Ever taken a look at the iepg web page?
If there were to be a www.nanog.org, it should have snapshots of important messages in the nanog list, like
Thu Apr 4 01:05:15 MST 1996 Sprint feeds routes to RA for statistical reasons. see URL... ya da ya da ya da
Maybe a couple of help documents:
- Safety tips for peering at exchanges a) how to build a filter list that won't hose everyone else b) why you should use dampening c) don't forget to passive-interface your interfaces...OSPF neighbors across an exchange are bad...
- NO's guide. a) how to tune performance on 7000 series routers b) how important is the RADB? The RS? c) sample routing policies currently in use and implementation pointers d) what can I do to help with the growth of the routing table?
- vendor specific gotchas a) Cisco bugs that will bite you in the ass every time b) Bay Network trials and tribulations c) gated; it looks like I could compile this config file.
- new technologies a) caching with harvest/NS/cern; shoud I bother b) ATM/packet shredding; what's the word? c) muxing? SONET? what next?
- Useful URL's
so on and so forth.
Sure, it sounds like a good topic for a book, too....but these are the operational issues which get discussed (for the most part) on this list, and a web page should represent that.
