NSF (the organization, the building, and not the networking division) in its infinite wisdom decided to change ISPs from SURANET (bbn Planet) to PSInet. The Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate, to which our networking division belongs, has its own "high-speed LAN" (HSL). NSF, the building, has still not changed over its connection to PSInet, but our HSL has. The building is apparently not going to switch over until it gets its firewall on-line. So, to get to color printers and other organizational resources, our packets go through PSInet via MAE-E and back via SURA/bbn (MCI circuits) to the main LANs. Yesterday was a very busy day, shipping scads of graphics files to the color printers getting ready for big presentation schedule. Did it hurt? --SG ____________________________________________ Steve Goldstein, National Science Foundation +1(703)306-1949 Ext. 1119 "Let's not procrastinate until next week!"

MCI/MAE-East/PSI losses unacceptable

What is going on out at MAE-East? From Michigan, I'm seeing a tremendous loss there, all day (since 10 am) between mae-east-plusplus.Washington.mci.net. and mae-east.psi.net.

*** Resending note of 03/18/96 12:43 Folks, May I inject some list-relevant discussion to this cat-fight? >> Fortunately, MCI was able to reconfigure our access lists at their >>router to allow us to broadcast competing more specific routes for each >>individual class C in the CIDR block. Thus (more or less) restoring IGC's >>net connectivity. >More specifics aren't competing. They take precedence. Sometimes it's >better to be silent and thought dumb... I don't care to choose sides in this dispute. But as a consequence of this dispute, the size of the standard default-free route tables has grown as a result of the IGC/MCI de-aggregation of routes. This is a bad thing, right? Looking at IBM/Advantis's router at MAE-East, for example, I see 205.198/16 from (AS3830), 205.198.244/22 from (AS3561 AS5799), and 205.198.244/24 from (AS3561 AS5799). AS3830 == Net99, AS3561 == MCI, and AS5799 == IGC. Seems like the rest of the Internet is the long-term victim here... -- Richard Woundy, (not speaking for) IBM

As I seem to recall, the @Home proposal (at least what I saw of it after the fact) was for a potential 50 Million addresses. This definitely puts it out of the range of a registry decision and moved it to IANA. Those of us that were in the middle of the IPng address size debate had predicted a request like this and have not supprise of the outcome. BTW, there are 'rumours' floating around that China wants a couple of A's or so... Robert Moskowitz Chrysler Corporation (810) 758-8212
