BGP Deployment Group Meeting
by Jessica Yu 09 Mar '92

09 Mar '92

Hi, The BGP Deployment Group Meeting is scheduled at 7-10 pm Tue Mar. 17 at this comming IETF meeting at San Diego. One of the topics will be discussed in this session is the mechanism for each domain to describe its routing policy and share them. As you know, sharing routing policy information is a means in helping avoiding domains set contradictary routing policies which leads packets go nowhere. It is importand for the enviroment which use routing protocols supports policy routing. Developing the sharing mechanism is one of the goal of this group. As a start, in our meeting at this ietf, we are going to develope a routing policy description form which hopefully will include all the policy descriptions we think is necessary to share. The policy description language in this form will be plain English initially but will be evolving to a common description language understood by machine. we will also discuss the mechansim of gathering and destribution of the form. I came up with a draft form which include some suggests from Yakov (thanks Yakov). I am including this draft form below. Please read it before our meeting and bring your comments and suggestions. Thanks! By the way, I will post an agenda shortly. --Jessica Routing Policy Description Form (Draft) ------------------------------- A. General Description of your domain a. List your Domain and the AS number(s) b. List the Routing administrator of the Domain Name: Organization: e-mail: phone number: c. List the networks that belong to your domain and mark them with RE or non-RE type if applicable. d. List your direct neighbor domain(s) and its AS number(s) e. List each IP address of your border router(s) which interface with your neighbor border router(s) and the Exterior Routing Protocol(s) used respectivly. f. Are your domain a Stub domain? Multi-homed Stub domain? Transit domain? Pure Transit domain? g. List the IGP used within your domain (optional for a non-transit domain) h. Describe the average bandwidth of your domain (optional for a non-transit domain) i. Describe the delay characteristic of average physical links, e.g. satellite, terriestrial, of your domain (optional for a non-transit domain) B. Policy Descriptions If you are a stub domain: o Outbound advertisement filtering: list the set of nets belong to your domain that you do not advertise to your neighbor. o Inbound acceptance filtering: list the set of ASs whose nets you do or (do not) accept from your neighbor(s) If AS number is not a satisfactory granularity, list the set of nets. o Describe your routing policy based on your AUP (e.g. RE vs non-RE traffic, etc.) o Does your border router default to your neighbor border router? If you are a multi-homed stub domain: o Outbound advertisement filtering: list the nets belong to your domain that you do not advertise to your neighbors. o Inbound acceptance filtering: list the set of ASs whose nets you do or (do not) accept from your neighbor(s) If AS number is not a satisfactory granularity, list the set of nets. o List the prefrence/denial of the neighbor ASs which can route your traffic to the same destination. o Describe your routing policy based on your AUP (e.g. RE vs non-RE traffic, etc.) o Do you point default to your neighbor(s)? If yes, describe the mechanism. If you are a transit domain: o Outbound advertisement filtering: list the nets belong to you (not a pure transit domain) that you do not advertise advertise to your direct neighbors o Inbound acceptance filtering: list the set of ASs whose nets you do or (do not) accept from your neighbor(s) If AS number is not a satisfactory granularity, list the set of nets. o List the paris of source/destination ASs or nets that your domain does not provide transitivity with. o List the prefrence/denial of the ASs which can route your traffic to a certain destination. o Describe your routing policy based on your AUP (e.g. RE vs non-RE traffic, etc.) o Do you point default to your neighbor(s)? If yes, describe the mechanism.

CERT Advisory - AIX REXD Daemon Vulnerability
by CERT Advisory 05 Mar '92

05 Mar '92

=========================================================================== CA-92:05 CERT Advisory March 5, 1992 AIX REXD Daemon Vulnerability --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Computer Emergency Response Team/Coordination Center (CERT/CC) has received information concerning a vulnerability with the rexd daemon in versions 3.1 and 3.2 of AIX for IBM RS/6000 machines. IBM is aware of the problem and it will be fixed in future updates to AIX 3.1 and 3.2. Sites may call IBM Support (800-237-5511) and ask for the patch for apar ix21353. Patches may be obtained outside the U.S. by contacting your local IBM representative. The fix is also provided below. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. Description In certain configurations, particularly if NFS is installed, the rexd (RPC remote program execution) daemon is enabled. Note: Installing NFS with the current versions of "mknfs" will re-enable rexd even if it was previously disabled. II. Impact If a system allows rexd connections, anyone on the Internet can gain access to the system as a user other than root. III. Solution CERT/CC and IBM recommend that sites take the following actions immediately. These steps should also be taken whenever "mknfs" is run. 1. Be sure the rexd line in /etc/inetd.conf is commented out by having a '#' at the beginning of the line: #rexd sunrpc_tcp tcp wait root /usr/etc/rpc.rexd rexd 100017 1 2. Refresh inetd by running the following command as root: refresh -s inetd --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The CERT/CC wishes to thank Darren Reed of the Australian National University for bringing this vulnerability to our attention and IBM for their response to the problem. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you believe that your system has been compromised, contact CERT/CC or your representative in FIRST (Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams). Internet E-mail: cert(a)cert.sei.cmu.edu Telephone: 412-268-7090 (24-hour hotline) CERT/CC personnel answer 7:30 a.m.-6:00 p.m. EST(GMT-5)/EDT(GMT-4), on call for emergencies during other hours. Computer Emergency Response Team/Coordination Center (CERT/CC) Software Engineering Institute Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213-3890 Past advisories, information about FIRST representatives, and other information related to computer security are available for anonymous ftp from cert.sei.cmu.edu (192.88.209.5).

I am leaving SURAnet
by oleary＠sura.net 05 Mar '92

05 Mar '92

March 20th will be my last day working at SURAnet. During April and May I will be traveling around the country, visiting schools and looking for a place to live, work, and take classes. Please direct any technical inquiries regarding SURAnet to "noc(a)sura.net" rather than to me directly as my access to electronic mail will be intermittent at best. Working with each of you has been quite enjoyable, and I certainly hope to keep in touch with all of you in the future. It is safe to assume that the next place I will be working is on the Internet.... :-) Thanks, dave o'leary SURAnet Network Operations Mgr.

Preview of ANSNET/NSFNET Backbone Engineering Report
by mak 28 Feb '92

28 Feb '92

We will include a more detailed report in the February Internet Monthly Report, but this summary gives a general report of events on the backbones over the last month. Mark ANSNET/NSFNET Backbone Engineering Report Preview of February, 1992 End-Of-Month Report ============================================= Mark Knopper, Merit Jordan Becker, ANS Summary ======= The T3 network continues to perform extremely well as it has since last November. During February, we have cut over a significant load of traffic from the T1 backbone to the T3 backbone. Midlevel networks that were cutover to use T3 in February include SURAnet (at both College Park and Atlanta), NyserNet/PSI, San Diego (SDSC and CERFNet), and SesquiNet. These are in addition to the other midlevel & regional networks that have previously been cut over to use the T3 system. We are coordinating with several other midlevel networks that we plan to cutover to T3 during the month of March. The midlevel networks continue to peer with both the T1 and T3 networks, and continue to use the T1 backbone to communicate with sites that have not yet cut over to the T3 backbone. This minimizes the load on the T1/T3 interconnect gateways in Ann Arbor, Houston, and San Diego. The interconnect gateway load has decreased as we have added load to the T3 system. We are also in the process of installing a 4th interconnect gateway at Princeton. T3 Network Status ================= Performance on the T3 network has been very good. There have been reports of intermittent packet loss, but this has been isolated to sources outside of the T3/T1 systems. As we migrate additional traffic onto the T3 network we are collecting daily reports on peak traffic load, and any packet discards on all CNSS/ENSS nodes in order to detect any problems caused by the added load. We are now measuring daily average sustained loads of about 5Mbps across a typical CNSS node (all interfaces) with an average packet size of about 200 bytes. The T3 backbone continues to be very reliable. There was a hardware problem on the backbone CNSS machine at Cleveland that resulted in two outages. We also continue to experience an occasional black link on CNSS-CNSS links. With the redundancy in the T3 network, none of these problems resulted in extended outages for any end users. There was also a routing software problem with the flooding of external BGP updates between the IBM and Cisco routers which we have worked around, and an SNMP monitoring problem which was identified and corrected. T1 Network Status Summary ========================= Performance and reliability on the T1 backbone has not been as good as T3 during February, but this is improving as we have (1) cut significant traffic over to the T3 system (2) are fixing several chronic problems that have been isolated and focused on during the last month. Some of these chronic problems and fixes include: - Congestion at NSS10 has been minimized by cutover of PSI/NyserNet traffic to the T3 system. We also replaced the PSP- 10-16 node to ensure that we were not having any intermittent hardware problems. - We recorded an above average number of T1 circuit outages reported during February. The increase in outages was largely due to two unrelated fiber cuts in the MCI network during the week of 2/17. - The "DCD Waffle" problem reported previously has been further diagnosed as two separate problems, and software corrections to these problems have already been partially deployed with the remaining software updates being tested on the research network for deployment during the coming week. A detailed description of these problems will be documented in the February Internet Monthly report. - An intermittent PSP crash problem is still being investigated. We suspect that this involves an RT kernel bug in the virtual memory system. - The fix to the "internally generated" ICMP net unreachable message problem has been successfully tested on the research network and will be deployed on the production network during the coming week. This should serve to minimize host problems resulting from any routing instabilities in the T1 network. - A new interior routing problem was identified where IS-IS link state PDUs were being truncated at sites where the regional was announcing over 2000 networks to the T1 backbone. A patch to the routing software to allow up to 2200 networks announced to a single NSS was already deployed as a near term fix. A new routing daemon that compresses the encoding of networks in the IS-IS link state packet is now being tested for deployment as a longer term solution.
