Dialup congestion and winter weather (fwd)
by multics＠ruserved.com 29 Dec '00

29 Dec '00

An important question to ask people reporting this type of problem is are they getitng a normal busy (all modems busy) or a fast busy (telco out of circuits). Two very different problems. An ISP can work on fixing the first, but the second is a telco with a shortage of circuits between the customer and the isp. > It seems like a lot of people are at home, dialing into the Internet > today.

RFC1918 addresses to permit in for VPN?
by Miguel A.L. Paraz 29 Dec '00

29 Dec '00

Our DSUA filter had to have a small hole punched in since a customer had a VPN (I do not know yet as to what kind) which was receiving packets sourced at 172.17.x.x. Is this a misconfiguration on the sender's end, or a "feature." I think there was earlier discussion on VPN's requiring ICMP (echo?) -- http://www.internet.org.ph Internet and ISP's in the Philippines http://www.ASARproject.org Artists for Social Action and Response GSM Mobile: +63-917-810-9728

Pagenet SMTP problems
by Ken Fischer 28 Dec '00

FYI, Pagenet is having major issues with their inbound SMTP paging relays today. This doesn't seem to be affecting TAP paging at this point, only direct SMTP to ____(a)pagenetmessage.net. Their ticket number is 00338308. -- Ken Fischer, CCNA <kenf(a)junebug.org> PGP Fingerprint: 9523 54B6 D67B BBFB 53B3 2F3B 7E81 0891 C495 CB50

San Jose power outage
by Sean Donelan 27 Dec '00

27 Dec '00

Murphy's back. I returned to the San Jose area after the chrismas holidays. I flew into the San Jose airport. Pacific Gas & Electric, the electric utility serving San Jose and the airport, lost a high-voltage power line about 6:40pm. The emergency generator serving one of the terminals as the airport failed to start. Power was restored about two hours later. As far as I know, none of the ISPs or colocation providers in San Jose were affected. There are also two major winter storms disrupting utilities through the Midwest. At least 200,000 subscribers were without power in various midwestern states.

Portions of Telcordia's standards have been incorporated into ANSI industry consensus standards. One problem with NEBS is acceptance criteria can vary from company to company. Its not like a UL label which everyone accepts, one carrier may look at the NEBS test results and accept the equipment. Another carrier may look at the same NEBS test results and reject it.

Yes, there are thousands of standards regarding POP construction and POP equipment installation. There are lots of standards bodies who publish standards, although many good ones are still proprietary. You need to be a bit more specific. See ANSI, ATIS, Bellcore(telcordia), ETSI, Factory Mutual, ICBO, MIL-STD, MIL-HDBK and UL to get you started. A major public or university library can help you with your research needs.
