The following advertisement for jobs in DANTE is being circulated widely; apologies if you receive multiple copies. Please re-distribute it or post it on bulletin boards etc as you see fit. +++++ DANTE is a non-profit company set up by the national research networks of 15 European countries to provide them with international services. It is based in Cambridge, UK and currently has a staff of 10. DANTE's principal service is EuropaNET, a multi- protocol (IP, CLNS, X.25) backbone service with access points in 18 countries and 3.5 Mbps transatlantic capacity (to be increased to 10 Mbps in October 1994). DANTE is also active in providing applications services. It operates message handling, directory and SIG support services and has plans to start further information and security services shortly. DANTE now invites applications for posts in the following areas of its activities: Network Operations Applications Support Systems Administration and Support Network Operations: Almost all of DANTE's services, including the separate components of the EuropaNET service, are sub-contracted to specialist third party organisations. The role of operations staff within DANTE is to ensure that effective operational procedures are in place, to monitor the state of the network and to trace problems which are not being dealt with by routine procedures, to monitor the performance of the sub-contractors, to produce reports on the overall performance of services, and to act as a contact of last resort when problems are not being resolved by the sub-contractors. Operations staff work closely with Network Development staff who are responsible for planning extensions to EuropaNET and with staff who have responsibility for the technical content of applications services. Applications Support: DANTE's current applications services are the message handling service, the directory service which continues the services and developments initiated by PARADISE and SIG support. There are plans to introduce new services shortly in the areas of information and security. In all cases, technical initiative and service development is an important part of DANTE's function. A thorough understanding of current technology and of recent developments are required. Systems Administration and Support: DANTE operates a number of Unix and Macintosh systems to provide in- house support for the activities of its staff. A Systems Administrator with a strong Unix background is required to take responsibility for the management and administration of these systems, to deal with suppliers, and to provide first-line support to other members of staff. Although these functions have high priority, they are not expected to represent a full- time load. The Systems Administrator will therefore contribute in addition to network operations or to one of the applications services. Applications are invited for three posts in the areas described above. It is envisaged that one post will be dedicated to Network Operations, one to Applications Support, and that the third will be divided between Systems Administration and one of the other two areas. Candidates must be suitably qualified, they must be capable of showing initiative and of taking a leading role in their field of activity, and they must have recent experience in one or more of the following areas: IP Networking, Network Operations, X.500, Information Systems, Security Services, Systems Management. An understanding of the particular demands imposed by the international research networking community is essential. DANTE offers an interesting and attractive working environment as well as competitive salaries. Further information about DANTE is available from the Gopher server gopher.dante.net or from the address below. Applications, together with a CV, should be sent to arrive at DANTE's office by 31 July 1994. +++++ DANTE - APPLICATION FORM POST APPLIED FOR.....................................

tcpdump based traffic analysis package
by Olivier Martin 30 Jun '94

30 Jun '94

A new IP traffic analysis package based on tcpdump is available via anonymous ftp from dxcoms.cern.ch in directory: pub/ip-stats The package was developed by Cecile Martel from Eurecom Institute (Sophia Antipolis - France) while she was carrying out her end of studies diploma work at CERN. The package, a set of perl scripts and a modified version of tcpdump allowing to specify the sampling rate, has been successfully used in the Cern Internet eXchange Point (CIXP) environment to study the distribution of IP traffic on a TCP/UDP port basis over extended periods of time and is also very well suited to study the traffic exchanged between network providers connected to the same IXP. Here is the content of the README file: --------------------------------------- This package contains programs developped for an IP traffic study conducted at CERN (European Laboratory for Particle Physics, Geneva, Switzerland) during the first six month of 1994. CONTENTS: doc/ Documentation + uguide.ps, uguide.tex User's guide for the programs in the perl/ directory. The postscript file can be obtained by running LaTeX two times on uguide.tex. + rapport.ps, rapport.tar Complete report of CERN IP traffic study, in french. The postscript file can be obtained by restoring the LaTeX files (tar xvf rapport.tar) and then running LaTeX two times on file main.tex + slides.tar Slides used for presentations. Some of them in french, others in english. perl/ traffic analysis programs, in perl + SUMMARY.ENGL, SUMMARY.FR Brief explanation of each perl programm usage, in english and in french. + get_traf.pl, get_traf2.pl, get_n_pack.pl, get_n_pack2.pl, red_data.pl, red_data2.pl, red_data3.pl, red_data4.pl, red_data5.pl, red_data6.pl, ana_in_out.pl, ana_proto.pl, ana_top.pl, ana_top_src.pl, transip.pl Traffic analysis programs which use the output of tcpdump to compute traffic statistics.

Dear All, Lisbon is the "European Capital of Culture" this year, so I would advise everyone to book hotels and flights early. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ R I P E meeting announcement ============================ (This announcement can also be viewed using "finger meeting(a)ncc.ripe.net") This is to announce that the 19th RIPE meeting will take place: Dates: 12th September, 1994 Begin 14:00 13th September, 1994 14th September, 1994 End 16:00 Venue: University of Lisbon Faculty of Science Campo Grande, Building C3 1699 LISBON Codex Portugal Host: University of Lisbon, Faculty of Science Tel: +351 1 7500024 (direct line to Informatics Dept) Tel: +351 1 757 3141; +351 1 795 0790 Fax: +351 1 757 4312 Local organiser: Pedro Amorim Registration: Please use the registration form (which will follow in a separate mail) to give notice of your coming as soon as possible. General Information: -------------------- (at time of writing) Currency: 1 UK pound = 252$00 1 ECU = 198$00 1 US$ = 170$00 1 Hfl = 105$00 The Portugese currency unit is the escudo which is divided into 100 centravos. It is written with the $ sign in the middle: thus 100$50 is 100 `escudos' and fifty `centavos' NOTE: If you have a VISA card with PIN code or an EUROCHEQUE card you can withdraw money from an ATM machine in the airport (and also everywhere in the city). They belong all to the same network and so you can use these cards in any terminals. Hotels and most shops accept VISA, MASTERCARD and EUROCHEQUES; AMEX is not so widespread. Appended to this announcement: ------------------------------ <> directions to the meeting place Documents to follow (separate mail messages): --------------------------------------------- <> details of hotels in Lisbon close to meeting venue <> registration form for attendance at the meeting ================================================================== University of Lisbon - The RIPE meeting venue: How do I get there? ------------------------------------------------------------------ To ease any confusion, there is a postscript map of Lisbon can be found in the RIPE document store.

The fare is approximately 500$00. You will be charged extra for baggage. The trip to the RIPE meeting venue takes approx. 5-10 minutes, depending on the traffic. Taxis in Portugal are among the cheapest in Europe. <> Bus There are no direct buses from the airport to the C3 University Building, so a taxi is recommended.
