Concerning the recent NANOG discussion group... Are those RealAudio and RealVideo feeds saved and moved to somewhere else on nanog.org ?

There's something to be said when a company specializing in streaming media can't even prove to NANOG that it works. File not found, et al. Alex Sprintlink Network Operations (ebo ebpxryy qvq vg. v'z frevbhf!)

Or, perhaps more precisely, whose business is it anyway? These mail lists are hardly the appropriate place to discuss the personnel matters of any organization. Likewise, it is rarely appropriate for an organization to talk about personnel matters involving current or past employees in a public forum. -tjs > On Mon, 9 Feb 1998, Kim Hubbard wrote: > >> Adam Rothschild sez: > >>> > >>>>>ARIN, the world leader in IP registration, is looking for a qualified > >>>>>candidate to fill the now-open Postmaster position.. > >>>> > >>>>The person they hired quit within two weeks. > >>> > >>>Out of curiosity, WHY? > >> > >>One could infer he found the working conditions less > >>than desirable. > > > >Well, you're welcome to infer anything you like but you may want to > >at a minimum, get your facts straight.

Yes Scott it is beautiful but there is also a 10 minute propagation delay, so if you want to ask questions (aha! it's a one-way medium!) it does not compete with MBONE, alas. :( A nice idea would be to have MBONE stuff for the live sessions and then rebroadcasts and archives done via Real Video.

Hey, why bother with that congestion control stuff? It just makes the users complain about slowness.... Just spew the packets as fast as you can, like RealXXX, and screw everybody else. The sooner Fair Queuing is installed (it has been in many smaller vendors' products for 5-6 years, why has Cisco taken so long?), with RED (again, this is several years old), the sooner the blackguards can be bumped out the way of well-behaved applications. This is supposedly an operations list. So, everyone, when are you configuring it in _YOUR_ Cisco? WSimpson(a)UMich.edu Key fingerprint = 17 40 5E 67 15 6F 31 26 DD 0D B9 9B 6A 15 2C 32

I want to see my friends live, even if it is blocky. You know, who's growing a beard, who's now donning a suit instead of jeans, etc. Why set up RealAudio when the target audience uses Mbone more effectively and more routinely? <ASIDE> Death of Mbone predicted. </ASIDE> Gripe, gripe, gripe, gripe, Eric Ziegast PS: I don't read NANOG.

One very interesting observation is that the time lag (as best as can be timed using phone/email/irc) is essentially the same whether one is using TCP or UDP as the Preferences-selected transport. Failure modes are different: TCP causes a halt and resume effect, UDP causes "noisy choppy" degradation. A packet trace at the transmitter end would be neat (hint Scott hint), to compare whether the UDP transport is "gentle" compared to the TCP transport. Sean.

Other than the video being dim (could be fixed by better lighting of the overheads), the video and sound quality are excellent for me. I'm much more impressed by the quality of the presentation and the software than standard mbone tools. -scott > From owner-nanog(a)merit.edu Tue Feb 10 11:04 EST 1998 > From: "Sean M.
