I was wondering if someone who knew something about the current status of the group(s) that were working on a standard data collection format for exchange point statistics, could speak up. It seems to me that operators could still get valuable trend information out of published data from exchange points. However this data would be more useful if compared accross multiple exchange point, as there are at least 40 in north america alone. (Although most of those are smaller exchange points.) (Then if we could just get providers to publish info on private exchange points...) --- Jeremy Porter, Freeside Communications, Inc. jerry@fc.net PO BOX 80315 Austin, Tx 78708 | 1-800-968-8750 | 512-458-9810 http://www.fc.net

Bill Woodcock and KC were movers/shakers behind that movement. Randy Bush also contributed some w/ this queries on measurement/mgmt on the nanog list a couple months back. Many of the smaller exchanges that I am aware of put up a mgmt station and collect mrtg data off the attached interfaces of the participants. A smaller group use rtfm and even less use the NLANR tools (OC3mon et.al.) I expect that there is a significant use fo cflowd data by ISPs that attach to exchanges, but I don't expect it to be published outside a need-to-know scope. -- --bill

This is slight tangent to above but please allow me, Is there any proposed "standard" using which data could be *collected* from different vendor routers, something similar to Cisco's netflow? Does anybody know if other vendors support things similar to Cisco's netflow for stat collection? /Subodh Nijsure (subodh@best.com)

rtfm is moving through the IETF. there is the OPSTATs work which attempted to describe what should be collected. de facto standards are RTFM and the NLANR/CAIDA stuff. -- --bill
