by Yu Ning 19 Oct '01

Hi nanog, Does anyone know the MIB of Cisco CEF ? Especially on the statistic of CEF. I wonder if I can poll a MIB or OID to get some traffic statistic of CEF. BTW, I need the CEF MIB of GSR router, 12016/08 thanks for any input or pointer, Yu Ning ____________________________________________ (Mr.) Yu Ning, Chief Engineer ChinaNET(AS4134) Sr. Sup.& New Sev.

Hi, Thanks for your reference. But I've fully download the Cisco public MIB ftp. But couldn't find any CEF related MIB. I've already digged into inches on that URL. regards, ____________________________________________ (Mr.) Yu Ning, Chief Engineer ChinaNET(AS4134) Sr. Sup.& New Sev. R&D Internet Product Dep.

WSJ: Trade Center Attack Highlights Problem
by Sean Donelan 18 Oct '01

18 Oct '01

Tommorrow's edition (Oct 19) of the Wall Street Journal has yet another article about Verizon's 140 West Street office. "Others say the extensive damage to Verizon's hub demonstrated that it is dangerous to rely on one company. They point out that only with the help of smaller competitors did parts of New York get their dial tones back. "We have buildings that would have been waiting for Verizon to get the service up if there were not alternatives," says Agostino Cangemi, the New York City commissioner in charge of telecom franchising One interesting thing I found during my research since September 11 is the Internet held up well because of its extensive use of alternate providers. Verizon tends to be very expensive, so ISPs needing lots of "cheap" bandwidth purchased service from a variety of competitors. Much of this was not planned, nor did ISPs have a clue where their circuits ran. It just happened due to Adam Smith's invisible hand. That's not to say CLECs didn't have problems. AT&T/TCG was walloped hard, and several ISPs have essentially abandoned some TCG facilities because they won't be repaired for a long time. MFN lost a huge amount of fiber. Worldcom won't say how bad MFS/Brooks/etc was hit but Worldcom customers report their circuits were out for 3-4 weeks and may not be repaired until the end of the year.

Communities
by Iljitsch van Beijnum 18 Oct '01

18 Oct '01

Hi, I'm looking for information about the way networks use communities in BGP. It seems that many of the larger networks only use communities to supply their customers with a mechanism to adjust the local preference to indicate which connection is preferred when a customer connects over more than one link (something that can also be done with the MED). How many networks are there that use communities to indicate where (which interconnect point) a route was learned? And how many networks use this information if their upstream provides it? And how about things like congestion? Is there any need for more "well known" communities? TIA, Iljitsch van Beijnum

Big, but then I'm sure everyone knew that. http://www.att.com/network/netfacts98.html But, there isn't just one "NOC" - there are "NCCs" (network control centers) as well - some of which are closet-like, and some of which are mission-control-like. -ft
