The Cidr Report
by Tony Bates 30 Jan '98

30 Jan '98

This is an auto-generated mail on Fri Jan 30 12:00:00 PST 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is possible even larger reduction should be possible. 2) Weekly Delta A summary of the last weeks changes in terms of withdrawn and added routes.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.

Re: whois?
by Martin Hannigan 30 Jan '98

I thought this list was related to Internet operations. I've been flamed at least 5 times now regarding the post re: whois? Is InterNIC availability not an operational issue? The reference to the text I clipped included an NFS timeout. This was not mine, it was theirs. If information regarding InterNIC availability isn't appropriate, apologies. < Maybe I should join the "blue man" thread > Regards, -- Martin Hannigan hannigan(a)xcom.net Sr. Network Engineer CO/Carrier Networks XCOM Technologies, INC.
