PRISP (ISP Provisiong) Project (was - Ipal project)
by william(at)elan.net 15 Mar '04

15 Mar '04

Due to previous ipal name collision discovered last week the project has been renamed PRISP, big thanks to GertJan Hagenaars for this name. Again if people would like to participate, this project will develop opensource software (or framework and database schema for such software) to help ISPs in tracking setup of new network services and connections. This would include allocation of ip addresses and database of such allocations, database of circuits and network devices, administration and colloboration on actual provisioning process for new connections (both for physical circuits and logical connections such as for colo customer), etc. At some distant future project homepage will be located at www.prisp.org currently there is a sourceforge project info at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/prisp/ If you're interested in helping, please join the mail list: http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/prisp-discuss Or send email to prisp-discuss-subscribe(a)lists.sourceforge.net with usual "subscribe" in subject and body For reference for those who may join mail list after this message, below is the first email that is starting real project discussions (there have been some smaller discussions last week on different mail lists but we're starting it all again to keep track of this in archives): -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2004 13:40:26 -080D (PST) From: "william(at)elan.net" <wi0liam(a)elan.net> To: prisp-discuss(a)lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Open discussion - service provisioning components We'll open the discussion with what people would like to see in the service provisioning database software. Try to think of what network engineers are doing when setting up new customer and which settings might be general enough to be part of some database as well as which of those settings can be automated in some way. Might also be good if in your reply, you order these settings by how they come up in the actual provisioning process. -- William Leibzon Elan Networks william(a)elan.net

Curiosity
by Laurence F. Sheldon, Jr. 15 Mar '04

15 Mar '04

People keep asking me "why don't you take that off list?" I have a suggestion: say instead "STFU"--it is easier to type. And that is the net effect, because every attempt to take an item off-list results in something like the following. I can not really figure out what the problem is. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Mail System Error - Returned Mail Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2004 15:26:16 -0500 From: Mail Administrator <Postmaster(a)cox.net> Reply-To: Mail Administrator <Postmaster(a)cox.net> To: LarrySheldon(a)cox.net This Message was undeliverable due to the following reason: Your message was not delivered because the return address was refused.

Cisco 6513 Bug (was Re: hey had eric sent you
by joej＠Rocknyou.com 15 Mar '04

15 Mar '04

Scott, Yep, we had to send in the line cards to get them upgraded, didn't have any information on upgrading the s/w on the Line cards and TAC wanted me to RMA them back. So. Boy this one was a real pain because it only seemed protocol specific at the time. Here's the referenced Bug for those interested. CSCeb67650 Bug Details Headline WS-X6548-GE-TX & WS-X6148-GE-TX may drop frames on egress Product cat6000 Model x6548 Component hw-1000tx Duplicate of Severity 2 Severity help Status Resolved Status help First Found-in Version 8.1 All affected versions First Fixed-in Version 8.1(1.8), 8.1(1.9), 8.2(0.18)DEL, 7.6(2.3), 12.1(19.4)E, 12.2(17a)SX Version help Release Notes Packets destined out the WS-X6548-GE-TX or the WS-X6148-GE-TX that are less than 64 bytes will be dropped. This can occur when a device forwards a packet that is 60 bytes and the 4 byte dot1q tag is to added to create a valid 64 byte packet. When the tag is removed the packet is 60 bytes. If the destination is out a port on the WS-X6548-GE-TX or the WS-X6148-GE-TX it will be dropped by the linecard. Additionally, if packets are received on an interface that does not have a minimum MTU of 64 bytes (e.g. ATM,POS) and are destined out the WS-X6548-GE-TX or the WS-X6148-GE-TX it will be dropped by the linecard. No current workaround other than moving the recieving device to a different model linecard.

What version of code are you running on the 6513 8.1(2) fixes the bug on the 6x48 line cards. What happens is that packets of 64 bytes or less are silently dropped. Replacing linecards will not help unless there is another bug of which I am not aware. With a little digging I can dredge up the relevant DDTS. Scott C. McGrath On Sat, 13 Mar 2004, joe wrote:

iMPLS benefit
by sonet twister 15 Mar '04

15 Mar '04

Hello, i heard there is a way to run MPLS for layer3 VPN(2547) service without needing to run label switching in the core(LDP/TDP/RSVP) but straight IP (aka iMPLS). Anyone running this in a live network yet? Thanks in advance for any information. Suki Lim Blacksburg, VA ee.VA.TECH --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
