DNS UDP checksums
by Benoit Grange 03 Feb '95

03 Feb '95

I ran a tcpdump during 15 minutes this morning to check how many servers were not doing UDP checksums on their DNS packets. The result is: 35% of our DNS traffic is NOT CHECKSUMMED. Even some important name servers do no checksum their traffic (browse the list and be surprised). The list of correct or incorrect name servers are available as: ftp://ftp.nic.fr/pub/autres/dns-wg/nocksum ftp://ftp.nic.fr/pub/autres/dns-wg/cksum --------------- Benoit Grange NIC France E-Mail: Benoit.Grange(a)inria.fr

dom-net is moved to obsolete
by Francis Dupont 02 Feb '95

02 Feb '95

The domain network (dom-net) attribute of the domain object is moved to obsolete. We know only one objection: the dom-net attribute can be used to check whether an organization requests space from different sources/blocks. But dom-net is almost unmanageable then it is easy to foiled this argument. If there is no serious argument against this change the domain object template will be (definitively) updated.
