How hard is it to generate a ULA and use > it? I suppose I took/take the view that it *is*, in a sense, being used for documentation. The network is a training network, isolated from the Internet, and used for demonstration purposes. It's a good way to engrave the doco prefix in the students' minds. It also allows all the slides, exercises and other documentation to use the documentation prefix and yet directly match the demonstration network. ULA prefixes have little internal logic and are hard to remember. Not a problem in production, but just another barrier in a training environment. "2001:db8::/32" is very easy to remember (I guess that's the point) and easy to add easy-to-use subnets into. However, I do appreciate that it's a bit of an edge case. In my training I specifically draw the students' attention to this fact.

Data request
by Ramdas Pophale 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

Dear all, I am looking for some data to do network analysis for a research project. For a small network.. 1. topology related data between different nodes of a network such as obtained from traceroute probes 2. attack data for the same network, could be non-specific scanning or DDOS and such 3. performance related data for the same network. Latency information may be. I would have liked to have the data for a couple of networks (~100 to ~1000 nodes) over a six month period. It's alright if the IP addresses are anonymized. Hopefully, this clarifies the requirements. I would have imagined that a network administrator would have access to such data. If someone is willing to share/sell it, that would be great. Any suggestions on the matter would be appreciated. Thanks for your time. Regards, Ramdas.

voip vs tdm fallout
by Michael Thomas 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

Is it too soon to start to compare and contrast how voip held up vs. tdm? Back in the old days circa mid to late 90's, there was a lot of hand wringing about whether voip would be up to the task of dealing with a massive emergency. Well, we certainly have one now in Japan on almost every front imaginable. Is voice such a small fraction of data that the larger issues of cuts, electricity, etc make it moot, or has there been some appreciable differences between the two's ability to stay in usable service?

Any AT&T IP Transit sales folks listening?

I'm looking for an AT&T IP Transit sales contact. Email links on the website don't seem to work and I was on hold for 30 minutes with an auto-attendant when I tried to call. I'm looking for transit on a 1Gbps access out of TelX @ 60 Hudson. Thanks in advance.

Internet Edge Router replacement - IPv6 route table size considerations
by Chris Enger 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

Greetings, I am researching possible replacements for our Internet edge routers, and wanted to see what people could recommend for a smaller chassis or fixed router that can handle current IPv4 routes and transition into IPv6. Currently we have Brocade NetIron 4802s pulling full IPv4 routes plus a default route. I've looked at Extreme, Brocade, Cisco, and a few others. Most range from 256k - 500k IPv4 and 4k - 16k IPv6 routes when CAM space is allocated for both. The only exception I've found so far is the Cisco ASR 1002, which can do 125k v6 along with 500k v4 routes at once. I'm curious if any other vendors have comparable products. My concern is trying to find a router (within our budget) that has room for growth in the IPv6 routing space. When compared to the live table sizes that the CIDR report and routeviews show, some can't handle current routing tables, let alone years of growth. BGP tweaks may keep us going but I can't see how 16k or fewer IPv6 routes on a router is going to be viable a few years from now. Thank you, Chris Enger

Loading MIB Definitions - Help me get out of SNMP Hell!
by Joe Renwick 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

Hello All, Apologize for my lameness in advance. I have spent some serious time researching this topic and have decided to reach out to the forums as the two of the smartest people I know have hit the same wall in the past. Bottom line is I do not understand how to add (?compile?) MIB(s) into my SNMP management system. I use Cacti running on Ubuntu server and it works great. My only frustrations have been in the area of finding the MIB OID(s) to use for gathering specific data. In many cases with CIsco I manage to find the OID name i.e. 'CISCO-PROCESS-MIB::cpmCPUTotal5min.9' but Cacti needs the numeric value. So I try 'snmpget' and here is what I see: *jozo@crdtools:/var/www/cacti/rra$ snmpget -v 2c -c ptasa2etb 192.168.55.5 CISCO-MEMORY-POOL-MIB::ciscoMemoryPoolFree* *MIB search path: /home/jozo/.snmp/mibs:/usr/share/mibs/site:/usr/share/snmp/mibs:/usr/share/mibs/iana:/usr/share/mibs/ietf:/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp * *Cannot find module (CISCO-MEMORY-POOL-MIB): At line 0 in (none)* *CISCO-MEMORY-POOL-MIB::ciscoMemoryPoolFree: Unknown Object Identifier* Did some research and using the following link I loaded the MIB(s)... which basically consisted of a 'wget' of the MIB files into my /home/jozo/.snmp directory. At least I think they are the MIB definition files with a '.my' extension. http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseMIB.do?local=en&step=2&mibName… But I still cannot get the numeric OID values: *jozo@crdtools:~$ snmptranslate -On CISCO-PROCESS-MIB::cpmCPUTotal5min.9* *No log handling enabled - turning on stderr logging* *Unexpected index type: 7 cpmCPUTotalIndex 9* *.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.5.9* Can anyone point me in the right direction. Any links or advice on how to operate SNMP on a Unix type system would be greatly appreciated. Even a response like "RTMF Buddy" would be awesome if a manual was recommended. Thanks to all who read this email. You deserve a beer. Cheers, -- Joe Renwick IP Network Consultant, CCIE #16465 GO NETFORWARD!
