server configuration files - Gain an understanding of internal Route Server processes, such as policy configurations and state tables - Pinpoint discrepancies between registered policy and actual routing announcements - Troubleshoot global routing problems - Identify stale or inaccurate data in the Internet Routing Registry Members of Merit's PAIR team are Jake Khuon, Jerry Winters, Abha Ahuja, and Tom Spindler. For more information about the project, see: http://www.rsng.net/pair/ ------------------------------------------------------------ With the final release of Scion, the popular network monitoring package, work is now complete on the one-year NetSCARF (Network Statistics Collection And Reporting Facility) Project. Funded by a grant from the Resource Allocation Committee, the project has been extremely successful; to date, more than 1700 users in 70 countries have downloaded the Scion code. Merit's NetSCARF team includes Bill Norton, project director, Andy Adams, lead software architect, and programmer Bill Siadak. Scion can be used by ISPs to collect network statistics and display performance reports on the World Wide Web. The code, derived from the initial NSFNET project's statistics collection and reporting activities, is easy to install and run. Every ten minutes, Scion's optimized SNMP library queries ISP routers for the values of variables such as sysUpTim and ifLastChange. The library uses SNMP Version 1, and can be configured to use SNMPv2u, the User-based Security model for SNMPv2. Scion's SNMP API is unique, in that it allows the developer to specify a list of nodes, a community string (or userid/authentication password/privacy password in the case of SNMPv2u), and a list of management objects to retrieve. All queries are then transmitted back- to-back, without waiting for any replies. The data collection activity is thus very fast, and the results highly synchronized. Other publicly available SNMP libraries force applications to wait for a response (or timeout) for a given query before the next query can be issued to a different node. IMR Editor [Page 17] Internet Monthly Report June 1997 The raw SNMP statistics are pre-processed each evening, and the processed data delivered to CGI scripts, using what the developers believe to be the first public domain implementation of the OpStats (RFC 1856) client/server model. Finally, ISP performance reports based on the 'cooked' data are displayed on the Web via the CGI scripts. ISPs can use the Scion code to automatically produce HTML graphs showing system uptime, interface uptime, and total network traffic measured in packets. An advanced statistics Web page allows users to specify customized graphing parameters. Some of the new features contained in version 3.0 are: - A moving strip chart that can be used to monitor traffic and display network data in real-time. - A new graphical tool, scadmin, which allows you to associate nodes with arbitrary names instead of hard-to-remember IP addresses. The tool can also be used to control access to each node on a per-user basis. - Interfaces can be marked as internal or external to the network. - Clickable graphs make it possible to zoom in on traffic graphs to display greater detail. Source and binaries are available for Solaris, SunOS, BSDI, AIX, and Windows NT. For information on downloading version 3.0, see: http://www.merit.edu/~netscarf/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Merit continues to expand its Web collection of "Internet Resources for ISPs". The site now contains information on: - Outage Notification Services - Routing and Exchange Points - Routing Tools and Analysis - CIDR - Statistics and Network Management - Internet Organizations - Ethics - Other ISP Web Pages - Other Useful References See: http://www.merit.edu/ipma/docs/isp.html ------------------------------------------------------------ IMR Editor [Page 18] Internet Monthly Report June 1997 IBM Global Services hosted the tenth North American Network Operators' Group (NANOG) meeting in Tampa on June 6-7. Stan Barber of Academ Consulting Services has kindly made available a complete set of notes and slides from the meeting; they are available through the NANOG Web site (http://www.nanog.org).

The meeting also featured a tutorial titled "Review of Internet Resources for ISPs," presented by Michael Dillon of Priori Networks Inc., as well as demonstrations of freely available tools for troubleshooting network problems and registering policy in the Internet Routing Registry. ------------------------------------------------------------ IMR Editor [Page 19] Internet Monthly Report June 1997 Sue Hares taught sessions on Backbone Internetworking Technology at the Internet Society's Workshop on Network Technology for Countries in the Early Stages of Internetworking, presented in conjunction with the INET'97 conference. The workshop was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Susan R. Harris (srh@merit.edu) INET97 REPORT ------------- Trip Report INET97 - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia June 1997 Joyce K. Reynolds USC/Information Sciences Institute The Internet Society's INET 97 was held in June 1997, in Kuala, Lumpur, Malaysia, with approximately 2500 attendees. Joyce K. Reynolds was the User co-track leader of INET97, along with Mark Prior, connect.com.au pty ltd, Australia. Joyce and Mark worked with John Hine (INET97 Program Chair) and the rest of the invited program committee members to produce the agenda and proceedings for the conference. The INET97 User Track had seven sessions: - Electronic Publishing - Using Technology - Art and the Internet - Impact of the Internet - Disabilities - Community Networking - Disabilitites Panel For further information on the User Track presentations, presenters and panelists, please see: http://www.isoc.org/inet97/proceedings/INDEX.HTM IMR Editor [Page 20] Internet Monthly Report June 1997 IANA REPORT ----------- Here is the June Report on IANA activity and assignments: Country Codes 2 DHCP Options 3 Domain System Parameters 2 Media Types 11 Multicast Addresses: Individual Assignments 4 Novell SAP Numbers 2 Private Enterprise Numbers 59 Port Numbers 34 SMI Numbers 3 Josh Elliott <elliott@isi.edu> RFC EDITOR REPORT ----------------- This is a summary of Request for Comments Editor activity for the month of June, 1997: TIME IN QUEUE DOCUMENTS New* 30 days 60 days 90 days TOTAL ------------------------------------------------------------------ | Beginning of 0 25 4 7 | 36 month | | New 11 0 0 0 | 11 | | Processed 3 12 4 1 | 20 ------------------------------------------------------------------ | End of month 8 13 0 6 | 27 * New RFCs added to queue throughout the month IMR Editor [Page 21] Internet Monthly Report June 1997 The Requests for Comments (RFCs) are a series of notes, started in 1969, about the Internet (originally the ARPANET). 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.
