INTERNET MONTHLY REPORTS
------------------------
The purpose of these reports is to communicate to the Internet Research
Group the accomplishments, milestones reached, or problems discovered by
the participating organizations.
Each organization is expected to submit a 1/2 page report on the first
business day of the month describing the previous month's activities.
These reports should be submitted via network mail to "IMR-ED@ISI.EDU".
`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
The Internet Monthly Report mailing list is now managed by MajorDomo at
ISI.EDU. The announcements of new issues on the Internet Monthly Report
are sent to the IETF-Announce list and to this IMR list.
Requests to be ADDED or DELETED from the Internet Monthly report list
should be sent to "majordomo@isi.edu" with the message body either
"subscribe imr" or "unsubscribe imr".
Details on obtaining the current IMR, or back issues, via FTP or EMAIL
may be obtained by sending an EMAIL message to "rfc-info@ISI.EDU" with
the message body "help: ways_to_get_imrs". For example:
To: rfc-info@ISI.EDU
Subject: getting imrs
help: ways_to_get_imrs
or URL: http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/imr/

----------------------------
Internet Monthly Report for March, 1998
1. As I write this, the IETF is meeting in Los Angeles (March 30 -
April, 3, 1998). The IETF's next meeting will be in Chicago,

host. We're still making arrangements for the final meeting of
1998 in Orlando, Florida. This meeting will be hosted by
Microsoft.
Once all arrangements have been made, notifications will be sent
to the IETF Announcement list. Remember that information on
future meetng sites can always be found in the file
0mtg-sites.txt, located on the IETF shadow directories. Of
course, this information is provided on the Web. The IETF's URL
is:
http://www.ietf.org/
2. The minutes of the IESG teleconferences be found on all the IETF

INTERNIC DIRECTORY AND DATABASE SERVICES
InterNIC Directory and Database Services ended operation on April
1, 1998 at the completion of our five year cooperative agreement
with the National Science Foundation.
Our final version of the Netfind seed database is available and
contains 3.25 million entries.
To ease transition for our users, we have set up a page of pointers
to alternative sources for some of the information we provided.
This page will be available at
http://ds.internic.net
for at least a month after our official shutdown. In addition, we
also have notices and pointers on some of our internal pages that
users may have bookmarked.
Our mail servers are also returning messages about the conclusion
of our service, as do our telnet logins. A partial list of
pointers to alternative sources follows:

THE US DOMAIN REGISTRY
US Domain Status Report - March 1998
=======================================
US DOMAIN
=============
The US Domain registration form is now available online at
http://www.isi.edu/us-domain.
The US Domain has the maps of all the delegated special domains
online at http://www.isi.edu/us-domain.
Much of the processing of the requests to the third level domain
name is now automated. In particular, most requests to register
names in localities already delegated are automatically forwarded
to the administrator of that locality.

MERIT INTERNET ENGINEERING
--------------------------
This report summarizes March 1998 activities of Merit's Internet
Engineering group.
Merit has successfully completed work on the Routing Arbiter
project, funded by the National Science Foundation from July 1994
through March 1998. A collaboration between Merit and the
University of Southern California Information Sciences Institute,
the project supported leading-edge routing, tool development, and
research for the U.S. Internet. ISI continues to carry out
advanced RA research in routing systems, protocols, and policies.
Three services that originated as part of the RA project are now
supported as independent activities. In January 1997, following
NSF's recommendation that Route Server services be shifted to the
commercial marketplace, Merit launched the new Route Server Next
Generation project (www.rsng.net), which makes it possible for
exchange point operators to purchase Route Server services from
Merit in support of customer peering.
Following NSF's recommendation that statistical research and tool
development be pursued separately from the Routing Arbiter
activity, a proposal was submitted to NSF for support for a new

Internet Monthly Report March 1998
Internet Performance Measurement and Analysis project
(www.merit.edu/ipma/). In fall 1997, Merit received a $1.6 million
award from the National Science Foundation in support of the
project, a joint effort between Merit and the Department of
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of
Michigan's College of Engineering.
NANOG, the North American Network Operators Group, was supported by
NSF during both the NSFNET project and the early years of the
Routing Arbiter project. NANOG is now funded independently through
attendee registration fees (see www.nanog.org).
Merit continues to support the RADB (www.merit.edu/radb/), a part
of the Internet Routing Registry, until deployment of the
distributed database system under development at ISI. We are in
the final stages of processing Routing Arbiter Database funding
arrangements with five ISPs who have pledged financial support for
the project. We wish to thank our new commercial sponsors for
generously supporting this important activity!
Merit was well represented at the 41st IETF in Los Angeles, with
members of the Internet Engineering group attending a variety of
working group meetings. Sue Hares led an informational GateD
meeting during IETF that comprised technical briefings, status
reports, and administrative updates. Hares is Director of the
GateD Consortium, which is based at Merit.
Abha Ahuja continued advanced Cisco training at a course titled
"Cisco Internetwork Troubleshooting," sponsored by the American
Research Group. Sue Hares attended the Internet Architecture Board
Routing Workshop, which was led by Radia Perlman and Steve Deering.
The workshop brought together members of the IAB and the Internet
community with special expertise in routing protocols and design.
Topics discussed included unicast/multicast scaling, routing
security, NAT, and ToS/QoS routing. Hares chairs the Internet
Research Task Force Routing Research group, which explores routing
problems that are important to the development of the Internet, but
are not yet mature enough for engineering work within the IETF.

* New RFCs added to queue throughout the month
The Requests for Comments (RFCs) are a series of notes, started in
1969, about the Internet (originally the ARPANET). The notes
discuss many aspects of computing and computer communication
focusing in networking protocols, procedures, programs, and
concepts, but also including meeting notes, opinion, and sometimes
humor. The specification documents of the Internet protocol suite,
as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and its
steering group (the IESG), are published as RFCs.
Ramos [Page 29]
Internet Monthly Report March 1998
RFCs-to-be are edited by the RFC Editor. RFCs enter the RFC
Editor's work queue either by an action of the IESG or by
independent submission. Most independent submissions are referred
to the IESG to check for overlap with IETF work. The IESG might
put a hold on a document to gather more input from its members.
The wait for an RFC to be published varies as there can be
unforeseen complications (typically editorial matters that need
clarification from the author). Documents can be removed from the
publication queue if they are found to be insufficient or incorrect
or if the IESG asks the author to join work already in progress in
the IETF.

ARIN Status Report
------------------
January February March
/24's Issued 2176 3265 5547
ASNs Issued 26 60 85
ARIN became operational 12/22/97
49.0.0.0/8 and 50.0.0.0/8 were returned in exchange for 214.0.0.0/7
on March 27,1998
As of February 10th, 1998 the Initial Internet Protocol (IP)
Address Space Requests From Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
policy was revised. This revision allowed for multi-homed ISPs who
have utilized at least a /21 and agree to the policy can request a
/20 from a reserved /19. As of March 31st ten (10) ISPs have been
allocated a /20 using this new policy.
ARIN first members' meeting was held on March 20, 1998. Following
the meeting, members were welcomed to an open house at the ARIN
office.
ARIN's response to the Department of Commerce Green Paper on
Internet Governance was submitted on March 23, 1998.
