More information & Agendas

EOF tutorial

After the success of the EOF one day tutorial at the previous RIPE meeting, another one is planned for the RIPE 31 Meeting. It will be organised by Peter Lothberg. The subject will be announced later - it will certainly deal with advanced Internet technology.

RPSL course

The RIPE NCC, together with the USC Information Sciences Institute will be organizing an in-depth tutorial on Internet Routing Coordination.

In the tutorial, we will introduce the Internet Routing Registry (IRR), explaining how to register and query routing policy objects. After a brief introduction to routing policies (policies as used in the Internet today and BGP mechanisms to implement those policies), we will discuss the new Routing Policy Specification Language (RPSL), the IETF proposed standard language for specifying Internet routing policy. RPSL is currently being deployed by IRR participants and will replace RIPE-181, the current IRR routing policy specification language. RPSL provides substantial extensions to RIPE-181, making it possible to specify a much richer set of routing policies.

Attendees should understand basic BGP operations, but need not be familiar with the IRR.

The tutorial is free to RIPE Meeting attendees, and advance registration is required. Use the RIPE Meeting registration page to register for this tutorial. See also RFC2280

Agenda for the Test-Traffic BOF session

Agenda for the Test-Traffic BOF session.
========================================

RIPE-31
Thursday, Sept 24, 1998, 11.00-12.30
Room #3

Goal: discuss the project in detail with hosts of test-boxes, future
hosts of test-boxes, other people interested in this work. Get some idea
whether people think that this is a useful project and about the
direction that the project should follow in the future. 

0.  Administrativa.
    - Agenda bashing.
    - Scribe.

1.  Status of the project (HU).
    - Installation of test-boxes.
    - Problems with installation of the antenna and how to solve them.
    - Analysis of the data 
    - Discussion

2.  Discussion on how to proceed with the project in 1999.
    - Are the results that we've produced so-far useful? 
    - What other numbers/results are people interested in?  
    - More test-boxes? Where to install them?  Funding?
    - Other experiments that can be done with the test-boxes.
    - Interaction between the hosts of the test-boxes and the Test-Traffic
      group at the NCC (see also point #3).
      
3.  Future of the Test-Traffic BoF.
     So far, the test-traffic project was in a development stage.  This has
     changed over the last few months when we started to do regular measurements
     of the delays between the test-boxes.  During the development stage, there
     was little interaction between the TT group and the host of the test-boxes
     or the group of people who will eventually benefit from hosting a box.  

     In order to improve the interaction between the TT-group and the hosts of
     the boxes, we suggest to establish a working group to discuss the
     test-traffic project.  In the future, the group can also discuss results
     of other, related, projects.

     In order to establish a WG, we need a document describing the goals of
     the group and a chairperson.  If anybody wants to volunteer, please contact
     me before the meeting.

     In the meeting, we can discuss this idea as well as the exact goals
     of the group.
