The Cidr Report
by Tony Bates 24 Apr '98

24 Apr '98

This is an auto-generated mail on Fri Apr 24 12:00:00 PDT 1998 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is possible even larger reduction should be possible. 2) Weekly Delta A summary of the last weeks changes in terms of withdrawn and added routes.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.

I believe that we have been doing traffic shapping for Bay's Centillion over OC3 interface for a while. Our Yurie switch can shape to satisfy all normal public ATM network requirement. The Yurie switch is also used in the Splitrock network and you can get service from them without shapping your output. Their Yurie switch will provide all buffering and necessary shapping.

cflowd - works?
by Leigh Porter 24 Apr '98

24 Apr '98

Hiya, Thanks to the folks who posted the cflowd data, and to the anonymous scripter :) After getting cflowd to compile on a Linux box, it starts fine and two processes appear, bound to UDP port 2055 - seems OK. Some files are created in /var/tmp (I left the default on for now!) and all seems OK. But no data is collected.. I assume all that is required on the router is: ip flow-export 10.45.16.92 2055 An strace ran on the cflowd process shows it just waiting for select calls to timeout on both processes. Looks like the router is not sending anything out, it's running 11.2(9)P on a 7507 with 96Mb memory. Does the Cisco require any special software for this? Regards, -- Leigh Porter

Perhaps he was mis-spoken... I got ahold of someone internal to Cisco who faxed me a bit more information (summarized below:) similar to the PA-H supports speeds up to 45Mbps requires IOS 11.3.(3)T or later supported on 3620 and 3640 support for 2600 "not planned" So..either the document I received was in error, or all the "heads" aren't talking.
