I seem to recall back in the day being annoyed that some interfaces would not allow the trailing dot. My failing memory does not provide and example.

File transfer speed between Hong Kong and Johannesburg, South Africa

Typical link speeds between COs
by Jean-Francois Mezei 11 Jul '13

11 Jul '13

What are the typical speeds used on fibre links between COs in North American and elsewhere ? I realise that there are special cases, such as Shaw using WDM to reach 400gigabits/sec in a link in Western Canada. But what are the most common speeds ? Is WDM in common use to multiplex multiple 10gbps, 40gbps links ? Or is that used mostly for intercity trunks and intra-city trunks tend to not bother with WDM because of ample supply of fibre ? Do telcos typically quickly upgrade fibre strands to newer speeds, or are there still many strands handling only 100mbps or 1gbps between COs because telcos never got around to upgrading legacy equipment/services (such as ATM etc) ? Also in terms of costing WDM, would one typically have a card that has the multiple colours in the card and outputs a single multi-colour signal or would one typically have separate cards for each colour and then use a WDM "filter" to combine/separate colours onto the single strand ?

It all depends on the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow, and varies if it is African or Eurpoean. In all seriousness, you need to know the speed and latency of the link before that question can be answered.

whois.internic.net / whois.crsnic.net IPv6 timeouts
by Stephen Frost 10 Jul '13

10 Jul '13

All, Don't know if it'll help or if this is simply old news to most, but the whois systems (whois.internic.net/whois.crsnic.net) have AAAA records and happily answer TCP/43 requests w/ the usual blurb, but all the servers I've hit then fail to actually provide data and instead the whois client (Ubuntu 13.04) simply time-outs. sfrost@tamriel:/home/sfrost> whois -h 2001:503:5ae2:1060::74 networksolutions.com Whois Server Version 2.0 Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net for detailed information. Timeout. Servers that I've tried so far (all IPv6 addresses I got through running 'host whois.crsnic.net'): 2001:503:5419:1060::74 2001:503:3227:1060::74 2001:503:6810:1060::74 2001:503:bfb0:1060::74 2001:500:30ff:1060::74 2001:503:7bbf:1060::74 2001:502:be98:1060::74 2001:502:8c25:1060::74 Anyone from NetSol care? It's not the end of the world, but it certainly is quite annoying.. Judging by some complaints on the 'net, looks to be a rather long-standing issue too (there's a Debian bug #683187 which mentions similar issues from nearly a year ago..). Thanks, Stephen
