I said 'extra' because I asked the Cisco reps on phone to provide me a complete list of files that should exist on a brand new ASA, and the 4 files above were not part of the list and I think even they got confused when I mentioned the existence of these files. I could not find much info on these files, but a simple Google search indicates that these files may be 'recovery files' of Disks operating under Unix/Linux/BSD/etc /... kernel, indicating a dying hard drive. That would be enough to freak me out! Anyone can confirm this?

We carry our internet in a VPRN for various reasons. The 7450s don't do BGP AFAIK in a VPRN. So, if your downstream BGP customers will physically attach to the 7450 you'll have to epipe over to a 7750 to terminate BGP. Then, since the epipe doesn't go down, you'll have to do BFD with the customer. Many customers say "do what?"... ;-) If you don't do BFD they'll have to wait for the BGP session to time out. scott

When I said "Reply to all" ("reply to list" didn't light, because it turns out the list name was not in the bunch any place, so I deleted all the CC:s and added a "To: ". My usual practice is to delete all the To:s and Cc:s, leaving only the CC: nanog(a)nanog.org which seems to work fine. It would be nice if people would just reply to the list and leave all the CC;s from prior list traffic off. > Congrats.

Anyone have any real-world experience with Ubiquti's MIMO PTP equipment? We're looking to shoot data at distances of a few hundred feet up to 2-3 miles. Reliability? Latency? Other issues? Any feedback is appreciated. http://www.ubnt.com/nanobridge Thanks! Todd

Maybe I'm wrong on this, and I'm not a mailadmin anywhere nor have I been or pretended to have been in the past. But I'm pretty sure FB only sends you mail based on the prefrences you choose, and I know this is the answer you where given so mostly a statement.

They are aware that facebook's servers have been sporadically listed, and one of them specifically said the following: "Not much we can do about the listings. They're sending spam to our traps in large enough numbers that raises the score to a listing level. If Facebook were to follow best practices the spam complaints and trap hits would drop to levels that keeps them from getting listed." ~reed -- Reed Loden - <reed(a)reedloden.com> Sent from my BlackBerry device on the Rogers Wireless Network

Are there any common locations in Alaska where multiple local ISPs exchange traffic, either transit or peering? Or is Seattle the closest exchange point for Alaska ISPs?
