Actually, I have to admit, the following was my favorite line, considering the copyright at the end of the article.... Quotes from the article follow: CMP Media's Prinz said his operation uses "Bay Networks' routers, and we have no issues with them. In fact, they don't have such a thing as a withdraw announcement." "Copyright (r) 1997 CMP Media Inc." <------ quote, and not a copyright on this mail. Chris A. Icide Nap.Net

E.E. Times?
by Hank Nussbacher 13 Jan '97

13 Jan '97

Has anyone heard of E.E. Times that did a piece on the Internet and blamed Cisco routers for all the bottlenecks? They quote www.ra.net/statistics and www.academ.com/nanog as well as Craig Lebowitz and Fred Baker. I have a locally translated copy but I would be interested in seeing the original. Thanks, Hank

Internic registries
by jordy 12 Jan '97

12 Jan '97

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I was doing some maintanace on some of my domains a few days back and decided to update my Internic contact information. Low and behold I found that the company field in the whois query was wrong. I did a whois on a few other internic handles I know and it looks as if they are wrong as well. I thought at first that maybe someone changed my Internic contact registration (which is why I'm sending my PGP key to them right now), but the last update time is months ago, and I'm sure I would have noticed it before now. So did Internic's whois server break? Or did their registery get corrupt? - -- Jordan Mendelson : www.wserv.com/~jordy Web Services, Inc. : www.wserv.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBMtfN2hA7rx9toVxZAQFz+AP8Cy2WMeemqq7utDt2OIFWEI/ZLSs+VlRI JZsRGPQjHcrz2yHSXeWvg24SKBRlgy2O7OTRMclZaEAmsOTfA4fIAoR5cT5uXcyK Oo7fz0Xwt+sXvGrc4SFjiJyHMBAc71ohakhFVDafqyWipjb+04HCV7VN5zk7TgKV xsVnGzgx+SA= =tuPj -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I reported it to action(a)internic.net yesterday morning, at which time it had already been going on for at least a day. Then again, since I've long been convinced my mail to InterNIC is just plain blackholed anyway (based on a response rate of exactly 0% to date), I don't know why I thought that one would have been treated any differently.

I sure hope it isn't spreading. I can remember mine being messed up about six months ago?, around the time they implemeted the "guardian", however, my handle is okay at the present.

SL-POP-ROUTER is kindof Sprint specific, others have other ideas on how to name routers, how about this; router-slot#-port#[-port#][-ts#-#][-dlci#].europa.net Where "router" is something that is syntactically correct. A cisco with a VIP in slot 0 and a hssi in PA-slot 1 with a HSSI port in 0 would be; peter-bath-room-slot0-port1-port0.europa.net Ts for timeslots on a chanalized card Dlci for a flame-delay circiut ATM? X.25? SMDS? > But instead of h0/0, use h0-0; s2-6; etc...
