March 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 March 1997 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTERNET ARCHITECTURE BOARD IAB MESSAGE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 3 INTERNET ENGINEERING REPORTS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 3 Internet Projects INTERNIC. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 21 Registration Services . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 21 Directory Services. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 21 US Domain Registry. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 22 MERIT INTERNET ENGINEERING. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 24 UCL . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 25 IANA REPORT . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 25 RFC-EDITOR REPORT . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 26 CALENDAR OF EVENTS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 27 TERENA List of Meetings. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 31 IMR Editor [Page 2] Internet Monthly Report March 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 March 1. The first IETF meeting 1997 will be held in Memphis, Tennessee from April 7-10, 1997. Our local host is Federal Express. Following Memphis, the IETF returns to Europe for the summer meeting in Munich, Germany from August 11-15, 1997. Our host for this meeting will be Digi/ISOC.DE. The final meeting of the year will be held in the D.C. area, hosted by Newbridge. 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: February 20, 1997 (iesg.97-02-20) March 6, 1997 (iesg.97-03-06) 3. The IESG approved or recommended the following two Protocol Actions during the month of March: o XDR: External Data Representation Standard for publication as a Draft Standard. o Basic Socket Interface Extensions for IPv6 for publication as an Informational RFC.

Registrations: 98581 Rich Landers <richl@internic.net> INTERNIC DIRECTORY AND DATABASE SERVICES The Netfind Seed Database which is used by both Netfind and WebFinder is up to 1.2 million entries in March. The database contains information that relates companies with the domain names they have registered. The information is gathered from various registration databases around the world. The April seed database is currently under construction and should have about 1.3 million entries. The number of entries will fluctuate from time to time since we periodically check the validity of old entries and delete those that are no longer good. In late April we expect our primary server (ds0.internic.net) to move to a new physical location. The server will be out of service for a few days during the move, but our other two production servers (ds1.internic.net and ds2.internic.net) will be available. Up-to-date information on the planned availability of the server can be found in the greeting message when you telnet to the machine. IMR Editor [Page 21] Internet Monthly Report March 1997 As has been mentioned in the past, the best way to access our servers is via the generic name ds.internic.net. This way you avoid attempting to access a machine that is down. 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 registration form available at 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 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.

A reminder for Routing Arbiter Database users: you will get the fastest turnaround for your database updates by sending them to auto-dbm@ra.net, which is machine-processed. Only new Maintainer objects--as well as consulting questions--should go to db- admin@ra.net, which is read by the RADB support staff. Route Server Next Generation (RSng) operations are now up and running at the AADS NAP in Chicago. One Sun Ultra running Solaris and one DEC Alpha running Digital Unix are in production at the site. RSng services went into production at the MAE-East interconnection point in January, and at the Digital Internet Exchange in February. The Route Servers were developed under the NSF-supported Routing Arbiter project, a partnership between Merit and the USC Information Sciences Institute. RSng, a commercial follow-on activity, makes it possible for exchange point operators to purchase Route Server services from Merit. For more information, see: http://www.rsng.net IMR Editor [Page 24] Internet Monthly Report March 1997 The National Science Foundation has awarded Merit and the University of Michigan a three-year follow-on grant for continued development of the Multi-Threaded Routing Toolkit. Professor Farnam Jahanian of the U-M Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department is now a Co-PI on the project, along with Craig Labovitz of Merit. MRT, an extensible platform for developing and debugging routing protocols and routing code, now provides IPv6 support for two additional platforms: - WIDE IPv6 (hydrangea 970225, BSD/OS 2.1) - NRL IPv6 (Sep96, NetBSD 1.2) For more information about MRT, see: http://www.merit.edu/~mrt/ Susan R.

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.
