Not quite correct. Anywhere from 1 to 36 bits, and not spanning a 36-bit word boundary. Essentialy what is now known as a bit field. --Johnny

Technical contact at XO/Concentric
by Knut A. Syed 04 Oct '12

04 Oct '12

Hi, If anyone from XO/Concentric is on on the list or anyone has a technical contact who can help with connectivity issues to their hosted Web-sites, please pass this along to the right person/team or respond to me off-list. Some of our customers are having problems connecting to Web-services hosted by XO/Concentric. The problem is limited to customers within a certain /17 allocation we have (82.134.0.0/17). Ping and connections to the SMTP-service on the same destination IP are fine. But when the customers try to connect to the HTTP-service tcpdumps shows that no packets are returned. We have tried Customer Care to no help. TIA! Kind Regards, Knut A. Syed

Internet routing table "completeness" monitoring?
by ML 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

Has anyone put in place a method to identify if one their BGP peers suddenly withdraws X% of their prefixes? e.g I should expect ~420k prefixes in a "complete"[1] routing table from a transit peer today. If suddenly I'm only getting 390k prefixes I'd guess a major network was depeered or similiar. If so how are people doing this? SNMP MIB, screen scrape? [1] Varying levels of completeless apply.

So what's the deal with 10Gbase-T
by Andreas Echavez 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

Hey guys, Does anyone here have experience running copper 10Gbase-T networks? It seems like the standard just died out. For us it would make a lot of sense for our applications -- even if throughput and latency aren't as great. If anyone out there knows of any *copper* 10 gig-t switches (48 port?), I'd be interested to hear your experiences. I can't seem to find any high-density ones from major vendors. Thanks, Andreas

RFC becomes Visio
by Joe Maimon 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

Just got told by a Lightpath person that in order to do BGP on a customer gig circuit to them they would need a visio diagram (of what I dont know). Has anybody else seen this brain damage? Joe
