That is a *very* cool spec. Do you know if any cable equipment implements it yet (Motorola I assume?) From my packet sniffing, I don't think the DOCSIS 1.0 and 1.1 gear we use implements RFC3046 yet. >From a casual skim RFC3046, "DHCP Relay Agent Information Option", looks like a great idea that would solve many of the problems mentioned in this thread. Rather than ask the customer for their MACs, it would be possible to monitor DHCP packets and populate a database from the Relay information. I am not involved in the DOCSIS standards process, but future DOCSIS specs should require RFC3046. Since Motorola is a major player in cable modems, I bet RFC3046 will make it into future standards. Thanks Ted, I appreciate the pointers. I will lobby to try to make the above happen. This is the Internet at its best. regards, fletcher

Open Peers at PAIX
by Pete Ashdown 28 Jun '01

28 Jun '01

What follows is a list I compiled of organizations at PAIX who peer without restrictions. Restrictions are "requirements" like nationwide or international OC-48 backbone, 45Mbit minimum traffic, four geographically disparate peering locations, bicoastal peering, and a standing seat on the Trilateral Commission. These restrictions are impossible for a small network like my own to fill. Usually by the time I am financially able to meet these restrictions, new ones have been crafted in their place. This list was compiled after an exaustive attempt to contact and peer with everyone participating at PAIX. The PAIX organization is unable to compile such a list, as it would violate their neutrality. I, however, am interested in peering with anyone and anything at PAIX, and I would presume that most networks who have made an investment to get there, would actually want to utilize their equipment. Without rehashing the endless debate on open peering, I believe it is more productive to promote the networks who are open peers, so time is not wasted filling out NDA's and applications only to be told, "No." I have only listed participants who are actively peering with me now. Several are still awaiting equipment and transit and have reacted positively to my requests. Also, I have not listed a particular network whom with I have peered for over two years. They have decided to place a "bicoastal restriction" on peering, and they are actually going through and depeering with former peers. This hasn't happened to me yet, but I'd imagine after this email, they'll accelerate their isolation. If anyone has any corrections or additions to this list, please email them to me directly. I will send this list to NANOG periodically unless there are major objections.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Jim, Agreed, so throw the bad route to the bit bucket and leave the bgp session open, or at the very least (as others have suggested) give me an OPTION to do that. Bad enough we were only operating at 33% capacity, however, if we only had transit from the 4 that were giving us the bad route, we would have lost connectivity totally. While it would've been really cool to post an outage notification bragging about our RFC compliance, and how it's everybody elses fault, I (personally) would have preferred to stay connected to the internet and not be losing revenue.

We're headquartered in Lakewood with some branches up in the mountains. They were unreachable for several hours. The really annoying part of this was that not only did our main frame relay circuits go down, our DSL backup circuits died, too! I hate when that happens...

OT: Useful PDA software
by Frank T. Suraci 27 Jun '01

27 Jun '01

Hello all, I'm new to NANOG, and I'm just getting started in the field. My question is simple, can anyone recommend some good software for my handspring Visor? I was hoping to find sw that could keep track of networks, time spent on projects, and well anything that the pros find useful. Any input is much appreciated. Please repley off list as I don't want to add more OT clutter to the list. Thanks Frank S. ftsuraci(a)hcrn.com
