Bringing the power to the people(tm) is really the way to go.

When people can use it then they might start using it and demanding it
from their ISP's. When they don't know it exists or cannot use it
because there is nobody providing it at all, they will never figure out
how much fun it is and the possibilities it can give them.

m6bone is doing a good job at this, getting more people connected though
is the next step. I sincerely hope that ISP's would start offering
multicast connectivity. They could do it in one go together with IPv6
connectivity. There are a few ISP's doing this as a trial/experimental
service. This allows their tech folks to play with it while not
demanding too much time from them when it breaks...

just my two rapfen... ;)

I have always believed this sort of technology is driven by domestic use and the
missing component is 'always-on' Internet to the home (as opposed to paying per
minute of usage).  This started to appear around me (UK) in 2004; give it
another two years to gain market penetration and this technology will be viable

IETF62 Network and Terminal Room Information

2005-03-07 Thread Jim Martin
Network and Terminal Room Information
IETF 62 ? Minneapolis, MN
Terminal Room
--
The Terminal Room is located in Marquette and Hennepin on the second 
floor of the Minneapolis Hilton and is open 24 hours a day beginning at 
4pm on Sunday March 6th and ending at 12 noon on Friday March 11th. A 
help desk is being provided and will be manned from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM 
every day.  The room itself consists of approximately 120 seats 
providing wired 10/100/1000 Ethernet access and 110v North American 
power ports.  There are also two duplex printers available. Please note 
that this terminal room has, in fact, no terminals, PCs or other 
user-accessible machines. It is simply a place to get power and wired 
Internet access.

When using the Ethernet connections in the Terminal Room, IPv4 
addressing is provided via DHCP. Please use Dynamic Autoconfiguration 
for IPv6. Unlike the wireless networks, IP multicast is enabled for the 
terminal room network.

Network Basics
-
The IETF 62 network connects to the Internet via a metropolitan gigabit 
Ethernet link with a backup 54-megabit wireless link. The entire event 
is addressed out of the 130.129.0.0/16 block for IPv4 and 
2001:468:19ff::/48 for IPv6. IPv4 multicast and IPv6 are being provided 
from Abilene/I2.

Wireless

An 802.11 a/b/g wireless network is being provided liberally in the 
Minneapolis Hilton. The areas being specifically covered are the 
meeting rooms and hallways in the conference area, the executive 
lounge, the lobby, and the bar area.

To use this network, associate with the beaconed SSID of ietf62. IPv4 
addressing is provided via DHCP. For IPv6 and IPv4 combined services, 
associate with the open but un-beaconed SSID ietf62-ipv6 . IPv6 
clients should use Dynamic Autoconfiguration. Due to bandwidth concerns 
IP multicast is not available on this network.

For those interested in a bit more link-layer security, a 128-bit WEP 
enabled SSID is available. It must be manually configured, as there is 
no beacon for this network, The SSID is ietf62-wep and the WEP key is 
wepisinsecure (Hex: 7765706973696e736563757265)

For substantially better link-layer security, we are providing dynamic 
WEP keying using 802.1X.  It also must be manually configured because 
there is no beacon. Note that is dynamic WEP, not TKIP or WPA.

To use 802.1X:
1. Associate to SSID: ietf62-dot1x
2. Use PEAP/MSCHAPv2, TTLS/PAP, TTLS/CHAP, TLS
3. Do Not Verify Server Cert and we wont verify yours :)
4. UserName and/or Realm can be anything, as well as outer tunnel 
identity for TTLS.
ex.  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
5. Password must be  ietf62

The proper operation of the wireless network requires the assistance of 
all users.  One of the most significant issues with wireless 
performance in past IETF meetings has been wireless clients 
automatically, or accidentally initiating ad-hoc networks that act as 
the official IETF wireless network, causing other users to associate 
with false IETF wireless networks.  Therefore, please disable your 
client's ability to create an ad-hoc network and as well as the ability 
to automatically join an ad-hoc network.  If you are using Windows XP 
or Mac OS X 10.3 to manage your wireless client, the instructions to 
disable creation of ad-hoc networks are listed below. If you are using 
other systems, please do what ever your particular wireless client 
management system requires to turn off ad-hoc networks.


Instructions for Mac OS X
--
  Open System Preferences - Network - Airport and un-check the box 
for Allow this computer to create networks.

Instructions for Windows XP
-
  Open Properties - wireless networks - advanced and then select 
access point (infrastructure) networks only and unselect 
automatically connect to non-preferred networks.

Printing
--
Two printers are located in the Terminal Room and are available to all 
IETF users. The printers themselves are HP LaserJet 4200Ns which are 
Postscript capable and have the duplex option installed. The printers 
are accessible via IPP, LPD, and Windows Printing (via samba).
	IPP - URI ipp://lpd.ietf62.ietf.org/printer
	cups - browsing enabled and should be discovered automatically
	Mac - under Printer Setup Utility use IETF_62_Terminal_Room under 
shared printers
	Windows users - In an IE window type in 
\\lpd\terminal_room_printers A warning/error message may pop-up 
saying the server does not have the correct printer driver installed, 
just hit OK. Next an Add Printer Wizard dialogue box will appear, you 
need to select two things: In the left window (Manufacturer) select 
'HP'. Then in the right hand window (Printers), scroll down and select 
'HP LaserJet 4200N', then hit 'Ok'.
	o	You may see the status of the printer say something like 'Access 
denied, unable to connect' just ignore this, it should work fine.
	o	You may need to disable your VPN connection(s).

Need for an Agenda Cutoff date?

2005-03-07 Thread Joe Touch
Hi, all,
With agendas appearing ever later - including last night, the issue of 
cutoff dates should be revisited.

If reading the drafts to be discussed is NOT an issue, then the I-D 
cutoff dates should be dropped.

If reading the drafts IS an issue, then, by correlary, there should be a 
corresponding cutoff date for agendas - e.g., 1 week after the last 
cutoff I-D date. Jjust as I-Ds that pass the cutoffs are not published 
for this IETF, WGs that fail to meet that deadline should be CANCELLED.

Consider this a proposal, or at least a request.

[Russ Housley] MD5 and SHA-1 Status

2005-03-07 Thread Sam Hartman
---BeginMessage---
Two significant announcements have been made in the past month.
MIME-Version: 1.0

First, at the RSA Conference last month, an attack against SHA-1 was announced.
See http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/02/sha1_broken.html
for a summary of the announcement.

The attack, if it is every written up, published, and verified, is a 2^69 
work factor.
SHA-1 was designed to have a 2^80 work factor, so this is a significant 
reduction,
but we have time to figure out the best course of action.

Second, Lenstra et al announced a method for the construction of pairs of valid
X.509 certificates in which the to be signed parts form a collision for 
the MD5
hash function.  As a result the issuer signatures in the certificates will 
be the
same when the issuer uses MD5 as its hash function.  See
http://eprint.iacr.org/2005/067

This work builds on an attack on MD5 that was announced about a year ago.

Several working groups depend on one-way hash functions.  Yet, we do not think
that this topic should consume huge amounts of time in every one of these 
working
groups.  Therefore, we will be discussing this topic at SAAG on Thursday.

While it is clear that this topic will require some IETF action, it is not 
yet a crisis.
That is, we can walk to a solution, there is no need to run.

If you are interested in this topic, please join the SAAG discussion on 
Thursday.

IETF Security Area Directors,
   Russ Housley

Re: Need for an Agenda Cutoff date?

2005-03-07 Thread Tim Chown
It seems the cutoff is more often a driver to get updates written, and 00
drafts kicked off.  One alternative is to review other means to encourage
timely and regular draft updates?  This might help distribute the load
through the year rather than into three hectic chokepoints.

There is an agenda cutoff that WG chairs are supposed

 The agenda for the Working Group is due by Monday,
 February 28 at 12:00 ET (17:00 GMT).
But there were many late agendas and there was a glitch

For BOFs, the formal BOF proposal must include an agenda,

We need to try and follow our own rules next time.

Guilty (IPoIB WG Chair here) - now solution space
For BOFs, the formal BOF proposal must include an agenda,

Time to get Hard about this - if WG agendas aren't published by the 
cutoff date - the WG doesn't meet.  Anyone I've ever talked to says good 
meeting practice includes publishing an agenda - if there isn't enough 
interest in publishing an agenda, there isn't enough interest in 
attending a meeting.

If a WG is scheduled to meet on the cutoff date and there isn't an 
agenda published on the cutoff - a message goes to the WG chair (and 
maybe to the WG as well) with a warning and if they don't get an agenda 
to the IETF in 24 hours...

CANCEL THE MEETING

incoming chair ?

IETF62 Wireless Network Update

2005-03-07 Thread Jim Martin
Gentlepeople,
	We just wanted to give everyone an update on the state of the wireless 
network here at the Hilton. As most people noticed, we had severe 
problems involving APs going away starting right around 9am when the 
first meetings began. We identified and worked around the problem and 
the APs have been up and reasonably solid since mid-morning.

	However, despite the APs staying up, we continued to see problems, 
particularly on the 3rd floor.  Common symptoms were:
	- Long delays before receiving DHCP responses
	- Long first hop round trip times
	- Loss on the first hop (in the wireless domain)
	- Receiving a DHCP address, but still not having the ability to 
contact the default router

	Moving forward, we've made several configuration changes which should 
help matters, and we believe that most of the problems have been 
resolved. Please (gently) let us know if you're still seeing major 
problems. The 2.4G band (802.11b/g) is still pretty congested and has 
some inherent issues in a situation like IETF meetings, so if you have 
the option to use 802.11a, we'd suggest you do so.

	As always, any trouble reports or questions can be directed at 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

	Again, our apologies for the frustration and annoyance this is 
causing. Believe us, we want to get this to work just as much, if not 
more, than you all do!

draft filenames (Was Re: MARID back from the grave?)

2005-03-07 Thread Bruce Lilly
  Date: 2005-02-25 22:14
  From: Dave Crocker [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
 in terms of naming, I think syntactically it reduces to:
 
 
  I-D-Name= draft- owner - category = title - version
 
  owner = author-name / ietf
  ; who retains change control
 
  author-name  = { last name of first author }
 
  category= working-group / topic 
 
  working-group = { IETF working group }
 
  topic = { term under which I-D topic fits}
 
  title = { text specific to this I-D, to describe it }

No, because ABNF quoted strings denote case-insensitive matching,
whereas draft filenames are prohibited from containing upper-case
letters.  So you would need something like %x64.72.61.66.74
instead of draft, %x69.65.74.66 instead of ietf, and comments
about the upper-case prohibition regarding author names, etc.

Also, I believe that the = in the first line is a typo.

With the proposed restriction of characters to lower-case letters,
digits, and hyphen, there would probably have to be additional
commentary regarding author names (some of which contain accented
letters or use non-Latin scripts), topics, and titles.

Finally, version needs to be defined, e.g.:

   version= 2DIGIT ; starting with 00

Protocol Action: 'Removing a Restriction on the use of MPLS Explicit NULL' to Proposed Standard

2005-03-07 Thread The IESG
The IESG has approved the following document:

- 'Removing a Restriction on the use of MPLS Explicit NULL '
   draft-ietf-mpls-explicit-null-02.txt as a Proposed Standard

This document is the product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working 
Group. 

The IESG contact persons are Alex Zinin and Bill Fenner.

Technical Summary
 
   The label stack encoding for MPLS (Multi-protocol Label Switching)
   defines a reserved label value known as IPv4 Explicit NULL and a
