refresher - what's happening
by epg＠merit.edu 25 Apr '95

25 Apr '95

Hi, At 0700 EDT on Tuesday, April 25, all peering sessions on ENSSes: 128 129 130 131 133 134 135 137 139 140 141 142 143 145 will be commented out of the routing configuration files. If there is a catastrophic failure tomorrow morning, Merit will advise the ANS NOC to roll back to the previous configuration (the one installed on Tuesday morning). If it is determined that problems are isolated to individual autonomous systems, Merit will enable the sessions with those individual autonomous sytems. If there are individual routes from many sources which are unreachable, Merit will designate one emergency configuration time period at which all of the independent additions wil be made. If you are experiencing problems tomorrow after 0700 EDT, please call 1-800-456-6300 or 1-313-677-7333. The NOC operators will page a Merit engineer to help you. If you still have email access, you may send a message to trouble(a)ans.net. Thanks for your help in getting prepared for this day. --Elise

Let me add the appreciation of NSF to that from Elise to all of you who have been taking independent and proactive actions to help assure a smooth transition both for your regions and others.

Config Run on Sunday, April 23 1000EDT
by Elise Gerich 22 Apr '95

22 Apr '95

Merit has rescheduled the configuration run which was postponed on Friday, April 21, 1995 for Sunday, April 23 at 1000 EDT. The originally scheduled configuration window was postponed because the configuration file for ENSS 147 (MAE-East) exceeded 17MB and was corrupt. We had to allocate more filesystem space in order to generate a complete configuration and in addition we worked with ASes 293, 297, 568, 1800 and 3561 to reduce the number of net lists contained in the configuration file. The result is a configuration file of a more reasonable size (9.9MB). The additional activity which was planned for April 21, 1995 was to disable peering sessions between AS 690 and others at the following ENSSes: 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 137 139 140 141 142 143 145 This activity has been rescheduled for 0700 EDT on Tuesday, April 25, 1995. Several organizations have taken the initiative to reduce their dependence on the NSFNET Service even though we had to postpone the planned configuration today. Thank you all for taking those actions independently. --Elise

POSTPONED - NSFNET configuration
by Elise Gerich 21 Apr '95

21 Apr '95

Due to the number off changes that had to be made in the configuraton files for Friday, April 21, 1995, some of the files grew so large that they would truncate during production producing corrrupt configuration files. At this time of the evening/morning we do not have confidence that we will be able to have complete and correct configuration files produced in time for the normal configuration window. We are thereby postponing the Friday, April 21 configuration until Saturday. This means that the discontinuation of the NSFNET service that was planned for Friday, April 21 at 0900 EDT is also postponed. We anticipate rescheduling the test for Monday, April 24, and will notify the community of more concrete plans by 1300 EDT on Friday, April 21. --Elise

The plan - April 21, 1995

21 Apr '95

To better clarify which Autonomous Systems will be effected by the April 21, 1995 action, here is a list of the NSFNET Backbone Service nodes and the associated Autonomous Systems that will be disabled . These sessions will be disabled on April 21, 1995 at 0900 EDT. --Elise City ENSS# Associated AS# -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ann Arbor, MI 131 237 MICHnet 1225 CICnet Argonne, IL 130 683 Argonne 1225 CICnet Boston, MA 134 560 NEARnet 701 Alternet Boulder, CO 141 68 Los Alamos 278 MexNet 297 NASA 2648 NIST Champaign, IL 129 555 MSC 698 UIRnet 1225 CICnet College Park, MD (FIX-East) 145 293 ESnet 297 NASA 568 Milnet 668 DREN 2699 DSI 1800 ICM Houston, TX 139 114 Sesquinet 297 NASA 3354 THEnet Ithaca, NY 133 174 PSI/NYSERnet 133 gated testing Lincoln, NE 140 93 MIDnet Palo Alto, CA 128 199 BARRnet 200 BARRnet Pittsburgh, PA 132 204 PSCnet 1206 PSCnet Princeton, NJ 137 97 GES/Jvncnet 1250 Princeton Salt Lake City,UT 142 210 Westnet Seattle, WA 143 685 NorthWestNet 73 NorthWestNet San Diego, CA 135 195 SDSC 1740 CERFnet 1838 CERFnet 2150 CSUnet 22 NOSC NASA Ames, CA 144 200 BARRnet The following ASes will disable their sessions with the NSFNET Service and will reestablish it after a period of time. These ASes have advised us that the disabling of their sessions with the NSFNET between 0900 and 1000 EDT on April 21, 1995 will cause reachability and capacity problems. Champaign,IL 129 1224 NCSA 38 UIUC Pittsburgh,PA 132 3577 Prepnet College Park, MD 145 1800 ICM (FIX-East) Merit has started collecting routing table snapshots from the NSFNET Backbone Service and SNMP stats (in/out packets, in/out bytes), and will continue to do so throughout most of the day tomorrow. If there is a catastrophic failure tomorrow morning, Merit will advise the ANS NOC to roll back to the previous configuration (those installed Friday morning during the normal configuration window). If it is determined that problems are isolated to individual autonomous systems, Merit will enable the sessions with those individual autonomous systems. If there are individual routes from many sources which are unreachable, Merit will designate one emergency configuration time period at which all of the independent additions will be made. This time period will probably be late Friday or early Saturday. If you are experiencing problems tomorrow after 0900 EDT, please send mail to merit-ie(a)merit.edu, or trouble(a)ans.noc, or call 1-800-456-6300. Merit engineers will be on-call to address your problems. Thanks to all of you who have already ceased peering with AS 690, and to those of you who have worked so hard to meet the April 21, 1995 deadline. Hoping not to hear from you tomorrow. :-) --Elise
