Re: IPv4 Hash Function

In my experience, Fibonacci hashing is faster and gives a better spreading. --vadim Richard Steenbergen <ras(a)above.net> wrote: I have seen the IPv4 hash function: (ip ^ (ip >> 23) ^ (ip >> 17)) & ~(bucketsize - 1) for power-of-2 sized hash tables attributed to Van Jacobson, in many places, but I have never found any paper or writing that is the actual source of this.

No Op. - Arbitration clauses in peering agreements
by Lauren F. Nowlin 10 Nov '99

10 Nov '99

Hi all, Apologies to Randy for the non-operational content here... I'm trying to modify our peering agreement to reflect more international standards and am having issue with arbitration procedures. From the 20-30 documents I've poured through in the past 24 hours: - most large US carrier peering agreements opt for senior management intervention prior to termination of the peering agreement - no arbitration - most mid-size US carrier peering agreements have very bland, offered in the state the governing law applies to, language for arbitration; - a few international carriers have UN arbitration (see wording below) that might make more sense for a global network; - very few international carriers have peering agreements in any form and default to the standard US format. A few international carriers have the following arbitration clause: "All disputes, controversies, claims or differences which may arise between the Parties, out of or in relation to or in connection with this Agreement, or the breach thereof, and cannot be solved to the mutual satisfaction of the Parties, shall be finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law ("UNCITRAL") Arbitration Rules as at present in effect with the following conditions. The award rendered by arbitrators shall be final and binding upon both Parties. a) The number of arbitrators shall be three (3), the first to be nominated by <peer who is the primary on the peering document>, the second by UNA, and the third to be nominated by two (2) aforementioned arbitrators. b) The place of arbitration shall be New York, NY. c) The language to be used in the arbitration proceedings shall be English." I am mostly okay with the format but would like to see the second arbitrator elected by the peer receiving the document and the third arbitrator selected by the UN Arbitration group. Replies are needed to put forth a reasonable document prior to wasting tons of legal time... Credit to the domain name of the reply authors is not what I'm looking for... I'm looking for reasonable expectance that an arbitration method like the outline above would not be out of hand rejected by most legal teams. If you have arbitration language in your document that has been accepted (signed by more than 5 peers) widely please do forward it to me. To prevent outrage, please do not reply to the NANOG list. Thanks in advance for your attention to this matter, -Ren Lauren F.

Re: Concurrent bridging & routing on a channelized interface.
by Dean Anderson 10 Nov '99

10 Nov '99

Well, I _think_ channelized T3 looks just like a bunch of T1's to the cisco, and protocol can be set individually--as though there were a mux. That may be wrong. You'll have to figure that out. But, assuming its not: Set them up using frame relay encapsulation, turn on frame relay switching, and enable bridging. Frame relay doesn't do broadcasts, but I seem to recall there is a way to approximate it. I'm not sure that bridging works over frame relay, so you'll have to check that too. Note that you are completely in control of the frame relay network. One router will be DTE, and one will be DCE. You are the frame switch. Good luck. --Dean Around 02:37 PM 11/10/1999 -0500, rumor has it that jeanlou.dupont(a)na.marconicomms.com said: > > > > >Is it possible to concurrently do bridging & IP routing on a DS3 channelized >interface on a cisco router? > >Suppose I have a bunch of customers with T1 coming in through a DS3 channelized >interface and they want to be part of a layer 2 VLAN >& >concurrently have other customers with T1 coming in with IP feeds to the >Internet. > >Any help is appreciated. > >jld. :)) > > > > > ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Plain Aviation, Inc dean(a)av8.com LAN/WAN/UNIX/NT/TCPIP http://www.av8.com ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Concurrent bridging & routing on a channelized interface.
by jeanlou.dupont＠na.marconicomms.com 10 Nov '99

10 Nov '99

Is it possible to concurrently do bridging & IP routing on a DS3 channelized interface on a cisco router? Suppose I have a bunch of customers with T1 coming in through a DS3 channelized interface and they want to be part of a layer 2 VLAN & concurrently have other customers with T1 coming in with IP feeds to the Internet. Any help is appreciated. jld. :))

Route Filtering by Network Size
by Marsh, Jerry 10 Nov '99

10 Nov '99

I've changed jobs and been off the NANOG list for some time, so please excuse the question. I know some providers (such as SPRINT) filter BGP routing announcements based on minimum announcement size. The questions are: 1) Who all has such policies? 2) What are the specific sizes and address blocks being filtered? 3) Do they affect "portable" (provider independent) and "non-portable (provider supplied) addressing in the same way. Thanks.

RE: ARIN's New E-commerce System

As long as we are talking about ASN registrations, I have a question. How many ISP's currently use a Routing Registry to configure their routers to accept network annoucements from only the AS's in the registry? Thanks, Mark - Mark C.

Merit isn't levying a per ASN fee, they are charging a per maintainer fee for their routing registry. ARIN's fees aren't changing, we're just offering additional payment options for ASNs.

BGP and Cogeco and @Home
by James Smith 09 Nov '99

Is anyone on this list involved with Cogeco in the Toronto Area, that would also be involved with BGP routing and the migration of Cogeco to @Home? We receive feed from Cogeco and I'm trying to get some information about when certain BGP services might be available. Please contact me off the list. -- James Smith, CCNA Network/System Administrator DXSTORM.COM http://www.dxstorm.com/ DXSTORM Inc. 2140 Winston Park Drive, Suite 203 Oakville, ON, CA L6H 5V5 Tel: 905-829-3389 (email preferred) Fax: 905-829-5692 1-877-DXSTORM (1-877-397-8676)
