Remote Console, Power Management
by Patrick Hollowell 13 Dec '00

13 Dec '00

I'm looking for a remote console and power management solution for unmanned POP's. Ideally, this would be one box that has telnet and modem capability, as well as SNMP features. Does anyone know of such a box? I have experimented with Western Telematic boxes, but have been disappointed with the interface. Thanks in advance for any help, Patrick Hollowell Senior Network Engineer CT Communications, Internet Services phollowell(a)vnet.net http://www.ctc.net

Sounds like classic @Home customer service... Oh well, time for me to order a real circuit I guess... Christ, their Level-2 people can't even get into their routers and the escalation for those guys don't even know what to look for... And forget about getting to talk to anyone above level-2... --Jim >From: Alan Clegg <alan(a)clegg.com> >To: Jim Logan <ypcat25(a)hotmail.com> >CC: nanog(a)merit.edu >Subject: Re: Clue at @Home? >Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2000 21:05:23 -0500 > >Unless the network is lying to me again, Jim Logan said: > > > Anyone have a phone number for someone with a clue at @Home? > > > > Getting tired of their level 2 support telling me my packet loss is >because > > I'm pointing to the wrong nameserver....

> because some folk buy non-transit routes, aka "paid peering." So what's wrong with buying only the routes you need then? M.

ISP operational question
by Charles Smith 12 Dec '00

12 Dec '00

Please consider the following scenario: A new company wants to become a regional ISP. This company will purchase one or two large bandwidth circuits from a NSP of their choice. Then the new regional ISP will offer private line p2p Internet service to regional businesses. Basically, this is a small operation. Now here is the question. What choices does the regional ISP have when implementing routing and IP addressing? I assume the regional ISP will not implement BGP, since there will only be one maybe two upstream connections to a single NSP - initially. Furthermore, I assume the NSP would provide the regional ISP with a supernet - say a /20 or so. Then the regional ISP would allocate subnets of the supernet to their customer - say /24s. I also assume the regional ISP would not require an AS number since they are not implementing BGP. Basically, all traffic from the regional ISP and customers is default routed to the single upstream connection. Are these assumptions valid? Is this a good configuration? I realize multiple upstreams from different providers is optimal, however not plausdable in this case. Your constructive insight to the scenario is appreciated.

I'll sell you all the routes you want. Delivering the packets is another question. But most peering agreements are exceptionally vague about specific performance.
