Bonjour, I am a Masters student focusing on cross layer simulation in edge routers. I would like to have pointers on papers which talks about cross layer interactions among layers which could help to optimise the system performace as a whole. Thanks, Cordialement, Sandoche Balakrichenan. _________________________________________________________________ BharatMatrimony.com. http://www.bharatmatrimony.com/cgi-bin/bmclicks1.cgi?74 India's premium matrimonial website.

New IPv4 blocks allocated to RIPE NCC
by leo vegoda 18 Nov '03

18 Nov '03

Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NCC received the IPv4 address ranges 83.0.0.0/8 and 84.0.0.0/8 from the IANA in November 2003. We will begin allocating from these ranges in the near future. On 24 October 2003 there was a formal proposal to the RIPE Address Policy Working Group to lower the minimum allocation size from /20 to /21. For the text of this proposal please see: <http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail-archives/address-policy-wg/2003/msg00189.html> It is likely that there will be formal consensus on this proposal in the near future. Consequently, the minimum allocation size for these blocks has been set at /21. Nonetheless, the RIPE NCC will not make /21 allocations from these blocks until after there is formal consensus to do so. You may wish to adjust any filters you have in place accordingly. More information on the IP space administered by the RIPE NCC can be found on our web site at: <http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/smallest-alloc-sizes.html> Kind regards, -- leo vegoda RIPE NCC Registration Services Manager

New IANA IPv4 allocations and bogon updates: 83/8 and 84/8
by Rob Thomas 17 Nov '03

17 Nov '03

Hi, team. [ Apologies to those who have received this post in other fora. ] The numerous Team Cymru bogon projects have been updated to reflect the following IANA allocations on November 15, 2003: 83/8 Nov 03 RIPE NCC 84/8 Nov 03 RIPE NCC IANA allocations change over time, so please check regularly to ensure you have the latest filters if you are not using the bogon BGP feed(s). We do announce updates to the bogon projects to the FIRST community, as well as on lists such as NANOG, isp-routing, isp-security, isp-bgp, cisco-nsp, and bogon-announce. We can not stress this point strongly enough - these allocations change. If you do not adjust your filters, you will be unable to access perhaps large portions of the Internet. Worse yet, you may end up blocking access for people who transit through you. Please do not blindly apply any filters or blocks to your network without carefully considering the ramifications of doing so. As a point of reference, the master Bogon Reference Page can be found here: http://www.cymru.com/Bogons/index.html A quick summary of the documents and projects that have been updated include the following: HTTP The Bogon List The Text Bogon List, Unaggregated The Text Bogon List, Aggregated Secure BIND Template Secure IOS Template (Cisco) Secure BGP Template (Cisco) Secure JUNOS Template (Juniper) Secure JUNOS BGP Template (Juniper) Ingress Prefix Filter Templates, Loose and Strict (Cisco) Ingress Prefix Filter Template, Loose (Juniper) Ingress Prefix Filter Template, Strict (Juniper) BGP Bogon route-server * RADb fltr-unallocated fltr-martian fltr-bogons DNS Bogon (bogons.cymru.com) zone Monitoring Bogon prefix monitoring * All of the bogon peers have received the appropriate BGP prefix updates. Please feel free to contact Team Cymru with any comments, questions, or concerns. Thanks! Rob, for Team Cymru. -- Rob Thomas http://www.cymru.com ASSERT(coffee != empty);

IETF needs a new Ops Aarea Director
by Eliot Lear 17 Nov '03

17 Nov '03

As some of you may already know, Randy Bush has resigned as Ops Area Director for the IETF. The community was well served by Randy, particularly because he has a good head on his shoulders and strong ties with the operational community. If you or someone you know would like to have broad impact on protocol development, the IETF needs a well qualified successor. The job is not an easy one, however, and it pays $0. Nominations are being taken by the IETF NOMCOM. The announcement can be found here: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/ietf-announce/Current/msg27262.html Regards, Eliot
