Reported by Scott Brim/Cornell University
AGENDA
Report on Europe by Mats Brunell Introduction to TEWG by Scott Brim
Decisions on initial action items
MINUTES
RIPE connects to 13,000 IP hosts and 95 organizations in Europe. RIPE
agreement with RARE last week removes political obsticals to IP in
Europe. RIPE is only a coordination activity; not a service provider.
They need a European 'root server'.
They are setting up databases at KTH, CWI, and INRIA.
Four Task Forces
o Connectivity and Routing
o Network Management and Operations
o Domain Name Systems
o Formal Coordination
Four Hubs
o NORDUnet; KTH in Stockholm
o EUnet: CWI in Amsterdam
o CERN in Switzerland
o INRIA
Trans-Atlantic Links
T1 from Ithaca, NY to CERN due in spring. Will connect directly into
NSFNET. 56kb/s from JvNC to NORDUnet 56kb/s from SURAnet to CWI 9.6kb/s
from NYSERnet to Karlsruhe 56kb/s from JvNC to INRIA

Introduction to TEWG by Scott Brim
There are a number of groups engineering interconnectivity among
components of the Internet (e.g., the FRICC Engineering Planning Group,
the FARnet Technical Committee, and groups involved with geographic
areas such as California or the northeast). TEWG will not try to
replace these groups as a single forum where all such decisions should
be made; on the contrary it will depend on their work, since there is
far too much to do in one group or mailing list. Instead it will serve
as the point of coordination for all of *them* inasmuch as they affect
one another.
TEWG will serve as a clearinghouse for interconnectivity issues which
cannot be handled in any more specialized group, for example
interactions between private and government-funded nets. Another
example is international connections. We are about to get our first
Internet loop around the world, involving federally-funded general
infrastructure nets, federally-funded mission-oriented nets, commercial
internets, and mixed private and public internets -- and at least three
countries. TEWG will act as a forum for coordinating such situations.
TEWG will be both reactive and proactive in dealing with these problems.
We will also gather and share knowledge in the form of RFCs.
Discussion
Discussion centered around what work the group should be doing and what
needed to be done soon.
Action Items, to be done before next meeting:
o Explore interactions between VMNET logical topology and Internet
topology. -- Scott Brim
o Write CSnet plans for using multiple connections to NSFNET. -- Dan
Long
o Write requirements for useful database on inter-AS connectivity
(initial step before taking a survey). Start collecting sample
maps, tools, and data. -- Paul Tsuchiya
o Write CA*NET plans for using multiple connections. -- Dennis
Ferguson.
o Start a generic routing policy paper for mid-level networks. Will
have at least two sections: "General Principles" and "Rules of
Thumb" (including things to watch out for when making changes) --
Kent England, Dave O'Leary, Gene Hastings, Vince Fuller, and Matt
Mathis
o Explore match/mismatch of BGP with real inter-AS needs -- Guy Almes
and Matt Mathis
o Write an RFC on "What is an AS?" -- Guy Almes
o Liaison with ORWG -- Paul Tsuchiya
o Liaison with RIPE -- to be determined; Scott Brim will follow up
with Phill Gross, RIPE Connectivity and Routing WG.
