Yes, and I'm told by my best friend who did attend (I didn't make it this year) that the hotel wired/wifi was essentially unusable, every time he tried.

RE: Recommended Generator Service in Northern Colorado (from nanog)

Since I have gotten many off list responses.. I have a submitted an "Information Request" they sent me back the list which is on their website of 24 shops within 75 miles. Looking for a little bit more information/history, as two of them I called this morning I went to their voicemail. Of course they were the ones with reviews on the Generac website as well so no more real world feedback. Thanks --Blake -----Original Message----- From: Hal Murray [mailto:hmurray@megapathdsl.net] Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2012 2:58 PM To: Blake Pfankuch Cc: Hal Murray Subject: Re: Recommended Generator Service in Northern Colorado (from nanog) > Looking for some recommendations on a company to do regularly > scheduled maintenance work on our Generac Generator in Northern > Colorado.

They have a serious interest in making sure that somebody will service their gear. If they don't actually now of a service company, they might know of other customers in your area. -- These are my opinions. I hate spam.

Comcast mail admin contact?
by George Bonser 19 Sep '12

19 Sep '12

We are having trouble that seems to look like we are being throttled from one of our production nets to Comcast's pop3 service (mail.comcast.net) Service appears to work fine from other addresses in our network, just transactions from one of our more active production source IPs seems to progress like molasses or sometimes connections time out completely though we are not experiencing any packet loss so it looks like throttling of some sort. If there's someone from Comcast or someone else on the list who could point me to the proper contact for admin of that service, I'd be much obliged. It is having significant impact on some of their users who reach them via our services. G

Looking for some recommendations on a company to do regularly scheduled maintenance work on our Generac Generator in Northern Colorado. The company who did the installation is out of business, and the company who most recently did work does not believe in answering the phone... Any suggestions welcome. --Blake

[NANOG-announce] Proposed NANOG bylaws amendments
by Steve Feldman 19 Sep '12

19 Sep '12

Please review and comment on the proposed amendments to the NANOG bylaws at: https://sites.google.com/a/newnog.org/bylaws-2012/ It has become apparent that cleaning up and simplifying our bylaws will be a long-term project, more than can be accomplished in a single election cycle. These proposed amendments are intended as the first in a series to accomplish those goals, to fix a few outstanding issues and to provide a framework for future improvement. Please direct discussion to the members(a)nanog.org or nanog-futures(a)nanog.org list as appropriate. The board will be voting on final ballot language early in October based on these recommendations and your input. Note that there is also a procedure for members to directly place amendments ballot by petition, as described in section 14 of the bylaws. Thanks, Steve _______________________________________________ NANOG-announce mailing list NANOG-announce(a)nanog.org https://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog-announce

Re: Big Temporary Networks (Dreamforce)
by Ryan Malayter 18 Sep '12

Anyone from nanog currently at the wheel of the conference network at Dreamforce in San Francisco (nearly 70000 attendees)? It appears that all of the suggestions posted to this nanog thread so far were thoroughly ignored. Conference WiFi is effectively unusable, despite the very visible, expensive-looking enterprisey APs on temporary stands sprinkled throughout the conference. As far as I can tell, they're doing NAT, using a /16 per AP (which could amount to 5,000 or more devices in one broadcast domain depending on the location!), and are using what appear to be omnidirectional antennas at full blast power instead of zoning with tight directionals. Wifi is nearly unusable; even Sprint's crappy 3G coverage is faster and more reliable inside the conference halls.. -- RPM

FW: [arin-announce] Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) Now Available to ARIN Customers
by Mark Kosters 18 Sep '12

18 Sep '12

Hi This announcement may be of interest to many of you. Regards, Mark From: INFO <info(a)arin.net<mailto:info@arin.net>> Date: Monday, September 17, 2012 9:59 AM To: "arin-announce(a)arin.net<mailto:arin-announce@arin.net>" <arin-announce(a)arin.net<mailto:arin-announce@arin.net>> Subject: [arin-announce] Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) Now Available to ARIN Customers ARIN is proud to announce that ARIN resource holders with either a signed RSA or LRSA may now participate in RPKI through ARIN Online. Additionally, those wishing to validate RPKI information may do so after requesting a Trust Anchor Locator (TAL). ARIN’s TAL is required to validate information from ARIN’s RPKI repository. RPKI is a free, opt-in service that allows users to certify their Internet number resources to help secure Internet routing. This initiative has been developed within the IETF's SIDR Working Group, with involvement from Regional Internet Registries (RIRs), and numerous Internet Service Providers (ISPs). ARIN encourages members of the Internet community to certify their resources through RPKI. Internet routing today is vulnerable to hijacking and the provisioning/use of certificates is one of steps required to make routing more secure. Widespread RPKI adoption will help simplify IP address holder verification and routing decision-making on the Internet. ARIN plans to continually review and improve RPKI based upon user feedback. Users are encouraged to report any issues via the arin-tech-discuss mailing list. For more information about this crucial step in securing Internet routing as well as future enhancement plans, visit ARIN’s RPKI Home Page at https://www.arin.net/resources/rpki/index.html. Regards, Mark Kosters Chief Technical Officer (CTO) American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN)
