[NANOG-announce] Amendments to the NANOG Bylaws
by Steve Gibbard 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

NANOG members (and other interested people), The NANOG bylaws provide an opportunity each year to amend them, if needed. Bylaw amendments may be enacted by a majority vote of eligible voters (in other words, NANOG Members), during NANOG's annual election. The election is scheduled to take place during NANOG 53, from October 9-11, with voting open to all NANOG members (http://www.nanog.org/membership_main.html) The current bylaws are posted at http://www.nanog.org/governance/documents/By-Laws_20110104.pdf An amendment may be put on the ballot by the Board of Directors or by petition. A petition must be signed by at least 30 eligible voters, or 1 percent of eligible voters, whichever is greater. In addition, the Board had the power to make bylaw amendments during NANOG's first year as an independent corporation, subject to ratification by the voters in the next election. The Board used that procedure to amend the bylaws and institute the current membership structure, so that amendment will now need to be accepted or rejected by the membership. Accordingly, there will be a proposal on the ballot to ratify the current membership structure (Section 5 of the bylaws). The board has also discussed submitting a proposal to modify the committee structure called for in the bylaws (Section 9), to reflect that some of the committee functions are now being handled by staff. Any other changes people want to suggest may be discussed on the nanog-futures(a)nanog.org mailing list. Anybody wishing to put a bylaw amendment on the ballot without board action may do so by submitting a petition to nominations(a)nanog.org no later than September 26. Thank you, Steve Gibbard NANOG Membership Chair _______________________________________________ NANOG-announce mailing list NANOG-announce(a)nanog.org https://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog-announce

Rate Limiting and Bit Counting
by Luke Marrott 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

I'm looking to evaluate some solutions for Rate limiting and bit counting / metering. I am not really interested in Filtering packets by application or protocol, just delivering bandwidth at a defined service level based on endpoint IP. I would also like to have the option to track how much data is transferred per endpoint for potential metering. I already use a smaller sandvine at another location and we are satisfied with it but this would be a bigger project so I am looking for alternatives. Does anyone have any experience with hardware like this they could recommend? Thanks, :Luke

Aqua Conduit for 10G multi-mode?
by Michael J McCafferty 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

All, Orange innerduct/split-loom tubing for multi-mode, yellow for single-mode... Where's the aqua for the aqua OM3 fiber? I feel like the Ethernet fashion police, but it's a horrible color clash for aqua fiber dressed in yellow or orange. Where is my aqua innerduct and/or tubing? Does anyone make it?

So Cal Verizon FIOS Issues?
by James Laszko 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

I was curious if anyone else is seeing huge problems from Verizon FIOS connected sites in Southern California reaching large segments of the Internet? It appears that Verizon has lost something large in Los Angeles and it's affecting hundreds of our customers. Lack of connectivity to various places around the Internet... It's really odd because sites that are located in adjacent cities can get further than their neighbors, but fail in the end (some go to LAX and die, others get routed to DFW and die). Large swaths of CDN's are not able to be connected to from any of the sites. Curious what others are seeing.
