That would work if someone handled the join requests there. My request to join that group after about 10 days is still "pending". -Hank

Just wondering what this community thinks of NIST in general and their SP800-119 ( http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-119/sp800-119.pdf ) writeup about IPv6 in particular.

http://www.marketingvox.com/under-the-microscope-what-the-end-of-ipv4-means… I can hear people, say oh no.... Interesting to see that marketers do not like CGNAT.

Recommendations for Outsourced Support for Cacti?
by Rodriguez, Mauricio 15 Feb '11

15 Feb '11

Couldn't help but notice all the Cacti screens open during NANOG51. We have also implemented Cacti for our data collection and trend analysis needs. Recently, support of our Cacti implementation, both server/OS and app, was handed off to another group within my company. This sparked an interest in finding a firm that could help us going forward with support, customization, maintenance/upgrades, etc. Does anyone out there use such a firm for support that they would be willing to recommend?

AS7007 incident - would someone please "fix" the article?
by Adrian Chadd 14 Feb '11

14 Feb '11

There's a wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AS_7007_incident .. that a post I wrote up for a local computer club magazine somehow suffices as primary reference material for. Even though I think this is partially hilarious, would someone mind making it a little more authoritive and well-referenced? My article was definitely not written to be used as any form of source, primary or otherwise. :-) Thanks! Adrian

Packet over SONET failback
by Jason Lixfeld 14 Feb '11

14 Feb '11

PoS failure detection happens in under 50ms, but what about the failback? Same deal? I ask because I've got two routers connected to opposite ends of a spare PoS link that I've been playing with and I'm noticing that the failback on the far side seems to be about 15 seconds (assuming the near side failover was initiated with an interface shutdown command and thusly no shut'd to re-enable the link). Just wanted to know if a higher failback time is a relatively normal occurrence and maybe I'm seeing some sort of built-in hold down feature working away?
