We are researchers in HP Labs and Duke university. We are currently working on a project related to Middlebox modeling and troubleshooting. We are currently conducting a survey and gathering feedback from operators. Can you help us by providing some answers? Please feel free to email us if you have any additional suggestions. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5SFP6G8
Hello, I would offer two suggestions: First, we heard you the first time. One post was acceptable. Twice was forgivable. This is the fourth time you've posted this exact same message to the NANOG list. Please stop spamming. Second, the people one this mailing list are here for their interest in Internet backbone networks... where stateful middleboxes can't possibly keep up and thus are not generally used. Most of us operate ancillary networks where we use middleboxes of one kind or another but if you're trying to understand middleboxes on the backbone, responses littered with that data won't help you. And if you're trying to understand middleboxes on Internet networks in general, you'll get badly skewed results by only asking here. We are in no respect a representative population.
