Route table prefix monitoring
by Olsen, Jason 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

Howdy all, I've done a bit of digging through the Google machine and the MarkMail archive of NANOG (Which is a great resource I cannot plug enough - http://nanog.markmail.org) and have a few vague answers, but would like some deeper thought so I'm putting this out to the list. We recently had an event where, unbeknownst to us, a circuit went down and a /16 prefix inside our core routing table was withdrawn as a consequence of adjacency disappearing with that downed circuit (the fact that it went down without us knowing is being worked already). This caused a severe breakage for a legacy system that hasn't been touched in years, and tribal knowledge couldn't explain why we were seeing that legacy system going to a subnet that nobody knew anything about (again, documentation is something that's being worked already as a consequence of this). What I'm left thinking is that it would have been great if we'd had a snapshot of our core routing table as it stood hours or even days prior to this event occurring, so that I could compare it with our current "broken" state, so the team could have seen that subnet in the core table and what the next hop was for the prefix. Are there any tools that people are using to track when/what prefixes are added/withdrawn from their routing tables, or to pull the routing table as a whole at regular intervals for storage/comparison purposes? It looks like there's a plugin for NAGIOS, but I'm looking for suggestions on any other tools (commercial, open source, home grown) that we might take a look at. For reference, we are running Cisco as well as Juniper kit. Feel free to drop me your thoughts off-list. Thank you for any insight ahead of time, -Jason "Feren" Olsen

[NANOG-announce] 2009 NANOG charter amendments
by Steve Feldman 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

The NANOG charter is the document which governs the operation of NANOG, and the relationship between the community and NANOG's hosting organization, Merit Network. The current text is at http://www.nanog.org/governance/charter/ . During the NANOG annual election, voters are given the opportunity to decide on amendments to the NANOG charter. Typically, the amendment process has been used to remedy oversights, modify processes with the benefit of experience, and to correct and tighten language. This year, the election is being held during the NANOG meeting October 18-21 in Dearborn, MI. There are two ways to put an amendment on the ballot: - Vote by a majority of the Steering Committee - A petition signed by at least 30 eligible voters, and submitted by September 28, 2009. See http://www.nanog.org/governance/elections/2009elections/2009charteramend.php for more details on the process. As amendments are proposed, they will be added to that page. If you have any suggestions for amendments, or would like to comment on NANOG governance in general, please join the discussion on the nanog-futures list, or contact the Steering Committee or any of its members directly. Steve Feldman (for the Steering Committee) _______________________________________________ NANOG-announce mailing list NANOG-announce(a)nanog.org http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog-announce

WS-X6148A-GE-TX performance question
by Scott Spencer 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

Are the X6148A cards dedicated 1 gb/s uplink for each port ( shared 32 Gb/s bus , as long as each port is it's own 1 gb/s still to the 32gb/s bus and not shared with 7 other ports, so effectively just 125Mb/s per port then if all used at full/even capacity) ? I can't really find anything much on X6148A internal architecture online, but it would seem that each port gets its own 1gb/s link to the card/backplane, and that the bottleneck then is the 32gb/s backplane (which is fine, as long as it's not 1 gb/s per each set of 8 ports!).
