By the time this is submitted, we will be attending the first IETF meeting of 1995 in Danvers, Massachusetts. The summer IETF meeting will be held in Stockholm, Sweden the week of July 17- 21, 1995. Due to the meeting costs, the IETF attendance fee for the Stockholm meeting will be US$300. Hotel information has already been sent to the Announcement list, and attendees are encouraged to make their plane and hotel reservations. The IETF Secretariat is NOT accepting registrations for the Stockholm meeting at this time. Following Stockholm, the IETF will be meeting in Dallas, Texas on December 4-8, 1995. Our local host for this meeting is MCI. Once all the arrangements have been made, notifications will be sent to the IETF Announcement list. Remember that information on future IETF meetings can be always be found in the file 0mtg- sites.txt which is located on the IETF shadow directories. This information can also be viewed from the IETF Home Page on the Web. The URL is: http://www.ietf.cnri.reston.va.us/ 2.

The total packet count into the network including all ENSS serial interfaces was 81,409,309,441 up 12.97% from February. Router Forwarding Table Statistics The maximum number of destinations announced to ANSnet during March was 22,326 up .51% from February. The number of network destinations configured for announcement to the ANSnet but never announced (silent nets) during February was 24,718. Jordan Becker, ANS INTERNIC -------- Internic Directory And Database Services ========================================= As noted in last month's report, the scout-report and net-happenings mailing lists have been moved to the DS machines. These are quite large mailing lists - the Scout Report has 21,000+ subscribers and net-happenings has 10,000+ (counting both the digest and non-digest versions). We have made a number of changes to our MajorDomo server to accomodate these lists. We are batching subscription requests so they can be processed more efficiently. This may result in a delay of up to a day before a request to be added to the list will be processed, but we have set up the timing so that the day's additions are normally processed before the day's mail is sent out. Other changes have been made to the internals of MajorDomo, but they should not affect the mailing list as it appears to users. Subscribe and unsubscribe requests should continue to be sent to majordomo@dsmail.internic.net. Cooper [Page 13] Internet Monthly Report March 1995 We have also borrowed a more powerful machine from Sun (with thanks for their help) until more powerful permanent equipment can be obtained. These lists now appear to be stable and are operating normally. A reminder - if you would like to help the Internet community find a resource that you offer, send mail to admin@ds.internic.net and we will send information about listing your resource in the Directory of Directories. Rick Huber InterNIC Registration Services ============================== I. Significant Events InterNIC Registration Services assigned over 11,012 network addresses and registered over 6,757 domains. Three top level domains were registered this month for Mongolia (MN), Nigeria (NG), and Uganda (UG). The suit that Knowledgenet has filed against Network Solutions and David L. Boone over the knowledgement.com domain is still pending. This case could establish precedence that refutes InterNIC Registration Service's current policy of first-come first served by binding trademarked names with a domain name. During the month of March, the increase of domain requests increased from an average of 200+ to 300+ new submissions per day. We have made adjustments in domain processing and staffing, as well as the implementation of additional equipment to aid in reducing the backlog. At the close of March 1995, the processing time decreased from a high of 15 days to 12 days. II. Current Status During the month of March 1995, InterNIC Registration Services received communications as shown below. The majority of the correspondence concerned the assignment and re-assignment of network numbers and the registration or change of domain names. Cooper [Page 14] Internet Monthly Report March 1995 E-mail 16,118 (hostmaster@internic.net) Postal/Fax 352 (primarily IP number requests) Phone 5,873 The Registrations Services host computer supported a large volume of information retrieval requests during the month of February.

The advantage of the Tunnel, in comparison with traditional firewalls, is that it supports any IP-based communication; not just terminal access, file transfer, and electronic mail. The Tunnel allows sites that are hidden behind "firewalls", also known as "gatekeepers" or "mail-bridges", to have IP-based internet access without being open to attacks over the internet. It was implemented at ISI in August, 1993. Potential Attack: The Tunnel firewall software, which is implemented in the Sun kernel IP code, uses the IP source and destination address for authentication on incoming packets. The CERT Advisory CA-95:01, "IP Spoofing Attacks and Hijacked Terminal Connections", dated January 23, 1995, outlines an attack in which IP source addresses are spoofed. Cooper [Page 15] Internet Monthly Report March 1995 The ISI Tunnel was vulnerable to this attack on two levels: a. The workstation that the Tunnel software is running on might accept a forged packet, allowing the forger to take control of the workstation and subvert the Tunnel software once root access has been gained. b. IP forwarding decisions are made based on the source and destination addresses found in the IP header of a packet, so the Tunnel could be tricked into forwarding packets that should be discarded. Solution: Functionality has been added to the ISI Tunnel to address this problem. In particular, the Tunnel packet filtering scheme has been modified to drop all packets that didn't come in on the interface suggested by their source address. This change was implemented inside of the the kernel that runs on the Tunnel router. For each incoming packet, the standard kernel routine that is used to look up routes is called with the packet's IP source address. The interface that is returned is compared with the interface on which the packet arrived, and if the two interfaces don't match, the packet is dropped. This technique can be applied to any Sun workstation, and has nothing specifically to do with the Tunnel software. There are several limitations associated with this approach. In order for the routing lookup to yield the correct incoming interface, it must be assumed that packets are routed the same way in both directions. Also, if a source address is spoofed in such a way that the packet is entering the gateway via the correct interface, it will not be detected using this method. The latest version of the Tunnel software is available via anonymous FTP from venera.isi.edu, "pub/tunnel/tunnel_2.0.tar.Z".

The process of dismantling the NSFNET Backbone Service began this month, as ENSSs 138, 136, and 133 were turned off on March 11, March 22, and March 31, respectively. Located in College Park and Atlanta, ENSSs 138 and 136 were the NSFNET connection points for SURAnet. Located in Ithaca, NY, ENSS 133 was the NSFNET connection point for NYSERNet, the Cornell Theory Center, and PSI. These terminations of service mean that SURAnet and NYSERNet are the first regionals to be totally dependent on their new service providers, internetMCI and SprintLink. In addition, the Cornell Theory Center is the first supercomputer center to terminate its dependence on the NSFNET Backbone Service. ENSS 136 was also the NSFNET interconnection point with MAE-East. The NSFNET Backbone Service will continue to have connectivity to MAE-East+ until April 30, 1995. Merit has also discontinued the T1 "safety net" to 10 sites that have migrated to alternate service providers. Packet counts for the various access points to the NSFNET service show that most ENSSs have seen a reduction in traffic during the last six months. A significant amount of traffic is still traversing the NSFNET, however. Merit has posted a histogram that shows the number of packets into the nodes of the backbone from September 1994 to February 1995. The histogram is available at: ftp://nic.merit.edu:/nsfnet/statistics/top10.transition.ps Cooper [Page 20] Internet Monthly Report March 1995 http://www.ra.net/stats.html http://www.ra.net/transpage.html The 10 nodes shown on the graph are the top 10 originators of traffic into the backbone in February 1995. If you are attached to one of the nodes highlighted on the graph, please be aware that these attachments will be retired as of April 30, 1995. More detailed information about NSFNET Backbone Service traffic can be found at nic.merit.edu:/nsfnet/statistics/*. The Routing Arbiter Project has added four new attributes to the RIPE-181 (RFC 1786) syntax, which is used to express routing policy in the Routing Arbiter Database. The new attributes are: extended-as-in extended-as-out extended-interas-in extended-interas-out The "as-in" and "as-out" attributes, which are described in RFC 1786, make it possible to specify routing policy at an AS granularity. That is, if two ASs exchange routes, as-in and as-out describe the total of what routes are accepted and announced. The "interas-in" and "interas-out" attributes, also described in RFC 1786, are similar to as-in and as-out, but they make it possible to specify routing policy at a routing-session granularity. The new attributes, extended-as-in, extended-as-out, extended- interas-in, and extended-interas-out, have the added capability of allowing the expression of routing policies that are based on AS paths. The Routing Arbiter Project has placed a second Route Server at MAE-East/MAE-East+. Among the NSPs and ISPs receiving actual routes from the MAE-East/MAE-East+ Route Servers are NetCom, MCI, PIPEX, and Net 99. Many thanks to these AS's for helping move the new technology along! --Susan R.

With MIDnet's new interface, the newsletters can be accessed using the point-and-click technology of the Web. Newsletters are archived by date (day and month) and may be searched by title, keyword or newsletter name. News sources include Edupage, Alawon, Infosys, the Scout Report, and Webster. ANNOUNCE is a WWW view of the Usenet newsgroup comp.infosystems.www.announce. The newsgroup focuses on announcing the availability of new WWW resources. MIDnet's WWW interface archives the announcements and provides a mechanism for searching the archive by title, keyword, author, or subject. The MIDnet interface also provides individual hyperlinks to the resources being announced. These two resources can be found at: http://www.mid.net:80/NEWSLETTER/ http://www.mid.net:80/ANNOUNCE/ Both may also be accessed from MIDnet's Library of Information Services option on our WWW home page at: http://www.mid.net MIDnet NIC UCL ---- An Internet Draft was distributed on the Session Description Protocol for the MMUSIC group. UCL presented three paers at the IEE's International Telecommuncations Conference, one on Internet futures, one on Multiple Domain Management of ATM Networks, and one a version of a paper on Geographic Spread multicast for ATM networks of which a fuller version will be at INFOCOM, by James Kadirire.
