AS migration presentations/links
by theo 29 Nov '00

29 Nov '00

Hi all, I am looking for a presentation or links that present "standard" solutions to problems that result from AS migration (commonly two or more different networks with different IGPs and different AS numbers that have to merge into one big network). The closest presentation I found so far is from nanog19, "crafting confederations" by Dan Golding. Are there any other similar documents publicly available? -- theo

I'm not sure. I just remember the nuclear engr people talking about how radioactive coal plants were since there was no radiation standard for them and that some of the coal slag was more enriched then fuel rods. One of my student college jobs was at the RPI linear accelerator lab doine software work for the nuclear engineering dept. One of the projects was part of a contract on energy needs analysis for the New York State Power Agency (I think that was their name) Forwarded message: > Same type of uranium, though? > > -- > Christian Kuhtz <ck(a)arch.bellsouth.net> -wk, <ck(a)gnu.org> -hm > Sr. Architect, Engineering & Architecture, BellSouth.net, Atlanta, GA, U.S. > "I speak for myself only." > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: owner-nanog(a)merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu]On Behalf Of > > multics(a)ruserved.com > > Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2000 11:12 AM > > To: nanog(a)merit.edu > > Cc: multics(a)ruserved.com > > Subject: Will the lights stay on - Predictions about the US electrical > > grid (fwd) > > > > > > > > In other words, consumers are starting to pay the price for blocking > > construction of power generation plants.

In other words, consumers are starting to pay the price for blocking construction of power generation plants. Increasing demand with no increase in generating capacity means shortages. For those opposed to nuclear, you should note that many coal plants produce more radioactive waste then nuclear plants. Some coal slag from coal power plants has more uranium in it then nuclear power plant fuel rods;) Forwarded message: > A selection of postive and negative outlooks for the reliability of the > north american electric power grid.

Re: SWIP and RWHOIS
by Barrie Jones 28 Nov '00

Although SWIP is relatively easy to use, you have more control and (theoretically) privacy with rwhois. It's also not that hard to use, being a flat file format; once you make the initial investment to learn it, you're pretty much set and can write all kinds of scripts to update it as Todd mentioned. --------------------------------------- Barrie E.

SWIP and RWHOIS
by Jeff Neuffer 28 Nov '00

Pros... Cons... Opinions? We are planning to receive, from ARIN, 32 class C networks. Would it be easier to manage our IP address space via email (SWIP) or setup a RWHOIS server?

Will the lights stay on - Predictions about the US electrical grid
by Sean Donelan 28 Nov '00

28 Nov '00

A selection of postive and negative outlooks for the reliability of the north american electric power grid. George Bush, Jr. has cited the growth of the Internet as one cause for power shortages. "Electric system resources will be adequate to meet projected electricity demand in North America this winter. Of course, extreme weather conditions and unexpected equipment problems may produce demands that exceed generation and transmission margins" source: ftp://www.nerc.com/pub/sys/all_updl/docs/pubs/winter2000.pdf "Californians are getting a two-fold warning at the first sign of cold weather: The state says there may be blackouts and a major utility is warning of sharply higher bills." source: http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20001115/us/california_power_woes_2.html "Barring excessive heat, California should have enough electricity supply to meet its demand next summer, according to new -- and disputed -- projections from the California Energy Commission." source: http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/sddt/20001121/lo/optimistic_electricity_foreca… "Responding to concerns about deterioration of the U.S. electric power grid, Congress within the next five years will enact legislation mandating minimum standards for reducing downtime and improving system reliability, a panel of utility industry analysts and journalists predicted here this week." source: http://www.ces.com/experts_predict.html

Just checking to see if people were awake! I think I received more mail about this error, than any other error I've made so far in my life. So much for my 99.999% typing accuracy. Yes, you are correct, the tld should be .net.
