100Mbit ISDN solution
by Luke Parrish 21 Jan '98

21 Jan '98

Hey guys. Ran into a problem the other day. A customer of mine has a 100Mbit network, with 100Mbit hubs. They want ISDN access, so they hook a Pipeline 50 to their hub, dial it up, connect to the internet. But, hey nothing on the network can see it. Doh! I didnt think about the little 10Mbit into 100Mbit hub problem. I called Ascend and they said they do not have a router than can do 100Mbit yet, does anyone here know of an ISDN router that will support 100Mbit, or some kind of AUI transceiver that may go 10 to 100? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Start by making sure your RAS users and direct customers (your network's edge) can only output packets that contain their valid source address. If everyone did this, all of the world's problems would go away; Ozone depletion, world hunger, that silly rain forest thing, Smurfs and DoS and maybe even Microsoft! :-) Best regards, David Van Allen - FASTNET(tm) / You Tools Corporation dave(a)fast.net (888)321-FAST(3278) http://www.fast.net FASTNET - Business and Personal Internet Solutions -----Original Message----- From: Eric Wieling [mailto:eric@ccti.net] Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 1998 9:45 AM To: nanog(a)merit.edu Subject: Reporting Little Blue Men Just about every night someone(s) tries to use us as the "innocent third party" in smurf attacks. Of course, we block and log all the broadcast packets. Is there any point in trying to report these attacks? Who would we report them to? We don't know what the source is, after all the address is spoofed. It seems kind of pointless to notify the victim -- they already know they have been smurfed. I want to do my part to try to stop attacks, but I'm baffled on this one. --Eric -- Eric Wieling (eric(a)ccti.net) Chesapeake Communications Corporation Sales: sales(a)ccti.net 504-585-1850, Support: support(a)ccti.net 504-525-5449 We have changed our name!

Effective Tuesday, January 20, 1998, Network Solutions, Inc. will introduce a new Registrant Name Change Agreement, http://rs.internic.net/reg-change/agreement.html, and procedure to change the name of a Registrant for a registered domain name. The instructions for completing this new Agreement are on InterNIC Registration Services' web site located at the URL http://rs.internic.net/reg-change/instructions.html. This new Agreement and procedure will affect those who wish to: 1. Correct typographical or minor errors; 2. Reflect a legal name change of the Registrant; or 3. Transfer the domain name registration to another party. This new Agreement will eventually entirely replace the current domain name transfer procedure wherein parties are required to submit a Delete and New Domain Name Registration Agreement via email to Network Solutions. The new Agreement and the old transfer procedure will both be accepted by Network Solutions through Sunday, March 1, 1998. Beginning on Monday, March 2, 1998, customers will be required to use the new Agreement to effect changes to a Registrant's name. Network Solutions believes this new Agreement will streamline the process of changing the Registrant's name for a domain name registration while affording greater legal protection to all parties involved.

Request for State of the Internet Volunteers
by William B. Norton 20 Jan '98

20 Jan '98

Hi all- The State of the Internet section of the upcoming NANOG is coming along well. I still need to get the end-user perspective of the Internet into the panel. So, for the NANOG research community, I need to find a couple of folks to answer the following 3 questions on 3-4 slides: 1) As an active Internet end-user (or one who measures end-user performance), what are the top three most pressing problems you see in the Internet? 2) Topologically, how are you connected? 3) What *quantitative* data do you have to share to show these problems? I also need 1 more medium-large size ISP to share with us: 1) What are the top three most pressing problems you face as an ISP? 2) What is the topology of your backbone. 3) What quantitative data can you share with us that show these problems? These additional volunteers (1 ISP+2 end-users) should balance out the mix. With the ISP data, Exchange Point Operators' data, and the data from the registration forms, we should be able to highlight the various communities top issues. If you can volunteer for this, please send me e-mail with your answers to the questions above and "State of the Internet Volunteer" in the subject line. Thanks!
