RE: Sprint peering policy

Alex, *I* can't make any claims, since that would be making a forward-looking statement, y'know... and after today's WorldCom "events", I can hardly say that trusting analysts is a good thing, but if you take the time to do some research on ALGX, you'll probably see things like: consistency in meeting Wall St. expectations, a stong management team (after all, they *did* build MFS), and a conservative balance sheet. We're talking about some experienced, reputable good ol' boys who know enough only acquire profitable businesses for pennies on the dollar, and only build from success-based capital. If you take a good, hard look at the company as a whole, you'll see a company that has yet to deviate from its original plan, regardless of economic climate, and will tell you is still on target for profitability. These are all things I've learned from my own due dilligence via research on the web, and I'm sure you'll find the same. -Dan -----Original Message----- From: alex(a)yuriev.com [mailto:alex@yuriev.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 1:08 PM To: Mitchell, Dan Cc: nanog(a)merit.edu Subject: RE: Sprint peering policy > But that's just what I've "heard". > > On a side note: Folks should keep an eye on Allegiance Internet (the folks > I work for).

On what basis do you claim that Allegiance Internet is going to be in business by end of the summer? Alex

And in the age of cooked books, stated revenue can be misleading, particularly when it looks too good to be true. I would be very wary of anyone in this business right now, particularly a CLEC. Regardless, I don't think shameless corporate plugs really belong on NANOG, but I'll allow that perhaps I am in the minority. --msa

RE: how is cold-potato done?
by Gustavus, Wayne 26 Jun '02

Ultimately there won't be any ties, since BGP will eventually have to select a best path. If necessary, the decision will come down to RID. If the metrics really are the same then theoretically it doesn't matter which path it takes. If it does matter, you will have to modify your policy to make a decision based on some other criteria that you are also influencing via policy. ___________________________________________________________ Wayne Gustavus, CCIE #7426 Operations Engineering Verizon Internet Services ___________________________________________________________ -----Original Message----- From: Ralph Doncaster [mailto:ralph@istop.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 2:08 PM To: Jared Mauch Cc: nanog(a)merit.edu Subject: Re: how is cold-potato done? > > If I peer with network X in cities A and B, and receive the same route in > > both cities with an AS-path of X, how do I know which city to use for an > > exit?

Besides aggregation, wouldn't this lead to a lot of ties? Let's say the cities are LA & Manhattan, and the route from X originates in Chicago. I would think that it would be a common occurrance for the route to have the same metric in LA & Manhattan. -Ralph

RE: Big meetings should never be held at noon!
by Gustavus, Wayne 26 Jun '02

Jane, Couldn't you just use a full BGP feed from a provider and configure your inbound route-map/policy with the necessary parameters to obtain the part of the BGP table that you want? Or if this is just to populate something in a lab with a specific set of BGP info, you could obtain a copy of the table from someplace like route-views and load up the lab router or MRT (or equiv) in the lab and massage the table data within the lab. If this is for a customer/production router, I suppose you could coordinate with the upstream provider to do something similar with their outbound route-map/policy so that you only get a partial table. ___________________________________________________________ Wayne Gustavus, CCIE #7426 Operations Engineering Verizon Internet Services ___________________________________________________________ -----Original Message----- From: Pawlukiewicz Jane [mailto:pawlukiewicz_jane@bah.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 1:54 PM To: nanog(a)merit.edu Subject: Big meetings should never be held at noon! Hi, We ran out of time. Anyway, question for the best network operators in America, and beyond. Is there a way to download _part_ of a BGP table from a router? Can I use something like logic, sql to download just a piece, a specific piece of the BGP table? I can't believe this is impossible... Thanks for any help on this, Jane

RoadRunner is also involved in supplying TWC service (Time Warner Cable). As a former RoadRunner then MediaOne then ATTBI customer, I believe RoadRunner best fits as a sort of Covad in Cable land.

Testing Bandwidth performance
by Alan Sato 26 Jun '02

What are some tools to test bandwidth perfomance? I've used iperf, but are there other tools or ways to generate traffic for testing purposes to see a links maximum capacity? Especially greater than a 100mb. Alan
