The Cidr Report
by Tony Bates 15 Oct '99

15 Oct '99

This is an auto-generated mail on Fri Oct 15 12:00:00 PDT 1999 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is possible even larger reduction should be possible. 2) Weekly Delta A summary of the last weeks changes in terms of withdrawn and added routes.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.

october 16th is the first anniversary of the death of jon postel. while it might be tempting to shut the net off for an hour in memoriam, it does not seem very responsible. i intend to shut down my personal home/office site and all servers there for the day. others may have their own ways of expressing respect and regret. randy

Advantis/IBM/AT&T Contact Needed

Does anyone have a valid contact for a person possessing clue within Advantis (which I guess was recently sold to AT&T)? I need to talk to someone about what appears to be a horribly misconfigured caching proxy. D

BTW, the vast majority of SONET/SDH equipments achieve sub-50ms path protection switching. (Requirement in BellCore/Telcordia states that SONET equipment must detect a failure within 10ms and perform protection switching in no more than 50ms.) Also, the mechanisms by which fast restoral happens in MPLS are usually tied to SONET/SDH signals like:LOS (Loss Of Signal) and SD/SF (Signal Degrade/Signal Fail). cheers. jld.

This was dumb. I meant, ala IP/MPLS/HDLC or IP/MPLS/PPP. A couple of folks mailed me to state that MPLS as a transport technology was in the future, isn't it? In fact, 2 networks including our own have deployed large [mostly ubiquitous] MPLS deployments, where most traffic runs on it, one all over, another in certain regions/areas. Finally, I was 'reminded' that MPLS convergence will actually surpass SONET w/ restoral times, on the order of << 50 ms. Really real soon now. -alan

My guess would be that the most commonly used RADIUS servers are all derived from the original Livingston implementation (even of the so-called "proprietary" versions). The one I've settled on using everywhere is a derivative by Cistron: http://miquels.www.cistron.nl/radius/ It seems this will eventually transform itself into FreeRADIUS: http://www.freeradius.org/ -- Greg A.

Route miles can be much greater and can involve trips to geosynchronous orbit... -- Shields.
