Local Internet Registries Training Course
Date: Friday 10th May, 1996
Time: 0900 - 1700
Venue: Budapest, Hungary
(Further details about the location
will be announced at a later time).
Course Audience
---------------
The target audience for this course is personnel of European Local
Internet Registries that contribute to the RIPE NCC.
Material Covered
----------------
The course is a one day introduction on Internet name, address and
routing policy registration procedures in Europe. It also teaches how
to query and use the information registered for operational purposes.
This includes the following material and activities:
o Overview of name, address and routing registration procedures.
o Responsibilities of both RIPE NCC and Local IR's to each other.
o Wider context of the Delegated Registry system and relevant issues
(IPv4 address depletion, CIDR) and how this relates to IP requests.
o How to use the RIPE NCC Database.
o Use of AS numbers, Routing Registry concepts and an introduction
to using PRIDE tools.
o DNS feedback on commor errors, how to request delegations, and
pointers to useful tools.
We again stress that this course will *not* teach Local Registries on
how to run their business as Internet Service Providers. It is clearly
focussed on registration procedures and the interaction between the
RIPE NCC and local IR's.
A detailed outline is appended below.
The course itself will include lunch and will be free. This of course
does not include your travel and subsitence ;-).
How to Register
---------------
Please send an RSVP to <training(a)ripe.net> if you would like to attend
the course. If you have previously approached us about attending this
course, we ask you to confirm that you (or a colleague) will be
attending.
Registrations will be accepted on a first come, first served basis.
If the course is oversubscribed, we will give priority to
local IRs who have most recently paid the signup fee. If it is still
oversubscribed, we will accept only one person per new local registry.
We will provide additional course dates as necessary. If a number of
local registries so request, we will present courses at other European
locations.
If you would like a local course or have any questions or suggestions,
please do not hesitate to contact us.

Course Outline
--------------
We will provide a slidebook and a reader on the day of the course, as
well as electronically. It is planned to make detailed documentation
available in the form of a guide much like the PRIDE guide.
The program will divide the actual content into the following
sections:
1. Introduction
For those unfamiliar with the Delegated Internet Registry system and
the RIPE NCC, this section will give a historical overview of how we
have arrived at today's model of operation and why training of local
IR's is a much needed activity.
2. IP Registry procedures
This section will clarify the procedures between the RIPE NCC and
local IR's with respect to requests for IP address space. It will
take a step by step approach on how to complete documentation, the
kind of information that is required, what the "handholding" procedure
is, how to deal with very large requests, and very small requests, and
more generally what criteria the RIPE NCC and local IR's use for their
customers in the context of CIDR and IPv4 address depletion.
3. RIPE NCC Database
This section will explain what the RIPE NCC Database is and how it
fits into the scheme of other registry databases. It will cover how to
create and update RIPE NCC Database objects and will explain how to
query the database.
4. Routing Registry procedures
This section will examine AS numbers, when you need them and how to
request them. This will be set within the context of how AS numbers
are used as part of the RIPE Routing Registry. Understanding the
basic principles behind the Internet Routing Registry and how
registering your policy is an important element in the global schema.
This section will also include a brief introduction to the PRIDE tools
and how they can be useful to you.
5. DNS procedures
Where to request forward and reverse domain delegation. Which
documentation should be completed. How reverse domain delegation
requests are processed at the RIPE NCC (with a useful tool). We will
also take a look at common errors in setting up DNS with respect to
relevant RFCs and RIPE recommendations.
Feedback Please!
Throughout the course there will be ample chance for feedback and
discussion with an emphasis for you to tell us how we can improve ;-).
