QUARTERLY REPORT Issue 8 March 1994 Document-ID: ripe-116 1. Introduction RIPE (Reseaux IP Europeens) is a collaborative organisation open to all European Internet service providers. The objec- tive of RIPE is to enable the necessary administrative and technical coordination to allow the operation of a panEuro- pean IP network. Much of this work is achieved through voluntary effort. RIPE does not operate a network of its own. The RIPE Network Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC) is a Euro- pean organisa- tion with a charter to support RIPE. It is specifically focused on undertaking those activities which cannot be effectively performed by volunteers from the par- ticipating organisations. The work of the RIPE NCC is divided into two areas: Core Activities and Development Projects. The former are defined in the RIPE NCC activity plan (document ripe-110.txt) and are funded by European Internet Service Providers. The development projects are defined within RIPE and funded separately by interested organisations. Currently all development projects are run under the auspices of the RARE Technical Programme. This is the eighth quarterly report produced by the RIPE NCC and covers the core activities during the period January to March 1994. Brief reports on the status of the Joint Pro- jects are also included with pointers to the relevant reports. Once again there has been a conscious effort to avoid duplication of information by including references to previous reports. Apologies Due to critical staff shortages at the RIPE NCC, this quar- terly report has been published significantly behind schedule. Please accept our sincere apologies for this delay. July 7, 1994 - 2 - 2. Management Summary Staff Shortage Since the start of NCC operations two years ago the size of the European Internet has quadrupled by number of hosts. Other indicators for NCC workload have increased by an order of magnitude. At the same time staff resources for the core services have remained essentially constant. During the reporting period the staff shortage has lead to backlogs of registry requests, causing the typical response time to increase beyond the one working day target. The additional staff resources forseen in the 1994 budget need to be hired quickly to relieve this situation. It is expected that by autumn one additional technical staff will be needed to keep service levels where they should be. This was not anticipated in the current 1994 budget and will have to be financed from unbudgeted income. This income should be available as the number of service providers increases faster than expected. Should additional staff resources not become available, NCC core activities will have to be curtailed. Activities Despite this critical problem the NCC continues to function well, with the most important activities being performed satisfactorily. However documentation and enhancement efforts are currently progressing very slowly or in some cases not at all. July 7, 1994 - 3 - 3. RIPE NCC Core Services 3.1. DNS Coordination DNS Hostcount The March 1994 hostcount shows a total of 655,164 hosts in Europe. During the reporting period 101,807 were added, which represents an increase of 18.4%. Nothing has changed to the hostcount procedure as previously reported. Hostcount History Below is a table showing the totals of the RIPE DNS hostcount from October 1990 up till March 1994. All DNS output, not just the A records, are saved and are available in the RIPE document store, two files for each country: the standard output, and the error messages. Please check the README file for more details: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/hostcount/README Hostcount History 1990 Oct 26141 Nov 33665 Dec 29226 1991 Jan 43799 Feb 44000 Mar 44506 Apr 46948 May 52000 Jun 63267 Jul 67000 Aug 73069 Sep 92834 Oct 104828 Nov 129652 Dec 133000 1992 Jan 141308 Feb 161431 Mar 167931 Apr 170000 May 182528 Jun 196758 Jul 213017 Aug 221951 Sep 232522 Oct 254585 July 7, 1994 - 4 - Nov 271795 Dec 284374 1993 Jan 303828 Feb 322902 Mar 355140 Apr 366164 May 385522 Jun 404930 Jul 426827 Aug 451116 Sep 469358 Oct 500018 Nov 533701 Dec 553357 1994 Jan 587135 Feb 623158 Mar 655164 3.2. Internet Registry The Hostcount increase for this quarter represents 18.4% growth of the European Internet. In the two years, since the RIPE NCC started to act as a Regional Registry, the the European Internet has quadrupled in size. The NCC has set up a sizeable system of local registries during this time. Local IR's At the end of the reporting period, there were a total of 93 delegated Local Registries. This is an increase of 10 local registries since the last quarterly report. Twenty nine (24 in the previous quarter) are of the "Last Resort" type who provide a registry service to organisations not yet served by a service provider or do not wish to connect to the Internet. New "Last Resort" registries exist for the Ukraine, Greece, Cyprus, Slovenia, and there has been a transfer of the DE-NIC to the University of Karlsruhe. The DE-NIC is now funded by a consortium of German service pro- viders. Three "Provider" type registries have been added: one in Belgium, one in the UK and one in Cyprus. New List of European Local Registries There is now an updated version of the list of European Local Registries. It is also planned to keep an ftp "regis- tries" directory where individual files for each local registry will be available by ftp. The new list contains references to "Enterprise Local Regis- tries". This new classification of registry is intended to describe large enterprises that wish to coordinate the July 7, 1994 - 5 - address space usage of their enterprise internally. Anyone from within the enterprise concerned who makes an applica- tion for address space should direct the request to the Enterprise Local Registry. As with the handling of all IP requests, the RIPE NCC will, where appropriate, forward applications to the relevant registry. Any enterprise wish- ing to make such an arrangement is invited to contact the RIPE NCC for more details. The new list of local registries is available from RIPE document store via: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-111.txt Once again, thanks to all those running local registries for their time and effort. It is greatly appreciated by all the RIPE NCC staff. NCC Workload and Performance Following from the figures above, the resulting workload for this area of the Core Services of the RIPE NCC has been steadily increasing since the beginning of RIPE NCC Regional Registry operations. While much of the work is performed by local registries the NCC needs to coordinate and support them. Requests for larger amount of address space have to be reviewed and processed by the NCC in order to ensure fair and consistent application of the allocation criteria. All registry transactions are handled by a designated staff member called the "hostmaster". NCC core staff perform this duty on the basis of a bi-weekly roster. The number of mes- sages received by the NCC "hostmaster" role mailbox is a good measure of the workload incurred by the registry. Dur- ing the reporting period we received 1342, which is an aver- age of more than 20 per working day. This is more than four times the number of messages received one year ago. Consequently internal procedures at the RIPE NCC for han- dling the "hostmaster" role were reorganised. Part of this reorganisation involved prioritising the incoming mail. As before, every message will be answered as quickly as possi- ble, but requests from local registries are now answered with the highest priority. Also a number of additional tools has been deployed to streamline the administrative processes: FAX traffic is now fully integrated into the E- mail system, all E-mail messages are retrieveable via full- text search and a standard text tool helps answering recur- ring queries. Despite these measures typical response times for registry transactions have increased beyond one working day for the first time since the NCC started registry operations. We are building noticable backlogs during peak periods now. July 7, 1994 - 6 - RFC on Address Allocation for Private Internets RFC1597.txt has recently been approved. This RFC describes the use of private address space for those parts of enter- prise networks that do not have to communicate outside the enterprise at the network layer. It is hoped that the pub- lication of this RFC will encourage a wider audience to use private address space when planning their future networks. This RFC is available from ftp://ftp.ripe.net/rfc/rfc1597.txt Updated Delegated IR Leaflet The green folder "Delegated Internet Registry" has recently been significantly updated. If you would like some copies, please send mail to stating how many copies you would like to receive. It will shortly be available in PostScript format in the document store. 3.3. RIPE Network Management Database Database updates During the reporting period the NCC processed a total of 4838 update transactions with 47796 objects. The update procedure is running smoothly. Database Objects Processed Q2 1993 Q3 1993 Q4 1993 Q1 1994 TOTAL 28110 58189 42767 47796 Database Statistics Again the number of networks in the database has increased significantly due to the large number of newly assigned class C network numbers.

July 7, 1994 - 8 - 3.4. Document Store Document Store Statistics In total the document store contains approximately 6618 documents. By volume, it accounts for over 258 Megabytes. Below is a table overview of the RIPE Document Store.

The file: o ripe/docs/ripe-docs/iso3166-codes was moved to was moved to the top level. Apologies for any (temporary) inconvenience caused. RIPE documents The following new documents, or updates to older documents July 7, 1994 - 9 - were added to the document store during the reporting period: o ripe-107 European Internet Network Number Application Form (revision) o ripe-108 Support of Guarded fields within the RIPE Database o ripe-109 European Autonomous System Number Application Form & Supporting Notes - March 94 revision o ripe-110 RIPE NCC Activity Plan o ripe-111 List of Local Registries FTP Usage Statistics The most popular archive sections of the RIPE document store are tabulated below. This displays the top 15 most popular sections which were accessed using ftp.The most popular sec- tion is the RIPE database, with over 9000 Megabytes transferred. The total of 9 Gbytes of transferred data from the RIPE Database section of the document store actually represents an average of 10 Kbits/sec continuous traffic, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week over this last quarter. Below is the table overview of the 15 most popular archive sections. Much of this traffic can be explained by mirror sites, who copy this part of the archive daily, and the RIPE database section changes every day.

Interactive Information Server The NCC Interactive Information Server is still a popular method of access to the RIPE document store catering for users with minimal hardware and/or software support to access information stored by the NCC. Full details on access methods are given in the RIPE NCC information leaflet "Interactive Information Server" and in the first edition of the NCC Quarterly Report. A graph showing the TOP 25 accesses can be found in Appendix E. (not available in ASCII) General Service Usage Statistics Statistics for the use of the various NCC information ser- vices were collected for the first quarter of 1994. The table below shows the total number of connections made for each service from August 1993 (IIS, Wais, Ftp and Gopher) contacted either directly from a user client or from the NCC Interactive Information Service. The breakdown is given as total number of connections per month: The WHOIS statistics have been omitted from this table due to their distorting effect on the whole graph. They are however included in the table overleaf which reports the July 7, 1994 - 12 - actual figures. A breakdown per service since the start of these services in March 1993 is shown below in two tables: Service 1993 Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Whois 28961 32660 35215 30721 31655 31150 45410 IIS 2040 1785 2326 2313 1978 1311 1236 Wais 4375 3764 3564 3994 4162 3996 2776 FTP 2067 1735 2038 1891 2693 2610 2521 Gopher 2394 2345 2439 2559 2563 2120 2178 Service Oct Nov Dec 1994 Jan Feb Mar Whois 48687 69383 59353 60765 96109 123328 IIS 2370 2475 2412 3527 4072 4108 Wais 2402 2351 1788 2134 2406 2557 FTP 3845 3578 3562 3968 4389 4871 Gopher 3522 3911 3397 4332 4877 4897 The number of connections to the various servers at the NCC broken down by the source of the request is shown in the table below.

Staff On January 3rd Marten Terpstra left the NCC core staff to join Tony Bates on the PRIDE project. Physically Marten remains at the same desk. At the same time Geert Jan de Groot has joned the NCC core staff as a network engineer. Geert Jan joined us from Phi- lips Consumer Electronics division where he has supported various development projects by providing an excellent com- puting and communications infrastructure. It was outlined in the previous quarterly report that the NCC was working towards making arrangements to allow people from local registries and the European Internet community in general to work at the RIPE NCC for periods of between 3-6 months. The object of the traineeship is to gain some experience in the operation of a regional registry and to also work on a small but focused project. Following this the NCC is pleased to welcome Geza Turchanyi who will be working at the RIPE NCC for 6 months from mid January 1994 until mid July. Anyone else who is interested in joining the NCC on a similar basis is invited to contact Daniel Kar- renberg for an informal discussion. 3.6. Publications Over the reporting period the following was published: o RFC1597.txt - Address Allocation for Private Internets Y. Rekhter, B. Moskowitz, D. Karrenberg and G. de Groot. Further details are given about this publication earlier in the Quarterly Report in the section on Internet Registry. Presentations Over the reporting period the following external presenta- tions were delivered by the RIPE NCC: July 7, 1994 - 15 - o Regional Techs Meeting, San Diego, USA "Routing Registry" given by Daniel Karrenberg o EARN, Paris France Tutorial on "RIPE and the Internet Registry System" given by Daniel Karrenberg o IETF, Seattle, USA Various presentations including "Address Allocation for Private Internets" Marten Terpstra and Tony Bates Again the RIPE NCC encourages organisations who feel they would benefit from a presentation by the RIPE NCC to contact them. 3.7. RIPE Support Activities RIPE Meetings The 17th RIPE meeting was held in Amsterdam from 24 - 26th January 1994. Once again this was a successful meeting with approximately 85 attendees present. The following presenta- tions were added to the presentations directory: o ripe-m17-dfk-NCC-REPORT.ps. o ripe-m17-marten-DB.ps.Z o ripe-m17-tony-LIMERICK.ps.Z o ripe-m17-tony-PRIDE.ps.Z o ripe-m17-tony-RS.ps.Z o ripe-m17-woeber-CEENET.ps.Z o rep-ripe-17.ps.Z The draft minutes from this, the 17th RIPE meeting can be found in the minutes directory: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/minutes/ripe-m-17.{txt,ps} The agenda from this meeting can be found in the agenda directory: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/agenda/ripe-a-17.{txt,ps} July 7, 1994 - 16 - 4. Joint Projects 4.1. PRIDE The PRIDE project now has reached its full complement of staff and continued to work on tools, documentation and population of the registry. A new tool to display all pos- sible external routing paths between two points in the Internet has been released for a-test. For more details see the PRIDE progress reports: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/pride/reports/pride-rep{3,4}.{ps,txt} 4.2. Routing Registry The RIPE routing registry continues to be well populated Breakdown of known European AS (Total: 131) ------------------------------------------ Not in RR but known (13.1%) In RR without RIPE-081 policy (12.3%) In RR with RIPE-081 policy (74.6%) A liaison has been established with routing registry efforts sponsored by the US National Science Foundation with the aim to establish compatible registries. July 7, 1994 - 17 - 4.3. Acknowledgements The RIPE NCC wishes to thank the RARE Secretariat for their excellent support throughout this quarter. We wish also to thank the local registries for their excel- lent work, especially with regard to the allocation of IP numbers.

Appendix C 6.1. Class C Block Allocations to Date The table below summarises the delegation status of the class C network number blocks allocated through the NCC and the number of networks allo- cated from these blocks. The "p/n" column indicates whether the block in question is delegated to the local registry of a service provider or is used to allocate numbers to organisations without a service provider. It should be noted that blocks are reserved based on usage estimates given by the local registries for a period of about 24 months. Should the assignment rate differ from the estimated one, reserved blocks can and will be used for other purposes if necessary. In cases where it appears that a block has been assigned to a registry and the registry does not know, please contact the NCC before allocating from these blocks. Also in other cases of confusion, please con- tact the RIPE NCC.

Appendix D 7.1. Note on Statistics The arrangement of categories including country codes in some statistical tables and figures have been standardised to make the data more easily comparable between different tables and editions of these reports. As a consequence some categories appear with no data and/or seemingly nonsensical combinations. 7.2. Domain Table The domain table ususally found in Appendix D has been removed to avoid unneccessary duplication of information.
