Dear colleagues,
During the RIPE 39 Meeting in Bologna, an "IP Requests Tutorial" will
be held on Friday, 4th May, 14-17 PM.
The "IP Requests Tutorial" contains selected sections of the LIR
Training course that RIPE NCC provides to its members:
- How to Request Address Space
- Completing the Request Form
- Evaluation of Address Space Requests
- Registering Address Space in the RIPE Database
- How to Request New Allocation
Registration for this tutorial is not necessary. All RIPE meeting
participants are more than welcome to attend this tutorial.
The slides from the Tutorial will be shortly available at:

DISI and the deployment of DNSSEC on the reverse DNS tree.
----------------------------------------------------------
Abstract
The Deployment of Internet Security Infrastructure (DISI) project is a
new effort at the RIPE NCC. Within the context of DISI we will study,
raise awareness and support the use of protocols and techniques that
can make the Internet more secure and that need mutual effort of ISPs
to be successful.
Within the DISI project context we will concentrate on suitable
technologies and will try to get these technologies accepted and
implemented by ISPs. We will do so by raising awareness, providing
documentation, giving courses and, most important, giving and
receiving feedback on implementation experience at the RIPE NCC and at
the ISPs.
The first technology we are concentrating on is the deployment of DNS
Security on the reverse tree. We will describe what DNSSEC can do, why
DNSSEC is a mutual ISP effort and what DISI's deliverables are.

Dear All,
below is the hostcount for March 2001.
The table shows an increase since last month of over 470,000
(or 3,6%) to a total of almost 13,700,000 hosts in the DNS
in Europe and surrounding areas.
The ru domain shows the highest increase for March with
approximately 175,000 hosts more than in February.
Background information and more statistics are
available at
http://www.ripe.net/hostcount/
- Brief Notes on this Hostcount -
- the January, 2000 data had to be reused for uk due
to problems with co.uk. since that time.
- the February, 2001 data had to be reused for tr, il,
es, ch, li and fr due to an assortment of operational
problems.
- no new data could be collected for ci due to problems
with transfer of the top-level zone.
- Credits -
I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount
every month by running a local count:

Please see the following URL for his presentation.
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/archive/ripe-38/index.html
RIPE NCC Status Report
There have been as few staff changes:
- John Crain has left RIPE NCC and joined ICANN.
- Joao Damas has become Chief Technical Officer and is now responsible for
the engineering groups: Database, Software and Operations
Department.
- Nurani Nimpuno, the Registration Services manger, reports directly to Axel.
- Daniel Diaz has become the manager of the Operations Department.
- Olaf Kolkman, has joined the New Projects Group as Scientific Programmer.
Registration Services
The waitqueue is down to a level that may be considered normal. The week
before the RIPE meeting the wait was four days and on the Monday of the
meeting it was five days. Over Christmas it did shoot up again, but after
the holidays it went right back down.
At the RIPE 37 meeting the RIPE NCC introduced an IP tutorial at the end of
the week. As it was well attended, it will take place again at RIPE 38. Also
back by popular demand is the Hostmaster Centre.
This year the RIPE NCC is planning to do 50 LIR training courses. We have
found several dedicated trainers within the RIPE NCC who are a great addition
to the existing training team.
The RIPE NCC has new staff in the Registration Services department.
Recruiting more employees to guard against a sudden rise of the waitqueue
will still continue.
There is still a steady growth in the number of LIRs. Most of the growth is
in Europe and Central Asia with nearly 800 new LIRs in 2000. The middle East
had 30 and the African region had 8 new LIRs in 2000.
Address Space Usage
The RIPE NCC has allocated more address space over the last months than in
previous months. Even though this is not an immediate threat, Axel explained
that the RIPE NCC will closely monitor this.
Consumption Rates
There is quite an increase in consumption between 1999 and 2000. The RIPE NCC
has not found particular reasons for this increase. This will be closely
monitored by the RIPE NCC and co-ordinated with the other RIRs.
IPv6
There is activity, but it is still fairly slow. Germany and Sweden are the
most active to date. The RIPE NCC has allocated approximately double the
amount of IPv6 address space to commercial companies than it has to academic
organisations.
Achievements within Registration Services
- RIPE NCC is giving some direct attention to correctly filled out requests.
- More responsibility is put on the LIRs to fill out the requests properly.
- The helpdesk, lir-help(a)ripe.net is used for general questions preventing
these questions from being queued together with Internet resource requests.
- The RIPE NCC tools have been continually updated.
- The FAQ continues to be updated.
- The RIPE NCC has worked on a form that will succeed RIPE-141.
Our priorities are:
- to continue to increase the staff in the Registration Services department.
This is to ensure that the waitqueue remains at an acceptable level.
- Build more tools to improve the service.
Database
Version 3.0 of the RIPE database will be launched in April 2001. The main
change is the introduction of RPSL.
New Projects
The Test Traffic Measurements service is now available to the entire community.New hardware is easy to install. Axel expects substantial growth in the
number of boxes that are distributed. Brochures have been designed and each
attendee has received one in his/her package.
Routing Information Service
Currently two route collectors in operation. Two additional collectors are
planned. Results and statistics are available at:
http://www.ripe.net/ris/ris-index.html
The PAM2001 workshop will be hosted in April 2001 in Amsterdam.
Registration is open.
In October, the general meeting of the RIPE NCC association was held. The
members approved the financial figures for 1999 and the budget and activity
plan for 2001. The RIPE NCC Executive board remains unchanged as Frode Greisen was re-elected to the Board during the AGM 2000.
Communications
- 50 training courses are planned for 2001
- Outreach activities / RIPE NCC awareness
- ENUM
ICANN ASO
As the ASO secretariat function rotates among the RIRs, for the year 2001 the
ASO secretariat will be located at the RIPE NCC. This includes the website,
the hosting of the AC telephone conferences and general administrative tasks.
Co-ordination between RIRs
Axel welcomed staff from ARIN, LACNIC and APNIC.
A small retreat has been planned again this year.
RIPE NCC short term goals:
- the migration to the new database
- adding resilience to Registration Services
- enlargement TTM network
- finalising contract with ICANN
RIPE NCC priorities:
- Ensure and further improve stable, reliable and high quality services
- Respond to members' needs and develop and propose services as needed
- Further increase RIPE NCC and RIPE awareness
Questions:
Christian Panigl: Do you have any statistics on how many LIRs have left during the last years?
Axel: We will have more data during the next meeting. We want to focus more on providing general statistics.
6. DISI, a new project at the RIPE NCC
Henk Uijterwaal gave a presentation on DISI.
The slides can be found on:
www.ripe.net/disi
DISI stands for Deployment of Internet Security Infrastructures.
What is the purpose of DISI:
- Security technologies need to be deployed in the Internet infrastructure
and its operations.
- Some of those technologies need to be deployed in a co-ordinated way to be
effective at all.
Goals:
- DISI will help to deploy existing security technologies within the RIPE NCC
and its operations to the outside world (i.e. PGP and DNSsec)
- DISI will document deployment experiences of security technologies
- DISI will assist the RIPE community in deployment of security technologies
- DISI will co-ordinate deployment and operation of security technologies
where necessary
We may set up training courses to help the community use these tools, not
unlike the LIR training courses.
Initial focus:
- DNSsec
- Deployment on the in-addr tree
- Deployment assistance
- Implementation of PGP in communication between hostmasters and LIRs: "PGP4HM"
- Public Key Infrastructure
- Implementation of PGP in communication with HMs and LIRs: PGP4HM
- Applicability of PKI in RIPE/RIPE NCC context
Progress so far:
- RIPE 36 first ideas
- Summer 2000
- Hire Scientific Programmer to lead this effort
- Proposal in the Activity Plan 2001
Plans:
- April 2001: Draft Project Proposal
- May 2001/RIPE 39: BOF
- Securing the in-addr tree
- DNSsec implementation
- Public Key Infrastructure
- Finish PGP4HM Project
- RIPE document describing the implementation
- Applicability statement
- White paper on "how to use this in your organisation"
Contact Information
- Internal email alias: disi(a)ripe.net

10. Election of AC member
The term of Sabine Jaume expired in December 2000. The RIPE NCC issued a
public Call for Nominations to fill the vacant seat on the Address Council.
There were three candidates nominated for the AC elections: Sabine Jaume,
Khaled Moh'd Abu Mallouh and Francesco Ravanelli. Sabine was the only
candidate in attendence. She introduced herself.
This is the result of the election:
Sabine Jaume - 147
Khaled Moh'd Abu Mallouh - 1
Francesco Ravanelli - 5
Blank votes - 2
11. AS Number Exhaustion (Scott Marcus)
Please see the presentation at:
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/archive/ripe-38/index.html
12. Report from ICANN (Andrew McLaughlin)
Andrew introduced John Crain as the new Technical Manager at ICANN and
provided a status update.
Questions:
Fay Howard - During the presentation from people proposing to run a new
registry in Brussels recently, some of them mentioned they were making a
voluntary reservation in the second level of two letter codes. Others said
they were in negotiations with ICANN. Has ICANN got a policy on this issue?
Andrew - There are no hard and fast rules on this issue.
Wilfried Woeber - We recently had to resolve the problem of duplicate names
in the small backyard of a Local Registry. It is difficult to make those
names unique. Does anybody have a good idea on how to solve this problem?
Andrew - You want to take a look at the .name proposal on the ICANN website.

regard to use in Internet Exchanges. Draft version should be available on
EIX-WG mailing list next week. Comments invited
2. IXP BCP - Nic Lewis
A document to assist the IXP operators in running IXPs, and hence help ISPs
wishing to connect to IXPs. It was noted that there are many aspects to this
document, some of which may not fit as part of a BCP, and it was suggested
that the work be documented and broken down into several BCPs, FYIs FAQs as
appropriate.
ACTION: to circulate an initial breakdown of the document(s) on EIX-WG
Mailing list for discussion
Comments asked from the community as to whether this was valuable work since
it was turning into a wider project than originally scoped. Community agreed
that it was

Anti spam
Chair: Rodney Tillotson
Scribe: Dave Wilson
Attendees: about 40
Europe is quite good about spam. Need to make some difference elsewhere.
Spamwhack http://www.spamwhack.com/
Track down spammers to individual people so that further action
(i.e. lawsuits) could be taken if necessary. The service keeps anonymised
checksum info on customer information provided on sign up.
Developments on spam
Little change
UUNET dialups the biggest source. China, Korea, Japan increasing.
Need active and relevant contacts in both places; will contact APNIC and some
Far East CERTs, and UUNET's IRT.
Collateral spam.
Actual user addresses being used as from: or Reply to: forged in spam.
Developments in spam
No news
Open Relay Products
Nothing has changed very much. Exchange 5.5 ships relaying, you have to apply
SP2 and then secure for relay. RIPE-206 BCP specifies relationships with your
customers to enforce anti-relaying. Almost superfluous in the RIPE community.
Discussion of open relay scanning and testing products, to be forwarded after
meeting.
Advise
OPT-IN lists (work item) Advise for well-meaning bulk marketers, establishing
what is good practice for direct mail. Will follow LINX BCP
(coming soon; http://www.ja.net/mail/juk/save/lists.html is broadly similar).
Marketers are the key audience, but they have opt-OUT tradition.
Report spam
Very few people report every single piece of spam they get. SpamCop will help
them but is not ideal. Some evidence that ISPs take reports more seriously if
they come from another ISP's abuse address.
Response to spam reports
Usually you hear nothing from the remote ISP; this doesn't mean they've done
nothing, but it's hard to encourage our customers. The major (US) ISPs could
do forensic work tracking down abusive individuals and, perhaps, taking legal
action.
Techical measures
Signed messages or headers - hard to deploy Hashbusters seen - spam with
gibberish characters on a line at the end or at the end of the subject line
to try to beat checksum filtering.
Port 25 (587) blocking - most IPSs prefer not to do this. UUNET?
SMTP authentication - reported as not being difficult.
POP-before-SMTP also simple and valuable.
We should keep a list of contributed URLs on the RIPE NCC web as a central
resource of email security.
Advice on reading mail headers (work item)
Ongoing; contributions still welcome.
What are we actually doing?
Should we describe the work of this group in more aggressive terms? Europe is
fixing a problem it hasn't got; we need a broader consensus, including US ISPs. The other RIRs also need a platform to support this kind of work in their
meetings. Considering adapting RIPE-206 to make it look more like a policy
which we might encourage RIRs to accept. Follow up on the list.
Might the RIPE NCC run its own RBL containing only RIPE addresses? Certainly
not at this stage and probably not at all. However, it is a reminder of the
second part of the WG charter, to produce a European mail abuse response
centre.

Test Traffic
Chair: Keith Godber
Scribe: Rene Wilhelm
Attendees: 50
TT boxes production service
Since 10.10.00
46 boxes
30 active
5 new boxes
The ease of setting up a test-box was demonstrated at RIPE 38 and only took
34 minutes to set-up.
Future plans
- Bandwith analysis
- Trends
There were no questions.
Netnews
Chair: Dave Wilson
Scribe: Felix Kugler
Attendees: 30
NHNS (Daniel Diaz)
Daniel has submitted an Internet Draft about the NHNS system to the IETF.
[1] is an individual publication and valid until April 2001. So far only one
comment was received concerning the draft.
Setup of the public NHNS cloud:
* primary nameserver for usenet.nhns.net hosted by Satec (ES)
* secondary nameserver hosted by Dave Wilson, HeaNet (IE)
All info about NHNS is available on [2]http://nh.nhns.net.
Next steps:
* move primary nameserver to a RIPE platform and restart the public
pilot
* rewrite some of the tools, especially the dynamic update script
* update the Internet draft
* strive towards an operational, stable service
Flowmaps (Kai Siering)
No progress since RIPE-37 meeting.
The flowmaps software is available for download on
[3]http://newsbone.uu.org/RIPE-38, example pictures can be found there
as well.
The tool requires "inpath"-like raw data collected on a news server.
Visualisation is done using Cyclic software. Processing one day of
data needs approx. 10 minutes on a modern Pentium hardware. Real time
visualisation would require a dedicated, very fast machine.
Visualisation features:
* 3D-view of news flows around the target machine where the raw data
was collected
* zoom in/out
* change viewpoint
* nodes and links are clickable, small windows pop up showing
details
It seems valuable to be able to visualise traffic volume instead of the
number of articles in future. Other suggestions and comments from test users
regarding new features are welcome.
