I think I just made up a word. :) > > So if it's illegal for you to put a letter inside a FedEx box, Bzzt! It's -not- illegal to put a letter inside a FedEx box. It just has to have the appropriate (USPS) postage on it, _as_well_ as paying the FedEx service/delivery fee. This is true if it is just the letter you're sending, or if it is a sealed letter -inside- a box/package being shipped.. Now _live_scorpions_, on the other hand, are someting that the USPS _will_ delive, but AFAIK no 'express' service will handle. (One discovers some of the strangest things when one actually sits down and *reads* the _complete_ rules/regulation on a subject. In this case, it's the "Domestic Mail Manual". Scorpions are 'addressed' in 601.9.3.10)

BT, the old, formally government-owned, then privatised, effective last-mile monopoly, was split up. (I believe in return for some more government cash to build infrastructure, but I could be wrong on the order of events). BT OpenReach is now responsible for wires on poles / in the ground, CO space etc, and has to sell access to these to other divisions of BT (Wholesale, Residential) in the same arms-length way they sell them to other ISPs. It doesn't always work *quite* like that, especially in respect of actually getting space and power in COs, but the framework is there... Regards, Tim.

[OT]: WCCPv2 and >gige?
by Adrian Chadd 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

Hi all, I have a customer who is looking for examples of WCCPv2 deployments for traffic levels > 3 gige (and above, up to 10ge.) Now I know that theoretically there's no reason why this shouldn't be the case, but as I don't have a lab of 10GE capable Cisco L3 devices, I'm unable to verify that level of behaviour. So, is anyone using WCCPv2 redirection on gige and 10ge interfaces, and mind sharing with me the equipment/configuration/IOS version? Thanks, Adrian

Help with GC/Level3 route issue
by Carlos G Mendioroz 20 Dec '10

20 Dec '10

Hi, I'm facing a problem that is becoming a nightmare. Some of our prefixes (ASN 10277) are being redistributed by Level 3 as being learned from/originated by Global Crossing. Thing is, we have no contact with GC nor Level3. I'd appreciate any kind advice as to who to contact regarding this. Sorry if this is not the right channel too. -- Carlos G Mendioroz <tron(a)acm.org>
