Peter Kirstein - -------- v25 Internal Note 2313 April 29 1990 (Revised) THE NETWORK CONNECTIONS, TERMINAL AND MAIL CONVERSION RELAYING FACILITIES IN THE CCIRN COMMUNITIES OPERATING OR PLANNED IN APRIL 1990 Peter T Kirstein Department of Computer Science University College London ABSTRACT This note lists the lines, mail relays and terminal relays known to the authors as being in place or planned between the North American Research Community and the International Research Community. It has been prepared for the Coordinating Committee for Intercontinental Research Networks (CCIRN) and the International Collaboration Board (ICB). 1 INTRODUCTION It was decided, at the first CCIRN meeting in May 1988, to compile a list of the gateways currently operational on the two sides of the Atlantic for the next meeting of the CCIRN in October 1988. We were tasked with compiling the information for mail and terminal gateways, others for file facilities. This is a fifth draft in this direction, which should be reviewed by all members of the CCIRN, and updated for their constituencies. While some editorial control has been applied, much of the contents of this version has been deriveD from CCIRN or ICB members. This information has been extended considerably, and now covers the connections also between North America and the rest of the world. In Section 2 we have listed the lines known to be in place or planned between the members of the North American Internet (and the networks to which it is connected) and the rest of the world. In Section 3, we have tried to list the networks which are considered relevant to CCIRN communities. It should be noted that by "network" we mean the total system - - not just the lower communication subsystem. It has been updated also to indicate the communities served by each relay. We have excluded most of the commercial Message systems, mainly because they do not cater just to the research community. However, in a later version it might be important to compile also information on managed gateways between the research networks and the commercial ones. Examples are mail convertors being considered between JANET and the British Telecom Gold, or between the US Internet and commercial carriers such as MCI-Mail. One reason for not listing any such mail convertors at this stage, is that decision on their provision may be sensitive from both a commercial and regulatory viewpoint. There are two exceptions. NASAMAIL is mentioned, although it runs as a closed usergroup of the commercial Telemail service. This is because it is in consistent use by a sizable portion of the research community. The subject of commercial mail services should be considered at a future CCIRN meeting. Also, under "lines" we have mentioned some of the DOE connections which use commercial packet switched services. Following the compilation of the relevant networks, we have listed some of the Mail Convertors which have been developed and are operational. This list may be incomplete; nevertheless it has had information from all members of the CCIRN, and will be updated as further information is made available. In Section 4 we have listed some of the installations tasked with providing mail convertor facilities. This document has been updated based on information received by April 21 1990; when further information is provided, it will be updated again. I would like to have an updated version available for the CCIRN meeting in the beginning of May 1990. Since the previous edition, there has been a growth of the RIPE activities. As far as I know, this merely serves to strengthen the European distribution. It may also, however, have led to further inclusion of gateway facilities. I would appreciate the RIPE community also updating this document. Possibly it should be supplemented by something to do with international gateways - at least for Europe and North America. This has not yet been done systematically. 2 CURRENT AND PLANNED INTERNATIONAL LINES 2.1 US INTERNATIONAL LINES BY FOREIGN COUNTRY LAB LINK FROM AGENCY LINK TO 1.4 AGENCY SP PROTOC MED USE DATE 17 Haw U Hawaii HA NASA Melbourne Aus AARN 64 IP/DEC T SPAN Now 48 MSFC Huntsvil AL NASA CTIO La Serena Chi CTIO 56 IP/DEC S NSI 5.90 8 Prin U Princeto NJ NSF INRIA Sophia Fra INRIA 64 IP/ENET Acad Now 14 Corn U Ithaca NY NSF CNUSC Montpell Fra EASINE 56 IP Supc Now 15 CUNY New York NY BITNE CNUSC Montpell Fra EARN 56 SNA Res Now 37 Goddar Greenbel MD NASA CNES Toulouse Fra 9.6 DEC UARS Now 38 Argus Landover MD CNES CNES Toulouse Fra 56 IP/DEC CNES Now 6 FNAL Chicago IL DOE MPI Garching GFR DFN 64 Man/X25 Acad Now 10 Goddar Greenbel MD NASA ESOC Darmstadt GFR ESA 19 DEC SPAN Now 11 Goddar Greenbel MD NASA ESOC Darmstadt GFR ESA 56 DEC SPAN 5.90 47 Goddar Greenbel MD MULTI WIN/WPCFrankfurt GFR DAR/En 768?IP Res 10.90?

Those considered relevant to Mail Relaying are listed below. Even though many operate also in other parts of the world, they have the designation Ux. U01. ARPANET/MILNET/NSFNET and Connected Internets - These run SMTP over leased lines. There are some sites outside the US. U02. CSNET - This runs SMTP with additional PSDN and PSTN connections with specific PSTN protocols (PHONENET); they reach many countries outside North America over the PSTN and PSDN. U03. SPAN/HEPNET1 - These run DECNET. There are some links outside the US. U04. L3NET - These run the JANET Mail Protocols (Grey Book, GB) over X.25 over leased lines or U01 at lower levels. GB is similar to the Internet RFC 822 but running over British proprietary (Coloured Book) file and transport protocols. U05. MFENET - These run MFE-Mail/IP over leased lines. U06. USENET - These run UUCP and are world-wide over the PSTN, PPSDN and leased lines. U07. BITNET1 - These run BITNET-Mail over leased lines and are worldwide; the Canadian (NETNORTH) and other versions such as EARN are fully connected in at present. The mail system used is called BSTMP and runs over proprietary IBM protocols. U08. BITNET2 - The mail portion of the network uses the same high level protocols as U07; however the networks themselves are fully integrated into U01 at the lower levels. U09. CDNNET - This uses the EAN version of X.400 in Canada over leased lines, the PSTN and the PPSDN. There are versions in many countries. U10. NASAMAIL - A NASA-operated private Telemail service providing electronic mail for NASA users. U11. DRENET - This runs TCP/IP over the Canadian PPSDN (DATAPAC). It is part of the Internet under the aegis of the International Collaboration Board (ICB). 3.2 EUROPEAN NETWORKS Some of the networks of Section 3.1 operate in Europe; where these use identical protocol suites they are not usually noted separately here. E01. JANET - This runs Grey Book (GB) and operates mainly in the UK over leased lines and the PSDN. There are some sites in other countries. E02. RARE-MHS- The biggest of these, DFN, operates in Germany over the PSDN and leased lines using X.400 only. Many other European networks are starting to use this suite for electronic mail, and hence are indistinguishable for mail purposes. E03. RARE-EAN- This is currently identical to U09, using EAN/V1; however this will be phased out as soon as the various X.400 implementations with full conformance to the standard are adopted. It operates in many European countries. E04. EARN - This is currently the same as U07, but is changing and is therefore listed separately. E05. NORDUNET - A network serving the five Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden). It is transporting IP, DECNET and EUNET traffic; OSI is planned also. For the mail service, it contains gateways between DECNET, SMTP, BSMTP, EUNET and EAN mail protocols. E06. EUROKOM/- This is not a network, but a conferencing system QZCOM running at two sites (Stockholm and Dublin). Because it has mail connections to many users, who access the sites via the PPSDN and PSTN, it is listed separately. There are in fact several versions of COM relays; I believe Stockholm runs the original KOM, and Dublin EUROCOM. I believe that both accept GB. E07. EUNET - This is linked closely to U06. It operates in 19 European countries. There are moves to use SMTP, and to offer other IP-based services. E08. HEPNET - This runs X.25, DECNET, SNA/RSCS and TCP/IP through much of Europe. It is also well connected to U04. E09. GARR-IT - This is an Italian national communications infrastructure running different protocols (X.25, TCP/IP, DECNET, SNA, EARN) where the most important network functions interwork through gateways. The mailing topology is base on the X.400 and RFC 822 naming schemes, interconnected by X.400/RFC mail gateways. This heterogeneous network is used by the most important research bodies (INFN, CNR, ENEA), by the academic community in the Universities, and by national computing centres (CINECA, CILEA, CSATA). E10. EASINET This is the network linking the partners of the IBM Supercomputer Initiative; it is called the European Academic Initiative. The network will run on a private X.25 network, over leased lines; it will suppport X.400 and SMTP for mail. Other services planned are File Transfer (FTAM and FTP), and Remote Terminal access (TELNET and 3270 dialog). E11. SWITCH Swiss University and Research Network, based on leased lines and PPSDN. Takes part in E02, E04, E07, E08. E12. IXI This is a different type of network. It is actually an X.25 bearer network, with a link to most European countries. While officially there were supposed to be links in each country to the Public Packet Switched Data networks (PPSDN) and to the National Research networks, not all the National Carriers have agreed to connect into IXI. Many of the National networks mentioned above may connect inside Europe over IXI. Which countries will support IP over X.25 are not completely decided. The network is in the trial stage in April 1990. E13. ICBnet This is also a different type of network. It is a direct extension of the US Internet, and is completely integrated with the portion run for DARPA. It has been put in place specifically for Defence-related unclassified research. The nodes are Butterfly Gateways, controlled by BBN in the US. The current nodes are at UCL (UK), NTA (Norway), STC (the Netherlands), FGAN (GFR), and CNUCE (Italy). The international circuits used are C9, C2, and C3). Extensions to ULCC (UK) and WPC (GFR) are planned with C45 and C47 of Table 2.1. 3.3 MAIL CONVERTORS There are a large number of special relays built at various sites. Only a few of these are widely replicated. There is considerable scope for extending the list below. The main criterion would be whether the code was available, and could be supported. R01. MMDF/Unix - This relays between SMTP, GB, UUCP, and Phonenet. R02. Sendmail/Unix - This relays between SMTP, GB, UUCP, and Sendmail. R03. Jnet/MVS - This relays between SMTP and BSMTP. R04. Urep/Unix - This relays between BSMTP and Sendmail. R05. EUROKOM - This is a conference system, but because it interworks with other mail systems it is mentioned here. It interworks with MMDF. R06. EAN/Unix - This links X.400 to Sendmail or MMDF. R07. Mailway/Unix - This links X.400 to Sendmail. R08. NASAmail Gateway - This relays between NASAMAIL and SMTP on the Internet. R09. IBM TCP/IP - The IBM TCP/IP product for IBM/VM includes a BSMTP-SMTP relay function internally. R10. MINT - This relays between SMTP, BSMTP, UUCP, VMSmail, EAN and Wylburmail R11. BOHR - This relays between BSMTP and UUCP R12. GIVEME - (General Interface on VMS for Electronic Mail Exchange); this relays between VMSmail, BSMTP, SMTP and X.400 R13. MAD - This relays between UUCP and EAN R14. DFN-EARN/X.400 - This relays between BSMTP(EARN) and X.400 running on IBM/VM. The Mail gateway is based on a prototype developed by IBM ENC and GMD, using the IBM products OTSS and OSNS. R15. DFN-EAN - This relays between VMSmail and X.400 on VAX/VMS R16. DFN-UCLA400 - This relays between BSMTP(EARN) and X.400 running on IBM/MVS. The Mail gateway is based on UCLAMAIL and RETIX X.400 software,, using the IBM products OTSS and OSNS. R17 DFN-EAN/Unix - This relays been X.400 and Sendmail or MMDF. R18. MRX.400 - This relays between VMSmail and X.400 and runs on VAX/VMS as a commercial product Note that EAN and Mailway gateways link to other mail systems, rather than to other protocols. 3.4 TERMINAL RELAYS Terminal Relays are much simpler devices than mail convertors. It is merely necessary to have a Host which is on two networks, and has terminal access to each; many then allow you to log-in from one network, and connect out again to another. Prior to the existence of MILNET, many of the Arpanet Hosts had this feature. It was requested that this feature be disabled on most such Hosts, to allow access control on a Host-Destination pair to have a meaning. To provide good terminal facilities, it is necessary to do fairly extensive mapping of the terminal protocol features (like code, echo characteristics, buffer sizes, and character versus line mode). While several US sites provide such relays - e.g. between MFENET and INTERNET, there are few such outside the US. All the sites in ICBnet (E13) have terminal access directly. In NTA, FGAN and CNUCE, terminal access to the Internet over ICBnet comes only from inside the centre. Both RSRE and UCL provide proper terminal relay facilities from their constituent networks to the Internet. In the case of RSRE, the access is limited to users who access terminal relay facilities inside RSRE from a UK Defence establishment using an approved form of access. In the case of UCL, users may access the relay only from their site. Several sites have terminal access to the Internet via NSFNET: INRIA and UCL/ULCC. The INRIA relay is between the OSI stack in France and the Internet stack on the Internet. Access is mainly to computers running XXX on Transpac (the French PPSDN) in Europe, and a leased line to a gateway to NSFNET at Princeton U (C8) The ULCC/UCL terminal relay uses C5, but this will move in the summer to C5. Here the access is from JANET, the PSTN or the PPSDN. The relay does protocol conversion between the protocols used on the UK academic networks and the Internet Telnet. Only approved users have terminal relay facilities. A number of European research networks run the Internet suites, and do not need convertors. These include NORDUNET (using C1) and SWITCH (using C8). INFN uses different protocols for remote terminal access; the most commonly used is XXX in line-mode and in full-screen mode. IBM 3270 protocol relays are used to access IBM mainframes. Terminal relays between the protocols in use and the Internet high level protocol services are under development. It is hoped that further information will be furnished on other terminal gateways. There are plans to distribute IP services more broadly under RIPE auspices. Several networks plan such access including CWI (via C4). Both the SPAN community and the HEPNET communities have terminal acess via their channels. 4 INSTALLATIONS 4.1 NORTH AMERICA US01. Ames-Relay - This runs R08 at NASA-Ames Research Center for NASA users. It also relays between SMTP/VMSMail (SPAN) and SMTP; It also relays between DECnet mail, NASAMAIL and any DECnet machine at ARC. US02. Argonne-Relay - This runs at the Argonne National Laboratory and relays between BSMTP (BITNET) and MFENET mail for DOE users. US03. BITNET-Relay1 - This runs R01 at several US sites, relaying between BSMTP (BITNET) and SMTP (NSFNET) - usually for any bona fide Internet or BITNET user. US04. BITNET-Relay2 - This runs R09 at several US sites, relaying between BSMTP (BITNET) and SMTP (NSFNET) - usually for any bona fide Internet or BITNET user - at many sites which have both BITNET and Internet connectivity. US05. CSNET-Relay - This runs R01 at BBN, relaying between Phonenet (PSTN and PPSDN) and SMTP (Internet) for any approved CSNET user. US06. DECWRL - This runs at the DEC Western Research Laboratory, and relays between Decnet (Internal DEC) and SMTP (Internet) for communication with DEC employees. US07. LLL-Relay - This runs at the Livermore Laboratory, and relays between MFENET msail, SMTP (Internet) and DECNET mail (HEPNET) for all bona fide DOE researchers. US08. NASA-Relay - This runs R08 at LARC for NASA researchers. This runs the same software as US01, but does not relay to DECNET. US09. UBC-Relay - This runs R06 at the University of British Columbia, and relays between X.400 (PPSDN and PSTN) and SMTP (NSFNET), for the Canadian researcher and education community. US10. UUCP-Relay - This runs R02 at several sites in the US, and relays between SMTP (Internet) and UUCP (PSTN) for any UUCP site. Note that any site that runs Sendmail or MMDF is probably also acting as a gateway between the networks mentioned in R01 and R02. Only a few of these are publicly advertised as such gateways, however. There are more relays planned by NASA (and other selected sites run by members of the FRICC) to carry out X.400 mail experiments in collaboration with RARE WG 6.1; L. Landweber is heavily involved in this work. 4.2 EUROPE ES01. Bohr Inst -This relays between BSMTP (EARN) and UUCP (EUNET) for the HEP community. ES02. CERN - This relays between Sendmail/Urep (PPSDN), UUCP (PSTN and PPSDN), BSMTP (EARN), EAN X.400 (PPSDN), VMSMail (lease lines) and Wylburmail for the European HEP community.

SUNET - This runs R02 and R04 to relay between SMTP, EUNET (PPSDN and PSTN) and EARN. ES22. UCL-CS - This runs R01 at UCL, and relays between GB (JANET and PPSDN), RARE-MHS (PSTN and PPSDN), and SMTP (Internet). It is mainly for the UK research community, but most of the installation for SMTP is now at ES25. ES23 SWITCH - This relays been R18 of Section 3.3, and relays between Sendmail (leased lines), EUNET (UUCP and SMTP) and X.400 for the Swiss Research Community. ES24. UKC - This runs R01 at UKC, and relays between GB (JANET, PPSDN and PSTN) and EUNET (UUCP and SMTP) for the British Research Community. ES25. ULCC - This runs R01 at ULCC, and relays between GB (JANET and PPSDN), RARE-EAN (to be upgraded shortly to full X.400), and SMTP (Internet) for the British Research Community. The activities of ES18 are closely integrated with those of ES21, and the facilities can be considered as one for external purposes. ES26. Wien - This runs R14 and relays between BSMTP(EARN) and X.400 (PPSDN) for the Austrian Research Community. Again many other sites have some ad-hoc relaying activities. These are the main ones tasked to provide such services. ------- End of Forwarded Message
