official policy, procedures and other information of concern to
management personnel at DDN facilities. Back issues may be read
through the TACNEWS server ("@n" command at the TAC) or may be
obtained by FTP (or Kermit) from the NIC.DDN.MIL host [192.67.67.20]

1. This message provides guidance and status information
concerning the Defense Data Network (DDN) Mailbridge (MB) and the
two functions which it fulfills: (1) Internet Routing Service
(IRS) using Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) and (2) DDN
connectivity to the non MILNET Internet, commonly referred to as
the NSFNET. Request widest dissemination. The following topics
will be addressed:
-- EGP Update Options (see also Para 8, below, for detailed
assignments).
-- Randolph Mailbridge Network Address Change Effective
9 Sep 91.
-- Non-compliance with Internet Control Message Protocol
(ICMP) Re-Direct Messages.
-- Planned Relocations for Mailbridges.
-- Planned NSFNET (Internet) Connection Changes.
-- Replacement System for MB/EGP Servers.
-- Detailed EGP Server Assignments.
2. EGP Update Options. MB software Patch 11, fully deployed as
of 30 Jul 91, provides the capability to restrict the EGP update
size by eliminating announcement of networks and gateways served
by the NSFNET and provides a default routing assignment (zero
default route) to reach those non-advertized networks. Due to the
update size exceeding 8K bytes and after consultation with
relevant gateway administrators and managers, the limited update
was activated at BMILBBN, BMILISI, BMILDCEC, and BMILOAK. Full
MILNET/NSFNET network update announcements continue to be provided
by BMILRAN, BMILAMES, and BMILMITRE at this time. See Ref A for
details. See Para 8, below, for specific assignments.
3. Randolph MB Network Address Change Effective 9 Sep 91. As a
result of the planned deactivation and removal of PSN 101 at
Randolph AFB TX on 9 Sep 91, it is necessary to re-home the MB to
node 51. The new network address is 26.1.0.51. All gateways
acquiring EGP updates from the MB at Randolph should change their
software accordingly. Use of BMILAMES (26.20.0.16) or BMILMITRE
(26.20.0.17) as a secondary source for full EGP updates, pending
required changes, may be used as an interim alternative. However,
strict compliance with the assignments detailed in Para 8, below,
is critical to overall operational effectiveness of the EGP
service.
4. Non Compliance with ICMP Re-Direct Messages. When the MB is
used as a default route to other addresses, the MB searches its
tables to see if a direct route is available. If so, the MB sends
a protocol message to the originating address of that packet
advising of the direct address. It is expected that properly
implemented Internet protocol software will respond to that re-
direct command for all subsequent packets destined for that
address. Many hosts/gateways are not responding to the re-direct
commands, which results in extraneous packets (i.e., packet plus
re-direct message plus retransmission for every packet) traversing
the network and poorer response to the user. This mis-use also
adds additional processing requirements to an already stressed MB.
In the future, chronic failure to respond to re-direct commands
will be brought to the attention of the parent service/agency for
corrective action. Continued non-compliance may result in denial
of re-direct service to the offending host/gateway with resultant
lost traffic.
5. Planned MB Relocations. As a result of MILNET re-designs
driven by changing requirements and funding cutbacks, the packet
switching nodes currently connecting BMILAMES (26.20.0.16),
BMILISI (26.6.0.103), and BMILMITRE (26.20.0.17) Mailbridges will
be deactivated and the Mailbridges re-homed. As soon as a firm
re-home location and schedule is determined, an announcement of
the new addresses will be provided.
6. Planned Changes to the MILNET/NSFNET Connections. In an
effort to provide more efficient and economical service to those
subscribers exchanging traffic between the MILNET and the NSFNET,
or non-DoD Internet, it is planned to provide this
interconnectivity via Internet protocol routers to be located at
Ft Detrick (for the fix-east connection) and at Oakland (Navy) CA
(for the fix-west connection). MILNET entry points for this
Internet traffic will be at one of eight IP router locations. This
change will off load this store and forward function from
BMILMITRE and BMILAMES Mailbridges and provide a more efficient
and economical exchange of MILNET/NSFNET traffic. Further
information and specific address assignments will be provided as
this plan matures. In the interim, Internet traffic should be
routed as specified in Ref C and DDN Management Bulletin 74.
7. Replacement System for MB/EGP Servers. As announced at Ref B, a
replacement system for Internet routing service is required because of
current Mailbridge hardware and software limitations in addition to
Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) limitations. A detailed plan
describing this replacement system, along with a schedule of events,
is being forwarded under separate cover to principal offices of the
Deparment of Defense Services and Agencies for review, comment, and
concurrence. The plan includes a migration from EGP to Border Gateway
Protocol (BGP) and replacement of the current Mailbridge hardware and
software within the next two years. EGP will be supported, at least
to some degree, until all gateways can convert to BGP. Status updates
and required modifications to subscriber gateways will be published as
needed.
8. Detailed EGP Server Assignments.
a. Strict compliance with the assignments enumerated below is
essential to providing adequate service to all users. Failure to
comply with these assignments could result in the denial of
Internet routing service updates and/or exchange of traffic with
the non DoD Internet. Refs C and D previously requested
assistance in this matter.
b. These EGP Server assignments supersede those provided by Ref C
and DDN Management Bulletin 74.
c. Air Force concentrators will continue to use either
BMILDCEC or BMILOAK as their EGP servers.
d. Internet traffic assignments will remain as assigned by
Ref C and DDN Management Bulletin 74 (see Para 6, above).
e. Host/Gateway Administrators should initiate compliance
with this message as soon as possible with complete compliance
prior to 30 Sep 91.
f. Questions or issues should be directed to the DDN
Monitoring Center Trouble Desks:
(1) CONUS: 1-800-451-7413 or (703) 486-1982 or
(DSN) 231-1787.
(2) Europe: (ETS) 430-5532 or (MIL) 2729-5532 or
(DSN) 314-430-5532 or (CIV) 011-49-680-5532
(3) Pacific: (808) 656-1472 or (DSN) 315-456-1472
g. The following network addresses apply:
Mailbridge Name Site Location Network Address
AMES Moffett Field CA 26.20.0.16
BBN Cambridge MA 26.20.0.72
DCEC Reston VA 26.21.0.104
ISI Marina Del Rey CA 26.6.0.103
MITRE McLean VA 26.20.0.17
OAK Oakland CA 26.1.0.148
RAN Randolph AFB TX 26.3.0.101 (until 9 sep 91)
RAN Randolph AFB TX 26.1.0.51 (after 9 sep 91)
h. Specific EGP assignments. Each gateway should acquire as
EGP peers (neighbors) only those two EGP servers assigned. Failure
to comply may result in erroneous/conflicting updates or
loss of capability to exchange traffic with both MILNET and non
DoD Internet gateways.
