This is an auto-generated mail on Fri Jun 12 12:00:00 PDT 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is possible even larger reduction should be possible. 2) Weekly Delta A summary of the last weeks changes in terms of withdrawn and added routes.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.

Investor oriented addresses; 300,000... E-Mail addresses sorted by city; 200,000... General consumer lists; 290,000 Email addresses of those interested in Health; 230,000... and over 150,000 Food Enthusiasts!!

We have also included a remove/undeliverable list that's over 100 meg in size!! We have already cleaned the addresses on the Master Marketer Resource CD using this massive remove file... they are ready to mail right now. As A Special Bonus... In addition to the email addresses... we have also included on the CD over 30 CGI Scripts (one will hide where your mail is being sent to on your order forms - must have for taking orders). There are forum scripts, chat scripts and just about any other cgi script you will ever need. We have also included over 50 java scripts! Many are scripts for adding rotating banners to your site, adding scrolling ticker and marque messages and scripts that password protect a page on your web site. We have also included demos of over 15 of the top bulk email programs on the Internet. Stealth, Rapid Fire, NetContact and many more! We have also included demo's of email address harvesters like Hurricane, Grabber and Atomic Harvestor that let you extract fresh email addresses out of forums and right out of web pages. There is much more on the CD than we can go into on a short letter like this one (there is over 10 html editors, over 200 marketing reports and more). In all... in addition to the bulk email and html editors... there is over 20 of the top software programs on the Internet. From programs that keep you connected to the Internet... to programs that let you accept checks online (this one is a registered version)!

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.

This is an auto-generated mail on Fri May 15 12:00:00 PDT 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.

RPSL phase ii at RIPE NCC
by Joao Luis Silva Damas 15 May '98

15 May '98

The RIPE NCC is now running a version of the RIPE DB code modified by ISI to support RPSL. The server is running in the configuration specified by Phase II in the "RIPE-181 to RPSL transition plan" (ftp://ftp.ripe.net/internet-drafts/draft-ie tf-rps-transition-02.txt) This phase of the transition plan aims to allow users to get familiar with at least part of RPSL while keeping RIPE 181 as the language in the production database. It is essentially an experimentation phase. (Note: Due to a problem in the interaction between the real-time mirroring in the RPSL version of the code and the production database, synchronization of the two databases is currently done only once a day (during the night). This will be fixed soon. ) Phase ii info ------------- whois host: rpslii.ripe.net port: 43 e-mail updates: auto-rpsl(a)ripe.net (only aut-num objects in phase ii) humans: ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net Updates other than to aut-num objects will fail with the following error message: *ERROR*: unknown object type in RIPE registry Please send questions, comments, etc to ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net Joao Damas RIPE NCC

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.
