Configured to export v5 flows, cat6509 running IOS is sourcing 95% v7, and 5% v5. Anyone seen this kind of behaviour? - billn

Reuters: Europe broadband surpasses Americas
by Fergie (Paul Ferguson) 08 Jun '05

08 Jun '05

Not exactly operationally relevent, but interesting nonetheless. - ferg >From a Reuters newswire article appearing in CNN/Money: http://money.cnn.com/2005/06/08/news/international/broadband.reut/index.htm [snip] More Europeans than Americans had a broadband Internet connection in the first quarter, according to a survey published Wednesday, which also showed South Korea is on the verge of losing its global pole position. The Asia Pacific region, where most of the world's population live, remained the world's biggest broadband market with 61 million subscribers and a 39 percent share of the global broadband market, Anglo-Dutch research group TelecomPaper said. Europe was second with 47.95 million fast Internet subscribers, overtaking the Americas with 47.53 million. "Europe has outrun the Americas for the first time in history and became the second largest broadband market in the world," TelecomPaper said in a note. [snip] -- "Fergie", a.k.a.

My original post to the list contained nothing about any services I expect with provider xxx. I asked if anybody else saw packet loss or congestion. My follow-up posts contained the reason as to why I was posting this to the list instead of to my provider, I then took it off-list with 2 other posters and managed to get more info out of them then out of GBLX. I try not to bash anybody because I know that doesn't really resolve anything most of the time. >I'd like to see the higher level stuff we used to do and have some >sort of information along with it vs. "i see a packet drop in XYZ". >A prefix or something. That usually makes people go look. I agree, it totally slipped my mind to provide that info. I just typed up a quick post and sent it out. Im my humble opinion I think this is Nanog content and that is why I posted it. Most posters opinion of what is and what isn't appropriate content varies. I love my delete key, if I don't think it's appropriate I delete it. No harm done to me. To each his own I guess. Thanks to those that responded.

Easy enough. I think that these things are operational and belong here. Its' the level that ras is talking about and the content. Saying MCI has a massive fiber cut impacting 230 Congress IX vs. GBLX is not doing what I demand are very different types of outage posts. I'd like to see the higher level stuff we used to do and have some sort of information along with it vs. "i see a packet drop in XYZ". A prefix or something. That usually makes people go look. -M<
