RE: How to loadshare over many E1 links

Try making the routes across the links doubly-recursive. I don't know how well this works, but it is worth a try. For example: RTRA-Loopback0 IP 10.1.0.1/30 RTRA-Loopback1 IP 10.1.1.1/30 RTRA-Loopback11 IP 10.1.11.1/30 RTRB-Loopback1 IP 10.2.0.2/30 RTRB-Loopback1 IP 10.2.1.2/30 RTRB-Loopback1 IP 10.2.11.2/30 Then route to one loopback over 4-6 E1's and the other over the other 4-6 E1s Then, route the Loopback 11s over the two loopbacks. Again, I don't know if this would work, but it just popped into my head. Example Config RTRA int loopback 0 ip address 10.1.0.1 255.255.255.252 ! int loopback 1 ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.252 ! int loopback 11 ip address 10.1.11.1 255.255.255.252 ! int s0 ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.252 ! int s1 ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.252 ! <snip> int s11 ip address 192.168.11.1 255.255.255.252 <snip> ! The first 6 E1s ip route 10.2.0.0 255.255.255.252 192.168.0.2 ip route 10.2.0.0 255.255.255.252 192.168.1.2 ip route 10.2.0.0 255.255.255.252 192.168.2.2 ip route 10.2.0.0 255.255.255.252 192.168.3.2 ip route 10.2.0.0 255.255.255.252 192.168.4.2 ip route 10.2.0.0 255.255.255.252 192.168.5.2 ! The other E1s ip route 10.2.1.0 255.255.255.252 192.168.10.2 ip route 10.2.1.0 255.255.255.252 192.168.11.2 ip route 10.2.1.0 255.255.255.252 192.168.12.2 ip route 10.2.1.0 255.255.255.252 192.168.13.2 ip route 10.2.1.0 255.255.255.252 192.168.14.2 ip route 10.2.1.0 255.255.255.252 192.168.15.2 ! ip route 10.2.11.0 255.255.255.252 10.2.0.2 ip route 10.2.11.0 255.255.255.252 10.2.1.2 ! ip route 172.16.16.0 255.240.0.0 null 0 ! router bgp 65555 neighbor 10.2.11.2 remote-as 65554 network 172.16.16.0 mask 255.240.0.0 Of course, you may have to process-switch the packets, or use CEF, which you mentioned. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Jesper Skriver [mailto:jesper@skriver.dk] > Sent: Friday, September 18, 1998 3:57 AM > To: nanog(a)merit.edu > Cc: tdk-backbone(a)t.dk > Subject: How to loadshare over many E1 links > > > Hi, > > How would you loadshare over many (>6) parallel E1 links.

what's channellized E1?
by Yu Ning 18 Sep '98

Hi friends, A very very basic question: What does "channellized E1" mean? What's its difference from a "normal" E1 connection? reply to my mail box, if you think such message is too basic posting on nanog, thanks. regards, Yu Ning -- ___________________________________________* Yu Ning ATM R&D Centre of BUPT (Beijing U. of Posts&Telecom) Beijing (ZIP:100876, MBox:147#), P.R.China Ideas ONLY reflect my own views,:-) ___________________________________________

TLD whois servers
by Rodney Joffe 17 Sep '98

17 Sep '98

We're in the process of putting together a free tools and resources site for general use of this community. Amongst the things we're putting up (ping and traceroute gateways, looking glass machines, etc) is a smart whois front end that will allow a user to enter a domain name with any tld. The problem is that IANA does not currently require a tld manager/administrator to provide the address of their whois server. In some cases, apparently, there may not even be a whois server. Does anyone have a partial list that we can incorporate, or pointers to resources? We hope to have a useful functioning site by NANOG in Atlanta. /rlj
