Re: Domain names for ISP infrastructure links
So how do we name internal links in a way that is usefull for all operators, and conforms to the A-Z 0-9 and "-" and can be proposed as an RFC?
How about the Sprintlink:
I where not thinking on SL only, I where looking at something more generic.
sl-pop-router#-port[-speed].sprintlink.net
The speed thing is debatable, some people wants it, someone does not, and someone are willing to pay me $50/mont to make DNS say OC3c on their DS0. SL-POP-ROUTER is kindof Sprint specific, others have other ideas on how to name routers, how about this; router-slot#-port#[-port#][-ts#-#][-dlci#].europa.net Where "router" is something that is syntactically correct. A cisco with a VIP in slot 0 and a hssi in PA-slot 1 with a HSSI port in 0 would be; peter-bath-room-slot0-port1-port0.europa.net Ts for timeslots on a chanalized card Dlci for a flame-delay circiut ATM? X.25? SMDS?
But instead of h0/0, use h0-0; s2-6; etc...
Is this actually usefull, the NOC person will be guided to the right box/slot/port and can use other tools to figure out the media type, wich is in my opionion not very usefull to knew.
i.e. icm-petersbathroom-2-s2-1-512.icp.net
Nope, my routers have another naming convention, bathroom is for example, r29a.. --Peter

Not too good either - 1) we are getting dangerously close to the 64-byte limit for DNS labels (we can use [dlci#.][ts#-#.][port#.][port#.][slot#.]router.europa.net though); 2) those with $50/mo might get really paranoid and request that the card/port/slot info wouldn't be there at all, as it betrays that they are not exactly on an OC3c link by the fact that there are too many others on the same card.

Just keep it this way and let NOC people use other tools to figure out what it really means.

Redundancy (akak check digits) are real useful. I'd add the port type to the name. --asp@partan.com (Andrew Partan)
