BGP bandwidth usage
by venkas＠ntd.comsat.com 08 Jun '98

Hi I'd like to estimate the amout of BGP route traffic in our proposed network. Are there any case studies of bandwidth usage of the BGP protocol out there? Specifically, the network we are planning will include 20-100 routers talking BGP to a routeserver that is connected to an ISP. I'd appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks, Senthil.

I must not be on enough or the right lists...but what's the deal with worldnic.com? I'd not heard anything about it until today. I tried to move a domain (a .org domain) for a customer today, and got the following reply from domreg(a)internic.net: Thank you for contacting Network Solutions, Inc., InterNIC Registration Services. The domain name you are attempting to update was registered through WorldNIC Services and should be updated via the following URL: http://www.worldnic.com This looks like Network Solutions taking advantage of its position as controller of the big three commercially used TLDs to find new ways to dip their fingers into another part of the pie...perhaps in anticipation of losing their monopoly on domain registrations. What does my ISP need to do to get setup with Network Solutions such that anytime someone wants to modify a domain registered through us, the request is bounced litterally saying "you can't do that, go talk to FDT about it."? ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jon Lewis <jlewis(a)fdt.net> | Spammers will be winnuked or Network Administrator | drawn and quartered...whichever Florida Digital Turnpike | is more convenient. ______http://inorganic5.fdt.net/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key____

well, at least it's worldnic.com and not thedotorgpeople.com. for .com registrations, network solutions is pushing folks to thedotcompeople.com, at $119 for two years registration. i'm sad to see that all of the paranoia about network solutions abusing their monopoly status were true, and i'm hoping very much that becky burr's presentation tomorrow absolutely guts the network solutions monopoly. -- Paul Vixie La Honda, CA "Many NANOG members have been around <paul(a)vix.com> longer than most." --Jim Fleming pacbell!vixie!paul (An H.323 GateKeeper for the IPv8 Network)
