RE: Sample CISCO Border Router Config

This one is pretty good. http://www.attrition.org/~modify/texts/phrack/Phrack55/P55-10 -----Original Message----- From: Kenneth D. Paquette [mailto:ken@btv.ibm.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2001 8:16 AM To: nanog(a)merit.edu Subject: Sample CISCO Border Router Config I remember seeing a pointer to a CISCO Border Router Config on one of the lists in the last few months an thought I saved the URL. Now I can't find it. I have searched the archives to no avail. I am not sure if it was NANOG or one of the firewall lists, but figured I would start here first. I believe is a link into the SANS institute, but can't find it there either. Any help would be appreciated.

General timeline for addition of records into RSS ?
by Yusuf Goolamabbas 20 Feb '01

20 Feb '01

I remember around a year ago that RSS entries were added relatively quickly sometimes in the order of hours. Recently, I have submitted a few RSS entries and its been close to 3 days and I have received no response either in the form of an automated ticket or a response in the positive or the negative. An automated ticket would help in people not sending repeated submissions. Right now, you don't know if the mail was somehow dropped in the bitbucket or not Have others seen a similar slowdown. I understand that there was a 3 day weekend holiday in the US this last week. Are the RSS admins exclusively US based. If so, would it make more sense to have a "follow the sun" model with RSS admins in different continents so that turnaround can be relatively fast. People using these lists would like to use open relays blackholed relatively quickly My apologies if this topic is not appropiate for this list. I have sent a couple of emails to rss(a)mail-abuse.org but no response so far from them Regards, Yusuf -- Yusuf Goolamabbas yusufg(a)outblaze.com

Exchange points aren't slow, though I admit that some of the ATM-based exchanges have hit their scaling limit. Exchange points based on Ethernet with rich PNI opportunities literally do not have scaling limits. The existence of the OPTIX/SAVVIS/InterNAP model isn't an an indictment of exchange points so much as it is of the routing system itself. However, bloating the global routing table with lots of discontiguous subnets isn't a workable solution. These networks need backbones and rich peering so they can negotiate deaggregation with just those peers who want the detail. Otherwise they're just value-added resellers of other networks who DO have backbones and rich private peering. (Which is what MIBH was, so I'm aware of the customer-perceived benefits in the value being added -- the difference is that MIBH was honest about it.)

Monitoring/Trending Software -- Which Package(s) do you use?
by Lee Watterworth 20 Feb '01

20 Feb '01

Hi there. I have been handed the task of finding a monitoring/trending package for our network and systems. I will be looking at the package's collection mechanism for flexibility (snmp gets, traps, rmon), and the variety/configurability of the reports it can produce. The package should be able to provide (configurable) alerts when threshholds are met/surpassed. I have been evaluating Concord's eHealth Suite, and would like to evaluate other options before I commit to a particular package. Any feedback would be great. -Lee.

AT&T ATM Outage
by David Hares 20 Feb '01

20 Feb '01

A number of our AT&T ATM DS3s in various parts of the US are down, and AT&T is telling us they're experiencing "nationwide" problems with their ATM network. Is anyone else having problems? Have any insight?

Peering contract, needed or optional?
by Wolfgang Tremmel 20 Feb '01

20 Feb '01

Hello, I just had a discussion with our legal advisor whether it is necessary or not to sign a peering contract with every (little) peering partner. I know that a lot of the big ones require these contracts and I don't have a problem with that, my opinion just is that a contract with a peer who announces one /19 is not really necessary. Another question is if there has ever been any lawsuit about peering...

RE: Minimum globally routable address space?
by Paul Schultz 20 Feb '01

20 Feb '01

If you're going to get a /20, I'd say get your own from ARIN. The biggest pain of a routing policy I've had to deal with (as far as other people's policies go) is Verio, who only accepts /20 and greater for all of the recently opened legacy class A networks (64., 65., 66 etc) As long as you don't try to slice and dice your /20's into more specific blocks to come out of other places, you'll be fine. Paul -----Original Message----- From: Dan Streufert [mailto:dans@icss.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2001 1:34 PM To: nanog(a)merit.edu Subject: Minimum globally routable address space? I am writing from a small, multi-homed ISP. We are contemplating terminating our relationship with one of our providers, and will need to replace that non-portable space. We are debating between getting a /20 from ARIN (we have justifiable usage) or a /20 from our other provider. On one hand, portability would be nice. On the other, is a /20 globally routable in practice? I seem to remember hearing that /19 was the smallest that would not be filtered by anyone. If anyone knows if there are filters for /20s out there, I would be interested to know who filters them. Thanks, Dan Streufert
