I am happy with my heathen ways and don't wish this new religion thrust down my throat. Of course many people I know of who have left IPv4, looked at your IPv8 and decided that it is flawed and moved on.. to IPv10. In fact there are commercial implementations of this code base now from a large number of vendors. Yup, IPX is the wave of the future.... :) -- --bill

Re: Canadian routes with BGP no-export communities
by Sean Donelan 07 Jun '96

>Since the prefix originator is the one who's routing >is breaking, and if they can just register in the RADB to >fix things, I don't really see a problem. That statement isn't true in this case. The more specific networks are registered in the IRR, but what people do and what's in the IRR aren't always related. $ whois -h whois.ra.net 198.53.145 RADB: AS1800, the Sprint 192/2 "default" route object ANS: AS2493, a route object for the specific network with a community ANSIGPONLY AS5765, a route object for the specific network MCI: AS2493, a route object for the specific network AS5765, a route object for the specific network DRA has offices in Canada, so I try to keep up with what's happening with the Canadian networks. I must have missed the announcement about IStar's plans. Since the BGP no-export moves the affect/effect of a broken announcement two AS's away, this might be a good time to bring up the transitive nature of inter-provider NOC communications. What's the value of paying a backbone NOC if the trouble tickets get closed with "not our problem, call A->B->C's NOC yourself." -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representation

MAE-West is up again
by Jake Khuon 07 Jun '96

07 Jun '96

The RS2 machine at MAE-West is once again up. The second machine should be up as well sometime next week. There is still plenty of cleanup to be done and disruptions of service may occur although I will do my best to make sure that does not happen. I would like to personally thank Lance Tatman at NASA, Louis Bamberger and the folks at Sun, and all the rest of those who stayed up through the night for their help in this ordeal. If there are any problems or questions, please feel free to page me at 1-800-635-1868. -- /*====================[ Jake Khuon <khuon(a)Merit.Net> ]=====================+ | Systems Research Programmer, IE Group /| /|[~|)|~|~ N E T W O R K | | Vox: (313) 763-4907 Fax: (313) 747-3185 / |/ |[_|\| | Incorporated | +==[ Suite C2122, Bldg. 1 4251 Plymouth Rd.

Has anybody else noticed the fact that SURAnet seems to be advertising a whole bunch of /24s inside of 128.167.0.0/16?
