Honestly, the sooner that I2 folks realize that they are neither the center of the Internet, nor even a particularly large customer of just one commercial carrier, the better off they will be when they have to deal with the real world. :) Interestingly, this is the only thing I could find on the subject: http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/5083804/detail.html I haven't found anyone other than Qwest and GX (who share a common build here) affected so far, but there hasn't really been much discussion on the subject. While this is certainly a decemt amount of impact, I don't think anyone with a decently built network is suffering unduely (this is why there are southern paths :P). Last report I heard on the subject a couple of hours ago was that Qwest had not begun splicing but is standing by to do so as soon as the scene is cleared. -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras(a)e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC)

SNMP "Accounting" Software
by Drew Weaver 11 Oct '05

11 Oct '05

We need some fairly complex SNMP accounting software (data center) style stuff that can monitor cisco equipment for bandwidth utilization and generate reports based on 95th percentile and also perhaps even their actual bandwidth usage (how many gigs of transfer they use per month, day, week.. etc) Does anyone know of anything good that does anything like this? It needs to be reliable? Can be open source, we're using MRTG to track utilization but we need something that really handles "accounting" for us. Thanks, -Drew

I would recommend using Cacti for interface speed monitoring.

Requesting P.I. Space from ARIN - latest issues?
by up＠3.am 11 Oct '05

11 Oct '05

After taking IP space from upstreams for years, I am on the verge of requesting PI space from ARIN, but after reviewing their guidelines, I have a couple of questions: 1) I meet the Multihoming requirement, which means I can get a block as small as a /22, which is about right for my needs. Are there still any concerns about networks (as Verio and Sprint have done in the past) filtering out longer prefixes, and if so, does it depend on whether it;s former class A, B, C or swamp space? I know when I got my current block from my upstream, I had to make sure I got swamp space, because the former class B block they initially allocated to me wouldn't have made it past Verio's filters at that time. 2) I currently have a /21 from an upstream, for which I met the requirements for when I got it, but since outsourcing the dialup, I am probably well below ARIN's guidelines for "efficient utilization" at this time. Would this cause a problem in my application, even though I am applying for a smaller block? Thanks in advance, James Smallacombe PlantageNet, Inc.

Customers don't want to pay for a "stochastic set of relationships", they will pay for the "Internet" however. It's like paying for a telephone that could only call a subset of the world's telephone users. And the solution (assuming you wanted global reachability) was to buy multiple telephone services from different providers, but even then the reachability that those providers offered would change over time. Would you be happy to rely on telephone for critical business (or other) functions? Call me crazy if you'd like, but I tend to think that peering on the Internet is too important... -Benson --- Benson Schliesser (email) mailto:bensons@savvis.net I barely understand my own thoughts, much worse those of my betters.
