From the Nanog website: ".....Establish a forum for the exchange of technical information"
I agree that we should use restraint with posts like "my line is up" and "my line is down". This however, IS the place to discuss routers and switches and software pertinant to our everyday practices. Don't get me wrong, I still love to find out that a provider of mine is having trouble on the west coast long before their call center has gotten word of it. mike Michael Heller Sr. Systems Engineer Earthweb, Inc. 212.448.4175 mikeh@earthweb.com On Mon, 9 Aug 1999, Forrest W.

I do not believe NANOG is appropriate for real time operational issues.
Let me see here .... What Can we not do on nanog:
We can't talk about cisco configuration issues as they are discussed on cisco-nsp or something like that.
We can't talk about Routing Protocols - they belong on some other list somewhere.
We can not talk about outages affecting most all of our customers - as this isn't the appropriate forum.
I could go on and on and on....
Is there ANY topic which is ok to discuss on the nanog list?
