Quite the contrary, I think responses like these should be posted on Nanog, for the benefit of all the customers of Qwest who would like to be aware of your true service quality. These issues are important to those of us who have to deal with your sales guys and particularly to keep them honest. I am entitled to my opinion, and so are you; But your's might be influenced by your employer(: Ravi -----Original Message----- From: Mohamed Hirse [mailto:madlion@justin.net] Sent: Friday, August 20, 1999 10:53 AM To: Brian Tackett; mikeh(a)earthweb.com Cc: nanog(a)merit.edu Subject: Re: Tech contact for Qwest? Brian & Mike, I'm sorry your service needs were not met. In the future please feel free to escalate your problems to senior engineers within Qwest IP Operations.

ISP billing and accounting software
by Hank Nussbacher 20 Aug '99

20 Aug '99

I think this is related to NANOG. I hope :-) I am looking for ISP software that handles billing and accounting. It has to tie in to web servers (how much space the customer uses); to the mail server (how much disk space is used); to Radius for how long a user is logged in (or how much data the customer has sent/received); maybe even poll cable/ADSL modems for inoctets and outoctets; be customizable; have many APIs to push the data to external programs; SQL based; etc. Any resource a customer uses has to be accountable and billable. We all have programs like bind, inn, sendmail, apache, squid, etc but I have yet to see a freeware or commercial program that does all the functions above. Please send me URLs to prove me wrong :-) Thanks, Hank

Greetings. I am looking for IP address utilization software for the following purpose: I work for a very large company with lots of facilities and offices. Our group needs to reclaim the space that was previously allocated before the days of VLSM. For example: facility allocated 172.28.32/19 . I want to be able to find out how much that facility is utilizing. thanks, tim

snmpstat monitor ver. 1.2.e - see http://noc.bn.ru/~alex/MON
by Alex P. Rudnev 18 Aug '99

18 Aug '99

I completed, as promised, the work of collecting distribution pack for the snmpstat monitor (version 1.2.e, where 'e' means _english menu available_). The system was tested for the FreeBSD and Solarys 2.6, but I believe it can work fine on any Unix where CMU SNMP library can be translated. This pack include: - the russion and english dicumentation; - the installation pack (tested for the fixed /p/stat and user: monitor group: monitor configs but theoretically allowing to use any location and user), including snmpstatd daemon, WWW interface to the monitoring system, LINKS data base and WWW interface for it, and (in addition) modems_poll monitor (withouth any WARRANTIES and docs). This (1.2) is SHAREWARE software - we ask you to contact us in case this appear to be usefull for your market or provision work, if you are the commercial company. I can't promise the next (with the object priorities, snmp polling of the modems, service monitoring etc) version should be just as free as this one, but it should not bee 100% commercial anyway.

At about 9:30 UTC h.root-servers.net was returning NXDOMAIN for most though not all .com domains. For example, amazon.com and netsol.com were broken. msrl.com worked, but all of its nameservers are in .net; ibm.com worked, but all of its nameservers are within ibm.com and are covered by glue records. The pattern seemed to be that any domain with all of its nameservers in .com but outside of its own zone would fail to resolve from h.root-servers.net. I only tried about a dozen domains so the actual pattern may have been different. I sent a mail this morning to hostmaster(a)internic.net (with no response of course, but that's the SOA contact for .) and cc'd to nanog (but I had neglected to subscribe to nanog-post). It's interesting that there was no mention of this outage, which caused hard mail bounces and other problems. -- Shields.
