- The DDN MANAGEMENT BULLETIN is distributed online by the DDN Network
- Information Center under DCA contract as a means of communicating
- official policy, procedures and other information of concern to
- management personnel at DDN facilities. Back issues may be read
- through the TACNEWS server ("@n" command at the TAC) or may be
- obtained by FTP (or Kermit) from the NIC.DDN.MIL host [192.67.67.20]
- using login="anonymous" and password="guest". The pathname
- for bulletins is DDN-NEWS:DDN-MGT-BULLETIN-nn.TXT (where "nn" is the
- bulletin number).

- MILNET Gateway and Internet Traffic Homing Announcement
-
-
-
- PURPOSE:
-
- This announcement defines software configuration changes that must be made
- to each MILNET gateway in order to acquire Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP)
- Service. It also defines software configuration changes that must be
- applied to MILNET hosts sending traffic to subscribers on the Internet.
-
- This announcement replaces DDN Management Bulletin 49, ARPANET and MILNET
- Host Rehoming Announcement dated 23 DEC 88 and DDN Management Bulletin 53,
- ARPANET and MILNET Gateway Rehoming Announcement dated 12 JAN 89.
-
- -- For EGP Service, these changes are required due to the extensive
- growth in the number of gateways served on the MILNET and to alleviate
- performance problems in the EGP Servers.
-
- -- For Internet Traffic, these changes are required as a result of the
- termination of the ARPANET and the replacement connections between MILNET
- and the NSFNET.
-
- (NOTE: Air Force Concentrators/Gateways are exempt
- from this change. Through agreements reached
- between DCA and the Air Force, those Concentrators
- will be assigned to one of two EGP Servers (DCEC
- or LBL). The Air Force has the capability to
- implement global changes to their Concentrators
- and has agreed to test and possibly implement
- several changes in the EGP process which will be
- beneficial to all.)
-
-
- A secondary purpose of this Bulletin is to acquire information concerning
- the capabilities and limitations of gateways on the MILNET in order to
- design and implement future changes to improve EGP Service. Gateway
- administrators are requested to identify their capability to: (1) modify
- EGP service parameters that will permit negotiation of updates at variable
- intervals from three minutes to one hour in order to reduce the frequency
- of updates, and (2) request EGP service from a single server (versus
- automatically sending to two servers) and modify that assignment quickly if
- needed. Also, as the number of networks in the Internet grows, the size of
- the EGP update continues to grow, and may exceed 4K bytes over the next
- year. Please note any limitations in your gateways to accommodate such
- large updates. This information should be sent to:
-
- Defense Communications Engineering Center
- Code DRFDS (Mr Dennis Morris)
- 1860 Wiehle Avenue
- Reston Virginia 22090-5500
-
- (Electronic Mail Address is MorrisD@imo-uvax.dca.mil)
-
-
- TECHNICAL NOTES:
-
- The upper range value of the EGP neighbor acquisition poll interval was
- recently increased from 600 seconds to 3600 seconds to permit less frequent
- polling for those gateways that can effectively function with an extended
- polling time. Reducing the number of polls will, of course, reduce the
- loading on the EGP Servers. Gateway administrators are encouraged to
- implement the most INFREQUENT poll time that can be supported. Contact the
- Mailbridge Hot Line at 1-800-492-4992 or (617) 873-3571 for clarification
- and/or assistance in defining EGP Server interface characteristics.
-
- EGP Server assignments are based primarily upon the network minimum hop
- path between the Packet Switching Node (PSN) to which the Gateway is
- connected and the PSN to which the EGP Server is connected. This logical
- path is dependent upon network topology and does not necessarily have any
- geographical basis.
-
- Internet Traffic assignments are based upon historical traffic volumes.
- The use of MITRE as the primary address for most hosts is the result of the
- predominant Internet Traffic MILNET host being assigned to AMES for its
- primary address.
-
-
-
- SCHEDULE:
-
- It is intended that these changes be made on a single week-end. Changes
- may be implemented beginning at 2100 hours local time on Friday, 10 AUG 90
- and should be completed no later than 0600 hours local time on Monday,
- 13 AUG 90.
-
- Questions or issues should be directed to:
- BBNCC Mailbridge Hot Line at 1-800-492-4992 or (617) 873-3571.
-
- It is critical that these changes be accomplished; otherwise, EGP
- service and exchange of traffic with the Internet may be inadequate.
- These changes are designed to result in equal sharing of the user
- demand over the Mailbridges. The changes will be verified and
- non-compliance will be reported to the parent Service/Agency
- organization for corrective action.
-
-
-
- NETWORK ADDRESSES:
-
- This section provides a list of assignments for the PSN to which the
- gateways or hosts are homed and their assigned EGP Servers and Internet
- Traffic Servers.
-
- -- For Gateway Administrators.
-
- The entries under the column heading "EGP Servers" provides a list
- of assignments between the PSN to which the gateways are homed and their
- defined EGP Servers. Each Gateway should acquire as EGP peers (neighbors)
- only those two Servers assigned. As an example, all gateways connected to
- MILNET PSN Number 64 (ROBIN) should assign MITRE (26.20.0.17) and, if
- necessary, BBN (26.20.0.72) as their EGP servers.
-
-
- -- For Host Administrators.
-
- The entries under the column heading "Internet Traffic" provide a
- list of assignments between the PSN to which hosts are homed and their
- default gateway or Internet Traffic Server. As an example, all hosts
- connected to MILNET PSN Number 64 (ROBIN) should send non-MILNET traffic to
- MITRE (26.20.0.17), or to AMES (26.20.0.16) when MITRE is unavailable.
