Domains for sale ? (This is not spam...)
by James R. Fisher 28 Sep '98

28 Sep '98

Greetings: Does anyone know of a website on which domain names are offered for sale ? This would be something of an underground enterprise if it exists ? I ask because it appears that a domain in which I have some interest has apparently come up for sale (usgs.com) You can see this just from the top of whois output for usgs.com . Thanks. -jrf

A cursory look at the web page advertised in the recent .cc spam indicates "DOMAINSPACE HAS STOPPED SENDING EMAIL DUE TO COMPLAINTS 9/28/98.". In case anyone wondered if the RBL works....

Worth reading: Fractals Reemerge in the New Math of the Internet by Gary Taubes Science Magazine, Volume 281, Number 5385 Issue of 25 Sep 1998, pp. 1947 - 1948 Vern Paxson mentioned a number of times. AT&T researchers have shown that IP traffic over the Internet is fractal in nature. Could be soon we will have an Internet Erlang value. -Hank

The Cidr Report
by Tony Bates 25 Sep '98

25 Sep '98

This is an auto-generated mail on Fri Sep 25 12:00:00 PDT 1998 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is possible even larger reduction should be possible. 2) Weekly Delta A summary of the last weeks changes in terms of withdrawn and added routes.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.
