               EUnet Offers Free UUCP Maps Service


EUnet is announcing an open, no-charge UUCP maps service  provided
on  request  to  any  UUCP  network  in  Europe.  This service is
designed to help UUCP nets work smoothly and reliably, with effi-
cient and coordinated routing.


The Service:

The service is open to all UUCP nets in all countries where EUnet
operates  a backbone: nearly every country in Europe.  Interested
UUCP network operators should contact the EUnet backbone  in  the
country in which they operate.

All maps will follow the general  syntax  requirements  for  UUCP
maps.

Maps will reside at EUnet national backbone sites  and  will  au-
tomatically become part of the EUnet maps exchange system.

Participating UUCP networks will  be  expected  to  maintain  the
currency  of their UUCP maps entries.  EUnet will provide the ser-
vice of checking maps for errors, and return them for  correction
to the participating network.

Coordination at the European level  will  be  provided  by  EUnet
technical operations staff at CWI in Amsterdam.


General Guidelines and Caveats:

Listing Links

Our offer of this service does not automatically give other  nets
permission  to  list links to EUnet sites. For permission to list
links, please contact the EUnet backbone in the country in  which
your network operates.

Responsible Routing and Transit Traffic

To protect other networks, routing information between two  sites
or  nets that causes unwanted transit traffic to some third party
nets will be removed upon request by the third party; the  origi-
nator  of the routing information will be notified immediately so
that they can make corrections.  Please note also that this  ser-
vice  does  not  automatically permit other nets to use EUnet for
transit traffic.  We are open  to  this,  but  only  by  specific
agreement with other interested networks.


and.....

Please contact your national EUnet backbone for details on  using
this service for your network.

We encourage other UUCP networks to join us in sharing  resources
(leased  lines,  for  example).  Any opportunity we take to share
resources will advance networking overall.
