(newbie) BGP For Dummies?
by David E. Smith 13 Dec '04

13 Dec '04

"Hi, long-time listener, first-time caller..." Can anyone recommend a good forum for BGP questions? I've got my copy of the O'Reilly book handy, but having never really worked with BGP before, I find it's not really the best novice-level work. (Or, if questions about weird inter-AS routing scenarios are on-topic here, I'd be glad to bounce my problems around on NANOG.) Thanks! David Smith MVN.net

Sheesh, regulators

http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2004/09/11/stories/2004091102660400.htm ISPs may be stopped from offering private leased line services Thomas K. Thomas New Delhi , Sept. 10 INTERNET Service Providers (ISPs) are in for a major setback with the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) proposing to restrict them from offering private leased line services. While the telecom regulator is considering to ask the state-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) to resume provision of leased line resources to ISPs, the latter may be allowed to use it only for providing Internet-based services. This will come as a big blow to Internet operators who get a significant part of their revenue from corporate leased line services like virtual private network (VPN). The fight between BSNL and ISPs over the issue has been hanging fire for the last few months. The high point came when BSNL stopped offering leased line services to ISPs on grounds that they were misusing the infrastructure to offer services that were beyond the scope of their licence. BSNL had argued that ISPs, who do not pay any entry fee or licence fee, should not be allowed to offer corporate leased line service as it was infringing on the turf of long distance operators. Companies such as Sify, HCL Infinet and Tata Internet had made representation to the regulator against the stance taken by BSNL. The telecom regulator has taken a position favouring BSNL by saying that the public sector company was justified in its demand, as ISPs were not eligible to provide services such as VPN. This service is used by large corporates to network all their branch offices spread across the country. However, a TRAI report on the issue said that BSNL was fair in demanding that ISPs can use the leased lines only for Internet purpose and not resell it, because they were not entitled to do the business of reselling bandwidth leased from other telecom service providers. The telecom regulator has also sought the views of the Department of Telecom (DoT) on the issue and would give its final directive in the next few weeks. DoT officials said that the department was looking at allowing ISPs to offer VPN services but only after paying an entry fee to level the playing field with long distance players.

Sincerely requesting help for my Doctoral Research
by Ananth 11 Dec '04

11 Dec '04

Dear Respected Participants of Nanog Greetings! I introduce myself as Ananth Chiravuri, a doctoral student at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. As part of my doctoral dissertation, I am working on how best to come to a consensus when capturing knowledge, and am studying the effectiveness of two techniques. I am writing to request help because in order for my research to contribute meaningfully, I need the participation of real world experts and not students. The tasks that I have chosen relate to networking and therefore, I am looking for experts or professionals in network management or network design. (An expert would be anyone who has had more than 12-18 months of experience). The experiment will be conducted online using virtual teams and the time required may be at most 3-4 hours asynchronously (you can participate at your convenience). I am willing to customize the report to meet the requirements of your organization and anonymity of participants and the firms will be ensured. The results of this report will indicate an effective technique of capturing knowledge using virtual teams of experts. It may help your firm to use the technique to capture knowledge and come to a consensus at a much faster time, thus saving precious resources and time. Please kindly email me at ananthc2(a)uwm.edu or at anantc99(a)yahoo.com if you are interested to participate. I am looking for a total of 50 members (10 teams of five each) for each technique (a total of 100 participants) and therefore, I sincerely request and would highly appreciate if each one of you (and your firms) could help me and give me some of your precious time. Most importantly, your participation will ensure support for academic research in a big manner. Thanking you all in advance. I apologize for any inconvenience, if caused. Happy Holidays! Regards ananth chiravuri Univ of Wisconsin Milwaukee Milwaukee, WI ananthc2@uwm.edu/anantc99@yahoo.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Read only the mail you want - Yahoo!
