hostcount April 1995
by Mirjam Kuehne 04 May '95

04 May '95

Dear all, Here is the hostcount for April 1995. The table shows an increase since last month of almost 50,000 hosts (3.7%) to a total of almost 1,400,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe. This seems a bit low compared to the increase over the last two months. But remember the incident in the german domain in February. This domain is now stable and shows a reasonable increase in April. The nl domain with an increase of more than 15,000 hosts has the highest increase for April. The numbers for tr are quite high this month compared with the amount of hosts usually listed for this zone. The maintainer of the local hostcount for Turkey informed me about a major problem in this zone in March (the table listed a decrease of 890 hosts in March). The problems with this zone were fixed after I published the March hostcount. Therefore the hostcount was repeated. The figures for April illustrate the increase over the last two months now. I have included the March hostcount for Turkey in addition to the files for April in the ftp directory. Also Israel had connectivity problems in March (increase of 0 in). The current table contains the increase for March and April. The hostcount can also be found under ftp.ripe.net/ripe/hostcount.

NIDUS Working Group
by Nandor Horvath 04 May '95

04 May '95

Dear friends, About two years ago it seemed to be a good idea to form a working group which would deal with subjects of the network information/user services area (NIDUS WG). Since then the working group met several times, but not on all RIPE meetings, only if we found some topics to discuss. At start-up we decided that we did not want to start concurrent activities to the other existing groups in this field. There were very few people coming to the WG sessions, probably because there were much more important tasks to do, like PRIDE, etc. I think, that the only useful thing this WG did was, that we kept an eye on the activitis of the other groups in this field, like Joyce's reports about the IETF User Services Area. If the RIPE community hasn't got any strong objection against it, I'll suggest to quit the NIDUS WG, as it is now. We could resereve some time during the plenary session for reports of other groups/activities in the network information/user services area though, as many of us found such reports quite useful and interesting. Best regards, Nandor Horvath

Informal IETF Report

Apologies if you receive more than one copy of this message. IETF - Danvers: April 3rd - April 7th, 1995 ============================================ Trip Report: Jill Foster - Newcastle University, UK UK Mailbase Manager Abstract ======== The IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) met in Danvers near Boston. An informal report is available which deals mainly with the areas of User Support and Networked Information Retrieval. (It is shorter than my previous reports and contains fewer URLs due to a change in my own work roles. I no longer work for TERENA on a part time basis and my own "volunteer" effort is now committed elsewhere.) This report is stored on the UK Mailbase Server. To retrieve a copy, email to Mailbase(a)mailbase.ac.uk with the following command in the body of the message: send wg-isus ietf.04.95 Alternatively use anonymous ftp to: mailbase.ac.uk ftp://mailbase.ac.uk/pub/lists/wg-isus/files/ietf.04.95 Jill

refresher - what's happening
by epg＠merit.edu 25 Apr '95

25 Apr '95

Hi, At 0700 EDT on Tuesday, April 25, all peering sessions on ENSSes: 128 129 130 131 133 134 135 137 139 140 141 142 143 145 will be commented out of the routing configuration files. If there is a catastrophic failure tomorrow morning, Merit will advise the ANS NOC to roll back to the previous configuration (the one installed on Tuesday morning). If it is determined that problems are isolated to individual autonomous systems, Merit will enable the sessions with those individual autonomous sytems. If there are individual routes from many sources which are unreachable, Merit will designate one emergency configuration time period at which all of the independent additions wil be made. If you are experiencing problems tomorrow after 0700 EDT, please call 1-800-456-6300 or 1-313-677-7333. The NOC operators will page a Merit engineer to help you. If you still have email access, you may send a message to trouble(a)ans.net. Thanks for your help in getting prepared for this day. --Elise
