For a little simpler architecture MetaIP from MetaInfo is worth a look. We handle DNS, DHCP, DDNS, and run on NT. http://www.metainfo.com/products/metaip/index.htm Pay close attention to the price.

Note the 172.16.2.174 address in there... Last I remembered, that was part of IANA-BBLK-RESERVED. Is @home lacking for IP space? I only found the 24.0.0.0-24.5.255.255 group in ARIN's database, above the exchange point addresses listed below with .home.net in their PTR entry...

The Cidr Report
by Tony Bates 13 Mar '98

13 Mar '98

This is an auto-generated mail on Fri Mar 13 12:00:00 PST 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is possible even larger reduction should be possible. 2) Weekly Delta A summary of the last weeks changes in terms of withdrawn and added routes.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.

Updated I-D on multihoming
by Howard C. Berkowitz 13 Mar '98

13 Mar '98

An updated version of the Internet-Draft from which I drew my Albuquerque presentation on multihoming is now online. ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-berkowitz-multirqmt-01.txt I did need to get it in by the deadline, so there's more to be added, especially in the DNS and application cache area. Comments more than welcome, especially from people's work I drew from but want to include in more detail: Avi Freedman, Paul Ferguson & Geoff Huston, and Alec Peterson! FYI, I also have an I-D on OSPF deployment which hasn't officially been posted, but will be: ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-berkowitz-ospfdeploy.txt

I use Excel as well to maintain IP space. Yes, I take a ton-O-Dogging from the MS basher crowd. But, I have yet to see a computer program able to completely allocate IP space with out leaving huge holes in blocks. I wonder... ARIN obviously has the largest chunk of space to manage. how are they doing it? Oh, and a side note for the database flag bearers. Databases, don't help much, as they tend to hide the view. Allocation of IP space is akin to creation of jigsaw puzzles, that you received completed intact and must cut to pieces and reassemble to look like the original with a little loss as possible. Databases are great methods to make allocation information available to others for digestion. But do little to aid in the allocation process, like helping determine what size block is available for specific customer. So, it's Excel..... Indefinitely.... sigh.... > At 03:16 PM 3/12/98 -0500, you wrote: > > > >Are any of you using software that you would recommend for large-scale > >management of IP space across AS', subnets from /16 to /32, > >differentiating IP blocks from IP hosts? > > > >Would love to hear from you if you do! > > > >Mike. > > Excel !...hehe, I would (obviously) also love to hear if somebody is using > something better, that is commercially available.

Check out NetID at http://www.baynetworks.com/Products/nav/f_netid_3_0.html. It's an enterprise IP address, DNS and DHCP management product. Has added functionality for VLSM design - recursively partitions networks and automatically calculates subnet masks.

UUnet outage in San Diego
by Josh Beck 13 Mar '98

13 Mar '98

UUnet's San Diego POP has been having performance problems for three weeks now and starting early yesterday things seriously got bad. There is basically no usable connectivity out of San Diego, and UUnet doesn't even have a ETA for a fix! I apologize for using this forum, but if you are a UUnet customer in San Diego and are having this problem, and would like to try to put pressure on UUnet to fix it, please contact us (noc(a)connectnet.com) for contact information for the people at UUnet we've been able to complain to, and with any information or contact information you may have. If someone from UUnet is reading this who thinks they may actually be able to do something about getting it resolved in a timely manner (we certainly haven't been able to find anyone, and we've spoken to a LOT of people), please contact us or do something about this! No matter what the issue is (we've heard about 9 different stories now ranging from bad HSSI cards to "router problems" to "capacity problems"), it is unacceptable that they've been deaf to trouble tickets this whole time and even after they see their own network break don't know when they'll be able to fix it.
