This is an auto-generated mail on Fri Dec 7 23:00:00 PST 2001 It is not checked before it leaves my workstation. However, hopefully you will find this report interesting and will take the time to look through this to see if you can improve the amount of aggregation you perform. Check http://www.employees.org/~tbates/cidr-report.html for a daily update of this report. NEW: Check http://www.employees.org/~tbates/cidr-report-region.html for the regional version of this report. NEW: Check http://www.employees.org/~tbates/autnums.html for a complete list of autonomous system number to name mappings as used by the CIDR-Report. The report is split into sections: 0) General Status List the route table history for the last week, list any possibly bogus routes seen and give some status on ASes. 1) Gains by aggregating at the origin AS level This lists the "Top 30" players who if they decided to aggregate their announced classful prefixes at the origin AS level could make a significant difference in the reduction of the current size of the Internet routing table. This calculation does not take into account the inclusion of holes when forming an aggregate so it is possible even larger reduction should be possible. 2) Weekly Delta A summary of the last weeks changes in terms of withdrawn and added routes. Please note that this is only a snapshot but does give some indication of ASes participating in CIDR. Clearly, it is generally a good thing to see a large amont of withdrawls. 3) Interesting aggregates Interesting here means not an aggregate made as a set of classful routes. Thanks to GX Networks for giving me access to their routing tables once a day.

Re: Open Source BGP-router?
by Steven Hessing 07 Dec '01

07 Dec '01

True, bgpd.pl is not being maintained. I would be happy pick up development again and fix some known bugs if someone could provide me with a full BGP feed from a router. This router should not be in a production network and should be able to deal with lots of BGP notifications, session re-establishments and other testing activities. Ideally, I would like BGP sessions set up with all the different BGP implementations ofcourse but one would already be nice to start with. - Steven At 09:40 AM 12/7/2001 +0100, Stephane Bortzmeyer wrote: >On Thu, Dec 06, 2001 at 02:49:31PM -0700, > Irwin Lazar <ILazar(a)tbg.com> wrote > a message of 14 lines which said: > > > > > > Can someone point me to an Open Source OS which can host > > > a BGP-capable router? > > > > See: http://bgpd.sourceforge.net/ > >It's a funny experiment (a BGP speaker entirely in Perl), but it is >not maintained and I'm not aware of anyone using it in production. > >The only free (as in free speech, not as in free beer, i.e. not gated) >BGP speaker in production seems to be Zebra.

'Acupuncture map' to defend US against cyber attacks
by Hank Nussbacher 06 Dec '01

06 Dec '01

http://www.totaltele.com/view.asp?ArticleID=46507&pub=tt&categoryid=0 Extract: "The center will create, if you will, an acupuncture map of the country, so that if there is a fire in a railroad tunnel in Baltimore, we know the Internet slows down in Chicago," Clarke told a gathering of high-tech executives at the Business Software Alliance's first Global Tech Summit. The simulation is another attempt by the federal government to secure the nation's sprawling telecommunications networks in the wake of the Sept. 11 hijacking attacks that killed 3,600 in New York and Washington. -Hank
