One might notice that these words were written in an RFC. Not in a law book. They have all of the legal weight of a Jim Flem-o-gram. Tony

fiber cut in GTE?
by Jeff Mcadams 05 Oct '98

05 Oct '98

I have a T3 circuit with UU.Net that is carried through 6 telephone companies (nightmare story of a turnup omitted). It's currently down and we're accessing the 'net through alternate connections. This circuit is long-haul carried by GTE, and the word I am recieving via UU.Net from WorldCom is that they suspect a fiber cut...most likely in GTE. That's about the limit of the information I have...anyone have any more knowledge about any of this? -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm(a)iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456

How many ASs are out there?
by Alejandro Avella 05 Oct '98

05 Oct '98

Hi, Can anyone tell me how many AS are as October of 1998. I know there were around 700 registered ASs in the Internet at the beginning of 1994. [pag 178 of Huitema-93] Is there a web page with that Information? Thanks, Alejandro [Huitema-93] Huitema, Christian Routing in the Internet, Prentice Hall, 1993, ISBN 0-13-132192-7

Are all these "active"? I know sometimes in this business that mergers and other consolidations cause one company or organization to "fold" more than one autonomous system into a single autonomous system. Is there any way to trace which AS #'s are dormant, retired, no longer in use, etc.? Or is this basically unknowable?

Exodus Spam (some comments)
by chrism＠postino.raremedium.com 05 Oct '98

05 Oct '98

Since I was one of the folks spammed (and the person who's email Adam Rothschild quoted), I thought I'd add my 2 cents to the discussion. Firstly, the spam was sent to one of my previous email addresses, ritz(a)new-york.net, a regional leased line provider I used to work for. Word has it that the idio...er..miguided individual had "heard New York Net was interested in purchasing services from Exodus" or somesuch. That is patently false. New York Net has it's own colocation space at some of the more well known colo facilities in New York City and environs. Secondly, in my original complaint to Exodus I cc:ed Ellen Hancock, their CEO. She responded a few days later with an "oops". I found this to be rather extraordinary since my current employer is a customer of Exodus and we've had ZERO luck getting her to respond to us in the past when we've had serious performance issues with their Network. I mean dead silence (though we did get some verbal satisfaction and some small improvements by talking to their regional sales folks after a month of bitching). When I pointed out this irony to Ellen, I got: "well, the problem may be our email system..i do have quite a few emails on my input queue..but none from you...i do try to respond quickly to customers..most of them seem to appreciate that.." I found it even more ironic that a company specializing in being a high tech home for colocation customers would say such a silly thing so I sent her another email suggesting she bark at her admins. I also noted that I was being put in a position where I had to start evaluating other colocation vendors due to the rather poor network performance we sometimes experience with Exodus. That generated yet another email from Ellen within an hour in which she just cc'ed me in a terse note to some subordinate asking them to "look into this situation." I haven't heard a peep since. If it sounds like I'm not a happy Exodus customer...well....I'm not. Regards, Chris -- Chris Mauritz Technical Manager, Systems Administration Rare Medium, Inc. chrism(a)raremedium.com

Network Traffic
by danh＠comm.mot.com 04 Oct '98

04 Oct '98

Greetings, Scenario 1: Host A,B: Solaris 2.6, Informix 7.24 Engine. Router 1, 2, 3, 4 : Cisco routers 4700 and 7200 series. (I hope my drawing is accurate enough). [1] If informix database is on Host B and GUI application, which accesses the informix database on Host A, is on Host B, could we determine the traffic on the LAN that is shared by these two hosts? Without using a network analyzer, could we could run unix commands on Host A or B to determine the traffic on Subnet A? Could we determine how much traffic is dedicated to the GUI application accessing the informix database? Subnet A Subnet F | | | | |----Router 1 |----Router 4 | | | | |----Host A |----Host D | Subnet C Subnet D | | e0 e1 |-WAN-| e1 e0| |----Host B--| | | |--Host C--| | |-Router 2-| |-Router 3-| | | Subnet B Subnet E Scenario 2: Same topology as above, but Host A gets database information from Host C, assuming there exists static routes and IP forwarding information, could we run unix commands to determine traffic on Subnet A, B? Thanks in advance. Pete.
