mapping ip addresses

The best map (cartographic projection) to use to draw IP addreses (or points) onto a map is when the lat.log coordinates map easily with the x,y grid from the map.

Use the NASA "Blue Marble" set, the m82 projection.

9.3.6 Definitive Software Library

The ‘Definitive software library’ (DSL) is the term used to describe a secure compound in which the definitive authorised versions of all software CIs are stored and protected. This one storage area may in reality consist of one or more software libraries or file-storage areas that should be separate from development, test or live file-store areas. It contains the master copies of all controlled software in an organisation. The DSL should include definitive copies of purchased software (along with licence documents or information), as well as software developed on site. Master copies of controlled documentation for a system will also be stored in the DSL in electronic form.

The exact configuration of the DSL that is required for Release Management should be defined before development commences. The DSL forms part of the Release policy or Change and Configuration management plan for the organisation. The definition should include:

• medium, physical location, hardware and software to be used, if kept online (a DSL can simply be a secure tape library, if properly controlled and catalogued) – some Configuration Management support tools incorporate software libraries, which can be regarded as a logical part of a DSL
  
• naming conventions for filestore areas and physical media
  
• environments supported, e.g. test and live environments
  
• security arrangements for submitting Changes and issuing software, plus backup and recovery procedures
  
• the scope of the DSL: e.g. source code, object code from controlled builds and associated documentation
  
• retention period for old Releases of software
  
• capacity plans for the DSL and procedures for monitoring growth in size
  
• audit procedures
  

procedures to ensure that the DSL is protected from erroneous or unauthorised Change (e.g. entry and exit criteria for items).
