to first time attendees. General information about RIPE and the RIPE
NCC will also be presented.

Forum)
- This EOF program is scheduled to take place on Tuesday 12 September,
2000 from 10:00 - 17:00.
The morning session: Wireless and IP.
1. UMTS (speaker to be confirmed)

- DNS-sec Workshop
- Tuesday 12 September, 10:00 - 17:00
This workshop regarding the new secure DNS extensions to the domain
name system (DNSSEC) is held to gather operational experience from dealing
with available software and tools, and to discuss various aspects of
the protocol and its implications on the DNS business as a whole, e.g.,
relationships between registries, domain name holders, registrars, and
DNS operators. The workshop will start at 10:00 AM with presentations
about the general structure of DNSSEC and the various tools used during
the following hands-on session. After that, we will, together, try to
establish a local DNS tree that can handle authenticated DNS data transfer
properly.
The participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops with
some version of Unix (NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, any Linux, Solaris,
SCO ...). A few Unix workstations will be provided on site for people
without Unix laptops, but they are a very limited resource. The participants
are expected to have working knowledge of Unix and good knowledge
of traditional DNS. Free DNS software (BIND v9.0) for installation
at the workshop will be provided on site.
And, finally, this is _NOT_ a course, this is a workshop, where
you are supposed to put substantial energy into solving problems yourself,
and work and explore together with others to share and gain experience
in a new field, which isn't mature enough for courses yet.
Workshop leaders:
Lars-Johan Liman, Royal Institute of Technology, hostmaster for the
Stockholm root name server, chair of the IETF DNS operations working
group.
Ed Lewis, TISlabs, a sub-division of Network Associates, Inc., author
of the dns_signer tool and several documents regarding DNSSEC, and
active in the DNSSEC design efforts.
- Multicast Routing
Workshop
- Tuesday 12 September, 10:00 - 17:00
The tutorial focuses on multicast applications and therefore the largest
part of the tutorial will be dedicated to demonstrating three selected
applications. A demo network with servers and end-user stations will be
set up for this purpose. We will pay attention to how to configure the
applications for multicast, and also to validating and troubleshooting
the multicast operation. The latter will liaise to IP Multicast routing
whenever appropriate (e.g. when doing application troubleshooting), and
therefore the tutorial should be equally interesting to network engineers
as to application engineers.
The three selected applications are:
1) RealNetworks (Patrick De Muynck, BELNET)
In the immediate future, live and scheduled broadcast of audio/video
is arguably the application on the public Internet that will benefit
most of IP Multicast. Not suprisingly, today's streaming softwares are
all multicast enabled.
In the tutorial we will focus on the popular RealNetworks product and
discuss its deployment in IP Multicast enabled networks and transition
issues from unicast-only to multicast enabled. We will discuss the multicast
features in great detail, and also similarities and dissimilarities
with other streaming softwares. Attention to standards and standards
compliance will be paid.
2) SSM-enabled broadcast (Arjen Boers, Cisco)
The tutorial focuses on multicast applications and therefore the largest
part of the tutorial will be dedicated to demonstrating three selected
applications. A demo network with servers and end-user stations will
be set up for this purpose. We will pay attention to how to configure
the applications for multicast, and also to validating and troubleshooting
the multicast operation. The latter will liaise to IP Multicast routing
whenever appropriate (e.g. when doing application troubleshooting),
and therefore the tutorial should be equally interesting to network
engineers as to application engineers. Moreover, at the end of the tutorial
Cisco will answer questions about SSM and multicast deployment issues
in general, in a 45' Q&A session.
3) VCON Interactive Multicast (Patrick De Muynck, BELNET)
The deployment of H.323 MCUs as a solution for multipoint IP (video)conferencing
has drawbacks which may be more or less important, depending on the
application and the environment. These drawbacks include financial implications,
administrative overhead, scalability problems, robustness... Although
it does not provide all features of an MCU, multipoint IP (video)conferencing
based on IP Multicast may be a very good solution that addresses the
aformentioned drawbacks in a nice way. In this context, we will discuss
the underlying model of "VCON Interactive Multicast" in detail, and
we will relate this to the well known models of H.323 and the MBone
tools. Also the relation with streaming will be touched upon.
- IP Request

Opening Reception. The Opening Reception will take place on Tuesday

- RIPE Dinner
- The RIPE dinner will take place aboard the historical saloon boat
the "Prins van Oranje".
Cruising around scenic Amsterdam on this remarkable vessel will
be like taking a voyage back in time to a Grand Cafe in the roaring
twenties. The 53-meter-long "Prins van Oranje" was built
in 1908 and is considered one of Holland's most beautiful classical
ships. With a reputation for culinary excellence, the cruise is guaranteed
to be a memorable evening for all.
