Hey Folks, Just a reminder that nominations for the Program Committee are open. The PC is a group of sixteen individuals from the NANOG community who together are responsible for the NANOG program. The folks we choose will shape the future of NANOG. With that in mind, I encourage you to self-nominate or nominate a member of the community who you feel has energy and ideas about how the NANOG meetings can improve and evolve. And for those who haven't served on the PC, it is a great to work with our community and it is a very rewarding experience. NANOG has a great tradition; please consider contributing to it as part of the Program Committee. So if you want to self-nominate or if you want to nominate someone else, send your nomination to nominations(a)nanog.org. If you are nominating another person, please provide that person's name and email address. If you are nominating yourself, please provide a Statement of Intent and a Biography, each with a suggested limit of 150 words. For samples, please see the 2010 candidate lists, < http://www.nanog.org/governance/elections/2010elections/>. As always, if you have a questions, please email nominations(a)nanog.org.

Internet Governance Fight Looms
by Skeeve Stevens 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

Hey all, A pretty important meeting is happening at the IGF (Internet Governance Forum) at the moment with a fight about how the internet itself is managed. The article below gives a good overview of the situation. http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/09/22/internet-governance-fight-looms The worrying thing is the size and power of some of the countries who want to do things differently than our present multi-stakeholder approach. As the writer quotes "Nothing less than the fate of the future evolution of the Internet is at stake". It sounds dramatic, but if certain powers get their way, it could be close to the truth. There are numerous people from our community going to be attending the event in Africa and no doubt will report back to us with what is happening. …Skeeve -- Skeeve Stevens, CEO - eintellego Pty Ltd skeeve(a)eintellego.net<mailto:skeeve@eintellego.net> ; www.eintellego.net Phone: 1300 753 383 ; Fax: (+612) 8572 9954 Cell +61 (0)414 753 383 ; skype://skeeve facebook.com/eintellego twitter.com/networkceoau ; www.linkedin.com/in/skeeve PO Box 7726, Baulkham Hills, NSW 1755 Australia -- eintellego - The Experts Who The Experts Call Juniper - HP Networking - Cisco - Brocade

OSPF Visualizer?
by Lorell Hathcock 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

All: I am a small Wireless ISP in need of an OSPF visualizer that does not cost an arm and a leg. I would like one that can listen to LSA's in each area and build a map of the network. I anticipate that I could trouble OSPF issues with such a system. Any open source projects? Thanks in advance, Lorell Hathcock

Historically the CPE of choice was a small Cisco ISR (1600, 1700, 1800, and 1900 most recently). As bandwidth levels went up, and Ethernet-based transport services became available, we started looking and leveraging FOSS on commodity hardware to lower costs and move services to the edge. Right now we have about 100 of the bigger school districts being services by a Linux-based appliance running XORP for its routing engine (we would have tried Quagga, but they don't support multicast routing yet, nor does Vyatta). It's been a learning experience. Most of the problems we ran into have been resolved by tuning the kernel parameters to act more like a router than a desktop or server. XORP itself has had a rocky ride since we started, so the stability of the project has also been a concern. Thankfully it is seeing somewhat active development again. I will note that XORP is very touchy about how it's configured; if you have well tested configuration templates it's fine, but it's very easy to get it into a crashing state based on something as little the order of configuration directives. For the most part once it's running it's stable. -------------------------------------------------------------------- After roll-out and after a time in steady-state operation did you do an analysis of human and hardware/software costs (as well as service to end sites, such as outages that might not have happened with normal routers and LAN switches) to see if you actually saved money? scott

Re: flow generating tool
by jiaruchen＠gmail.com 26 Sep '11

Iperf(linux) and jperf(windows) does generate traffic flows. You simply set up sender/receiver and it'll generate traffic load. It can generate 10gig line rate unicast flows but multicast replication is limited because it is software based. Iperf/jperf however, is not as flexible or anywhere as feature rich and powerful as some of the other hardware solutions as mentioned earlier - ex: ixia, spirent etc. -Jia ------Original Message------ From: Erik Bais To: 'Naiden Dimitrov' To: 'George Jones' Cc: nanog(a)nanog.org Subject: RE: flow generating tool Sent: Sep 26, 2011 9:03 AM Perhaps not a tool as in software, but clearly something that you might want to have a look at : Ixia and Spirent devices ... Those are mostly used for applications like generating different kind of traffic. Erik Bais

Thank you for the response, but this is a tool that examines data flows. I need a tool that generates data flows in order to test network equipment.

robtex phantom data
by Joe Pruett 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

i've tried asking the robtex folks where they get their as-macro data, but have not received a response. i'm trying to figure out where they are getting the as-spiretech as-macro from. i know i created that years ago, but i can't find it in any of the routing registries i might have used. i may have forgotten to delete it, but i can't figure out where it is in order to kill it off. other data in robtex seems to be current, so it seems likely that they are getting the data from a db somewhere, but where? anyone out there have any good ideas of where to look? or if robtex has a known issue with as-macros?

vyatta for bgp
by Ben Albee 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

Does anybody currently use vyatta as a bgp router for their company? If so have you ran into any problems with using that instead of a cisco or juniper router?
