RIPE Region Hostcount for May 2000
by RIPE Hostcount Maintainer 19 Jun '00

19 Jun '00

Dear All, below is the hostcount for May 2000. The table shows an increase since last month of over 210,000 (or 1.9%) to a total of almost 11,400,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe and surrounding areas. The ru domain shows the highest increase for May with approximately 200,000 hosts more than in April. Background information and more statistics are available at http://www.ripe.net/hostcount/ - Brief Notes on this Hostcount - - the January data had to be resused for uk due to problems for the last four months with co.uk. - the April data had to be reused for ch due to hardware problems at the remote collector. - iq and lu had to be removed from the count this month, due to all top level servers denying zone transfers to the collecting machine. - Credits - I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount every month by running a local count: ad Joan Marc Lauga am Edgar D Danielyan at Gerhard Winkler be DNS-BE Registration Office ch Marcel Schneider cy Vasoula Papapetrou cz Jiri Orsag de Peter Koch dk Morten Christensen eg Network Operator es Susana Gayo.

ISP fee?
by Koen Breugelmans 21 May '00

21 May '00

Hello, I hope this is the right list for my question, otherwise please sent me a notice. I contacted my ISP (=Online in Belgium) for 4 IP addresses. Some months ago we got one fixed IP, but we need some more now. The 'commercial manager' of my ISP responded that I have to pay 3000Bfr/year (this is approx. 80$/year) for one IP. It already sounded very weird to me that they charged that fee for non-commercial groups like us, so I wondered if this is 1) legally 2) too much 3) fraud I can totally agree if they ask a one-time setup (registration cost) and perhaps some little annual costs, but this is just too much for us IMHO. Another thing I'd like to ask about: Everytime I want to order some new IP-addresses, my ISP says that they'll also have to change my old fixed IP's into new ones. Is this just a normal procedure, or is this some kind of backdoor to fraud? How can I check that my ISP registered those IP's under my name and contact, and not under their's?

PGP Keysigning BOF @ Ripe36
by Mathias Körber 16 May '00

16 May '00

We will have a PGP keysigning event at the Ripe 36 meeting. Please see http://www.koerber.org/ripe36 for details. Yes: I have just installed GPG 1.01 and should be able to handle GPG keys. Mathias Koerber PS: As I have not managed to get a reading software going, I would like to plead for 2 or 3 additional 'readers' to help read the keys out loud. These would only be required if we get more than 30 keys or so. They should have clear diction and a loud voice. The event will be on Thursdat at 17:00 after the plenary, before the buses pick us up for dinner.

04 May '00

** Apologies for duplicate messages ** Important Public Announcement CHANGES IN APNIC ADDRESS POLICY If you ingress filter on any of the following APNIC address ranges - 61/8, 202/7, or 210/7 - then please note the following important changes to APNIC address policy which were approved at the recent APNIC Member Meeting in March, in Seoul, Korea. * APNIC will lower its initial minimum allocation from a /19 to a /20 (this will apply across all address ranges held by APNIC). * APNIC will begin making allocations from network 61/8 as routine allocations from its total address pool. These policy changes will take effect three months from this announcement, on 4 August 2000. This email is intended to allow the ISP community sufficient advance notice to make any necessary filtering changes. For more detailed information on these proposals and decisions, or other discussion items, copies of presentations and discussion papers are available on the APNIC web site at http://www.apnic.net/amm2000/ .
