Re: Dijkstra Simulator

The WANDL network planning and analysis software can be used for this purpose (and much more). Alternatively, you can trivially write an all "pairs shortest path" program, using, for example, the Floyd-Warshall dynamic programming algorithm (See "Introduction to Algorithms," by Corman, Leiserson, and Rivest). The same result can be gotten by running Dijkstra's algorithm |V| times (once for each node), where |V| is the cardinality of the set of nodes in your network graph. /Dan.

WorldNIC
by Chris Cappuccio 12 Jun '98

12 Jun '98

What's this deal about InterNIC forwarding all request to WorldNIC? If I send in a (filled out) registration template to hostmaster(a)internic.net, it's completed by InterNIC... I think the real fraud is in WorldNIC and other registrars (like Netnames in the UK) selling vanity names in country TLDs. IANA encourages this. WorldNIC has an offer for $17,545 USD that will register a domain in all 72 TLDs (or 5 domains in all 72 TLDs for $87,725 USD)... ******************************************************** Chris Cappuccio voice: +1-541-317-3437 System Administrator fax: +1-541-317-3402 Empire Net, Inc. 20310 Empire Ave chris(a)empnet.com Suite A-100 Bend, OR 97701 http://www.EmpireNet.net/ ********************************************************

Well, you left off a lot of other data that go into consider the 'best'. Such as, are you a Unix guru? Do you already have the hardware to build a system? The generic response has to be to go with a small 2 port Ethernet router (e.g., Cisco 2514). Tony

I couldn't see any reason why David would object to my remailing this to the list; I presuem he was just saving bandwidth; but here's a reference that says that even _NetSol_, wearing their InterNIC hat, said that .org was for non-profits: -----Forwarded message from David Schiffrin <daves(a)adnc.com>----- This doesn't fit *my* recollection either, but here's a ref: http://rs.internic.net/glossary/#o and a qoute: org The top level domain designated for miscellaneous entities that do not fit under any of the other top level domains. Typically used for non-profit organizations. One of the worldwide top level domains. [see also: Top Level Domain] This *is* from a current page, and I have no idea when or how this definition may have changed over time, but it does seem to be currently accurate. I understand that this doesn't address the question directly, which has to do with historical inentions, but it's all I could find in five minutes of poking about.. Wait a minute.... There is value in never deleting anything :) A domain registration template dated 7/95 reads as follows: in "Section 2 - Complete Domain Name" EDU is for 4-year, degree granting institutions. GOV is for United States federal government agencies. COM is for commercial, for-profit organizations. NET is for network infrastructure machines and organizations. ORG is for not-for-profit and non-profit organizations. This is a historical reference. I can forward the entire text of a "Version Number: 1.0" domain-template if you'd like. -dave -----End of forwarded message----- I suspect that's about as authoritative as we're going to get, for now.
