by Dennis Jennings 08 Jun '93

08 Jun '93

Dear Colleagues, Perhaps this message may be of interest to those of you who plan to attend INTEROP Europe 93 in Paris in October. Apologies in advance to those who may receive multiple postings. Dennis ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Birds of a Feather Sessions (BOFs) INTEROP Europe Paris, 27-29, October, 1993. Birds of a Feather Sessions (BOFs) will provide INTEROP Europe 93 attendees with an opportunity to discuss networking issues in an informal, after hours, atmosphere. These sessions are not intended for formal presentations, and certainly not for vendor product presentations, but rather as a forum for discussions of "unsolved problems". BOFs are open to all INTEROP Europe 93 attendees, including Exhibition attendees, and no special registration is necessary. Examples of some BOF topics from INTEROP Spring 92 in Washington DC include: o Building Network Management Solutions o Commercial Internet Implementations o Very Fast Networks (150-1000 Mbps) o Networked Multimedia Systems o Resource Location o Harvard Performance Tests - Spring 1992: FDDI and Token Ring o Social and Political Issues on the Electronic Frontier o CERT Status To suggest a topic for a BOF at INTEROP Europe 93 in Paris, or to propose that you moderate a BOF session, please send a 50 word abstract to Dennis Jennings at Interop Europe - either fax your abstract to +353-1-904845, or send an e-mail message to DJennings(a)Interop.Com. To be included in the INTEROP Europe 93 Final Programme, BOF Proposals must be received no later that Friday, 9 July, 1993. However, there are only a few BOF session time slots available in Paris, and they will be allocated on a first come / first served basis, so get your proposals in now. For your information, the following is a sample BOF description: Networked Multimedia BOF ------------------------------ Network architects, enterprise LAN managers and telecom execs beware - 1992 is the year workstation video adapters will bring CODEC and multimedia technology to the desktop. This informal BOF will offer discussion on new and emerging multimedia technologies and their potential impact on corporate, agency and campus networks. Compression technologies, traffic characteristics, multimedia workstations, network standards activity and other issues will be presented. Come prepared to participate in lively discussion and debate on this important topic.

Dear Colleagues, at the last RIPE meeting we decided that a review of the first year of operations of the RIPE NCC should take place. It was also decided that the review panel would initially consist of: o the RIPE Chairs o the RIPE WG Chairs o the RIPE NCC Manager The review is open to any RIPE participant, but the above mentioned persons are explicitly tasked to do some work. The work will consist in evaluating the first 12 months of operations of the RIPE NCC. In order to do this in a structured way, the following documents serve as mandatory reading material: o ripe-35 RIPE NCC Activity Plan o ripe-62 RIPE NCC Quarterly report Issue 1 o ripe-73 RIPE NCC Quarterly report Issue 2 o ripe-79 RIPE NCC Quarterly report Issue 3 o ripe-87 RIPE NCC Quarterly report Issue 4 The result of this exercise will be a report stating o which activities have been succesfully implemented o which activities are behind schedule o which activities have been taken up, though they were not foreseen in the original activity plan o conclusions The intended time schedule for this work is to have a report ready by the end of June. In order to facilitate an orderly discussion, a distribution list has been created at the RIPE NCC: ncc-review(a)ripe.net To be put on the list, send mail to ncc-review-request(a)ripe.net Thank you for your cooperation, greetings, Rob Blokzijl

Amsterdam IETF Social Event update
by Erik Huizer 02 Jun '93

02 Jun '93

Registrations for the Trainride through The Netherlands have been overwhelming. Fortunately we managed to get an additional coach on the Train, so we can accomodate 225 people. Digital Equipment Netherlands has acted on this as an additional sponsor to SURFnet bv and RARE. The first 225 people to register have had a confirmation by now. We have a waiting list of max. 40 people who are allowed to fill in places that have not been occupied (i.e. people who have not picked up their tickets) by noon 12th july (monday). There are currently 17 people on the waiting list, so there is still room (send mail to <train(a)rare.nl>). Anne Cozanet (RARE) Erik Huizer (SURFnet bv)

IPng: PIP Demonstrations/Participants
by dixon＠rare.nl 28 May '93

28 May '93

I've received the following via Zheng Wang at UCL, regarding PIP. Anyone interested, please contact Zheng directly at Z.Wang(a)cs.ucl.ac.uk. Tim ----------------------------------- * From: francis(a)com.bellcore.thumper (Paul Francis \(formerly Paul Tsuchiya) * To: j.crowcroft(a)uk.ac.ucl.cs * Subject: installing pip....? * Cc: z.wang(a)uk.ac.ucl.cs * * Hi Jon, * * We want to install a number of Pip hosts and routers * around the internet so that we can 1) show a nice * map of Pip infrastructure in Amsterdam, and 2) genuinely * start playing with transition. * * I'm assuming that you can bring up one or two Pip hosts * like you did before, but I'd like to ask if you have a * few friends in UK or The Continent that would also care * to participate..... * * The following outlines what we have in mind...... * * Thanks, * * PX * * ________ * * * We are interested in starting to populate the IP * internet with a number of Pip systems. This will * allow us to start experimenting with various aspects * of Pip, particularly with transition from IP to Pip. * * Pip is one of the contenders for replacement of IP. * IP is suffering from lack of addresses and scaling * problems in routing. Pip's virtues are that it has * new routing features such as provider selection, is * easier to administer than IP or the other proposals, * switches fast, and can more easily evolve over time * to new functionality. This evolvability will allow * us to install real-time flows as they are developed. * * To read about Pip, see the May 1993 issue of IEEE * Network magazine. You can retrieve that article * from thumper.bellcore.com:pub/tsuchiya/pip/ieeeNet.ps. * Additional reading can be found in the internet draft * repositories, especially draft-ietf-pip-processing-01.txt * and draft-ietf-pip-architecture-00.txt. * * We are initially looking for a small number of "friendly" * sites for initial experimentation. As we gain experience, * we will be open to anyone who wants to participate. * * Pip transition involves creating a logical Pip * infrastructure by tunneling over IP. It also involves * translating between Pip and IP, for when a Pip hosts * talk with IP hosts. Thus, your Pip host will be able * to communicate with any IP host--you won't even know that * it is a Pip host (unless you want to play with its * provider selection feature). The tunneling puts Pip * over IP with IP protocol number 4 (which means IP over * IP). Thus, your border gateway filtering will have to allow * these packets to pass through. * * The main purpose of the initial experiment is to play * with our configuration software and make sure that we * can successfully create a Pip infrastructure. * * Our software runs on Sun Sparcs running SunOS 4.1.2. * We are flexible as to the extent of your involvement. If * you don't want to do anything, but can supply us with the * super-user password for your machine, we can do all of * the installation from here. Otherwise, we can supply you * with the binary, configuration files, and installation * instructions. If you elect to install it, then you can * be expected to have to reboot the machine and bring in * new configuration files from time to time. We can * probably expect a couple of false starts, so you may have * to reboot several times in the first couple of weeks. * If possible, the super-user method is preferable to us. * * We hope to start installation around June 15. Before we * can start, we need to get commitments from participants, * design the logical topology, and generate the configuration * files. We can expect to start expanding the experiment * around August, and adding dynamic routing (thus eliminating * the need for static configuration) in October.
