Network topology
by Colin Alston 15 Nov '13

15 Nov '13

Hi all I'm considering trying to come up with some means to automatically detect a networks topology and draw pretty pictures. This is somewhat boring though if a network isn't well arranged with VLANs and q-tag trunk routers and so on (It will just look like a big cloud of junk connected off an assumed switch). Is there any kind of cunning trick to detect standard layer2 switches along a path without stuff like STP?

Inventory and workflow management systems
by vijay gill 26 May '13

What software solution do people use for inventory management for things like riser/conduit drawdown, fiber inventory, physical topology store, CLR/DLR, x-connect, contracts, port inventory, etc. Any experiences in integrating workflow into those packages for work orders, modeling, drawdown levels, etc. /vijay

Re: Re: What is the most standard subnet length on internet

Suresh, Yes, I guess my concern is close to the second meaning. It seems so simple. Currently annoucement of /24 seems to be okey, most upstream providers accept this. However I wonder if there is any ground rule based on any standard or official recommandation. If there is some standardized rule about prefix length to be annouced, I will make my bgp & IP allocation policy of each data center of my company, and I will be able to more fairly and squarely speak to my customer like this "You have to change your server's IP address if you want move your server to other place" chiyoung ============================================= Chi-Young Joung SAMSUNG NETWORKS Inc.

Do you mean IP allocation as in subnet allocation, swipping in apnic or through a rwhois server etc?

Hi all, I appreciate many people gave me advices, Some of persons asked me about my questions, I'm sorry for that I couldn't reply to everyone. Because of your help, I could get many opinions and standards regarding IP allocation policy. by the way, in APNIC's IP allocation sizes policy, there is a comments like below. "Below are the minimum sizes for allocations and assignments, This information is provided at the request of the ISP community to assist in filtering policy decisions " Currently, is there any provider filtering routes under LIR's minimum allocation size such as /22 ?

Network SLA
by Saqib Ilyas 15 Apr '09

15 Apr '09

Greetings I am curious to know about any tools/techniques that a service provider uses to assess an SLA before signing it. That is to say, how does an administrator know if he/she can meet what he is promising. Is it based on experience? Are there commonly used tools for this? Thanks and best regards -- Muhammad Saqib Ilyas PhD Student, Computer Science and Engineering Lahore University of Management Sciences

If you have forwarding users - * Spam filter them to reject spam rather than simply tag and forward it. * Isolate your forwarding traffic through a single IP, Let ISPs know. > Feedback loops often aren't that useful either.

You have a far smaller userbase, and a userbase you know. For us, with random nigerians and other spammers signing up / trying to sign up all the time, FBLs are invaluable as a realtime notification of spam issues. And as I said random misdirected spam reports wont trigger a block as much as your leaking forwarded spam. Or your getting a hacked cgi/php or a spammer installed direct to mx spamware. [so if you are cpanel - smtp tweak/csf firewall and mod_security for apache should be default on your install if you havent already done so] -srs

Leap second tonight
by Kevin Day 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

Just a reminder that there's a leap second tonight. Last time I watched for what happened on 01/01/2006, there was a little bit of chaos: http://markmail.org/message/cpoj3jw5onzhhjkr?q=%22kevin+day%22+leap+second+… I've been told that some of the causes of these problems are fixed on any reasonably recent ntp distribution, but just in case, you might wanna keep an eye out if you're seeing any weirdness. The worst damage I'd heard from anyone after that event was their clock being significantly off for several hours. -- Kevin

MAC address confusion
by Saku Ytti 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Whic one of these, is locally assigned unicast MAC address, when talking about output format CSCO uses? 4000.0000.0000 (Local IXPs choice) 0200.0000.0000 (My money is here) http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/oui.txt 02-07-01 (hex) RACAL-DATACOM A0-6A-00 (hex) Verilink Corporation In either case two of the lowest or highest bits of 1st octet seems to be happily used to assign addresses. What am I missing here? -- ++ytti
