Brian Carpenter IAB Chair INTERNET ENGINEERING REPORTS ---------------------------- 1. Let me remind everyone that the next IETF is being held in Los Angeles, California from March 4-8, 1996. There will not be a local host for this meeting, but the terminal room facilities will be provided by Interop. Following Los Angeles, the IETF will be meeting in Montreal, Quebec, Canada from June 24-28, 1996. If this date looks familiar, it is the same date as INET '96! This is not a "joint" meeting per se, but both meetings will be held in the Montreal Convention Center, and the terminal room will be provided by INET. Closing out the year, the IETF will be returning to San Jose, California on December 9-13, 1996. Following that, the IETF travels to Memphis, Tennessee to meet April 7-11, 1997. Federal Express will be the host for the first meeting of 1997. Once all the arrangements have been made, notifications will be sent to the IETF Announcement list. Remember that information on future IETF meetings can be always be found in the file 0mtg-sites.txt which is located on the IETF shadow directories. This information can also be viewed from the IETF Home Page on the Web. The URL is: http://www.ietf.cnri.reston.va.us 2. The minutes of the IESG teleconferences have been publicly available on the IETF Shadow directories since 1991. These files are placed in the /ftp/iesg directory. The following IESG minutes have been added: December 21, 1995 (iesg.95-12-21) Cooper [Page 3] Internet Monthly Report January 1996 3. The IESG approved or recommended the following two Protocol Actions during the month of January, 1996: o Address Allocation for Private Internets be published as a Best Current Practices RFC. o Transition Mechanisms for IPv6 Hosts and Routers be published as a Proposed Standard. 4. The IESG issued two Last Calls to the IETF during the month of January, 1996: o IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration for consideration as a Proposed Standard. o "Local/Remote" Forwarding Decision in Switched Data Link Subnetworks for consideration as an Informational RFC. 5. One Working Group was created during this period: Realtime Traffic Flow Measurement (rtfm) and one working group was concluded: Trusted Network File Systems (tnfs) 6.

Significant Events InterNIC Registration Services assigned over 40,077 network addresses and registered over 4,099 domains. Three top level domains were registered this month for Ghana (GH), Monaco (MC), and Nepal (NP). II. Current Status During the month of January 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 12,396 (hostmaster@internic.net) Postal/Fax 291 (primarily IP number requests) Phone 1,907 The Registrations Services host computer supported a large volume of information retrieval requests during the month of December.

Since all three of our processors now have roughly the same capacity, we are in the process of distributing the primary server for our different services. This should result in increased performance for our users, since the primary machine for Archie, for example, is now different than the primary machine for Web access. All of our services are still available on all our machines for reliability, so if one machine is down, all the services are still available on the other two machines. Our Solaris porting activity has continued, and we expect to convert the first of our production machines in February. 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 by Rick Huber THE US DOMAIN REGISTRY The US Domain is only registering domain names providing two nameservers. We will no longer register direct registrations in the form of non-IP hosts, (i.e, UUCP connections requiring MX records), or IP hosts requiring A records). The only A record we will add to our zone file is a glue record for a delegation. Please contact a local service provider to provide your primary and or secondary name service. For further information about the US Domain, send a message to: US-DOMAIN@ISI.EDU, or see our WEB page: http://www.isi.edu/us-domain Cooper [Page 11] Internet Monthly Report January 1996 US DOMAIN ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION ------------------------------------ EMAIL/FAX 1240 PHONE 450 ---------------------------- Total Contacts 1690 DELEGATIONS 70 FORWARDED DELEGATIONS: 393 OTHER US DOMAIN MSGS: 1227 --------------------------- Total 1690 OTHER US DOMAIN MESSAGES INCLUDE: referrals to other subdomains or to/from the InterNic, phone calls, modifications, application requests, discussion and clarification of the requests, questions about names, resolving technical problems with zone files and name servers, and whois listings.

Since the introduction of the Routing Arbiter Database in May 1995, Merit has been working closely with providers and end users to identify, correct, and remove inaccurate or obsolete records from the database. Many of the obsolete records were remnants of the transition to the RADB from the Policy Routing Database (PRDB), which was used to configure the NSFNET backbone service. As part of the RADB effort, Merit has: Cooper [Page 14] Internet Monthly Report January 1996 > Worked with the CA*net staff to remove approximately 3,000 Route objects duplicated in the CA*net registry. > Notified users about Route objects without the required information about Origin AS, or with advisory lines specifying non-existent peers, and modified the objects that were not corrected by users. > Worked with the community to create several hundred Maintainer objects for AS objects that had been converted from the PRDB and contained no information about the "owner" of the AS originating the route. RADB staff members Brian Renaud, Jerry Winters, and Xin Liu have recently focused on isolating and checking AS objects left over from the PRDB transition. These records: > Had no policy lines (as-in, as-out, interas-in, etc.) > Had duplicates in the RIPE or internetMCI registries that contained more information than the RADB object > Had a last changed date preceding the NSFNET shutdown The staff sent e-mail to more than 150 individual maintainers-- individuals authorized to modify the AS's database records--and noted that the object not only duplicated an entry in another registry, but also had less information in it than the entry in the other registry. The object would be deleted in February unless the user instructed Merit otherwise. As users replied, Merit dealt with each response on a case-by-case basis, providing copies of duplicate objects, deleting (or asking users to delete) AS objects as well as Route objects that pointed to the AS objects; providing lists of AS objects that were not duplicated in other registries so the user could determine whether the records were still valid; and tracking provider efforts to remove multiple objects. So far, more than 1000 objects have been deleted from the RADB as a result of this effort. New Route Server peering sessions were established this month by CERFnet, DRA Net, and Netrail. More than 34 providers are now peering with the RSs at the interconnection points. For a complete list of peers, see: http://www.ra.net/statistics/bgp.peers Cooper [Page 15] Internet Monthly Report January 1996 Merit, which has been leading the GateD Consortium since fall 1995, has made significant enhancements to the GateD code. Release 3_5Alpha has been moved into beta; a new version, R3_6Alpha, offers: > A new autoconfiguration process; to build an object directory and create a config file, users simply enter a 'make autoconf' command and respond to the prompts. > A new GateD Interactive Interface (GII) that can be used to query internal variables such as memory usage and routing table contents. The GII also provides debugging and management tools. > DVMRP/PIM support, based on code from Tom Pusateri. > New documentation in PostScript, TeX, and HTML. For more information about GateD enhancements, see: http://www.gated.org Elise Gerich attended the European Operator's Forum and 23rd RIPE meeting in Amsterdam. At the RIPE Routing Working Group, she gave an update on "Tools from the Routing Arbiter." This talk was also scheduled to be presented by Gerich at the Asia Pacific Regional Internet Conference on Operational Technology (APRICOT), held in Singapore; due to illness, Yakov Rekhter gave the talk in her place.
