My firewall is dropping packet "3" as it is not happy there is a push going on before it sees the completed handshake. Anybody run across this? Is the a MySQL option for a faster connection? Finally the firewall is a Cisco ASA and the "TCP Normalization" feature is dropping the packet. Specifically is the "tcp-3whs-failed" rule that is being offended.

Root Zone DNSSEC KSK Ceremony 5
by Joe Abley 28 Apr '11

28 Apr '11

KSK CEREMONY 5 The fifth KSK ceremony for the root zone will take place in Culpeper, VA, USA on Wednesday 2011-05-11. The ceremony is scheduled to begin at 1300 local time (1700 UTC) and is expected to end by 1600 local time (2000 UTC). Video from Ceremony 5 will be recorded for audit purposes. Video and associated audit materials will be published 1 to 2 weeks after the ceremony, and will be available as usual by following the "KSK Ceremony Materials" link at <https://www.iana.org/dnssec/>. ICANN will operate a separate camera whose video will not be retained for audit purposes, but which will instead be streamed live in order to provide remote observers an opportunity to watch the ceremony. The live stream will be provided on a best-effort basis. The live video stream will be available at <http://dns.icann.org/ksk/stream/>. Ceremony 5 will include processing of a Key Signing Request (KSR) generated by VeriSign, and the resulting Signed Key Response (SKR) will contain signatures for Q3 2011. CONTACT INFORMATION We'd like to hear from you. If you have feedback for us, please send it to rootsign(a)icann.org.

New IPv6 survey released on labs.ripe.net
by Marco Hogewoning 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

Hi There, We just released a new version of the IPv6 CPE survey. After lots of feedback on the previous editions, we are now doing a "proper" survey. Based on the responses we receive in this survey we will be able to compile a new edition of our matrix and provide some more statistical background on what is happening in the market. Remember we are totally depending on your feedback to continue this work. The more responses we receive, the easier it gets for us to provide regular updates on which CPE are available on the market and how good they are. So if you have an IPv6 capable router or modem in your house, or you are busy testing them. Please take the time to fill out the survey and help other people to find the device that fits their need. Please see https://labs.ripe.net/Members/marco/ipv6-cpe-survey-please-participate for further details and a link to the survey. Thanks, MarcoH

Re: riverbed steelhead
by Elijah Savage 27 Apr '11

>Anyone out there have experience with Riverbed Steelhead products? >Do they improve TCP performance over WAN links? is it worth the price? >mike ----------------------- James and Eric have done outstanding contributing here. I just wanted to add a tad bit of information leaving out the name brands. Our environment has a large number of these deployed and we have seen business and end user acceptance. From a business perspective, it could be a cost deferral tool within your toolset. Meaning if you are in an environment, which is sensitive to MRC (monthly recurring cost), implementing this technology can help you defer this cost. For example, I had a remote site that was at 95% of a full ds3 in capacity 6 hours of an 8-hour business day, after implementing this technology I was amazed at what we found. This sites utilization was reduced to 40% capacity max, not to mention the reduction we observed at the datacenter headend. We were preparing to increase capacity at this site, that was going to require swapping the WAN device as well as an increase in the MRC for this site and ongoing operational expense. Introduction of WAN optimization was significantly lower in these categories versus the upgrades. On the end user side due to the physical location/latency of this site a few applications was prone to suffer, the developers agreed to fix this would possibly require rewriting of the apps. Nothing more than the introduction of this technology was done and the support calls into the support center went from 100's per month to zero for a few of these applications. One thing that was important to me WAS MAPI encryption and the fact it was reversed engineered. Meaning if Microsoft at some point changed the way MAPI worked in a patch or upgrade you would end up with broken MAPI support and possibly a long runway to fixing it. The other company from my understanding (do not quote me on this YET) is collaborating and possibly working with Microsoft to license such support. I don't think you could go wrong with either brand/company but understanding your environments traffic patterns and its application usage would go a long way in guiding you towards the product for your environment. Good luck
