RIP and RIPv2, "The glue that makes the internet work"
Latest Linux Mag has this really nice long article about how RIP and its new version RIPv2 is the GLUE that makes the internet work. I almost fell down on that. Oh, wait, I do know a couple of exchange points that wanted to or are running RIP. No REALLY!! jmbrown
Oh come on. Not that this type of crap has any place one NANOG but, I do seem to remember a time not so long ago when a company that started in MD was selling UUCP services at a premium. If the slackers who write for the rag can make a buck, let them. Do you REALLY put any stock in what you read in PRINT? On Tue, 24 Apr 2001, John M . Brown wrote:

All seem to assume I am bashing the authors or the rag. It was ment to bring a slight bit of HUMOR, you know the chuckle needed after a LONG day fighing the BGP monsters. Reflecting back upon a day more peacful, more RIPish. But I guess most are to stressed over the whole tech stock thing to remember what a chuckle is. Oh well. It was closer to operational content than some of the REPLY posts. On Wed, Apr 25, 2001 at 01:39:02AM -0400, John Fraizer wrote:

I apologize, I'm going off topic.

Actually, I put a lot of stock in what I read in print, and I put much greater stock in what I read in print than anything I read on the Internet, mailing lists being one of them. I mean, gee, IEEE, ACM and numerous other scientific magazines and journals of various subjects are all print based. The newspaper one reads usually every day (not counting the tabloids ;-) is print based. Are you saying you don't put a whole lot of stock into them because they are in print? I bet college professors and reporters adore you - their integrity is on the line every time they write an article. Not having read the article in the Linux magazine, I'm fairly sure the person who wrote the article about RIP is being laughed at by many communities outside of NANOG, and his integrity is shot.
