Internet mauled by bears

http://news.techeye.net/internet/internet-attacked-by-bears#.TnZXk5rhOv8.re… Internet attacked by bears Is there a picnic basket in this node? 16 Sep 2011 09:44 | by Nick Farrell in Rome | Filed in Internet Internet attacked by bears - Techies in Idaho have been scratching their heads trying to work out why the state has the slowest networks in the Land of the Free. Pando Network released the findings of a nationwide study on internet speeds. It found Idaho has the slowest networks, while Rhode Island, New Jersey and Massachusetts are at the top of the pack. The New York Times took it upon itself to find out why Idaho's internet was the slowest and came out with the surprising result that it was all due to bears. Now many of you would probably think that slow internet times are probably due to the fact that only 1,567,582 live in Idaho and telephone companies can't be bothered investing in cable. It is known as the Potato State because that is its major crop and several of its politicians have been root vegetables. But according to the Times, another problem is that the internet depends on line-of-site towers to get over the more mountainous regions. This is where the bears come in. Bears like the internet towers because they are ideal for scratching that part of their backs that they can't normally itch. Your average bear will rub against a tower and cause it to lose line of site connections. Barry Ramsay told the Times that when it happened work crews had to ride up in snowmobiles to discover the problem. He pointed out that these are the kind of problems city folk probably don't have in an urban area because there is a bear shortage.

yahoo mail admin anywhere?
by randal k 22 Sep '11

22 Sep '11

We have a situation where we/many of our customers are unable to receive email from Yahoo due to broken DNS, which really doesn't look broken. As I don't have error numbers, just undeliverables, automated support is not useful. Off-list is fine, but posting a real honest-to-gosh-real-life contact to NANOG would probably be awesome to more people than just me ;-) Thanks! Randal Kohutek, Data102 randal(a)data102.com rkohutek(a)gmail.com because the above probably won't work! 719-387-0000x1337

Could I get some feedback from the list on PBB (802.1ah) v. PBB-TE (802.1Qay). Very specifically around: 1. PBB-TE's Customer side MAC learning and management capabilities. 2. PBB's direct or augmented ability to handle broadcast floods. Also, any recommendations from the list on strong PBB-TE vendors would be appreciated. Thanks for your feedback in advance.

akamai rate limiting?
by Joseph Gersch 22 Sep '11

22 Sep '11

Does anyone know if Akamai edgesuite servers rate limits or blacklists caching servers that query it too often? It appears that queries are timing out if we exceed a query load to edgesuite. Does anyone at Akamai know if there are any changes to rate limiting or an abnormally high load? Joseph Gersch Chief Operating Officer Secure64 Software Corporation

No one replied with any useful information. I guess no one wants competition on this list? Pretty poor tactic.

Any Verizon routing folks listening?
by Drew Linsalata 21 Sep '11

21 Sep '11

We're seeing complaints from VZ DSL customers in the NY area that are unable to exchange any IP traffic with mail hosts on multiple netblocks. Port independent. Sounds like auto- blacklisting run amok. Off list contact welcomed and appreciated. -- Sent from my iPhone
