This is what we have used in the past. http://www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=BH500NET Hope that helps. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2009 09:57:35 -0500 From: Peter Pauly <ppauly(a)gmail.com> Subject: slightly OT: wall mount UPS for demarc To: nanog(a)nanog.org Message-ID: <eefbdb720902250657x6b287593g94fc97c20c17c37c(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I'm looking to buy several small wall mounted UPS's to power a telco's metro ethernet switches. (Yes, they should have provided some kind of protection, but won't). The closest suitable UPS I've found is this: http://www.tripplite.com/EN/products/model.cfm?txtSeriesID=419&EID=361&t xtModelID=3640 Can anyone suggest a better alternative? I want something sturdy, preferably metal, that can screw to a wall and be worry free for years at a time.

> Not every bit in results in just one bit out. Broadcast, multicast, > flooding for unknown MACs (or switching failures), ... They were talking about a simple scenario where a bit that enters a port will leave a port. With 24 gigabit ports, for all intents and purposes, you will only ever have 24 gigabits at the most traversing the backplane.

They are accepting them by the 250 code, but never endup on the user mailbox. This was just within the last week.

Sent: Feb 24, 2009 6:27 PM This may be old news, but I've not been in the list for quite some time. At any rate, is anyone else having issues with Yahoo blocking / deferring legitimate emails? My situation is that I host our corporate mx'ers on my network, one of the companies that we recently purchased has Yahoo hosting their domains mail. Mail traffic to them is getting temporarily deferred with the "421 4.7.0 [TS01] Messages from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx temporarily deferred due to user complaints - 4.16.55.1; see http://postmaster.yahoo.com/421-ts01.html" The admin of the facility has contacted Yahoo about this but their response was for "more information" when they were told that traffic from my mx to their domain was to being deferred. I may end up just having them migrate to my systems just to maintain company communications if we can't clear this up in a timely manner. -- Micheal Patterson

Presentations about difficult problems (and interesting solutions) that you encounter in the course of your job are encouraged. If you think you have an interesting topic but want some feedback or assistance working it into a presentation, please email the Program Committee chair (chair(a)pc.nanog.org) and a representative on the Program Committee will give you the feedback needed to work it into a presentation. Talks ===== Plenary Session --------------- A plenary session talk should be on a topic of interest to the general NANOG audience, and may be up to 30 minutes long (including time for questions and answers.) Tracks ------ Tracks are 90-minute informal agenda blocks on topics which are of interest to a portion of the NANOG community. The 90-minute block can be subdivided into any number of combinations to suit the theme. A moderator generally coordinates content within the 90-minute block of time. A typical track session includes some presentations, but usually is focused on community discussion and interaction. Frequent track topics include: - Peering - ISP Security - Tools A track session is 90 minutes. Typically two tracks or three tracks will be run concurrently. Panels ------ Panel selection will be based on the importance, originality, focus and timeliness of the topic; expertise of proposed panelists; as well as the potential for informative and controversial discussion. The panel leader should provide an abstract describing the panel theme, list of panelists, and an outline of how the panel will be organized. After acceptance, the panel leader will be given the option to invite panel authors to submit their presentations to the NANOG Program Committee for review. Until then authors should not submit their individual presentations for the panel. A panel may be up to 90 minutes long. Lightning Talks --------------- A lightning talk is a very short presentation or speech by any attendee on any topic relevant to the NANOG audience. These are limited to ten minutes; this will be strictly enforced. If you have a topic that's timely, interesting, or even a crackpot idea you want to share, we encourage you to consider presenting it. Signups for lightning talks will be accepted during the NANOG meeting. Research Forum -------------- Researchers are invited to present short (10-minute) summaries of their work for operator feedback. Topics include routing, network performance, statistical measurement and analysis, and protocol development and implementation. Studies presented may be works in progress. Researchers from academia, government, and industry are encouraged to present. Tutorials --------- Proposals are also invited for tutorial sessions from the introductory through advanced level on all related topics, including: - Disaster Recovery Planning - Troubleshooting BGP - Best Practices for Determining Traffic Matrices - Options for Blackhole and Discard Routing - BGP/MPLS Layer 3 VPNs - Peering business and engineering basics BOFs ---- BOFs (Birds of a Feather sessions) are informal sessions on topics which are of interest to a portion of the NANOG community. BOFs may be held in the hallways, break-out areas or in an unscheduled tutorial room by request submitted to nanogpc(a)nanog.org at least 30 minutes in advance of desired use with estimated duration notes. A typical BOF session may include some structure or presentations, but usually is focused on community discussion and interaction. Frequent BOF topics include: - R&D collaboration - Hot-topics in the media - Peering - ISP Security - Tools The less structured nature of BOF sessions allows for the greatest flexibility from a timing perspective. Registration Fee Waivers ========================= The meeting registration fee will be waived as follows: - General session talk: one speaker - General session panel: one moderator and all panelists - Research forum talk: one speaker - Track: one moderator - Tutorial: one instructor How to Present ============== The deadline for accepting abstracts and slides is 06 March 2009. While the majority of speaking slots may be filled by that date, a limited number of slots may be available after that date for topics that are exceptionally timely, important, or critical to the operations of the Internet. The primary speaker, moderator, or author should submit presentation information and an abstract on-line at: http://pc.nanog.org Once you have done this, you will receive instructions for submitting your draft slides. See Presentation Guidelines for complete submission guidelines. All submissions must include: - Author's name(s) - Preferred contact email address - Submission category (General Session, Panel, Tutorial, Research Forum, or BOF) - Presentation title - Abstract - Slides (attachment or URL), in PDF (preferred) or Powerpoint format (Slides are optional for BOFs.) You may instead submit the presentation information and draft slides in email to nanog-support(a)nanog.org. We look forward to reviewing your submission.

ISIS route summarization
by Jack Bates 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

In a level2 only ISIS network (not using multiple areas due to MPLS limitations), is there a better method for handling aggregate routes than creating an aggregate and redistributing it into ISIS for each router? Primarily Cisco/Juniper based. Cisco I believe has an aggregate option in ISIS (similar to OSPF) and Juniper has a separate aggregate function which can be distributed into ISIS. Neither can do summarization per say unless they cross between levels; unless I'm mistaken. Offlist input is fine. Just trying to double check my brain while setting up IPv6 on the access edges. Link state does have it's limitations. ;) -Jack
