DNS for interfaces & PPPoE Time Burst
Greetings- Two things - Is there a standard for the DNS hostnames of router interfaces (i.e. PtP.origin.destination.bandwidth.layer2.domain) and Is anyone doing traffic shaping on PPPoE circuits so that you can set a variable burst over time? The goal would be to make it commercially invalid to run a 'web' or other server on the end of a 'residential' grade xDSL circuit. Filtering is not an option seeing as everyone wants their personal web server and dialpad to work. But if after 30 seconds of burst to 320K up I shape that PPPoE circuit down to 16K, you wont want to host your Mp3 server. Ideas?

We use <routername>-<interface>.<site>.bbc.co.uk e.g. rt0-POS-7-0.thny.bbc.co.uk Others prefer to brag about the fact that they have a 2Mbit PVC on an OC192 fibre and put the fibre bandwidth in the name too. I don't see that this achieves anything other than other network operators looking at it and thinking "Yeah, right..."
