OT: Cisco.com password reset.
by Joe Blanchard 03 Aug '05

03 Aug '05

FYI I got an email that my CCO account's password was reset last night. Not sure how widespread this issue was, but I called my account contact and verified that this is a valid email, and that my password needed to be reset. Just a heads up. -Joe Blanchard

NETGEAR in the core...
by Robert E.Seastrom 03 Aug '05

03 Aug '05

OK, not really "in the core", but the subject made you look at least. :) I'm interested in people's experiences with consumer-grade routers functioning in non-NAT mode; that is to say, running PPPoE to the ISP and routing a /29 or a /28. A sane filtering language and stateful firewall that can operate in non-NAT mode is a plus. My experiences with Linksys (and Netscreen, which isn't really at the price point I wanted anyway) have caused me to rip out substantial amounts of my already insufficient hair. "Cisco 1700 series" or "Cisco 2600XM" would be nice answers if their price had the decimal point moved one place to the left. Linux or other non-vendor-supplied firmware, while cool, represents an unacceptable support load for my application. Any thoughts? ---Rob

Apparently, the OMB has release a memo outlining it's IPv6 migration plans. From an article in GCN.com: [snip] Agencies may have until June 30, 2008, to transition to Internet Protocol Version 6, but the planning starts now. The Office of Management and Budget has released a memo [.pdf] that gives agencies until Nov. 15 to assign an official to coordinate the move to the new protocol and complete an inventory of existing routers, switches and hardware firewalls.

VOIP provider
by Shane Owens 03 Aug '05

03 Aug '05

Not really an operational question, but an engineering question non-the-less. This may also not be the most suitable forum, but there is a large brain trust here that can probably answer my questions. We are looking at a business plan to launch a large VOIP carrier globally. My questions are: 1: Does it make sense to scatter nodes around the globe to limit latency on intraregional calls? If so how many? We were thinking about 7 placed at strategic points around the globe. 2: Is a softswitch architecture preferred to a proxy server/Media Gateway (Vonage) only type architecture? 3: What protocols should be used for firmware upgrades to ATA devices? We are thinking HTTPS or SFTP, or HTTP if those aren't available on selected devices. I am trying to stay away from TFTP for security reasons. 4: Anyone have any vendor recommendations? We currently use Metaswitch for our Softswitch, but I'm not sure it would be the best choice for a large scale deployment although I am going to research it. 5: Should I work with large wholesalers (L3, GX, etc) or try to penetrate markets in some other way? 6: Are there any wholesalers (DID Origination) outside of the US that anyone knows of? Sorry to have so many questions. Many of these I already have ideas on the answers however I acknowledge there are far smarter people than myself in the world. So I figure it's a good idea to ask and get opinions from others before I make a final decision. Shane Shaneowens<at>dna-communications.com
