Routing Registries...
by Ben Kirkpatrick, ELI 09 Feb '98

09 Feb '98

What are most large NSP's doing in the way of routing registries? Is most everyone using the RADB or a local database? I'm working on some guide-lines here. To me, using the RADB seems the best idea, but others have mentioned a requirement that it be kept in-house and just exported on a regular basis. Any thoughts? I'll summarize private responses, --Ben Kirkpatrick, ELI DPG

I'm currently at the conference. The audio feed is up. The video feed is not up yet due to some cable problems. It should be up by noon. They just announced that the videos will be converted and made available for viewing on the Net. At 11:36 AM 2/9/98 -0600, James D.

If you've had problems connecting to the live audio feed try again now; we're hoping to get the video feed up at approximately noon Mountain Time.

The real feeds don't appear to be up, as of yet... is this a known bug ?

Real audio broadcast
by Susan R. Harris 09 Feb '98

09 Feb '98

Greetings - here are details about today's and tomorrow's RealAudio broadcasts of the main NANOG presentations. (We may also be carrying video - keep an eye on the Web page below for details.) - The broadcasts begin at 9am Mountain time. - The Real Broacast Network will archive both days and make the streams available for later playback. - MBone-connected users will automatically utilize IP-multicast -- everyone without MBone connectivity will utilize an appropriate unicast mode. - To jump to the live streams, users should first hit the NANOG agenda page at http://www.nanog.org/mtg-9802/update.html . Many thanks to Jeff Payne and Pat Combes from Real Broadcast for helping us set this up.

Frankly, the backbones could care less these days. Heavily decorated micropackets are becoming less and less toxic; at least one implementation is known to smile and ask for more at OC12 rates, another has hardware that can probably do this too. Magic flow-based switching schemes that open VCs and so forth might be happier, but I don't know of any actually deployed in a "backbone" per se. Tli was just pointing out n messages ago that no matter how well you do in terms of aggregating data traffic into bigger chunks, you still will see an enormous number of small packets around (ACKs). You have to be prepared to switch those at line rate; engineering for some statistical mix of big and small packets is asking for a disaster when someone suddenly goes simplex. There is, however, the spectre of there being so many SYNs flying around that they alone might cause congestion collapse. I dunno if I should be frightened of that or not, but I am not one of your origin server friends. --:) Finally, could your explain the "benchmark" comment a bit? Sean.

Canadians in Albuqueuque
by Phillip Vandry 09 Feb '98

09 Feb '98

We have notice quite a few Canadians on the attendee list, and we thought a BOF of Canadian issues might be a good idea. But Monday night seems to be booked pretty solid, with 4 BOFs already and a tutorial, so we haven't quite decided what to do yet. Anyway, stay tuned, we'll surely have more to say tomorrow. -Phil

cacheable HTTP?
by sully＠mail.usinternet.com 09 Feb '98

09 Feb '98

I've considered the pro's and con's of caching HTTP, and was wondering what, if any, software or hardware solutions you've implemented..and the success or failure you've experienced. Any response is much appreciated!
