The Cidr Report
by Tony Bates 14 Apr '01

14 Apr '01

This is an auto-generated mail on Fri Apr 13 23:00:02 PDT 2001 It is not checked before it leaves my workstation. However, hopefully you will find this report interesting and will take the time to look through this to see if you can improve the amount of aggregation you perform. The report is split into sections: 0) General Status List the route table history for the last week, list any possibly bogus routes seen and give some status on ASes. 1) Gains by aggregating at the origin AS level This lists the "Top 30" players who if they decided to aggregate their announced classful prefixes at the origin AS level could make a significant difference in the reduction of the current size of the Internet routing table. This calculation does not take into account the inclusion of holes when forming an aggregate so it is possible even larger reduction should be possible. 2) Weekly Delta A summary of the last weeks changes in terms of withdrawn and added routes. Please note that this is only a snapshot but does give some indication of ASes participating in CIDR. Clearly, it is generally a good thing to see a large amont of withdrawls. 3) Interesting aggregates Interesting here means not an aggregate made as a set of classful routes. Thanks to xara.net for giving me access to their routing tables once a day. Please send any comments about this report directly to me.

> purchase connectivity from them, even if their network didn't suck. What makes you think this? Perhaps you can share your experiences that would substantiate this claim. I have rarely seen cross country RTTs exceed 70 msec (right now it's 58msec from nyc to sfo) and don't recall the last outage they've sustained on an edge router, let alone core disruption. I also hear people discuss their lack of peering, however recent Skitter plots show them sitting pretty close to the origin. Regards, chris

While I agree that the initial message from the Qwest folks was excessively terse, and the final follow-on response at best unprofessional, it certainly wasn't without provocation, IMO.. Likewise, I'd really rather not see a new trend develop here where folks whop some sales droid and then whine to NANOG when they're whopped back. Leave it on inet-access, it doesn't belong here (nor do lots of other things, of course)... As well, having first hand knowledge, I would contend that a number of their networking people indeed "have a quarter of a clue between them", especially when speaking relatively. -danny

I would go with highly unprofessional and very unlikely to motivate me to purchase connectivity from them, even if their network didn't suck. I know engineers and sales people have never gotten along, but perhaps there is a list better suited for clownstamping them and the companies who hire them? Perhaps the entire thread regarding unprofessional comments could go there as well, and to the appropriate HR departments? -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras(a)e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras PGP Key ID: 0x138EA177 (67 29 D7 BC E8 18 3E DA B2 46 B3 D8 14 36 FE B6)

Outage notifications
by Paul Timmins 13 Apr '01

13 Apr '01

Beyond getting on every single ISP's customer notification lists, is there a list that is dedicated to network outages? Or a website? It would be really helpful in my day job :-) Thanks! -Paul
