I've got a copy stashed at http://improbable.org/findfact.pdf; I can arrange another mirror if that becomes bad but I'd prefer others spread the load a bit, too.

In an attempt to relieve some of the congestion, Yahoo is trying to mirror the MS/DOJ "Findings of Facts" PDF file. Has anyone actually managed to download a complete version? Reply privately with a URL, please, lest your local mirror get flooded badly as well. :) D

The Cidr Report
by Tony Bates 05 Nov '99

05 Nov '99

This is an auto-generated mail on Fri Nov 5 12:00:00 PST 1999 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. 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is possible even larger reduction should be possible. 2) Weekly Delta A summary of the last weeks changes in terms of withdrawn and added routes.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 xara.net for giving me access to their routing tables once a day. Please send any comments about this report directly to me.

mea-east
by Tatsuya Kawasaki 05 Nov '99

05 Nov '99

Nanog, Could anyone tell me is there any problem that traffic passes through mae-east? how common or difficult is it to maintain VPN connection whose traffic is goes though mea-east. One of our upper providers told me that from their core router at the mae-east, he could not ping "any" peering site without losing packets. Could anyone give me insight on this?

Baseline information and postive Y2K reporting
by Sean Donelan 05 Nov '99

05 Nov '99

At the Y2K meeting today in L.A. there were a couple requests from the folks from the US Y2K coordination center for information about the Internet. They are looking for baseline information on what a "normal" number of problems would be for the Internet on a typical weekend. They want this information to know if, on January 1, there are more or less problems than normal. For example, they have information on how many ATM cash machines are not working on a typical weekend, and will be able to compare it to reports during the Y2K roll-over. I think most ISPs keep track of information such as how many calls, trouble tickets, modems out of servers, etc they get each day. The Y2K CC isn't looking for ISP by ISP comparisions, but for an industry summary. Is anyone aware of a source or study which already generated this information? Or failing that, are there any ISPs willing to contribute a few key service metrics so a third-party could generate an aggregate report for the Y2K CC? I was thinking of using these service metrics as the basis for a broad "state of the Internet" - total modems/modems in use/modems out of service - total dedicated access ports/ports out of service - total number of web sites/sites out of service - total number of customer calls/trouble tickets opened - total number of bytes in/out (network aggregate) Since Dec31/Jan1 is a weekend, it would be great to have 7 days worth of daily or hourly data from a wednesday to wednesday. Any data would be usefull, but to make the aggregate more accurate may I suggest everyone use the time period begining December 1, 1999 0000UTC and ending at December 7, 1999 2359UTC. Hopefully this would give us a good baseline. The second issue was the process for postive status reporting about the Internet during the Y2K roll-over. IOPS.ORG is handling this for their member ISPs, but are there any other groups collecting status for other ISP and Internet services (e.g. exchange points). The Y2KCC can't handle every ISP calling them directly, but are willing to work with a small number of groups willing to funnel summary information to them. Even if I gave everyone my cellphone number, I can't take reports from 8,000 ISPs. For reporting purposes, it needs to be hierarchical. The hierarchy doesn't need to be by size, e.g. find a lead ISP or person in each region or state willing to collect the information in their area and feeding it to the next level. But it would require some comittiment from both the ISPs reporting the status, and for the next-level up to use the information only to prepare the aggregate report. For postive reporting, its "simple" to set up a couple of e-mail addresses (diversity) and a standardized template reporting ASN nnnn is A-Ok. And even though I think things are going to work, I would need to present a reasonable backup process. If we can't get ISPs to get together, I was thinking asking companies like Inverse for dialup availability and Keynote for web availability. If only 10 Internet Services (isps, exchange points, db's, etc) are willing to do positive status reporting, I guess I could just give them my email and cellphone number and consider that as good as it will get. Suggestions from operators for either how to quickly collect the baseline information or postive status reporting during the event would be appreciated.
