Canadian Outage?
by CARL.P.HIRSCH＠sargentlundy.com 09 Jan '02

Is anybody aware of any kind of outage in Canadia right now? I'm seeing large chunks of Canada as unreachable from several different networks. Unfortunately, I'm not a Bellnexxia customer, or I'd take it to the vendor. thanks, -carl traceroute to 216.183.136.2 (216.183.136.2), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets 1 gateway (216.36.101.177) 2.474 ms 1.643 ms 1.642 ms 2 sdsl-64-32-208-1.dsl.chi.megapath.net (64.32.208.1) 5.711 ms 12.251 ms 5. 784 ms 3 216.33.81.177 (216.33.81.177) 6.650 ms 6.334 ms 6.192 ms 4 dcr03-g1-0.okbr01.exodus.net (216.33.64.17) 12.241 ms 12.454 ms 12.201 ms 5 ibr02-g4-0.okbr01.exodus.net (216.34.183.67) 5.866 ms 5.947 ms 5.541 ms 6 209.1.169.106 (209.1.169.106) 12.921 ms 12.843 ms 12.849 ms 7 core1-chicago23-pos11-0.in.bellnexxia.net (206.108.103.137) 12.854 ms 13.1 24 ms 12.842 ms 8 core4-toronto12-pos6-3.in.bellnexxia.net (206.108.103.133) 20.061 ms 23.98 1 ms 190.847 ms 9 core2-toronto12-pos2-0.in.bellnexxia.net (64.230.242.206) 19.863 ms 26.220 ms 19.672 ms 10 dis2-toronto12-pos10-1-0.in.bellnexxia.net (206.108.97.82) 26.616 ms 20.10 5 ms 26.421 ms 11 206.108.111.98 (206.108.111.98) 97.461 ms 100.695 ms 100.874 ms 12 dis2-toronto12-atm1-1-0-42.in.bellnexxia.net (206.108.111.97) 91.930 ms * 87.838 ms 13 206.108.111.98 (206.108.111.98) 128.606 ms 166.102 ms 165.326 ms 14 dis2-toronto12-atm1-1-0-42.in.bellnexxia.net (206.108.111.97) 156.424 ms 1 54.577 ms 160.717 ms 15 206.108.111.98 (206.108.111.98) 227.861 ms 232.778 ms 215.834 ms 16 dis2-toronto12-atm1-1-0-42.in.bellnexxia.net (206.108.111.97) 202.247 ms 2 17.963 ms 256.100 ms 17 206.108.111.98 (206.108.111.98) 337.063 ms 351.338 ms * 18 dis2-toronto12-atm1-1-0-42.in.bellnexxia.net (206.108.111.97) 214.777 ms 2 95.202 ms * 19 206.108.111.98 (206.108.111.98) 304.315 ms 766.205 ms 409.070 ms 20 dis2-toronto12-atm1-1-0-42.in.bellnexxia.net (206.108.111.97) 296.539 ms 2 97.997 ms 292.225 ms 21 206.108.111.98 (206.108.111.98) 320.808 ms * 450.700 ms 22 dis2-toronto12-atm1-1-0-42.in.bellnexxia.net (206.108.111.97) 468.613 ms * 421.227 ms 23 206.108.111.98 (206.108.111.98) 426.012 ms 450.852 ms 481.729 ms 24 dis2-toronto12-atm1-1-0-42.in.bellnexxia.net (206.108.111.97) 429.893 ms * * 25 * *^C

That's an excellent point Stephen. Killing employee morale can have longlasting repurcussions. I had the pleasure of experiencing a good decision of this type about 3 years ago when I worked in India. The execs decided NOT to block outbound port 80, even though it was taking up 75% of the bandwidth on a 128k link. They paid for an upgrade to 256k (SFO -> Bangalore, not cheap!) and decided not to block port 80, as the damage to employee morale would be too severe. -Paul.

Does NSI's domain update web site ever work?
by John R Levine 09 Jan '02

09 Jan '02

Dunno how operational this is, but it sure is a pain in the butt. I have a .com domain that I would dearly like to remove from NSI's clutches. In a moment of poor thinking a few years ago I registered it through Worldnic, so its email address is no.valid.email(a)WORLDNIC.NET, making it impossible to transfer since there's no address for the new registrar to ask whether the transfer's OK. No problem, I still have my account number that NSI assigned me in 1999, I can log into their web site and update the email address. Except that every single fricking time I try, it says: System is temporarily unavailable. Please try back later. It's been saying this for months. It worked for about 30 seconds last month, enough to pay them $35 to keep the domain alive, but I wasn't able to get back in to change the address. In the past I'd have let it expire and reregistered it the next day, but nowadays the vultures will beat you to it. E-mail requests asking when it'll be working again are sometimes ignored, sometimes answered three days later with boilerplate telling me that I can update my info through their wonderful web site. (I think this is known in the CRM biz as "excellent" service.) So is there any hope? Do I need to get a pizza and rent a couple of movies and camp by the phone while I wait on hold or what?

Am I Dreaming??
by Alan Wood 07 Jan '02

07 Jan '02

I am curious. Is anyone using Riverstone equipment? The reason I'm asking is because last year I had an opportunity to evaluate some of it's features. LFAP was of interest for reporting and customer profiling. The RS3000 performed very well, and seemed miles ahead of Foundry, but I was never able to put it in production. (Dot Com Bomb) Quite frankly I was impressed by it's features and want to know others opinions. You may reply to me directly if you wish. Somebody shoot me.

RE: HS protocol analyzer
by LeBlanc, Jason 07 Jan '02

07 Jan '02

Niksun NetVCR is worth looking at. Foundry is doing interesting things with their nextgen ASICs using builtin SMON probes, could almost use one of their small switches as an analyzer. ;) Building this functionality into the ASIC on the switch/router is about the only way stat gathering will ever keep up with fwding rates. Sorry for the FDRY plug. ;) > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Duckett [mailto:mduckett@bellsouth.net] > Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2002 6:30 AM > To: Nanog@Merit.
