What I meant to ask is whether attendance is controlled via pre-registration, etc. or whether it's ok to simply show up. I don't any sense of the scale of NANOG. I'm hoping it's pretty informal.

Two of us tomorrow

Sue (or anyone else), I just woke up to the fact that I wasn't sure about where the meeting is nor what the formalities might be. I asked someone here for assistance and got the following directions: please look them over and holler if there's an error. I'd like the manager of our system, Rich Ogata, to come along to hear my talk and perhaps a little bit of material beforehand. If some useful discussions or possible organizational progress comes out of this, he's the right one to follow through. I don't know how formal NANOG meetings, but if there's a problem with registration or whatever, I'll be happy to take care of it on the spot or later. I'll try to get there comfortably beforehand, but don't panic if you don't see me; I may have to cut it tight. I'll bring a small set of overhead transparencies, and I'll keep the talk short. Thanks, Steve ============================================================================= Location is GWU, Marvin Center, 800 21st St, corner of 21 and H, across from Tower Records. Metro directions: Foggy Bottom station (on both ORange and Blue lines, I'm told), exit facing I Street, walk straight and turn right on 21st. Parking: Garage under Marvin Center, entrance on H or metered parking around the building. -------------------- Steve Crocker Main: +1 703 620 4200 CyberCash, Inc.

Knock yourself out. Some of us prefer to not break connectivity for our customers. The sorry state of aggregation doesn't (currently) affect me one way or the other. It would just be nice to see other network operators clean up their announcements. I've always gone by the "be liberal in what you accept and conservative in what you create" school of thought. Maybe if others would, we wouldn't have such a problem w/ the route table size. -- Eric Kozowski Structured Network Systems, Inc. kozowski(a)structured.net Better, Cheaper, Faster -- pick any two.

Internic
by Hank Nussbacher 29 May '96

29 May '96

Sorry to bother the list but I am unable to get a human response from Internic (billing, invoice, hostmaster all don't respond). I hope someone can point me to an address I can complain to. Internic, when sending out their surface mail bills to our customers, translates Israel to IL. Therefore the bill gets sent to Tel Aviv, IL - which is Illinois and probably comes back to Internic where it sits in the mailroom. I only find out when Internic sends email that they are about to pull the plug on a domain name due to lack of payment. How can I go about getting a person at Internic to acknowledge the problem?

| Is it just me, or does the level of aggregation within 207/8 really suck? I don't know what you mean. I only see /18s, /17s, /16s, and a couple /14s. A particular form of suppressing the advertisement of more-specific prefixes may be broken in someone's network, though. Known problem. Sean. P.S.: Hm, some of our customers seem to be announcing lots of unaggregated prefixes. I think people know how to avoid seeing these and in so doing pressure them to aggregate at the source.
