Problems with the NANOG Meeting Archives
by Betty Burke 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Colleagues: Unfortunately, it is true the archives are not working properly. As part of the NANOG Service transition, the code which supports the meeting(s) presentation archive stopped working. We have all the data, and staff are currently working quickly to repair the code and return to normal operations of the archive. We understand the importance of the NANOG meeting history, and are sorry for the delay in access. I do not yet have an eta, however I will be sure to keep the community posted. Please accept my apology for the interruption. Betty -- Betty Burke NewNOG/NANOG Executive Director Office (810) 214-1218

Looking for an AT&T contact that can update a prefix list
by Joe Freeman 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

If there's an AT&T contact on the list, or if anyone knows how to get a prefix filter updated, I'd appreciate a response. I put in a request for the update yesterday, and even called in to make sure they'd do it, but it's apparently not done yet, and I've had a customer down for hours waiting on it. Thanks- joe

bgp tools for route optmization based on(performance, cost and reliability
by MageMojo 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Hi all, Looking for tools to optimize bgp routes based on performance, cost and reliability. Paid, open source, doesn't matter. Even presentations or research papers on performing tasks are welcome. But not configuration guides on multihoming :) Specifically in the context of a hosting provider who's multihomed to several tier 1's. What tools do you use for such optimization and just every day maintenance? Eric

real ARP / CAM limits on Huawei CX600?
by Rogelio 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

Anyone have any good info on how many ARP entries one of the Huawei CX600 routers can take? http://www.huawei.com/en/products/data-communication/metro-services-platfor… I will be passing about 1000 L2TP tunnels to a router before it, and the subscriber network that will be hitting the interface is about 30K people at any given time. I'm hoping that it's cool ARP-wise and that the bridging that's done internally doesn't break (i.e. Huawei's equivalent to a CAM table) -- Also on LinkedIn?

CISCO IOS 12.x Virtual Switch
by Daniel Espejel 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

Hello list!. I want to virtualize a CISCO Switch with CISCO IOS 12.x to perform some test on its RA-Guard implementation. By searching over Internet I've found that its possible to virtualize some devices such as routers using GSN3 and a CISCO IOS image. Is it possible to do something like this but for a switch instead of a router?. Or does anyone have any suggestions in order to test CISCO's RA-Guard (or another implementation)?? Best regards. -- Daniel Espejel Perez
