If you are an operator, would you deploy soBGP or something like it? If not, why not. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/about/ac123/ac147/ac174/ac236/about_cisco_ipj_ar… /vijay

Re: More on Moscow power failure( was RE: Moscow: global power outage)
by Fergie (Paul Ferguson) 28 May '05

More from MosNews: UES Management Faces Criminal Investigation After Moscow Power Cut Russian prosecutors on Wednesday opened a criminal case against the management of power monopoly Unified Energy System (UES) after a major power outage in Moscow, agencies reported Wednesday. The case was opened to investigate possible negligence, the Interfax agency quoted the Prosecutor Generals Office as saying. Under Russian law, prosecutors must formally open a criminal case to allow police fully to investigate the incident. It does not necessarily lead to prosecution, Reuters reports. President Vladimir Putin has already blamed UES Chief Executive Anatoly Chubais for the power cut which left much of the capital without power, saying management had neglected the companys problems to concentrate on a restructuring plan. Chubais, a leading political liberal who is spearheading the reform of the electricity giant, is viewed with suspicion by Kremlin hardliners, Reuters adds. http://mosnews.com/news/2005/05/25/chubaiscriminalcase.shtml - ferg -- Michael.Dillon(a)radianz.com wrote: If you can read Russian, there is a lot more information on the BBC's Russian language page here http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/russian/russia/newsid_4578000/4578219.stm The cascading failure affected Moscow and towns as far as 200km south of the city. 95% of people were evacuated from the Metro by 1pm. They are restoring power in phases, hospitals are expected to be running by 3 pm Moscow time. The outage hit the southern half of Moscow and some parts of the northern half of the city. Many traffic signals were down and militia officers were manually directing traffic. No mention of Internet stuff but they do point out that the space flight centre in Korolev was functioning normally. --Michael Dillon -- "Fergie", a.k.a.

Looking for information about LD regulation
by Dan Lockwood 28 May '05

28 May '05

Apologies if this is too off topic. We (a group of state govt organizations) are working together in a VoIP rollout. Our plan is to use our collective buying power to purchase long distance calls at wholesales rates. One organization in our group is going to be the lead agency and charge back the other participants. There is concern as to the legality of this venture. Can anyone suggest some legal resources where I might educate myself on the issue of "who can 'sell' long distance"? What are the rules that might apply in our situation? Thanks Dan

Few notices about Moscow, M9-IX, and last outage
by Alexei Roudnev 27 May '05

27 May '05

1) M9 have UPS power for a few days. BUT - it is 60V DC power. Only a very few routers or switches are able to use it. 2) Power outages in Moscow data centers are very rare event, because most have 2 - 3 different power inputs. 24 May failure was caused mainly by operator's error, who reconnected power system back after few transformers broke, and caused chained failure. 3) As a result of this (I never saw power failure in Relcom data center for 15 years of working there), generators are not common there. 4) M9-IX is not the only entrance to Moscow, but it was the main entrance. As I know, few other entrance nodes was not affected.

[OT?!?] Good Chinese network peerings and/or Chinese ISPs?!?
by Network Fortius 27 May '05

27 May '05

I apologize if this is not the right forum, but I am grasping at straws, already. I have done thorough (latency) analysis, from various sites and/or providers in China (CNC group, Beijing BII group, Sprintlink Asia Pacific, China United Telecom, Sturhub PTE, Chinanet backone, Sichuan Electric Power <something-or-other>, China Netcom, etc.), and I cannot find anything that would resolve the problem of immense RTT to Europe and USA, compared to any other parts of the world. I fully understand issues revealed here: http://www.spacepirates.com/china/chinanet.jsp in conjunction (perhaps proxy-induced latency ?!?) with these: http://www.opennetinitiative.net/studies/china/ ... but I am just asking if anyone has recommendations of good Internet connectivity from mainland China, to the outside world (perhaps "hoping" through other Asian providers, etc.?!?) ... any other ideas?!? TIA, Stef

F Y I .. CIA Overseeing Three-Day War Game To Mimic Response To Crippling Internet Attack See: http://wwwnl.technologyreview.com/t?ctl=DA2F36:2ECB60C By Ted Bridis May 26, 2005 AP Technology Writer WASHINGTON (AP) -- The CIA is conducting a secretive war game, dubbed "Silent Horizon," this week to practice defending against an electronic assault on the same scale as the Sept. 11 terrorism attacks. The three-day exercise, ending Thursday, was meant to test the ability of government and industry to respond to escalating Internet disruptions over many months, according to participants. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the CIA asked them not to disclose details of the sensitive exercise taking place in Charlottesville, Va., about two hours southwest of Washington.
