INTERNET MONTHLY REPORTS
------------------------

   The purpose of these reports is to communicate to the Internet
   Research Group the accomplishments, milestones reached, or problems
   discovered by the participating organizations.

   Each organization is expected to submit a 1/2 page report on the
   first business day of the month describing the previous month's
   activities.   These reports should be submitted via network mail to
   "IMR-ED@ISI.EDU".

`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

The Internet Monthly Report mailing list is now managed by MajorDomo at
ISI.EDU.  The announcements of new issues on the Internet Monthly Report
are sent to the IETF-Announce list and to this IMR list.

Requests to be ADDED or DELETED from the Internet Monthly report list
should be sent to "majordomo@isi.edu" with the message body either
"subscribe imr" or "unsubscribe imr".

Details on obtaining the current IMR, or back issues, via FTP or EMAIL
may be obtained by sending an EMAIL message to "rfc-info@ISI.EDU" with
the message body "help: ways_to_get_imrs".  For example:

        To: rfc-info@ISI.EDU
        Subject: getting imrs

   THE US DOMAIN REGISTRY

   THE US DOMAIN
   =============

   The US Domain registration information is available online at
   http://www.isi.edu/us-domain.

   Much of the processing of the requests to the third level domain name
   is now automated. In particular, most requests to register names in
   localities already delegated are automatically forwarded to the
   administrator of that locality.

   US DOMAIN ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION
   ====================================

           EMAIL/FAX            3284

   OTHER US DOMAIN MESSAGES include referrals to other subdomains or
   to/from the InterNic, phone calls, modifications, application
   requests, discussion and clarification of the requests, questions
   about names, resolving technical problems with zone files and name
   servers, and whois listings.

MERIT INTERNET ENGINEERING
--------------------------

   This report summarizes July 1998 activities of Merit's Internet
   Engineering group.

   Merit is pleased to announce the 1.0 Beta release of the Internet
   Routing Registry Daemon (IRRd):

           http://www.merit.edu/radb/

   IRRd is designed as a stand-alone routing registry database and
   address allocation server. IRRd supports both RIPE-181 and Routing
   Policy Specification Language (RPSL) whois and RAToolSet queries, as
   well as database management tasks, including mirroring and object
   submission.  Future versions will support object authentication and
   notification. The IRRd server features a Cisco Systems-like
   management and configuration interface.

   The IRRd architecture was designed to address performance problems
   with the original RAWhoisd and RADB databases.  The current IRRd
   version supports router configurations up to 600% faster than
   previously.  The IRRd server also supports indexing to disk and
   memory, determines database syntax dynamically, and indexes the
   entire IRR in about a minute.

   Although this is a beta release, the software is currently in
   production use as the main RABD (whois.ra.net) server.

   When used in conjunction with policy tools such as RtConfig, Roe, and
   Aoe, the IRRd server allows:

     - Automated generation of router configuration files and
       access-lists
     - Internet topology visualization
     - Network troubleshooting and debugging

   IRRd is freely available and may be redistributed so long as the
   University of Michigan copyright is preserved.  Development of the
   RPSL portions of IRRd were supported by the National Science
   Foundation (NCR-9321060). All other activities were supported by
   Merit Network, Inc.

Internet Monthly Report                                        July 1998


   Ongoing IRRd activities rely on significant efforts by a number of
   Beta testers, including Kevin Oberman (ESnet), Mark Prior
   (connect.com.au pty ltd), John Heasley (Verio), George Matey (Bay
   Networks), WeeSan Lee (USC/ISI), and Pierre Thibaudeau (Teleglobe).
   Many thanks for your suggestions and support!

   We will be updating the IRRd source code periodically to incorporate
   bug fixes and feature enhancements.  The IRRd development team at
   Merit includes Gerald Winters, Craig Labovitz, Tom Spindler, Jake
   Khuon, and Susan Rebecca Harris.

   A mailing list, irrd-discuss@merit.edu, has been created for IRRd
   users to share experiences and advice. Subscribe by sending mail to
   irrd-discuss-request@merit.edu.

   * New RFCs added to queue throughout the month

   The Requests for Comments (RFCs) are a series of notes, started in
   1969, about the Internet (originally the ARPANET). The notes discuss
   many aspects of computing and computer communication focusing in
   networking protocols, procedures, programs, and concepts, but also
   including meeting notes, opinion, and sometimes humor. The
   specification documents of the Internet protocol suite, as defined by
   the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and its steering group
   (the IESG), are published as RFCs.

   RFCs-to-be are edited by the RFC Editor.  RFCs enter the RFC Editor's
   work queue either by an action of the IESG or by independent
   submission.  Most independent submissions are referred to the IESG to
   check for overlap with IETF work.  The IESG might put a hold on a
   document to gather more input from its members.  The wait for an RFC
   to be published varies as there can be unforeseen complications
   (typically editorial matters that need clarification from the
   author).  Documents can be removed from the publication queue if they
   are found to be insufficient or incorrect or if the IESG asks the
