Appended to this announcement: ------------------------------ - directions to the meeting place Documents to follow (separate mail messages): --------------------------------------------- <> details of hotels in Amsterdam close to meeting venue <> registration form for attendance at the meeting ================================================================== CWI - The RIPE meeting venue: How do I get there? ------------------------------------------------------------------ To ease any possible confusion, two postscripts maps will be put in the RIPE document store. One will show the bus and tram stops around the meeting site and there will be a more general map of the area. Both maps will be available by ftp and are in one file: /ripe/docs/Next-Meeting/amsterdam-maps.ps a) From Schipol airport: <> Take the train from the airport railway station to the RAI station in Amsterdam, which is at the end of this line (10 min ride). NOTE: Amsterdam Central Station (CS) is on another line. <> From the RAI station take the city bus number 69 or CN bus number 169 in the direction of `Muiderpoort Station' to stop on the corner of Kruislaan and Middenweg (15 min ride, ask the driver where to get off). From here you can take the red shuttle bus 66 down Kruislaan (get off at the 2nd stop). The stop is a short walk along Kruislaan on the right hand side. Alternatively you can stay on the bus until you reach Muiderpoort Station and from here you can take the same shuttle bus number 66 to CWI (4th stop). <> If you get off the 69 or 169 at the Kruislaan - Middenweg intersection, walk down the Kruislaan in the direction of the railway bridge. Walk under the bridge and on your left will be a large group of buildings. Take the 2nd entrance on the left. There will be signposts once you are inside the grounds (15 min walk). OR you can take the bus number 66 mentioned above. b) From Central Station <> Take tram number 9 till the Middenweg and Kruislaan intersection (15-20 minutes). <> Walk down the Kruislaan in the direction of the railway bridge as described above (or get the bus 66). or <> Take bus 22 in the direction `Indische Buurt' to the stop at the Muiderpoort station and take the red shuttle bus number 66 (see above). c) From the Amstel Railway Station <> Take the city bus number 69 or the CN bus number 169 in the direction `Muiderpoort Station'. Get off at the stop after the Kruislaan and Middenweg intersection (15 min ride, and ask the driver where to get off) or proceed to `Muiderpoort Station' and take shuttle bus no. 66. d) Taxi from the airport <> Takes 15 mins and will cost approximately Hfl. 60.00 e) Connections away <> Tram 6 will take you to Leidseplein Tram 10 also Leidseplein Tram 14 To and from Dam Square Tram 9 Rembrandtplein f) Bus 66 Timetable <> From Muiderpoort Station (Monday - Friday) 7.20, 7.40, 8.00, 8.30, 9.00, 9.15, 9.40, 10.10, 10,40, 11.10, 11.40, 12.21, 12.51, 13.21, 13.51, 14.21, 14.51, 15.21, 15.51, 16.11, 16.31, 16.51, 17.11, 17.51, 18.11 <> This bus is a shuttle bus that operates from Muiderpoort station in a large circle around the CWI and NIKHEF campus. ==================================================================== Public Transport - how much does it cost and where can I get tickets? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Tickets of 15 strips (`Strippenkaart' costing Hfl. 10.75) can be bought in Post Offices, railway stations and cigarette shops. Tickets of 2 and 3 strips can be bought on the bus or the tram but they are much more expensive. You have to validate the ticket yourself in the metro stations and in the trams (except on lines 4 and 13). In the buses the driver will validate the ticket. Amsterdam is divided into zones: the old city is in zone `Centrum' whereas CWI is in zone `Oost'. You need to count how many zones you will be travelling through (from the centre - CWI is 2 zones) and count up that number of strips on your ticket + 1 extra. So in the above example you will need to stamp the 3rd strip. In case of overflow you stamp the last strip of the first ticket and start counting the remaining strips on the next ticket. Confused? Warning: BEWARE of pickpockets in crowded places.

Request for Unused Class B Internet Numbers
by Daniel Karrenberg 04 Feb '93

04 Feb '93

Dear colleagues, as you certainly know the amount of class B Internet numbers available for allocation has run quite low. Before this had become a concern European organisations have been allocated substantial blocks of class B network numbers by "the" NIC either for their own use or for reassignment to other organisations. In the meantime the RIPE NCC has taken up the role of European regional Internet registry. In the first half year of operation we have allocated 61 class B networks to European organisations that meet the criteria established by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). In order to ensure fair distribution of the unused class B address space to the Internet community we ask any organisation in Europe holding unused class B numbers to return them to us. We have consulted IANA on this and it has been agreed that all numbers returned in this manner will be retained by the RIPE NCC for re-assignemt to European organisations. Thus Europe as a whole will not "loose" any address space. The NCC will publish a list of all organisations returning numbers each quarter. Also we encourage all organisations currently using class B network numbers for networks with a few 10s of hosts to consider exchanging their class B number for a class C number as a service to the community. Even before this announcement we have already received 7 class B addresses from Deutsches Forschungsnetz (DFN) and one from an individual organisation. We thank them and hope that many of you will follow their example. Daniel Karrenberg RIPE NCC Manager

RIPE DNS Hostcount January 1993
by Marten Terpstra 04 Feb '93

04 Feb '93

Hi folks, the first hostcount for 1993. We have reached the 300,000 hosts in Europe now. Not much to report really, just BE and PL down a bit. Even after a re-count they stayed low. Connectivity problems are probably the cause. Still the UK and DE zones are fetched inside the countries, thanks JIPS-NOSC and Peter Koch. All output files can again be fetched from ftp.ripe.net:ripe/hostcount. Check the README for details. Again, the total history has been appended below. -Marten ---- RIPE DNS Hostcount Previous Count : Thu Dec 31 This Count : Sun Jan 31 CY SOA COUNTED DUPL REAL CHANGE ============================================================ al 1 0 0 0 0 at 224 9342 56 9286 + 552 be 4 1710 52 1658 - 350 bg 1 1 0 1 + 1 by 0 0 0 0 0 ch 120 24002 174 23828 + 877 cs 44 1796 95 1701 + 811 de 918 67087 1044 66043 + 4748 dk 92 5429 46 5383 + 482 dz 0 0 0 0 0 ee 8 76 0 76 + 9 es 192 6681 103 6578 + 1095 fi 169 20086 480 19606 + 1037 fr 349 26098 379 25719 + 975 gb 1 5 0 5 0 gr 43 840 141 699 + 152 hr 0 0 0 0 0 hu 15 649 4 645 + 156 ie 27 1313 29 1284 + 169 is 19 822 10 812 + 73 it 239 8832 107 8725 + 1618 il 43 3801 47 3754 + 168 lt 1 0 0 0 0 lu 7 114 1 113 + 3 lv 1 7 0 7 0 nl 309 25608 391 25217 + 1171 no 371 19411 265 19146 + 577 pl 83 1314 7 1307 - 256 pt 63 1946 45 1901 + 104 ro 0 0 0 0 0 se 384 26927 279 26648 + 1493 si 1 1 0 1 0 su 127 60 0 60 + 8 tn 2 15 0 15 + 3 ua 28 0 0 0 0 uk 470 61743 8144 53599 + 3778 va 0 0 0 0 0 yu 2 11 0 11 0 ============================================================ 4358 315727 11899 303828 +19454 History Oct 1990 31724 Nov 1990 33665 Dec 1990 29230 Jan 1991 43832 Feb 1991 - Mar 1991 44506 Apr 1991 46948 May 1991 - Jun 1991 63267 Jul 1991 - Aug 1991 73069 Sep 1991 92834 Oct 1991 104824 Nov 1991 129652 Dec 1991 - Jan 1992 - Feb 1992 161434 Mar 1992 167939 Apr 1992 170050 May 1992 182528 Jun 1992 196758 Jul 1992 213017 Aug 1992 221951 Sep 1992 232522 Oct 1992 254585 Nov 1992 271795 Dec 1992 284374 Jan 1993 303828

04 Feb '93

I've been asked to forward this. Please reply to Art st. George. Jill Foster (ISUS WG chair) %%%%%%%% Forwarded message %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Date: Wed, 03 Feb 1993 21:14 MST >From: "DOV - DR. ART ST. GEORGE" <STGEORGE(a)bootes.unm.edu> Subject: INET 93 To: jill.foster @ newcastle.ac.uk Dear Jill: would you please circulate the announcement below to the European community?> Also, I'm in charge of the network services track for the developing nations workshop of INET 93. I am in need of someone with French/English language skills and knowledge of network services to act as either an instructor or mentor. If you know of anyone, please let me know. Thanks, Art ======================================================================= INET '93 Network Training Workshop for Developing Countries February 2, 1993 In conjunction with the INET '93 Conference, the Internet Society is sponsoring a workshop for networking training for developing countries prior to the conference itself. The workshop will be held at Stanford University during August 10-16, 1993. Goals ----- The goals of the workshop are: 1. To train a critical mass of trainers/professionals in network infrastructure, transport and services to be able to support an extension of meaningful networking activities leading to Internet connectivity within developing countries represented. 2. To identify and share individual and institutional contacts as well as information sources that will assist the process of development, using international connections to and on the Internet. 3. To build robust professional linkages between all participants in the programs so that the mentor-student and peer relationships formed during the workshop and conference will remain strong and of continuing usefulness well beyond the workshop and conference. 4. To increase the level of cooperation among existing projects and activities for establishing data networks in developing countries. Program ------- An intensive program of instruction is planned for each of three program tracks: 1. Basic technical transport training. This training is designed for network technicians and technical staff focusing upon the establishment and operation of an initial network presence in a country and possibly initiating the deployment of a basic national network infrastructure in the country. It is anticipated that this initial network presence will be upgraded at a later time to support full Internet connectivity. Participants in the basic technical track should have some hands-on experience administering a computer system. Additional experience with operating systems, modems, basic communications protocols and related topics is highly desirable, but not required. Upon completion, participants will be expected to teach these skills to others in their country, expanding the breadth of networking knowledge available nationally. Topics covered will include: - Overview of computer systems, operating systems, and data communications - Store-and-forward and packet network concepts; alternative network development approaches and protocols - Modem technology - UUCP networking: principles, operation, and management - Internet-connected electronic mail services - Internet basic structure and services - Organizational steps to setting up national nets Participants will work in small groups to configure a network of store- and-forward UUCP mail nodes, and will install electronic mail services on the network. 2. Advanced technical transport training. This training is designed for network engineers who may have operational UUCP or FidoNet links within their country and/or to other countries and who want to learn about establishing and maintaining an IP network. This track will teach how to install and operate low cost Internet links within a country and between countries. Philosophy and administration will be taught as well as host, router, and physical link operation. Upon completion, participants will be expected to teach these skills to others in their country, expanding the breadth of networking knowledge available nationally. Participants should know basic communications concepts and some protocols and should have had experience operating a network node, such as FidoNet, UUCP or IP. As most work will be done with DOS and routers, participants need have no UNIX experience, but it would be helpful. Attendees should be engineering- capable. Topics covered will include: - TCP/IP protocols; IP routing principles and capabilities - Routers: DOS-based and commercial products - The domain naming system; name servers and services - Management and debugging of routed networks - Issues in multi-protocol environments - Functions and operation of a network information center (NIC) and a network operations center (NOC) - Network administration and security Participants will engage in extensive hands-on training, setting up a group of prototype low-cost IP-based nodes and establishing a network with them. In addition, participants will be able to take advantage of the workshop's location in Silicon Valley to visit several major suppliers of networking hardware and software for technical presentations and discussions. 3. Network navigation and services training. This training is designed for network information specialists focusing upon how to use connectivity to the Internet to obtain access to specialists, network resources, and information in electronic data bases. This group includes but is not limited to librarians, development specialists, and information specialists within government, higher education, and non- governmental organizations (NGOs). The purpose of the track is to provide participants with the skills to discover and exploit the various network services available on the Internet worldwide. Upon completion, participants will be expected to teach these skills to others in their country, expanding the breadth of networking knowledge available nationally. Participants should have had some hands-on experience using a computer system. Additional experience with operating systems, modems, basic communications protocols and related topics is highly desirable, but is not assumed. Topics covered will include: - Development of global data communications and impact upon developing countries - Personal electronic communication: locating experts and establishing effective communications - Many-to-many communication: UseNet News - Telnet: Remote access to computing systems and information services - FTP: Finding and retrieving network-accessible information files - Electronic libraries: on-line catalogs, periodicals and databases - Internet navigation tools and information search strategies Participants will engage in extensive hands-on training, accessing and using actual Internet resources through Stanford University's computing facilities. In additional to undergoing technical training and laboratory work, participants in all three tracks will have an opportunity to have dinner and spend an evening with a host family in the Silicon Valley area. Location -------- The workshop will be held at Stanford University, in Palo Alto, California, U.S.A. Palo Alto is approximately 30 kilometers south of the San Francisco International Airport and 50 kilometers south of the city of San Francisco. Limousine transport is available from San Francisco Airport to Palo Alto. Workshop sessions will take place in the Jordan Quadrangle and at the Elliott Program Center. Participants will be housed in student housing within the Sterling Quadrangle, located a 5 minute walk away from workshop session locations. Dates ----- Participants should plan to arrive at Stanford University on the afternoon of Tuesday, August 10th. Workshops sessions will be held all day from Wednesday, August 11th through Monday, August 16th. Transportation will be provided to San Francisco at the end of the workshop. The INET '93 Conference will be held at the Hyatt Embarcadero Hotel in San Francisco. The Conference begins on the evening of Tuesday, August 17th and continues through Friday, August 20th. Working language ---------------- The working language of the workshop will be English. A working knowledge of English will be required of each participant. Additional language skills will be supplied by members of the workshop training staff. Eligibility ----------- The workshop is specifically directed toward the needs of people from developing countries who are playing or will play an important part in introducing and extending networking in their countries. Attendees should be involved in establishing a networking presence in their countries, in institutionalizing its operation, and in assisting the country's schools and universities, governmental agencies, non- governmental organizations, local firms, and residents in learning about and exploiting the range of services available through such network connectivity. Staff members of international and bilateral technical co-operation agencies, as well as professionals involved in international technical and development assistance, are eligible for attendance. It is the responsibility of participants to obtain appropriate visas for travel to the United States, if needed, to attend the workshop and the related conferences. Enrollment is limited to about 100 people. We encourage you to apply as early as possible. Costs ----- The cost of attending the workshop and the INET '93 conference is U.S. $1,500. This fee includes: o All tuition and fees for the workshop o All lodging and meal charges, starting with dinner on Tuesday evening, August 10th through lunch on Monday, August 16th o Transportation to industrial site visits and from Stanford University to the San Francisco hotel district at the end of the workshop on Monday, August 16th o Registration at the INET '93 Conference (August 17-20), including meals and social events included in conference registration. Almost all meals during the Conference are covered by this fee. The fee does not include any transportation costs except for local transportation in the San Francisco area as noted above. Participants will be housed in student housing in the Sterling Quadrangle at Stanford University, along with some of the workshop instructors. Participants should plan to budget an additional amount in the range of $75-$100 per day for food and lodging for 4 days and nights in San Francisco. (Almost all meals during INET '93 are included in the conference registration fee and are therefore included in the workshop fee.) Participants wishing to remain in San Francisco for an additional week for the INTEROP '93 Fall Conference and Exhibits should budget an additional $100-$125 per day for 7 days to cover lodging and meals plus approximately $1,000 for INTEROP '93 Fall conference registration and tutorials. Financial assistance -------------------- Financial assistance to cover a part or all of each participant's expenditures is expected be available to deserving and financially needy candidates. The total resources expected to be available to INET '93 for financial assistance are adequate to meet a significant portion but by no means all of the demand from participants requiring such assistance. Participants needing financial assistance are strongly encouraged to seek other sources of funding to meet a part of their expenses in addition to requesting funds from INET '93. Financial assistance will be allocated to participants on the basis of both their financial need and their expected contribution to network development in their country. If you request financial assistance for the workshop, please provide the financial information requested in the application for admission. Financial assistance for workshop and conference attendance will be disbursed in one or more of the following forms: partial or total support of the workshop and conference registration fee, prepaid airline tickets available at point of departure, and cash stipends for INET '93 living expenses, which will be disbursed during the workshop.
