Re: shopping for NOCs

Other things involved are accountability and the NOCs ability to work effectively with IP and field engineering groups. Accountability meaning when they handle an issue you requested assistance on you get a name of the person handling your issue and that if you don't feel things are being done correctly you can get things escalated. I talk to NOCs all day and those that have good resources (network monitoring soft., circuit databases, routing layouts) don't compare to those NOCs that have a divining rod and a ouija board for tools but are commited to gettings things fixed.

European Interner Evolution
by dgreenfi＠cmp.com 05 Jun '00

05 Jun '00

To all, Network Magazine, formally Data Communications Magazine, is putting together a story on the state of the European Internet. Our aim is to give corporate network managers and ISPs a snapshot for how the European Internet is evolving. To those ends, we are interested in speaking with any ISP, Collocation Provider, Content Hoster or User, with views on the direction of the European Net. Issues here may involve peering, cross border bandwidth, trans-atlantic connectivity, to name a few. Providing data (empirical or otherwise) to back up these views is critical. If you're interested please contact me at the below email address. All conversations can be held confidential if requested.

Re: Start of hurricane season 2000
by Sean Donelan 04 Jun '00

04 Jun '00

Oh well, I guess it was too good to be true. Various customers of at least three ISPs sent me mail describing various issues due to the storms and power failures on Friday. I asked the ISPs about the incidents, and they used words like transient, anomaly, and unusual event. Bell Atlantic was the only ISP/carrier to use the word outage. The others are still investigating.

Start of hurricane season 2000
by Sean Donelan 03 Jun '00

03 Jun '00

Have ISPs finally figured out how to keep things working during storms? June 1 is the start of the US hurricane season, and several waves of major storms passed through the midwest and northeast yesterday. The FAA and several electric companies had scores of problems, but I didn't hear about any ISP-affecting problems anywhere. Are we off to a good start?

The Cidr Report
by Tony Bates 02 Jun '00

02 Jun '00

This is an auto-generated mail on Fri Jun 2 12:00:00 PDT 2000 It is not checked before it leaves my workstation. However, hopefully you will find this report interesting and will take the time to look through this to see if you can improve the amount of aggregation you perform. The report is split into sections: 0) General Status List the route table history for the last week, list any possibly bogus routes seen and give some status on ASes. 1) Gains by aggregating at the origin AS level This lists the "Top 30" players who if they decided to aggregate their announced classful prefixes at the origin AS level could make a significant difference in the reduction of the current size of the Internet routing table. This calculation does not take into account the inclusion of holes when forming an aggregate so it is possible even larger reduction should be possible. 2) Weekly Delta A summary of the last weeks changes in terms of withdrawn and added routes. Please note that this is only a snapshot but does give some indication of ASes participating in CIDR. Clearly, it is generally a good thing to see a large amont of withdrawls. 3) Interesting aggregates Interesting here means not an aggregate made as a set of classful routes. Thanks to xara.net for giving me access to their routing tables once a day. Please send any comments about this report directly to me.

ALTDB.NET dead again (thanks Netsol!)
by Steve Rubin 02 Jun '00

02 Jun '00

ALTDB.NET is dead again due to Network Solutions once again managing to remove the records from the root servers! (Atleast they show up in the whois database this time). You might recall back in March, ALTDB.NET was removed from the database for "lack of payment". I ended up having to pay for the domain again, even though it was only a few months old. Needless to say, I am not using NetSol for anything new. If anyone from NetSol is listening.. HELP! -- Steve Rubin * ser(a)tch.org * http://www.tch.org/~ser/

Anyone here who is on the Vienna/London/Amsterdam exchange(s) and who is seeing what is alleged here: above.net leaking and/or flapping routes that are not their own ?
