RIPE DNS hostcount February 1994

Dear all, Please find below the (belated) RIPE DNS hostcount for February 1994. - Big increase like last month of over 36,000 (or 6.1%) to 623141. Similar to the last few months, a doubling in slightly over a year (322,902 in February 1993). - All output is again available at ftp.ripe.net:ripe/hostcount. The large output files have been gzipped this time, to save some disk space and network bandwidth. History again appended below. Cheers, -Marten PS The recipient of this mail has been changed to a group list which cannot be replied to.

Ebone continues
by Frode Greisen 28 Feb '94

28 Feb '94

24 February 1994 Press release ============= Ebone continues. At a meeting between the present partners in Ebone on 22 February a proposal worked out by Renater, ACOnet and ECRC for continuing Ebone after 1 July 1994 was discussed. The proposal is for a backbone with nodes in Paris and Vienna, and the intitial backbone will have a 512 kbps line from Vienna to Paris and a 1.5 Mbps line from Paris to the GIX in Washington. Upgrades are planned as the need arises. Ebone will continue to peer with NSFnet and other US networks and Ebone is negotiating peering agreements with EUnet and EMPB in order to secure good connectivity within Europe. Ebone will remain AUP free, ie. it will be open to all IP providers. Partners may connect either to Paris or to Vienna and due to the simplified backbone it is expected that the cost will be lower than for the present Ebone. At the meeting, research networks in nine countries stated their intention to join the new Ebone and others are invited to contact Ebone managements for more information. Christian Michau, Renater Frode Greisen, UNI-C Ebone chairman Ebone general manager <michau(a)urec.fr> <frode.greisen(a)uni-c.dk>

BOF Session at Networld+Interop 94 Berlin
by Dennis Jennings 28 Feb '94

28 Feb '94

Dear Colleagues, Perhaps this message may be of interest to those of you who plan to attend Networld+Interop 94 Berlin in June. Apologies in advance to those who may receive multiple postings. Dennis ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Birds of a Feather Sessions (BOFs) Networld+Interop 94 Berlin, 6-10, June, 1994. Birds of a Feather Sessions (BOFs) will provide Networld+Interop 94 Berlin 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 Networld+Interop 94 Berlin attendees, including Exhibition attendees, and no special registration is necessary. Examples of some BOF topics from INTEROP Europe 93 in Paris include: o Network Device Performance Testing o Frame Relay Applications in Europe o Transoceanic ATM Service o Open Services Standards o Resource Reservations Protocols o Experience with Extended IP Protocols - Response to the "Address-Space Explosion" o Network Security - Current Problems and Issues o Using Facsimile Devices around the World as Remote Printers o Delivering a Common Communications API for Client-Server Development o Quality of Service (QOS) in ATM Networks o Fibre Channel, Fibre Channel Systems Initiative To suggest a topic for a BOF at Networld+Interop 94 Berlin, 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 +353-1-490 4845, or send an e-mail message to DJennings(a)Interop.Com. To be included in the Networld+Interop 94 Berlin Final Programme, BOF Proposals must be received no later that Thursday, 31 March, 1994. However, there are only a few BOF session time slots available in Berlin 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: Resource Reservation Protocols ------------------------------ Several new classes of distributed applications have recently been developed, such as remote video, multimedia conferencing, data fusion, visualisation, and virtual reality. It is becoming increasingly clear that the Internet's primitive service model in inadequate for these new applications. In recent years there has been a flurry of activity devoted to the development of new network architectures and service models to accommodate these new applications requirements. One of the key components of any such architecture is Resource Reservation. In this BOF we will discuss requirements for resource reservation, and describe some of the existing and proposed protocols (e.g. ST-II and RSVP).

Juan Quemada =================================================================== SS'94 Second International Summer School on Advanced Broadband Communications July 11-15 1994 =================================================================== After the success of the "First International Summer School on Advanced Broadband Communications - Towards ABC" distributed between Aveiro (Central Site) and Madrid in July 93, RACE Project BRAIN is pleased to announce its ``Second International Summer School on Advanced Broadband Communications" to take place from 11th to 15th July 1994. This year the School will be distributed to at least four different and geographically distant sites and will constitute a unique event joining a thorough presentation of ABC (Advanced Broadband Communications) with it's real use and demonstration. It will include tutorials, in depth lectures, panels and active syndicate sessions covering the most relevant topics of ABC. Among others: - Cell based technologies (ATM, Frame Relay, SMDS). - Access Networks: Mobility, LANs, ATM, ... - Network interconnection. - Corporate and Virtual Private Networks. - Cost Modeling. - Systems Engineering and ABC. - Management of ABC Systems. - Multimedia Interfaces and Applications. - Entertainment and ABC. Most important, the 1994 Summer School itself will be a demonstration of ATM based broadband communications, applications and services were the results from different RACE projects will be shown in real operation. The 1994 Summer School will be a distributed event where a multimedia CSCW (Computer Supported Cooperative Work) tele-education application will join the lecture rooms of the different physical sites into a unique virtual lecture room such that lecturers and participants loose the sense of physical separation and work together with full interaction. At least, the following sites will join SS'94: - ETSI Telecomunicacion, Madrid-Spain (Central Site) - University of Aveiro, Aveiro-Portugal - CET, Aveiro-Portugal - TIDSA, Madrid-Spain Feasibility studies are underway for incorporating more sites. Existing trans-national ATM links connecting European Broadband Islands provide the necessary communication infrastructure for SS'94. This will require a complex collaboration between several projects most of them belonging to the RACE program. For example, the ISABEL-IBER projects will provide the RIA (Aveiro-Portugal) and RECIBA (Madrid-Spain) Broadband Islands interconnection, thus supplying the core infrastructure of SS'94. In addition, feasibility studies are underway with RACE Projects CATALYST, EXPLOIT and BETEUS and with the Spanish Tele-education project ETSIT for interconnecting more sites in Switzerland, France, Germany and Spain.

RIPE 17 actions status report
by Anne Lord 16 Feb '94

16 Feb '94

Below is the list of action items from the RIPE meeting (and previously). The actions are grouped into two different categories: "Done" and "Open". If you are on the list with an action against your name, would you please reply confirming the status of that action : ie. whether it has been "Done" (hopefully) or whether it is still "Open", with an expected approx date for completion, if possible. This list is in response to a number of requests from people for more support and continuity of work items between meetings. It will be sent to the list once a month - the next list will be generated mid March. I hope it helps! Anne Action List =========== 1.
