Testing LFNs
by Kaegler, Mike 06 May '09

06 May '09

I have a new T3 thats 65msec long. I'd usually be using iperf to test new links, but at 65msec, even at the maximum window size, I can only get 6-8mbit through. No combination of options I've been able to find has gotten me more than 6mbit through this link. Should I just shotgun 9 copies of it? Are there better ways to test these links? Can one verify this link with just a pair of 7200s and linux machines on either side? Or is this something one really needs "real" test hardware for? If 6mbit go through clean, is there a real chance 44 will not?

However, they operate very differently than other routers I have worked on. Also, there're definitely bugs here and there if you push them (7750/7450/7710) hard enough... ;-) There is a list here: https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/alcatel-nsp Not very many posts, though. scott

Minnesota Sends List of Blacklisted Gambling Sites to ISPs, Telcos
by Jeremy L. Gaddis 06 May '09

06 May '09

With regard to the recent discussion... "Late last month the Minnesota Department of Public Safety announced it would require ISPs and telcos to block computers located in the state from accessing gambling sites, and said non-compliant companies would be referred to the FCC. Now, the state has sent each ISP and telco the enclosed blacklist of sites and URLs." http://www.govtech.com/gt/articles/656645 -- Jeremy L. Gaddis

Minnesota to block online gambling sites?
by Ken Gilmour 05 May '09

05 May '09

Hi there, I am just wondering if anyone knows any more about the attempt by Minnesota to block online gambling companies other than what's publicly available (e.g. http://www.gambling911.com/gambling-news/minnesota-regulators-try-block-acc… Such as a list or the letter to the providers? Thank you! Ken

Re: Where to buy Internet IP addresses

Jumping in against my better judgment ... The /64 boundary was for a number of reasons, the fact that "only" autoconfig breaks when that isn't the case is irrelevant (and not entirely true, but many of the breakages are minor/not intractable). Complaining about it now doesn't help, and many other decisions have since been made that rely on /64s. So, half-assed or not - this is the protocol we have, and it works today ... So what is the operational debate? /TJ ------Original Message------ From: Ricky Beam To: Jack Bates Cc: nanog list Subject: Re: Where to buy Internet IP addresses Sent: May 5, 2009 16:53 On Tue, 05 May 2009 16:13:05 -0400, Jack Bates <jbates(a)brightok.net> wrote: > Actually, they probably would have stuck to a 64 bit address space and > it was debated.

Ah, but they half-assed the solution. IPv6 makes no distinction between network and host (eg. "classless"), yet SLAAC forces this oddball, classful boundry. Routing doesn't care. Even the hosts don't care. Only the tiny craplet of autoconfig demands the network and host each be 64bits. That's brilliant! Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

So I found an article about updating the EVDO modem PRL in Linux (or I should say via a standard AT method) http://kenkinder.com/using-verizon-wireless-evdo-pc5740-and-linux/ I'll let folks know how it goes.

Alcatel as Peering and MSE(PE)
by Mauritz Lewies 05 May '09

05 May '09

Hi I'm based in Africa and involved in SP/Telco consulting and deployments. We have a customer that has chosen Alcatel (political choice) as their Layer-3 core devices for P, MSE, BGP Route Servers and Peering/Transit devices. All based on the Alcatel 7750 chassis. Unfortunately Alcatel is not very widely used in Africa on layer-3 (But as transmission and Layer-2 kit they are widely deployed) and so we have very little experience with them at this layer. What is the general consensus of them in these layers of the network and can anyone point out some strong points/short falls? We've mostly worked on Juniper/Cisco and a little experience on Redback so I can not comment much on the Alcatel layer-3 kit and need some advise on the true technical abilities of the kit. (ie non vendor marketing or competitor shoot down information) Thanks, Mauritz Lewies

If Vixie was the largest spammer on the planet, it wouldn't really effect network operations, unless his spam clogged up our bgp sessions or he started stealing IP blocks or something similarly boring. ;) Jack
