RIPE 24 meeting - information about getting visa
by RIPE NCC Staff 20 Mar '96

20 Mar '96

Dear RIPE meeting attendees, This letter is intended for all of you who need visa to come to Germany for the 24th RIPE meeting. Since getting visa takes generally more time then one expects I would suggest you apply for a visa as fast as possible. On request, we can send you an invitation. If you want us to send an invitation, please tell us how many days and which days you are planning to stay. If, after the RIPE meeting, you want to stay some additional days we can invite you for some 'technical meetings' after the RIPE meeting ;-). Furthermore, please give also your full name, birth date and passport number. If we mention these data in our invitation to you, it could facilitate getting visa. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to contact us, preferrably at <ncc(a)ripe.net>. Kind Regards, Roderik Muit RIPE NCC

complete hostcount for February 1996
by Mirjam Kuehne 15 Mar '96

15 Mar '96

Dear all, Here is the complete hostcount for February 1996. I am sorry for the delay. The table shows an increase since last month of more than 120,000 (or 5.3%) to a total of more than 2,406,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe. The UK shows the highest increase for February with more than 24,000 hosts more than in January (Hence, my assumption was wrong that DE would make it this month :-). As I mentioned in my previous mail SM (San Marino) is a new zone and will from now on be inlcuded every month in the hostcount. The hostcount can also be found under ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/hostcount. The graphical version of the hostcount can be found at ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/hostcount/RIPE-Hostcount-{Mo,Qu}.eps The translation of the country codes can be found at ftp://ftp.ripe.net/iso3166-countrycodes I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount every month by counting hosts locally: at Gerhard Winkler <winkler(a)cc.univie.ac.at> be Herman Moons <Herman.Moons(a)CS.kuleuven.ac.be> ch Christoph Graf <graf(a)chx400.switch.ch> cy Panagiotis Tzounakis <pj(a)ics.forth.gr> cz Jiri Orsag <Jiri.Orsag(a)eunet.cz> de Peter Koch <pk(a)TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> dk Robert Martin-Legene <robert(a)dknet.dk> es Jose Sanchez-Seco <jose.sanchez(a)rediris.es> fi Petri Ojala <ojala(a)eunet.fi> fr Annie Renard <Annie.Renard(a)inria.fr> gr Panagiotis Tzounakis <pj(a)ics.forth.gr> hr Ivan Maric <Ivan.Maric(a)stribor.srce.hr> hu Gabor Kiss <kissg(a)sztaki.hu> ie Mike Norris <mnorris(a)dalkey.hea.ie> il Sason Levi <sason(a)NetVision.net.il> it Antonio_Blasco Bonito <bonito(a)nis.garr.it> no Havard Eidnes <Havard.Eidnes(a)runit.sintef.no> pl Irek Neska <irek(a)nask.pl> pt Graca Carvalho <fccn(a)dns.pt> ru Andrey Dobrotsvetov <adbr(a)argo.net.kiae.su> sk Ivan Lescak <Ivan.Lescak(a)Slovakia.EU.net> Lubos Elias <Lubos.Elias(a)uakom.sk> sm Antonio_Blasco Bonito <bonito(a)nis.garr.it> tr Yener Yigit <yener(a)knidos.cc.metu.edu.tr> uk Kevin Hoadley <K.Hoadley(a)nosc.ja.net> If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Updating the priorities for Telematics for Research
by WINTLEV-JENSEN Peter 07 Mar '96

07 Mar '96

There is a need to assess the priorities for the future calls of the Telematics for Research Sector of the EU TELEMATICS APPLICATIONS Research and Technology Development Programme (URL: http://www.echo.lu/telematics/telehome.html) The technical evolution is moving very rapidly and the increasing commercialisation of the Internet technologies adds additional complexity to the setting of priorities for this sector. The main objective is still to promote the development, deployment and utilisation of telematics services and applications for European researchers in order to increase the possibility for collaboration and the overall cost-effectiveness of research. However, it needs to be ensured that EU support is adding value to existing and planned initiatives in this domain, whether funded from national public or commercial sources. Therefore a consultation should allow for an open framework for ideas and suggestions from all actors within the Telematics for Research sector of the programme. We would like to invite you to participate in this and ask you to recommend priorities for future calls for proposals in order to ensure that the available remaining EU funding in this sector can be used in the best possible way with a view to meeting the overall objectives of the initiative. The objective of this exercise is to obtain input for the future evolution of Telematics for Research and correlate this with the existing workplan for the sector, with a view to assigning priorities across the different work sectors. It is not expected that the existing workplan needs to be modified. The main objective will rather be to identify specific RTD topics, within the context of the existing workplan, which have emerged since the previous call and which would be complimentary to the activities of the projects which have already been launched. A small report will be produced which will act as a guide for future proposers and which will also be used as background information for the evaluators used in the evaluation of proposals. The assignment of priorities must be achieved with active participation and consultation of the Telematics for Research sector actors, including user representatives. The report should contain recommendations for priorities relating to the existing tasks within the workplan and identification of new areas of work within the overall scope of the workplan, which should be addressed in the future calls. This should be done while taking into account the current situation,including both EU and non-EU funded activities, and in close consultation with the research community. At URL: http://www.scimitar.terena.nl/ you will find further information about the Telematics for Research initiative and this exercise.

Amsterdam Internet Exchange
by Boudewijn Nederkoorn 22 Feb '96

22 Feb '96

The Amsterdam Internet Exchange: the place to interconnect The Amsterdam Internet Exchange (AMS-IX) is a historical place for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to interconnect. The AMS-IX is used by ISPs to exchange traffic with each other at a national or international level. In order to accomodate the growing number of ISPs looking for interconnection at the AMS-IX services are being restructured. In addition to the currently supported ethernet connections, switched ethernet and FDDI facilities are being introduced. Any ISP with an arrangement for traffic exchange with any of the ISPs already connected to the AMS-IX can connect to the AMS-IX. The Internet Service Providers that are currently connected to the Amsterdam Internet Exchange are: Ebone, EuropaNET, EUnet, NLnet and SURFnet. Several other ISPs are currently in the process of becoming connected to the Amsterdam Internet Exchange. Since the end of 1993 the forerunner of the AMS-IX is in use, better known as "IBR-LAN". This ethernet spans the computer rooms of SARA, CWI and NIKHEF, all located in Watergraafsmeer in Amsterdam. As of February 1994 the Amsterdam Internet Exchange was formally established. Due to the growing of the Internet and, hence, the growing number of ISPs looking for an interconnection point that meets todays quality standards, new technology such as switched ethernet and FDDI is introduced for the Amsterdam Internet Exchange. Through the use of the new technology inside the AMS-IX, new connections can be accomodated for at the location of the layer-2 equipment which is at SARA. More information (e.g. about costs) can be found via WWW at the URL: http://www.ams-ix.net/ Do you have questions? Please contact: SURFnet bv Network Services P.O.
