Last I heard, LC cataloging had a backlog of about a million books. But, they get to see the pre-prints 6-12 months early from major publishers participating in CIP, so it tends to even out. Obligatory explanation, not everything published or copyrighted is accepted by LC for inclusion in their permenant catalog. DRA is not affiliated with LOC. I suppose someone should check with John, but I did a quick check of Books in Print, OCLC, RLG, and MELVYL and didn't see anything called "OSPF Complete Implementation." I don't know if it is part of a boxed set, had a title change, or is being published by a different publisher which doesn't get its stuff in the major databases as fast. Or maybe its gotten tangled up in some type of copyright issue on the source code delaying it. >> > See John Moy's excellent book(s), OSPF: Anatomy of an Internet >> > Routing Protocol, and it's companion book, OSPF Complete Implementation. >> > The former is ISBN 0-201-63472-4 and the latter has an ospfd >> > implementation "intended to be portable to a wide range of >> > environments." >> >> I've read, and enjoyed his first, but cannot find the companion book >> anywhere.

thanx for all of you who helped me. We solved the problem. For those who wish to use TWJ(Japan Teleway), the setting you MUST use is basic-5ESS, or point to point as suposed to mutlipoint. NO SPID.

MITRE and Aerospace are both "Federal Contract Research Centers" and they don't fit neatly into either .com or .mil, so they ended up in .org which very definitely was the place for not-for-profits that aren't universities, or government agencies or strictly commercial enterprises. --Kent

arbitrary SWIP rewriting by ARIN?
by David P. Maynard 10 Jun '98

10 Jun '98

This is probably borderline as an operational issue, but have other people noticed how ARIN sometimes makes arbitrary changes to SWIP requests before processing them? In particular, they seem fond of changing the network name field for no apparent reason. There have been two cases where I tried to go back and modify an entry only to have the modify request rejected because the net named "didn't exist." When I checked the records, ARIN had inserted a dash in the middle of the name. The changes were from things like "CUST-BLK1" to "CUST-BLK-1". Neither name was in use before the assignment. If they have a naming standard, I wish they would tell me and not just arbitrarily change my request. Keeping track of everything they want is hard enough without having to account for name changes by ARIN. I was also surprised to get an assignment request bounced once with a hand-written message asking if I really meant to "assign" a block instead of "allocating" it. I responded that, yes, I really meant what I had asked, and they processed it a day or two later. Are SWIP requests all reviewed manually to make sure we are being good children? -dpm -- David P.
