PPPoE server software?
by Matt Cramer 31 Mar '01

31 Mar '01

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- We are looking to test various DSL modems and routers in our lab, but can't get a DSL connection put in that building according to Verizon. I'd like to simulate one by running my own PPPoE server (my purpose is to test the various SOHO routers on the market, particularly the Linksys and the Cisco). If anyone has any information about doing this, such as pointers to PPPoE server software (I'd prefer to do it with linux or BSD), I would appreciate the info. Thanks, Matt - -- Matthew S.

The Cidr Report
by Tony Bates 31 Mar '01

31 Mar '01

This is an auto-generated mail on Fri Mar 30 23:00:00 PST 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is possible even larger reduction should be possible. 2) Weekly Delta A summary of the last weeks changes in terms of withdrawn and added routes.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.

Lame reverse delegation at Sprint
by John R Levine 31 Mar '01

31 Mar '01

I live on a tiny network at 208.31.42/24, which is SWIP'ed via my ISP to me from Sprint. I do my own reverse DNS. It looks like sometime in the last day or so, Sprint's DNS servers stopped serving 31.208.in-addr.arpa, which of course has broken my reverse DNS. Sprint won't talk to me since I'm not a direct customer, and my ISP has gone home for the weekend. Before I call them at home, if anyone from Sprint is listening, could you make NS[123]-AUTH.SPRINTLINK.NET serve that zone again?

California PUC orders outage notification
by Sean Donelan 31 Mar '01

31 Mar '01

The California Public Utilities Commission has ordered electric utility companies to provide advance notification of rolling blackouts. In the past some utilities have declined to provide advance notice before blackouts, citing security concerns such as the possibility of looting and rioting. The City of San Francisco complained the lack of notice hampered its ability mobolize police and medical workers. No mention how the utilities will actually accomplish this advance notification.

Never before has such a small organization perpetually amused so many. I'd really like the CPUC to explain to both me and the bankruptcy court who's going to pay for that. Regardless, the company has ceased to exist, and the contracts are void. It's over, and some people need to accept it and get on with their lives. --msa

Re: InterNAP
by CARL.P.HIRSCH＠sargentlundy.com 30 Mar '01

I was going to say that much as I love InterNAP, you might want to steer clear of them as their stock is down in deathwatch territory. They've been down around $1.50 a share for a while now... but apparently as of today their stock is up 34%. Something I should know about InterNAP? I interviewed with InterNAP last year. My kung-fu wasn't strong enough (Not enough experience with OC-3s, multiplexing and the like). At least I got a free trip to Seattle! InterNAP has some very talented engineers working for them. I'm hoping they pull through. -carl hirsch network analyst sargent & lundy llc owner-nanog-outgoing @merit.edu AT nxmime To: CARL P HIRSCH/Sargentlundy, nanog(a)merit.edu AT nxmime@SNL-ccmail 03/30/01 04:33 PM cc: Subject: InterNAP Anyone have any comments (good/bad/indifferent) on InterNAP?

Input..
by Matt Levine 30 Mar '01

30 Mar '01

I'm looking at putting together a site to track, report and notify about network maintenance/outages/issues. The goal is to provide a single source of information to help diagnose and track down problems, and will probably include some strategically placed trace gateways. If anybody has any input, I'd appreciate an off-list reply.. Regards, Matt -- Matt Levine <matt(a)deliver3.com> .... "I used to think that the brain was the most wonderful organ in my body.
