C:US 1:2551(147) 2:1321 Expanded listing, sorted by country, then by organization: ========================================================== The "Expanded Listings" section of this NWG report has been retired since it is sorted by countries and network organization addresses. The replacement configuration generation system is based on the Internet Routing Registry (briefly called the "Global Routing Registry"). See the file ftp.ra.net:pub/radb/OVERVIEW for more information. The remainder of this report will also be retired shortly. ========================================================== The following Midlevel/Regional peering sessions have also been added: AS 2883 - NAP-TWO - DNSS 27 Peer: 198.32.130.130 - Merit - rs1.aads.ra.net AS 2885 - NAP-FOUR - ENSS 147 Peer: 192.41.177.169 - Merit - rs2.mae-east.ra.net AS690 CIDR Squeezings Report: 11490 Nets, 189 ASs, 3455 Aggregates ------------------------------------------------------------------- 11490 (82%) of the ever-announced more-specific routes within aggregates have been withdrawn. 635 of those were withdrawn within the last week. 17 the week before that. 493 the week before that. 189 ASs have registered aggregates in the PRDB. 170 of those are announcing aggregates. 89 have withdrawn at least one more specific route. 3455 Aggregates are configured. 2254 of these were Top-Level Aggregates (not nested in another aggregate). 1769 of these are being announced to AS690. 1083 of those have at least one subnet configured (the other 686 may be saving the Internet future subnet announcements). 917 have stopped announcing at least one configured more specific route. 893 have stopped announcing half of their configured more specific routes. 843 have stopped announcing most (80%) of their more specific routes. See home.merit.edu:pub/nsfnet/cidr/cidr_savings for more detail. ----------------------------------------------------------- ========================================================== The configuration reports which reflect today's update will be available for anonymous ftp on nic.merit.edu by 08:00 EDT: configuration reports -- nic.merit.edu:nsfnet/announced.networks: as-as.now as-gw.now ans_core.now country.now net-comp.now nets.doc nets.non-classful nets.tag.now nets.unl.now NSS routing software configuration files -- nic.merit.edu:nsfnet/backbone.configuration: gated.nss<NSS number>.t3p Information is also avaiable through the PRDB whois server. Type "whois -h prdb.merit.edu help" for details. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRDB CHANGES: (Updated January 19, 1994) As of 1/19/95, ACKs and NAKs will no loger be required (or even read) in the processing of NACRs. In early 1995, as part of the transition to the new Internet Routing Registry (IRR), the Policy Routing Database (PRDB) will be retired. Many of the functions of the PRDB (including generation of router configurations for NSFNET) will be produced based on data from the Global Routing Registry. This change to the NSFNET Backbone service will involve the following changes: - The method for submitting new nets to be routed over AS690 will change. Instead of submitting a NACR to nsfnet-admin@merit.edu, you will need to submit a "route template" to auto-dbm@ra.net . - Additions and entries to the new registry will be made by the Home AS which creates the route for each net, rather than being submitted by a AS690 peer AS. - Most of the PRDB reports (listed above) will no longer be produced. Equivalent information for most of these reports is available from the global Routing Registry. These are major changes to the system. These changes are being made in order to migrate NSFNET customers and the global user community to a global Internet Routing Registry system, which will be more capable of supporting user needs after the termination of the NSFNET Backbone services in April 1995. For more information, set your web browser to http://www.ra.net/rrinfo.html , or use anonymous ftp to obtain the files "OVERVIEW" and from the directory "ftp.ra.net:pub/radb". Merit would like to minimize the number of problems that this transition may cause you. In order to help us help you through the transition, please send your concerns, your needs, and suggestions on how we can make this happen smoothly to merit-ie@merit.edu. The archived discussion list "db-disc@merit.edu" also exists for discussion of PRDB and RADB issues. Send a message to "db-disc-request@merit.edu" to subscribe. --Dale Johnson (dsj@merit.edu) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please send all requests for configuration changes to nsfnet-admin@merit.edu using the NSFNET configuration forms. The forms are available on-line from the nic.merit.edu machine. Use ftp and the anonymous login to get on the machine. Do a "cd nsfnet/announced.networks" and get the files template.net, template.net.README, template.gate, and template.as. *** Note: As of March 1, 1994, NSFNET AUP NACRs must use the template.net *** (NACR) version 7.1, or the NACR will be returned unprocessed. ******************************* --Stephen McNutt Merit/NSFNET smm@merit.edu --Steven J.
