You cannot miss it. b) By train: - take the Underground A-line to the "Dejvicka" terminal station. Use the escalators at the front of your platform and look for the "Solinova, Bus, Vysoke skoly" stairway exit as described above. c) By taxi: - taxi from the Airport to the meeting place should cost approx. 110 Kcs: distance = 13 km; max. price = 8 Kcs/km fixed fee = 6 Kcs - No additional fees should be paid. Please ask for a receipt if in doubt. Directions will be posted inside the Faculty building and there will be people available to point you in the right direction. Public Transport - how much does it cost and where can I get tickets? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Normal ticket price for all types of public transport (Underground, tram, bus, funicular railway) is 4,- Kcs. Tickets should be bought before entering the Underground, tram or bus. You can buy them from supervisors at most entrances to the Underground, or from orange-coloured ticket machines (by the Underground entrances and at many tram or bus stops), or in newspaper kiosks, tobacconists' shops and many food stores. The ticket should be punched IMMEDIATELY after getting on a tram or bus (ask your co-passengers to help you if necessary), and stamped BEFORE entering the Underground premises. Each ticket can be used only once (i.e. a new ticket must be used if you change buses or trams. You can travel any distance on the same ticket if you don't change buses or trams). With the Underground it is slightly different in that your ticket is valid on all Underground lines for one hour. 1-day to 5-day tourist tickets can also be bought mainly in some newspaper kiosks or at Public Transport Offices for 30 Kcs (1-day) to 100 Kcs (5-day); these tickets should not be marked but should be displayed on request.

Re: Nsfnet stats

> As for the Ebone: where can I find statistics such as port usage and > country usage? Port usage, is with the equipment used in Ebone not possible to get, even if you put up a nnstat machine on the DMZ it would not se the traffic switched within a router between it's ports. The T1 network, had one interface per RT-PC and a token-ring interconnecting them, and it was possible to have one dedicated box to do traffic statistics. With todays T3/E3 or FDDI routers, it's not that easy to make all packages avaliable, and have something to analyse them, without basically putting that inside the router hardware. The Ebone as a whole collects only link utalization on a regular basis. However some sites, do collect statistics on source/destination addresses. This is to my knowledge done by Sara in Amsterdam (nic(a)sara.nl) Cern in Geneva (olivier(a)cearn.cern.ch) > Thanks, > Hank -Peter

Nsfnet stats
by Hank Nussbacher 10 Dec '92

10 Dec '92

Is Merit/ANS ever planning to improve the stats that nis.nsf.net delivers? At first they didn't give any T3 stats. Now they give bnss, pnss and delay and all are more or less useless. The T1 reports which showed traffic by port # as well as by country were very valuable. I have read a few times in the Internet Report that work is being done to provide that level of report for the T3 network - but I have been reading this for the past 2 years now. As for the Ebone: where can I find statistics such as port usage and country usage? Thanks, Hank

Termination of GMD's EASInet involvement
by Klaus Birkenbihl 07 Dec '92

07 Dec '92

Hello everybody, as you know GMD was contracted by IBM for EASInet to provide NIC- and NOC-services. Many networks beyond EASInet gained profit from these services since EASInet provided a lot of services for more than 700 networks in Europe. Last week IBM informed us that IBM is not in the position to prolongue this contract. The decision is that IBM-ENC will provide some of the services from next year onward the other services will end Dec. 31st 1992. Since this decision differs from recent plans there is a need for some migration work to bring IBM-ENC into place. So IBM asked us to help to migrate during the first 2 month of 1993. Here are the details (current plan): Service Action TCP/IP-NOC Will be moved to Heidelberg (IBM-ENC) till Feb. 28th 93, IDNX-support Will be moved to Heidelberg (IBM-ENC) till Feb. 28th 93, SNA ends on Dec. 31st, EASInet- Will be moved to Heidelberg (IBM-ENC) till office Feb. 28th 93, any other business ends on Dec. 31st, or will be at IBM-ENC from (EASInet- Jan. 1st. office...) We feel we should thank everybody who helped us to make EASInet a success. The colleagues at IBM for an unburocratic and effective cooperation: thanks to Herb Budd, Harry Clasper, Wolfgang Schroeder for taking care at IBM's Eurocoordination. Thanks to Michael Nies for technical support at the NOC and Peter Streibelt for arranging everything that was needed. We'ld like to thank all EASIsites, esp. the colleagues at CERN. Thanks also to the people from the US: IBM, ANS and MERIT. Too many people to be mentioned here. To all of you: we enjoyed your cooperation folks. Thanks to the EASInet EPC for the guidance and for watching the growth of EASInet. (Of cause we meet on Jan. 11th at GMD. Invitation follows.) And thanks to everybody who used and cooperated with EASInet. Last not least we thank everybody who is (or was before) in GMD's project team: Detlef Straeten, Willi Porten, Stefan Fassbender, Lothar Klein, Irene Schulz and Juan Pizzorno. Hello to everybody - we are out of EASInet but - of cause - we are still busy in networking. Best regards, Klaus Birkenbihl Peter Wunderling Manager Project Manager EASInet Center for Science Networks PS.: This is an informal note of GMD's Center for Science Networks. An official statement will be given by IBM. -+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+- + Center for Science Networks Fax.: +49 2241 14 3002 + + GMD-ISA Tel.: +49 2241 14 3177 + + Rathausallee 10 + + D-5205 Sankt Augustin 1 + + GERMANY + -+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+-

Yes, it was unfortunate that this month's count coincided exactly in time with a problem we had with the RCCN's connection to IXI over which we run the IP link. As you see, here is this message.. Nothing serious. Cheers = Vasco

Data communications - Nov 1992
by Hank Nussbacher 02 Dec '92

02 Dec '92

For those who don't read it - it pays to read the Viewpoint on page 6 of the Nov 1992 Data Communications by Peter Heywood. It is entitled 'The IXI Backbone: Europe's Dirty Little Secret'. Quite a tirade against the monopoly building CEC. A worthwhile read. Hank

RIPE DNS Hostcount November 1992
by Marten Terpstra 01 Dec '92

01 Dec '92

Friends, Please find below the RIPE Domain Name System hostcount for November 1992. Also included again are the totals found for every hostcount done since the start of all this. - Hungary (HU) went down a little due to connectivity problems - Portugal (PT) is a bit more serious, since not one machine inside Portugal could be contacted. It seems that they have lost all connectivity to the outside world. - again the counts for Germany (DE) and United-Kingdom (UK) have been done inside the country, and the results collected at the NCC. Overall a nice increase of around 17,000 to just under 272,000. It seems that 300,000 can be reached near the next RIPE meeting in January in Prague. Comparing this with the global zone survey as done at SRI by Mark Lottor, we can conclude that almost 25% of all hosts in the DNS are in Europe (or at least registered in the European part of the DNS).
