Re: 24x7 Support Strategies (DC Cooling)

It uses a liquid which turns to a gas if the line is breached. It provides the advantages of liquid cooling, but without the hazards of having water leaks inside the datacenter. We aren't using it yet, but we did investigate it to get better cooling with the last AC upgrade/addition cycle. We stayed with conventional air cooling due to equipment footprint restrictions. Our current datacenter heat load is about 125-150W/sq. ft. and it is only rising. -Robert Tellurian Networks - Global Hosting Solutions Since 1995 http://www.tellurian.com | 888-TELLURIAN | 973-300-9211 "Well done is better than well said." - Benjamin Franklin

IPv6 Deployment Panel at ICANN San Juan meeting
by Leo Vegoda 14 Jun '07

14 Jun '07

Hi, I've set the reply-to address to me as this message has gone to several lists. There will be an IPv6 Deployment Panel discussion at the ICANN meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Sunday 24 June between 3pm and 4.30pm (UTC -4). The session will focus on the issues associated with deploying IPv6 on a network designed for IPv4. Session information can be found on the meeting web site at: http://sanjuan2007.icann.org/node/16 The session will be webcast and the ICANN public participation site lets registered users ask questions and comment in chatrooms and forums. If you have any particular questions then please submit questions to the panel in advance or during the session. You can also use the blog facility to write about the session afterwards. The site can be found at: http://public.icann.org/ Video and a session transcript will be made available as soon as possible after the session has closed. Regards, -- Leo Vegoda IANA Numbers Liaison

Peering matrix information at IXPs
by Ricardo V. Oliveira 14 Jun '07

14 Jun '07

Hi, I was wondering if there is any web page with pointers to IXP's peering matrices (such as http://www.swissix.ch/peermatrix.php)? Also, I wanted to know how usually these matrices are built - if they are produced from IRR data, manually , or from traffic measurements? Thanks! --Ricardo

workshop on app classification
by Mark Allman 13 Jun '07

13 Jun '07

Folks- This is a bit off-topic, but I wanted to make folks aware of it and note that we'd love to hear some operational experience / opinion about this entire area of trying to figure out what app a given traffic flow involves. (Yes, I understand that at some level it doesn't matter.) allman IMRG Workshop on Application Classification and Identification (WACI) There is considerable interest in identifying network traffic by application to support network provisioning, network security, and service quality. Techniques that rely on a well-known port number to identify an application may give a gross notion of the spread of applications, but it is not a reliable means for application identification in the face of evasion. There has been work in using traffic characteristics to construct application equivalence classes, using techniques such as machine learning, principal component analysis, deep packet inspection and others. The Workshop on Application Classification and Identification (WACI) aims to bring together the most active researchers in this research area. The main objectives of the one-day workshop will be to discuss recent advancements in this field, discuss new approaches and their implications, and identify open problems that require further research. Topics of interest (include, but are not limited to): - Statistical methods for identifying application-layer protocols - Methods for finding application classes (file transfer, interactive, etc.) - Efficient schemes for using deep packet inspection to identify applications - Identifying applications within tunnels - Identifying rogue/nefarious applications - Peer-to-peer application identification - Peer-to-peer traffic characterization Submission instructions We invite interested researchers to submit a 1-2 page abstract or position statement. Abstracts will be chosen based on their relevance to the area of application identification, and on the diversity of the covered topics. There will be no full-paper submissions or proceedings. Authors of accepted abstracts however should plan to give a 25-minute presentation that will be posted at the workshop's web page (TBA). A significant part of the workshop will be given to discussions and interaction among participants. Submissions must be in electronic form, as plain-text or PDF (if graphs are included) documents, and they should be submitted by e-mail to: Tim Strayer (strayer(a)bbn.com) Registration Attendance at this workshop will be by invitation. Authors of submitted abstracts should commit that they will attend the workshop if their abstract is accepted. Others interested in attending should indicate this in email to Tim Strayer (strayer(a)bbn.com) There will be no registration fee. Important Dates - July 1, 2007 - submission of 1-2 pages abstract - August 15, 2007 - acceptance notification - October 3, 2007 - workshop at BBN Technologies Workshop Location WACI will be held at: BBN Technologies 10 Moulton Street Cambridge MA, USA Organizing and program committee - Tim Strayer, chair (BBN, strayer(a)bbn.com) - Mark Allman (ICIR-ICSI, mallman(a)acm.org) - Grenville Armitage (Swinburne University, garmitage(a)swin,edu.au) - Steve Bellovin (Columbia University, smb(a)cs.columbia.edu) - Shudong Jin (Case Western Reserve University, jins(a)case.edu) - Andrew Moore (CUCL, andrew.moore(a)cl.cam.ac.uk) Sponsors The workshop is sponsored by the IRTF's Internet Measurement Research Group and hosted by BBN Technologies.

CableLabs issues CALEA specification
by Sean Donelan 12 Jun '07

CableLabs announced the release of its new Cable Broadband Intercept Specification. http://www.cablemodem.com/downloads/specs/CM-SP-CBI2.0-I01-070611.pdf While praising CableLabs, the FBI avoided saying the CableLabs specifications were acceptable. The FBI committed to working to further refine and develop future comprehensive solutions. http://www.fbi.gov/pressrel/pressrel07/calea061207.htm
