Transparent SNMP cache?
by Marc Binderberger 21 May '03

21 May '03

Hello, looking at the growing number of SNMP polling systems and the "gap" between network- and server-engineering we start worrying about the load SNMP may cause on our Cisco CPUs. A few routers/switches died in the past because of SMARTS or HP-OV running wild. Instead of having many systems polling the same data I would like to see a SNMP cache which works similar to transparent proxies - picks up the request on the fly and answers on behalf of the router unless the cached data is aged out (e.g. 3-5 minutes). Does something similar exists? Feedback from our server folks is "doesn't exist, never seen this" but I can't believe we are the only one having this idea and looking for a solution. Or is my idea totally flawed? ;-) Thanks & Regards, Marc -- Marc Binderberger <marc(a)sniff.de> Powered by *BSD ;-)

ntp, gps & august 2003

we got a notify from our supplier of gps ntp servers that urgent software upgrade is needed or the boxes might lose gps signal track on august 10, 2003 no more details, however i haven't heard any advises of gps system changes so my question is if this is a scam just pushing the people to upgrade the software (although free of charge) or this really might have an operational background thanks -- Tomas Daniska systems engineer Tronet Computer Networks Plynarenska 5, 829 75 Bratislava, Slovakia tel: +421 2 58224111, fax: +421 2 58224199 A transistor protected by a fast-acting fuse will protect the fuse by blowing first.

American Idol network congestion expected Tuesday May 20 2003
by Sean Donelan 20 May '03

20 May '03

Do you have your GETS card handy? Also Bill Woodcock's INOC-DBA IP Phone network is separate from the telephone network, and would not be affected by the same congestion. "We built our network to be strong enough to survive a hurricane, flood or other natural disaster, but it is also flexible enough to adapt to enable our technicians to handle a surge in calls due to a radio call-in contest, rock concert ticket sale or American Idol voting," said Wiskocil. While the company's network is designed to handle heavy call volumes, the initial surge when millions of SBC customers pick up their telephones simultaneously as the voting lines open this Tuesday, May 20th could cause some callers to experience a "fast busy" signal, as the network provides far more than the usual number of customers with a dial tone to place their calls. Wiskocil explains: "If callers hear a fast busy signal on Tuesday night, we encourage them to hang up and try their call again in a little while. Our network experts have advised that if callers can wait approximately 30 minutes after the show ends, they will most likely get through on the first try." http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=SVBIZINK6.story&STORY=/ww… http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=8063525&BRD=1281&PAG=461&dept_id=…

Re: European equivalent of Equinix?

Interxion has a partnership with Equinix: http://www.interxion.com/cms3000/modules/content_pages/page_preview .asp?Page_id=38&NodeID=A_128&navID=2 Both companies were established in a similar timeframe (1998), raised similar amounts of money and have similar services/products. fyi: Interxion has the largest carrier neutral datacentre footprint in Europe & is one of the few datacentre companies with really good power engineering standards; note that I am slightly biased in this matter.

Wasted netspace (recovering)
by listuser＠numbnuts.net 19 May '03

19 May '03

Howdy. This afternoon I was working with a used switch I recently purchased when I noticed it still had the previous owner's IP in it. I noted that it wasn't a reserved address that I recognized so I looked it up. As it turned out the IP belonged to Occidental Petroleum Corp (oxy.com) and was part of a /16 (155.224.0.0/16). The fact that it they had a /16 was a bit surprising. Seeing how it was allocated back in 1992, I guess I really shouldn't be that surprised. I figured they must have enough remote offices to reasonably use a large portion of that /16. While loading their website I noted that www.oxy.com fell into another netblock (208.35.252.113/24). I was curious enough (read: bored) that I eventually queried Arin's WHOIS for Occidental Petroleum and was quite surprised at what I saw. http://ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl?queryinput=occidental%20petroleum OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM (OCCIDE-1) Occidental Petroleum Corp.

Does this seem a little excessive to anyone else? I can think of a dozen state-run universities off of the top of my head that could never dream of justifying a /16, let alone more. I hate to pummel a dead horse but would it be worthwhile to ask these corporations to relinguish netblocks that they don't use or can't justify keeping? "Because I'm paying you" isn't a good enough reason IMHO. Would it be worthwhile to have organizations with direct allocations submit a netblock usage summary every 4-5 years to justify keeping their existing blocks? I know it might be hard for ARIN to justify taking back someone's netblocks. It just irks me to no ends to see a considerable amount of wasted netspace such as this. Pardon me for asking because I imagine this has been discussed many times before. Justin Shore
