OT? /dev/null 5.1.1 email
by Jim Popovitch 09 Jul '05

09 Jul '05

<disclaimer> I know this is an email-only question, however the value of the feedback from NANOG is greater than elsewhere, imho. </disclaimer> Should undeliverable email (5.1.1, User unknown) be directed to /dev/null rather than responded to? I was always under the impression that it was nice to respond with a polite message, however these days it seems that 95% of the polite responses are going to 5.1.1 addresses themselves.

icc to itu: fix the analog divide before venturing digital
by Randy Bush 08 Jul '05

08 Jul '05

The International Telecoms Union (ITU) has been told by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) to focus more of its efforts on stimulating the growth of fixed line voice telephony in developing countries. The Swiss-led ICC, which represents global business interests, says that the ITU devotes too much of its focus to the technical management of the internet rather than the core issue of teledensity. The ITU has recently announced plans to wrest control of internet administration from the US-based Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).

Regardless of Moore's law, there are some > fundamental physical limits that constrain technology. I would contend that is not true. What says that every device inside a company, family, enterprise etc has to be available and reachable by anyone on the planet in a bidirectional fashion as far as session initiation is concerned? Once you add that bit of reality to it, the scaling requirement goes down substantially. Wouldn't you agree? Trust me, I would like to just see us get it over with as far as IPv6 is concerned, provided we have a working, palatable IPv6 mh solution. But, man, I can't pass the red face test on a lot of these hypothesis.... :( Thanks, Christian The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential, proprietary, and/or privileged material.

What's the problem with independent address space for every entity (company, family, enterprise) which wants it? Big routing tables? Is RT of 1,000,000 routes BIG? I do not think so. Memory is cheap, modern routing schemas like CEF are effective. How many entities do we have on earth? It was a problem, but it IS NOT ANYMORE. IPSec - see all ISAKMP schema and IPSEC security associations, and see IPSec incompatibilities. Compare with SSL (works out-of-the-box in 99.999% cases, and allows both, full and hard security with root certificates etc, or simple security based on _ok, I trust you first time, then we can work_. Why MS uses PPTP? Because it is much more practuical vs IPSec. IPv4 was strong because it was designed by practical people and not so much by commiteets., IPv6 was designed by commiteets mainly. Do you know, that 'camel is horse designed by commiteet'? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mohacsi Janos" <mohacsi(a)niif.hu> To: "Alexei Roudnev" <alex(a)relcom.net> Cc: "Daniel Golding" <dgolding(a)burtongroup.com>; "Scott McGrath" <mcgrath(a)fas.harvard.edu>; "David Conrad" <david.conrad(a)nominum.com>; <nanog(a)merit.edu> Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2005 1:08 AM Subject: Re: OMB: IPv6 by June 2008 > > > > > On Wed, 6 Jul 2005, Alexei Roudnev wrote: > > > > > IPv6 is an excellent example of _second system_ (do you remember book, > > written by Brooks many years ago?)

FW: Request for Peering with AS4788 at Equinix SJO/ASH/LA
by Jason Sloderbeck 07 Jul '05

07 Jul '05

We are peered with Equinix Direct and Internap in San Jose and have received a couple solicitations from random companies to peer, though we're not a provider of transit. I have no desire to find new peers, so I'm not considering the offer below -- just wondering if this is a red flag that's worth passing on. I am skeptical, but I suppose this could be harmless. FWIW, I've seen AS4788 on old CIDR reports under "Possible Bogus Routes": http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/routing-wg/2003/msg00146.htm l -Jason -- Jason Sloderbeck Positive Networks jason(a)positivenetworks.net ________________________________ From: Muhawira Muhamed [mailto:muhawira@tm.net.my] Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 9:38 PM To: ipadmin(a)positivenetworks.net Subject: Request for Peering with AS4788 at Equinix SJO/ASH/LA Dear Peering Admin, We are TMNet(AS4788) and would like to peer with you on EQUINIX/PAIX.

But, you think the majority of employers feel warm and fuzzy about this...? I would say the answer is a violent "hell no"...
