Secure Cabinets
by Andrew Dorsett 19 Aug '02

19 Aug '02

Hey everyone, I know this is slightly off topic but I'm hoping that someone from Verisign or the like will respond. I am looking for a VERY secure computer cabinet to replace an open rack I have now. I'm looking for almost vault like qualities. Is anyone willing to make recommendations on a vendor? Thanks, Andrew -- <zerocool(a)netpath.net>

That seems to be the closest to a complete db, but I noticed it doesn't necessarily have the same info as ARIN. For example ARIN's listing for 1239 has a lot more details than the RADB entry. >From the responses so far, it seems that it is necessary in some cases to query ARIN, RIPE, and APNIC to find the info you are looking for.

> The thing that I find most disturbing with this latest approach to > enforcement by the RIAA is that they have targeted backbone providers > who probably don't have any business or other relationship with the > parties that are alleged to be infringing the RIAA's rights. Just as I believe that the problem lies in the indiscriminate ignorance with which Internet and intellectual property laws are being crafted. It is unfortunate that there is such a great lack of judiciary knowledge and an over abundance of ambitious lawmakers seeking to immortalize themselves by fabricating ludicrous laws (I consider Dingell to be their unofficial poster child). Although these laws seem to threaten the vitality of network service providers, there seems to be little resistance or lobbying that is necessary to prevent them in the first place. In my opinion, the RIAA is not unlike a predator that has acquired an insatiable appetite; it needs to be placed on a very short leash. The RIAA is one of the few organizations that have etched out a policy that is overtly alienating the very consumers its members need to survive. > Sorry, I don't mean to pick on Worldcom here, the same could be said > for any of the backbone providers that have been targeted. And, > perhaps, since several backbone providers have all been targeted, > they will work together to put up a rigorous fight on behalf of us > all. I sure hope so. The RIAA is clearly attempting to take advantage of all carriers plagued by the current financial and market conditions. With the lack of adequate attention (or representation for that matter), the odds are more in their favor to establish a precedent that can then be used to terrorize everyone else. Every time I hear the RIAA, or anyone else for that matter, make a reference to the DMCA my blood curls. -Ben

Re: 95th percentile

I have a home grown program that gives 95th percentile from mrtg data files... and can display it on the mrtg page as an odometer (using fly) or text for a monthly report. Because of mrtg data reduction, it isn't exact (weighted on the most recent three days), but it does its best to compensate for that. ...Barb At 11:29 AM 8/19/02 -0700, you wrote: >Sorry for the slightly off topic question but very briefly. > >What tools are people using for 95th percentile billing.

Sorry for the slightly off topic question but very briefly. What tools are people using for 95th percentile billing. Anything unix based maybe around mysql would be great. Or do most people grow their own? Thanks Scott

The industry needs one or more clueful persons willing to act as expert witnesses in these types of court cases. Because of Dave Farber's role in the early Internet, the legal community views him as an authority on the subject. At this point I think there are a lot of people whose knowledge is more current and more thorough and these people could help the courts make better decisions if they would step up and offer their services as expert witnesses or as advisors to the legal teams arguing these cases.
