04 Jun '93

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.

Organisation at future RIPE meetings
by Anne Lord 27 May '93

27 May '93

Dear All, Below is my "plan" for improving the organisation of future RIPE meetings, which I hope will benefit everybody. Please read ! Thanks and best wishes, Anne -------------------------------------------------------------- Proposal to simplify minute taking at future RIPE meetings May 27th 1993 Anne Lord Four years ago the first RIPE meeting was held. At that meeting there were 14 participants and 9 agenda items. The meeting lasted one day. Since that meeting the size of RIPE meetings has continued to increase at every meeting. At the most recent meeting held at the end of April 1993, there were 65 participants and 18 agenda items (and one agenda item comprised 8 reports from different RIPE working groups). The meetings currently span 3 days. Whilst the rate of growth of the meetings has slowed down, the overall numbers still continue to increase. Clearly the task of maintaining the quality and timliness of the minutes as well as paying attention to the amount of paper generated has concomitantly become more difficult. My suggestions for improving the minutes follow below. 1. Presentations The presentations scheduled on the agenda generate the most paper. In previous versions of minutes, the full text of a presentation has been incorporated into the minutes. For this reason, all those persons scheduled on the agenda to give a presentation will be asked to submit, in electronic form, a SUMMARY of their presentation. The material submitted will be used directly in the minutes. The only editing carried out will be grammar and spelling checks. The deadline for submission will be the first day of the RIPE meeting. After which if nothing is received then there will be no substantive text incorporated into the minutes. Benefits: o There are three obvious benefits from this. Firstly the presenters themselves can decide what is important and necessary to be recorded in the minutes. o Following from this, it is likely that less paper will be used to summarise the presentation than was used for the actual presentation. o Finally, the minutes taker of the RIPE meeting can concentrate on noting the salient points of the question and answer sessions which follow the presentation. There is now a presentations directory in the RIPE document store (see Quarterly Report Doc id: ripe-87 for details). All those who would like to make their presentations publically available are invited to send them to <meeting(a)ripe.net> to be stored. This can also be done prior to the meeting. 2. Working Group Meetings On the second day of the meeting, each working group chairperson will receive an envelope containing a number of OHP slides, mark up pens, a reminder sheet and a working group attendee sign up sheet. The reminder sheet will remind the chairperson to : o ensure that there is someone taking the minutes at the meeting of their working group o ensure that the scribe submits the minutes before the deadline to the wg chairperson for them to edit and subsequently to mail electronically to <meeting(a)ripe.net>. There will be a deadline date for the submission of the minutes from the working group of 1 week after the meeting. The deadline will be tight and binding - if no report is received, then there will be no substantial text in the minutes covering the events of the wg meeting. Benefits: o the minute taker will relieve the load on those working group chairpersons who currently chair AND take the minutes, contributing towards a more focussed meeting. o the chairperson will have the editorial final say on the content of the working group minutes as the text received will only be checked for grammatical and spelling correctness and otherwise not edited in any way. Conclusion These are my draft plans for improving the timliness, quality and overall quantity of paper generated as "minutes" at future meetings. The ideas were drawn from analysing the most time consuming activities in compiling the minutes and how support to the working group chairs could be improved. On the former, a significant amount of time is spent analysing my notes for their technical accuracy. Having the summaries beforehand and the working group minutes mailed to me will shorten and simplify one of the most time consuming activities and will benefit everybody.

Amsterdam IETF Social event announcement
by Erik Huizer 24 May '93

24 May '93

AMSTERDAM IETF SOCIAL EVENT "Training through The Netherlands" 12 juli 1993 Summary -------- This is to announce the Amsterdam IETF Social event. IETF participants, their partners and their children are welcome. Note that participation is limited to 150 people, so register fast for this social and do it to the correct mailaddress: <train(a)rare.nl> any mail on this subject to any other mailbox will be ignored! Registrations should state Name, amount of people and if (any) vegetarian(s). Introduction ------------ There are three forms of transport that are characteristic for The Netherlands: - Boats; We have a long history as a sailing nation. - Bicycles; lots and lots of them. - Trains. One of the best countrywide infrastructures in the world, and it can barely cope. Of these the first is already often used for IETF social events, and is as such not very original. The second does not fit well with food, drinks and groupconversation, so we decided on the third. The Event --------- On monday night 12 July 1993, at 17:55 (that's 5:55 pm local time) a train especially reserved for this event will depart from RAI station for a trip around The Netherlands. Those who will be aboard will have a chance to see most of The Netherlands due to the fact that The Netherlands is relatively small, and the fact that in July, the sun does not disappear until 23:00 (11:00 pm). The train will take the following route (static routing) through The Netherlands: Amsterdam RAI-Weesp along the outskirts of Amsterdam, with some views of the IJsselmeer Weesp-Amersfoort along the beautifull village of Naarden (famous for it's old fort), the Gooise nature reserve and through the Gooise forrest. Amersfoort-Apeldoorn On to the Veluwe, forrests, moors and sanddunes Apeldoorn-Deventer Crossing the IJssel, one of the famous rivers Deventer-Arnhem Along the IJssel valley, typical Dutch picturesque views Arnhem-'s-Hertogenbosch Farmers country and so flat! 's-Hertogenbosch-Breda Southern villages Breda-Rotterdam The biggest port in the World. Some of it's most impressive architecture right alongside the tracks. Rotterdam-The Hague Seat of the Dutch Government, passes through Delft perhaps the most beautifull city in The Netherlands The Hague-Schiphol along the Tulip fields, alas they blossom in May Schiphol- Amsterdam RAI arrival at around 23:00 (11:00 pm). Food and Drinks --------------- Unfortunately, due to the holiday season we do not have the availabillity over enough Dining cars to serve warm food at tables. Therefore assorted food will be served on special plates. The view will certainly make up for the possible loss of quality in the food, and otherwise the drinks will. To make sure that drinking arrangements are optimal two Bar coaches will be available. Costs ----- This is a Dutch treat :-) Participation costs are 65 Dutch guilders per person (that is $ 35 at the current rate). This includes the traintrip, the food AND all the drinks. The 65 guilders are to be payed in cash (only!) at the Sunday Night IETF reception on the 11th of July, or the next morning before noon. After 12 July noon people on the Waiting list will be allowed to fill in the remaining places. Payment can be made at a special desk right beside the IETF registration Desk. Registration for the Social event --------------------------------- There are only 150 places available for IETF participants and their partners. The first 150 requests to arrive at the mailbox <train(a)rare.nl> will be awarded. All subsequent requests will be put on a waiting list. To register send mail to <train(a)rare.nl> stating your name, the amount of people (max 4) and whether any vegetarian food is required. Registration does mean a commitment to pay the 65 guilders per person! Once the limit of 150 participants is reached a list of people registered for the social event will be send out to ietf-announce. Sponsors -------- Of course a train rental is much more expensive than 65 guilders per person. The following sponsors have contributed to make it possible anyhow: SURFnet bv RARE ------ Erik Huizer SURFnet bv
