Looking for sites interested in hosting a test-box
by Henk Uijterwaal (RIPE-NCC) 14 May '98

14 May '98

Dear colleagues, The Test-Traffic Project group is pleased to announce that 20 test-boxes have been built and are ready to be installed at topologically interesting places around Europe. These test-boxes measure the delays on the network by sending time-stamped packets to each other. More information about the Test-Traffic Project can be found on the home-page of the Test-Traffic Project at http://www.ripe.net/test-traffic. If you are interested in hosting a test-box, please start by reading the RIPE documents 168 (version 2.0) and 179, which should contain everything that you need to know about hosting a test-box at your site. Both documents are available from the Test Traffic project home-page. If your site can meet all requirements, please fill out the application form at http://www.ripe.net/test-traffic/host_testbox.html. If anything is unclear or if your site is interested in hosting a test-box but cannot meet all requirements, do not hesitate to contact us. If you have already expressed interest in hosting a test-box, please fill out the form too. It is our goal to distribute the test-boxes amongst topologically interesting places, while at the same time keeping the location of the test-boxes manageable from an operational point of view. Also note that the number of test-boxes is limited and that the project is still in a pilot phase. This means that we may decide that we will not install a test-box at your site even though you applied for one. There is no deadline for applying. We plan to review all applications in the week after Easter (April 12) and let the interested sites know which sites will receive a test-box. We will continue to accept applications until all test-boxes have been installed. Kind regards, Henk Uijterwaal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Henk Uijterwaal Email: henk.uijterwaal(a)ripe.net RIPE Network Coordination Centre WWW: http://www.ripe.net/home/henk Singel 258 Phone: +31.20.535-4414, Fax -4445 1016 AB Amsterdam Home: +31.20.4195305 The Netherlands Pager: +6.57626855 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ %DCL-E-NOCFFE, unable to locate coffee - keyboard input suspended.

The Cidr Report
by Tony Bates 27 Mar '98

27 Mar '98

This is an auto-generated mail on Fri Mar 27 12:00:00 PST 1998 It is not checked before it leaves my workstation. However, hopefully you will find this report interesting and will take the time to look through this to see if you can improve the amount of aggregation you perform. The report is split into sections: 0) General Status List the route table history for the last week, list any possibly bogus routes seen and give some status on ASes. 1) Gains by aggregating at the origin AS level This lists the "Top 30" players who if they decided to aggregate their announced classful prefixes at the origin AS level could make a significant difference in the reduction of the current size of the Internet routing table. This calculation does not take into account the inclusion of holes when forming an aggregate so it is possible even larger reduction should be possible. 2) Weekly Delta A summary of the last weeks changes in terms of withdrawn and added routes. Please note that this is only a snapshot but does give some indication of ASes participating in CIDR. Clearly, it is generally a good thing to see a large amont of withdrawls. 3) Interesting aggregates Interesting here means not an aggregate made as a set of classful routes. Thanks to xara.net for giving me access to their routing tables once a day. Please send any comments about this report directly to me.
