Name Change of General RIPE Mailing List
by Daniel Karrenberg 05 Jan '93

05 Jan '93

Dear Colleagues, a happy and successfull 1993 to you all! In 1992 it has happened more than once that an unsuspecting person sent a message which was intended for the RIPE chairpeople or the NCC to this whole list. Therefore we have decided that the name of the list for 1993 (and thereafter, funding permitting :-) shall be ripe-list(a)ripe.net and ripe(a)ripe.net will henceforth point to the duty mail person at the NCC. Any messages recieved here wich are clearly intended for the list will be forwarded of course. According to Internet custom the address for administrative requests concering the list is: ripe-list-request(a)ripe.net. The list is still unmoderated and we still encourage you to keep the volume of messages on this general list to a minimum by using more specific mailing lists where appropriate. To this end here is the list of current lists @ripe.net: chair RIPE chairpeople db-wg RIPE Database working group dns-wg DNS working group ip-provs List of IP service providers used exclusively to forward requests for service. local-ir Local Internet Registries maps-wg RIPE Mapping working group nidus-wg "Network Information Discovery and User Support" working group raec-wg "Relations between Academic, Educational and Commercial Networks" working group ripe-list the general RIPE mailing list ripe-op network operators ripe-org attendees of (past) RIPE meetings This list is included in ripe-list! routing-wg the Routing working group Again all the best for this year from the NCC.

RIPE DNS Hostcount December 1992
by Marten Terpstra 04 Jan '93

04 Jan '93

Friends, First of all, best wishes for 1993 once more. Below the last hostcount for 1992. Not much comments, just that CS and FI went down a bit, probably due to unreachable nameservers. Overall a nice increase of 12,500 to over 284,000. We have some catching up to do to reach 300,000 at the next RIPE meeting. Again the entire history is appended below, and all the output files can be fetched again from ftp.ripe.net:ripe/hostcount Before I forget, anyone who wishes to have their hotel for the next RIPE meeting to be reserved by the people in Prague, should send in the registration form before the end of this week. Also people who arrange their own hotel, but will be present at the RIPE meeting should send in a line to meeting(a)ripe.net, so that we and the people in Prague have some estimate on the number of people that will attend for all logistics.

Happy New Year from IP connected Bulgaria

I guess we made it in 1992! Still not very reliable, but if you have some luck, you may try either Varna.BG.EU.net (134.222.7.2), or 192.92.129.1 (should be danbo.digsys.bg) some day soon... Best Wishes from Bulgaria! Daniel

Re: NSFnet stats
by Susan Horvath 28 Dec '92

28 Dec '92

Olivier, Yes, CA*NET and the CERN traffic to NSFNET were still on the T1 in November. We did register some data losses with the T3 traffic-by-network data in early November, but I suspect that most of the differences that you noted were due to the fact that much of the international traffic did not cross the T3 backbone. Even though the Country report is explicitly labelled as representing only the T3 traffic, I can understand the likelihood of misinterpretation and have removed the report from nic.merit.edu. The upcoming December report should be complete, and I don't expect any problems. If you find something that doesn't make sense, please let me know, and we'll try to track it down.

Re: NSFnet stats
by Mike Norris 26 Dec '92

I suspect Olivier is right. One of Ireland's two Internet gateways reports external traffic as 4.5 Gbytes for Nov 92; it is reckoned that most of this traffic is with and via NSFnet. Hank reports 1.6 Gbytes to and from Ireland, and this may not include some VMnet stuff, but Ireland's other gateway is for NetNews, which seems to average about 1 Gbyte a month or more. I hope you have had a happy Christmas and will have a prosperous new year. Cheers. Mike (voice: +353.1.612748)
