RE: Newbie network upgrade question, apologies in advance to NANOG

Also, you may want to set your border router (the one with the serials to your ISP) to route "per packet" as opposed to allowing the routes to cache. This will distribute the bandwidtch evenly across your T1's. If you don't, then a single high traffic session or destination can consume an uneven amount of bandwidth on one of your lines. You can ask your ISP to do this as well for incoming packets. -=Vandy=- -----Original Message----- From: Andy Dills [mailto:andy@xecu.net] Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2003 3:02 PM To: Mary Grace Cc: nanog(a)merit.edu Subject: Re: Newbie network upgrade question, apologies in advance to NANOG On Sun, 29 Jun 2003, Mary Grace wrote: > So, is it still true that we do not need anything more powerful than a 4500 > or 4700 to run this system?

If you're multihomed to the same provider, I wouldn't even bother with getting an ASN and running BGP at all. I assume they are providing your IP space as well...if so, let them announce the route, and let their internal routing policy decide which circuit delivers the bits to you. Then, just configure two static default routes, to the two serial ports of your upstream. In this scenario, you're current router should be fine. Buy your router used, you're wasting your money otherwise. To answer your question directly, there is essentially no benefit to taking full routes from your provider from each location.

LA: fiber between equinix/s&d?
by nanog 02 Jul '03

02 Jul '03

I hate posting to an operational list with this kind of stuff, but i'm in a bind. Does anyone have dark fiber (or gig-e capability) between LA Equinix (600 W. 7th St) and LA switch and data (1200 W. 7th St)? Unfortunately, we picked a new vendor on this one, and they hung us out to dry (dragging feet, never completed, etc, etc.) Now we need it up asap. Please reply off-list. Salescritters welcome, as long as you are reasonable (don't try and sell me a $5k gig-e transport.) thanks bill

Over three million computers 0wned?
by Sean Donelan 01 Jul '03

01 Jul '03

http://www.vnunet.com/News/1141901 Trustcorps claims it has scientific and anecdotal resaerch supporting its conclusion that over three million computers are "owned" by malicious groups. On the other hand, Information Risk Management questioned how any one person could "own" hundreds of computers at any one time. And systems are often not "owned" by a single group, but exploited by multiple groups Like most statistics, the "truth" is probably a little harder to find, and a little bit scarier. The FBI estimates a car is stolen every 27 seconds somewhere in the US. In 2000, FBI Uniform Crime Report statistics showed that 1,165,559 cars were stolen; with an estimated value of $7.8 Billion. Police apprehend less than 15% of all auto thieves. Unfortunately this computer crime doesn't fit the FBI crime reporting statistics well. Vandalism of Property? Is the cracking of computers happening more or less often than car theft?

RE: National Do Not Call Registry has opened

will not this just be a safe source of working numbers for all those covered by exceptions? <quote> Q: If I register my number on the National Do Not Call Registry, will it stop all telemarketing calls? A: No. Placing your number on the National Do Not Call Registry will stop most, but not all, telemarketing calls. Some businesses are exempt from the national registry and still can call you even if you place your number on it. Exempt businesses include: long-distance phone companies airlines banks and credit unions; and the business of insurance, to the extent that it is regulated by state law. However, many telemarketing calls are placed by professional telemarketing companies, and even if the company whose goods or services are being sold is exempt, the telemarketing company may be covered. You may still receive calls from political organizations, charities, telephone surveyors or companies with which you have an existing business relationship. The FCC has initiated a rulemaking proceeding that would extend the National Do Not Call Registry to many of the businesses that are exempt from FTC coverage. </quote> -- deejay > -----Original Message----- > From: John R Levine [mailto:johnl@iecc.com] > Sent: 27. júna 2003 7:53 > To: nanog(a)nanog.org > Subject: National Do Not Call Registry has opened > > > > The domain is donotcall.gov, IP range is 206.16.196.192/26. > > They all seem to have the same subject line. > > Subject: National Do Not Call Registry - Complete Your > Registration > > > DCC checksums (already have a count of 25 even though it's > only been open > for an hour or so and it's the middle of the night): > > ok fuz1 ac8763a8 a9e8d829 5e8a506b 1d6ac5e5 > ok fuz2 bc65f25a 2c08ccfd 5b8b6e2c 3c806c1d > > They don't quite have all the bugs out.
