Problem Description:
                Merit is seeing 5-6% loss on the T3 between ENSS-134, and
               CNSS-49. Had noticed that interface go down, and take errors
               ~25 minutes ago. Have authorized Merit to release the
               circuit to MCI at 20:00 EDT. At this time we will route via
               the T1. MCI is currently running a history on the circuit.

Problem Solution:
                Merit had MCI test the circuit, and things came clean.
               Has been running cleanly since 8/27/92 when MCI came out
               of the circuit.

Chris;

There was/is such a working group and here is the charter (which you
will find on nnsc.nsf.net in /ietf/dhc-charter.txt).  You may also read
the minutes, the latest of which is
nnsc.nsf.net:/ietf/dhc-minutes-92mar.txt, so it looks like they are
still at it or nearly done.

BTW, current WGs are itemized in 1wg-summary.txt in nnsc.nsf.net:/ietf.

Description of Working Group:

The purpose of this Working Group is the investigation of network
configuration and reconfiguration management.  We will determine those
configuration functions that can be automated, such as Internet address
assignment, gateway discovery and resource location, and those which
cannot be automated (i.e., those that must be managed by network
administrators).

Goals and Milestones: 
 
          Write a bootp extensions document.                                   

     Done 

We will identify (in the spirit of the Gateway Requirements and Host 
          Requirements RFCs) the information required for hosts and
gateways 
          to: Exchange Internet packets with other hosts, Obtain packet
routing
          information, Access the Domain Name System, and Access other
local 
          and remote services.                                                 

     Done 

We will summarize those mechanisms already in place for managing the 
          information identified by Objective 1.                               

     Done 

We will suggest new mechanisms to manage the information identified 
          by Objective 1.                                                      

     Done 

Having established what information and mechanisms are required for 
          host operation, we will examine specific scenarios of dynamic
host 
          configuration and reconfiguration, and show how those
scenarios can 
          be resolved using existing or proposed management mechanisms.

    Subject: dynamic ip binding protocol?

         Rumor once had it that there might have been an IETF working group 
    somewhere that was trying to come up with a dynamic IP address binding 
    protocol
    
         1  was/is there?
    
Yes, it's called Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

         2  did they succeed?
    
Yes, partly.  The server to server stuff is not yet really started
though Ralph Droms (he chairs the working group and has been doing
much of the work) has some ideas in progress about how to do it and
graduate students to go try it out.

         3  if so, was there an RFC and what ws it if there was?
    
It's coming if it's not out already.  Look in the internet-drafts area
to find the current drafts.  Look for files with "dhcp" in their
names.

         4  if there is no such group, why not?
    
NA.

What Leo is asking for is software for the SUNOS to
support DIAL-UP/OUT SLIP.

You can send me mail on this and I will forward it to LPH.

The PARADIGM's ability to UUCP to MIT-EDDIE seems to be stuck now.
And PARADIGM won't have internet capability back until we get
the dialup slip capability set up.

               daemon rcp_routed. The window is 0500-0800, although the
               actual downtime to ENSS-134 is not expected to last the

Problem Solution:

               routed to NSR. Have confirmed that ENSS-134 is running
               the new version.

     Rumor once had it that there might have been an IETF working group 
somewhere that was trying to come up with a dynamic IP address binding 
protocol

     1  was/is there?

     2  did they succeed?

     3  if so, was there an RFC and what ws it if there was?

     4  if there is no such group, why not?

     Seems to me that dynamic IP address binding would solve couple 
problem and just be a very useful thing to be able to do.   One example 
would be that of having more that 254 hosts on a class B subnet,assuming 
8 bit host numbers.  As long as fewer the 254 hosts were up at the same 
time this would work well.  I have a need for just such a protocol.

Problem Solution:
               Cisco provided a fixed image which has been running ok in
               MIT3 since 9/9 and was just loaded in the core on 9/11.

This seems to be covered in some detail in the Craig Hunt's book TCP/IP 
Network Administration published by O'Reilly & Associates Inc. See 
the latter half of chapter 6.

Problem Description:
                MIT2-GW was not sending IGRP updates to any of it's
               neighbors. For 8 minutes it stopped sending updates.
               Reloaded router, and it is now running tli(53) which has
               a BGP bug fix. MIT2 was down 18:40-18:42. We will monitor
               it closely, and close the ticket if stable over the wknd.

Problem Solution:
               Cisco fixed bug that caused IGRP updates to stop going out.
               This version was loaded into the core this morning.
