Korea Routing Issue  Routing problems were discussed at the special session by NSF   and NSI(NASA Internet), and HANA/SDN network managers. The goal of  this session was to solve the routing issues raised by the  second leased line to US in the engineering standpoint. We  requested to use the other leased line as a backup.   Their fist suggestion was for us to guarantee that the internal  traffics between Korean networks did not go through US.  The second suggestion was to mimize the loop in Korea, since  the loop may disrupt the routings in Internet. They asked the  clear map and routing protocol which we will set up within a  few months.    The conclusion of the discussions are as follows:  (1) The connections of Korea Backbone was suggested by ETRI,      POSTECH, KAIST. It will be setup by Nov.     NSI Backbone/Ames ------------- NSF Backbone                          |                           |     |               NSF SerfNet/SDSC                          |                           |                          |                           |                          |                           |                          | 56K/Cisco                 | 56K/Cisco                          |                           |                          |                           |                    KAIST (Daeduk) ------------- SERI (Daeduk)                          |          56K/Cisco        |                          |                           |                          |                           |                          +--------- ETRI ------------+     56K/Cisco         56K/Cisco    - HANA/SDN will be directly connected to NSI backbone     through Ames in California using Cisco router as     soon as HANA/SDN is ready.   - All connections between HANA/SDN and Kreonet except     connections shown in the above diagram will be     disconnected.   - The connections between KAIST, SERI and ETRI will be     connected via Cisco router. Only one router should     be used at each org. for those connections to avoid     confusion.   - It was suggested that the third leased line from     KREN connected to Ames backbone through Berkeley. A     delegator from Berkeley agreed to help KREN for the     connections.  (2) Action Items   - leave the current routing until reconfiguration   - NSI/NSF tell the story to SDSC.     HANA/SDN tell the story to Kreonet.   - Another meeting can be held if needed.   - IEPG will review this configuration.   - KREN is recommended to connect AMES through Berkeley.    2. IP Address Management  - NIC can give 20 unallocated addresses in principle.  - NIC requested that a representative contacts NIC for address    allocation in Korea.    3. Network Management Issue of PACCOM  Internet requested that some information on the networks for  management.   Contact    name, phone, e-mail   Hierarchy (org.)   Configuration    maps, network numbers, line databases, filters   Notification    status report,     announcement of known or planned procedure    4. How to connect internet     item   time  ---------------------------------------   get net address   2 weeks   |          v  connected status  3-4 days   |   v  router configuration  1-2 days   |   v  Routing request to MERIT(NSF) 1-2 days for US   |   double for other countries   v  MERIT configuration   |   v        DONE    5. Berkeley Project  Berkeley has a plan to set up networks among Asia and pacific  countries for research and information sharing on language,   medical center, agriculture, library, et, etc. They are going to  have a workshop with President of Pacific rim public  university at April, 1992 at Seoul N. University. They have a  plan to set up T1 connection between UCB and SNU, and  demonstrate it at the workshop.     6. Relation with APEPG  There was a suggestion that PACCOM be a representative for AP  CCIRN as a APEPG, but it was refused, since PACCOM was working  on the network operation rather than network planning.   The characteristics of PACCOM is defined as engineering  meeting on Pacific area to make and solve an engineering  issue.   III. DISCUSSION       Most issues discussed at this meeting was engineering issues       even though some planning issues were raised. USA, Australia,       and NZ (partly Japan) have regarded PACCOM as a       representative meetings of engineers from each countries.       It was recommended that technical managers from KREN and KREONET       as well as HANA/SDN attended the meeting to discuss the network        operation and management issues.
