Re: Companies requiring proof of previous salary

2000-10-09 Thread John Hardman

Hi

Then you are truly a good person in your dealings, and commend you for it,
and hope that you can continue to practice business that way.

But you have to admit, that part of your job is to keep costs down, and you
will likely admit that the cost of a resource is a fair amount of a IT
budget these days, so it is to your advantage to get the best possible
people for the least amount of salary and benefits possible. It is quite
likely as a manager that part of your compensation is based on hitting
budget numbers, again there is another strike against "fighting for the
employee".

So the bottom line is that businesses are in business to make money.
Everyone that has financial responsibilities in the business has a
responsibility to drive profit to the highest levels possible. If you don't
the ownership will remove you. It doesn't matter if it is a fortune 500
company that gets killed in the stock market or a small "mom and pop shop",
if you are not making money to the owner's expectations, the ownership will
make the changes it sees fit to make money. So if a business is in the
business of making money then they are not on the side of helping people
make more money, have better benefits, better training, up to the point that
it starts to cost them money.

I once heard a successful business man say to me, while I was working for
him, that "XXX was built on the backs of excellent IT people that were too
stupid to fight for money, and worked for sh$% wages." Why? Because he could
bill them out on contracts for very high rates and pay the employee crap.

Frankly I hear lots of IT people say that it is coming time to have a IT
union, and based on my last ten years of work in IT, I would have to agree.
People are being taken advantage of big time, all of the time. A good
example, a manager recently told me that he would never pay a CCIE $100K/yr,
that it was too much money for the certification, well we all know that is
BS. How about the companies that hire programmers on salary and work them
60-80 hours a week without extra compensation or time off. Or how about the
recent bill in the US that is going to exempt IT professionals from overtime
time pay. Or my friend that works as a desktop tech and is paid $47K/yr by
the job shop, and the contract pays the job shop $108K/yr for him, if a bank
made that much money on a loan, they would be committing a crime,
loansharking. Now just imagine if there was a general strike of IT workers
in the US, the country would grind to a halt in a very short period of time.

One can make the argument that IT people should not work in places that act
like that, but that leaves VERY few places to work for. One could say that
IT people need to stand up for better pay, better benefits, etc, but guess
what a company can hold out MUCH longer than the average person can, which
means IT people end up take jobs that pay less than they should.

Sorry for the ranting and raving, but it really gets my blood boiling when
someone tells me that business is on my side, I know better, I have seen too
much to ever believe that one, it's kind of like finding out there is no
Santa when you are a kid.

You made some excellent points.  I too value a candidates attitiudes as much

Subject: RE: Companies requiring proof of previous salary



I do enough of it to know. I am one of the people doing the filtering and it
is rough sorting them out.

For all of the methods that I have tried to evaluate somebody for a given
position, the least reliable information I can rely on is what the last guy
thought the candidate was worth. If it were right would we be talking in the
first place? When it comes down to money I try to have a picture of what the
candidate can bring to the table versus what we need to meet our objectives
for the task at hand. It's not easy but I personally lean away from specific
skill-sets and salary in favor of attitude, confidence and talent.  Good
people will do well at anything they commit to and are always a bargain at
market prices.

On the business side of it though, I'm worried about the
money/budget/skill-sets etc that make a project tick. Sometimes it is
difficult not to take advantage of the situation to close the gaps in the
budget. In reality that makes it a budget problem which is something else
entirely. As far as salary histories go I feel that the act of requiring the
upper hand in a financial negotiation cuts against the grain of my belief
that good business is mutually beneficial to both parties and is to be
conducted in good faith.

Are all employers against you? I think not. But some are. They are best
avoided.

PIX Question

Hi everyone,

There is a web server on the inside of a firewall that is not implementing 
NAT and the IP address is transparent to the outside world and people 
accessing the server are using the IP address from browsing which is a 
security risk (hole). Authentication is through TACACS+ or application 
server.

What is the way forward on this issue considering that the network is 
isolated from the internal network that has DNS Server, which can resolve 
the IP address to domain name?


Is there a way to specify an alias on the PIX to resolve the IP address to a 
domain name?

Hi,

 In band signalling uses the same channel uses the same channel for
signalling which is used for passing data. For example consider the
ordinary telephone in our daily use. The signal is sent on the same wire
through which we will send the data also.Where as in outof band signalling
we will be using the seperate channel for signalling purpose. Consider for
example ISDN, we will be using seperate D-channel for signalling purpose. 


Hope this helps a little bit.

The keepalive setting on a frame-relay interface determines the LMI interval.
Turning it off stops the router from sending or expecting LMI.

:I believe there is no need to set keepalive as the LMI is taking care of it
:right?

The keepalive of an interface with frame-relay encapsulation _is_ LMI.  

:Correct me if I am wrong

Can you pass traffic over the interface with no keepalive?  No keepalive 
is a means of forcing an interface into an up-up state from the router's 
viewpoint even if the interface may in fact be disconnected.  While this
is useful for test purposes, it doesn't carry any traffic.  While the 
interface shows "line protocol is up" with or without anything plugged in 
it isn't going to move data from point A to point B.  

If it _is_ connected, and the other end also is set to "no keepalive", 
then in most cases you can use it to pass data.  However, this is not 
usually a good idea because the routers will have no means of detecting
a link failure (other than timeouts on a dynamic routing protocol). 

If this frame-relay interface is connected to a real carrier's frame 
switch, then the "no keepalive" will cause the router to stop sending 
LMI, which will cause the carrier's switch to show the link as inactive. 

You may be able to make it work in a lab situation with no keepalive 
on a router configured as a frame switch, but it isn't a good idea. 

As a rule, keepalives are a good thing on an active interface passing 
real-world traffic, and turning them off should not be necessary to
bring the line protocol up.

Re: Companies requiring proof of previous salary

2000-10-09 Thread Robert Padjen

As noted by the others, I would seriously consider
this request under the guise of the company and
position. Unless you have verbally told them your
current salary there is no reason to provide this now
- and if you did provide a verbal on this information
then either they don't believe you or their policy
doesn't believe you. Either way, trust is hard to earn
when it has been lost. With the market s hot right
now, this is too much. BTW - I've turned down two
positions that have asked for too much and NEVER
regreted either choice (one wanted 1040s!)

Good luck.

Re: Bridge Table

2000-10-09 Thread Michael Le

If you're talking about a transparent bridge, then it
builds the table based on the frames it receives. If
the frame comes in on a certain port, it will
associate that MAC with that port. The destination MAC
is compared to the table so it will know where to
send, but it doesn't use the destination MAC to build
the table.
And as with most everything networking, Cisco has this
information on CCO UniverCD.

Re: Companies requiring proof of previous salary

2000-10-09 Thread Michael Le

I strongly disagree with this. Previous salary says a
lot about how valuable your last employer thought you
were to them specifically and how much they felt they
could pay you and still keep you. Almost all employers
would probably counteroffer you if you said you were
going to leave. My last two did, by upwards of 20%.
Does that mean my skill level jumped 20% right after I
decided to leave and they decided they wanted me a
little more?
Why should my new potential employer pay me based on
what someone else thinks I'm worth? Why should they
leave their business decisions up to someone else? My
last company thought of me as a cost center. I was
there to support their network. My new company, where
I am a consultant, bills me out at $200/hr (pays me
nowhere near that much... heheh) and definitely
considers me a profit center. I bring them money and
they in turn think of me as more valuable. Did I jump
skill level from the last day at my last job and the
first day of my new job no. But my value to my
employer did. And that's what counts.

David,

I am able to ping with data size 100 and bit pattern
0x, but when I change the data size to 1500
with bit pattern 0x I cannot ping the destination.
Is this bcause of carrier problem?

Also I am able to ping with data size of 1500 and bit
pattern of 0x.

Thanks for your help.

Another way to look at this issue has been highlighted at the

There have always been discussions in regards to salary; as has
been indicated, many companies want your previous "history" so
that they can be cheap.  


The best method to protect the information is to specify that 
your compensation data is covered under a confidentiality
agreement; usually, any good corporation will recognize that.


Of course, it *is* a good idea to verify this before saying it...

Unless you're dying to have the job, I think you should tell them that you
are not going to tell them how much you're making right now. Like other guys

tells a lot about the potential employer, too.

I don't think the ATM question are anything to worry about, remember you
only need a 70% or so to pass.  I think there was only one ATM related
question on my test.  Know the MLS stuff, that is the main point of the
test!  I used the Karen Webb book and got a good score.

Re: PIX Question

2000-10-09 Thread Rodgers Moore

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do.  It sounds like reverse
dns, but I'm not sure why you'd want to do a reverse fix-up.  Why not just
implement the reverse entry in your DNS server?  and don't worry about the
PIX.

I suspect what you want is: 'www.mydomain.com' to resolve to 12.x.x.x for
the internet (the outside) and 192.168.x.x for your local LAN (the inside).
Check out the ALIAS command.  It is for this exact purpose.

[Fwd: pix netbios resolution]

2000-10-09 Thread waheedf





John

Can u help ?

I have two Windows 98 machines, one on the inside interface and one in
dmz1. How do I workgroup these machines so when i open up network
neighborhood the machines appear in the browse list?

The summary of my request is simply to workgroup two machines across the
Pix firewall using TCP/IP only. I have two conduits that are configured
to allow all TCP and UDP traffic to pass between networks. I can
succesfully ping, http, ftp, telnet between networks but when I attempt
to resolve a NETBIOS name using NBTSTAT (windows Netbios tool) all I get
is 'HOST NOT FOUND'. From this it appears that NETBIOS is not being
broadcast between networks.

What solution is required to allow NETBIOS to propagate correctly?

Is there any IP helper function on the Pix, and if so would this do the
trick?



I look forward to your reply

Kindest Regards

cheers

waheed







PIX Question

2000-10-09 Thread oluwakemi ojo

Hi Everyone,


There is a web server on the inside of a firewall that is not implementing 
NAT and the IP address is transparent to the outside world and people 
accessing the server are using the IP address from browsing which is a 
security risk (hole). Authentication is through TACACS+ or application 
server.

What is the way forward on this issue considering that the network is 
isolated from the internal network that has DNS Server, which can resolve 
the IP address to domain name?


Is there a way to specify an alias on the PIX to resolve the IP address to a 
domain name

ATM question

2000-10-09 Thread Bob Watson

Will the cisco 7206vxr support FRF.5 Frame Relay-ATM Interworking
function, which enables Frame Relay voice or data traffic to be
encapsulated in ATM cells.

If so does this mean I could map Frame pvc's within the atm ds3
interface on the router to talk to frame sites of mine?

On the satellite end will the telco provider give me the frame traffic
in ATM format and simply not de-encapsulate their ATM cells when
distributing traffic to my 7206?

Traffic modeling for design purposes

2000-10-09 Thread jromero

Hi everyone.

Does anybody know an article, whitepaper, book...where I can find traffic 
modeling (for protocol IP mainly) for capacity planning designs? I mean a 
way for designing trunk capacities, known speed access of remote users and 
their connection profile,  just in the same way you can design a voice 
network with an Erlang model.

Thanks a lot.

Re: Companies requiring proof of previous salary

2000-10-09 Thread Ed Moss

Rule 1:  You are only worth what it costs to replace you.
Rule 2:  There is ALWAYS someone willing to do more work for less money.

On applications, it normally asks salary at each position.  I typically list
the range of my present position.  I am normally willing to provide a copy
of my present job description, and the HR document that show the salary
range for the position. (depending on where I am in the scale)

It boils down to the point where your skills are more important to one
employer than another, and that employer is willing to show it.

For me to leave one job and go to another, so same responsibilities and same
pay, there must be something extremely wrong with my present employer.  On
the other hand... moving to a new job often means new responsibilities and
challenges.  If I am happy where I am, the potential employer needs to
provide an incentive for me to leave... and to do that I typically I look
for at least a 10% - 20% jump in pay.

Re: [questions about vines]

2000-10-09 Thread Kevin Wigle

sorry to say to say that you're very wrong...

Banyan Vines has been supported way back to version 10.x and probably
earlier (too lazy to check)

The trick is, your IOS has to run Enterprise to support native Vines.

However, Vines supports encapsulation in IP and therefore both servers and
clients can use IP.  Therefore the much more expensive Enterprise IOS can be
avoided.  However, this also depends on what version of Vines you're
running.

Using Enterprise also has memory requirements for the router as well so if
you can use IP it's better all around. (except maybe the little extra
overhead on the server for encapsulation/de-encapsulation)

Vines and Cisco go back a long long way.

I like _Practical Queueing Analysis_ by Tanner.  There are others, 
but unfortunately I am blanking on the author and title -- something 
like WAN Design Handbook.  Kleinrock, especially Volume II, is the 
classic, although rather dated. Mischa Schwartz is another, as is 
Bertzas & Gallagher.  Spohn's Data Network Design also has material.

  Be aware, however, that connectionless networks do not model as well 
as telephone networks.  Work by Will Leland (Bellcore, Telecordia, 
etc.) showed that Internet traffic distributions are fractal rather 
than the exponential generally assumed.

Depending on what you are trying to do, however, you can simplify a 
packet-carrying to Erlang B if the policy is to drop packets when the 
link is busy, and to Erlang C when there is buffering.  Not the most 
scientific thing in the world, but worthwhile for first 
approximations.

Advise....Should I purchase routers ? How do you study for an exam?

2000-10-09 Thread Ariel

Do you use routers to study as a study tool to pass your CCNP?  Does it help
you?

I am contemplating on purchasing some routers to assist me in passing the
exams and learn the equipment.  My company will not send me to class, but
will pay for my books.  I pasted the CCNA, but I missed the ACRC test by
three questions, now I am gun shy.  Money is an object, I don't have much.
However, I understand it is my future and I should invest in myself.

PLEASE...answer me this... what routers should I purchase, what books would
be valuable to buy, most of all, how do you study?  I need your help.
Please take the time to reply.

Regards.

VPN, BGP & Redundant Network

2000-10-09 Thread John Zaggat

Hi all,
We are trying to add redundancy to our network. There are all sorts of ideas
on the table. One of the ideas is to have each of the remote sites (all 7
sites within US) connect to a local ISP and use VPN when needed to backup
the frame-relay links that are inplace now. We use VPN extensively for our
clients to connect to us now. I am new to BGP, and hence the question: does
BGP play a role in this scenario and more importantly is this solution
possible in your opinion.
Thanks in advance for your help in advance

TCN BPDU confusion

2000-10-09 Thread Rampley, Jim
Title: TCN BPDU confusion






I'm reading the Cisco LAN switching book (great book)!  I've got a question about topology change notification BPDU's.  If you have a port on a switch that is NOT using portfast with say a workstation or server connected.  When that port comes up spanning tree will run.  My question is once it goes into the forwarding state will a TCN BPDU be sent?  There are three rules that say when a TCN BPDU will be sent.  The rule that I think applies is "When a port is put in the forwarding state and the bridge has at least one designated port."

I realize most of the time you would want to use portfast in this situation since you don't want to be running spanning tree while the machine is trying to booting up.  I just didn't realize you would actually be saving traffic on your network and also the effects of having to flush the CAM quicker.  Someone could actually tweak the STP timers down so they wouldn't have to use portfast, but you could have a flood of TCN BPDU's every morning.

is there any product available which does so .. in 3500 or 2900 series ?

RE: Advise....Should I purchase routers ? How do you study for an exam?

2000-10-09 Thread Miller, Nathan (AZ15)

I guess it depends on what you do in your work environment.  If you work
with Cisco routers and switches during the course of your duties I would say
that you should be able to fill in the blanks through book study.  If you do
not get to touch equipment at work you might want to buy a couple of older
(used) Cisco routers, possibly 2500 series.  If you are familiar
(comfortable) with Ethernet look for routers with token ring interfaces and
get a token ring hub (you need to have some understanding of token ring
anyway, and the token ring stuff seems to be quite a bit cheaper given the
lighter demand).  In my opinion a couple of cheap 250Xs with token ring and
BRI interfaces would work great for CCNP study (my guess is that you will
have to buy NT1s for the BRI interfaces).  Just my .02.

It's true! My kids weren't due until January 17th or so, but the came on
Dec. 26th 1998... Twins! Needless to day, I was unavailable to my contract
clients for 2 weeks or so, and this came much sooner than I had warned them
it would.

Nevertheless, if I were a GK manager and an instructor told me that he could
teach a course on week, but his wife was due to deliver the following week,
I would have made the effor to ensure that a backup was available before
signing him to that class. I am not saying the instructor should not have
taken the class (you gotta work when you have mouths to feed), but the
training center should have anticipated the potential for early delivery
when they signed him and acted accordingly.

Now that my kids are here, I am wondering how soon I can start them on their
Cisco training. Not long ago, one of my girls toddled up to me carrying my
"Voice over IP Fundamentals" book from Cisco Press, insisting that I read it
to her. I did. She actually stayed and listened for nearly all of chapter 1.
She can't speak much English yet, so I can't quiz her, but I can tell she
retained some of it 'cause she constanly approaches the phone these days,
which she never did before...

2000-10-09 Thread Ray Mosely

Of course bits occupy line space.  It's called
wavelength.  And bits aren't signalled by
different voltages, in ethernet.  They are
signalled by a voltage change, from -1 to +1
or +1 to -1.  Try doing a web search on Manchester
encoding.

This makes it sound like there is actually something tangible being put on

voltages etc in the line encoding.

Bits do not occupy line space.

Measurements of how fast data can be moved over a wire are the time it takes
for a signal at one end to be heard at the other.   The amount of data
(signals) which can be moved across a wire is ascertained by the line
encoding method, and how many signals the encoding system can be made to
produce in a second.  Minus the delay factors between point A and B of
course.

I seem to recall reading some papers from folks at the US Berkley computer
science dept a few years back that researched the various line encoding
techniques etc that were quite interesting.  I cannot find them now that I
need them though!!

RE: Ethernet Trivia

2000-10-09 Thread Ray Mosely

Come to think of it, despite my last response,
bits don't occupy space, at least not in theory.

Manchester encoding, used in ethernet, signals a
bit as a one or a zero depending on the
instantaneous change in voltage from +1 to -1
or -1 to +1 volt.  The time spent at a particular
voltage is just that, time spent.  The bit itself
is signal with the voltage change, which in theory
is instantaneous.

Of course, in reality there is no such thing as
a square wave.

The physical length of a signal is not inversely proportional to its
frequency.  It differs depending on the line encoding.   Again, a bit is the
term applied to the signal state.  Signal
states occupy line space.

Your formula is correct, however, it does not apply very well to finding
delay propogation over a wire because of the numerous other factors which
need to be applied additionally.  IE: The properties of the wire medium,
EMF, block coding, IFG, protocol overhead...

Re: Load

2000-10-09 Thread Ejay Hire

It means, (assuming that your bandwidth is set correctly), that you are 
using 9 /255 percent of your available bandwidth.  (Weighted five minute 
average.)  9 divided by 255 is 0.03529... or 3.5% of the available bandwith.

The BW parameter says this is a 128Kbps connection, so back to the 
calculator... 3.5% x 128kbps = 4.48 average kpbs for the last 5 minutes.

I beleive that plumb-ing is the act of populating the route table, as

water and other fluids to exit through tiny holes and connecting points in 
the pipes that would otherwise carry them to their intended destinations had 
I simply left them alone.

RE: Ethernet Trivia

2000-10-09 Thread Frank Wells

Lets not make this any more complicated than it needs to be.  In the case of 
Manchester encoding you are right on, but there are many more different line 
encoding methods than Manchester.

You are indeed correct about bits being wavelength. However, you don't seem 
to grasp that bits are just a nice friendly term to help folks understand 
the concepts.  Bits are intangible until sequences of them are turned into 
characters and formed into strings which are then compiled into scripts 
which get parsed by a command interpreter blah blah blah.

RE: CISCO SWITCH

2000-10-09 Thread Iohan Reyes

Ummm...I don't understand how you can provide a switch failover solution at
the access layer.  So, if you have a 24-port switch, with theoretically 24
workstations plugged into it, you want it to failover to another switch if
it fails?  You'd have to physically unplug all those cables and plug them
into the new switch!  Or maybe you can have two NICs at each workstation
plug each of them into two separate switcheswhat mechanism would you use
to do the failover then - Spanning-Tree, RIP?

Verizon BGP

Does anyone here peer with Verizon or work for the NOC. These guys are
telling me that I can't advertise an address block that doesn't belong to
them. So, what the hell is the point of a BGP session if I can't advertise
the same address through 2 or more providers. Also, I pointed my advertised
address at Null0 so that there would be a route in the table. They are
telling me that all the traffic will be dropped at the router. I had to
explain to their networking team about the longest match rule. Are these
guys hiring high school grads for the NOC team?

Hi Friends,

I passed this test last Friday, it is hard because the complexity and
the level of knowledge required... one have to master all the three
sections (Routing, Switching and Remote Access) to get a passing score,
otherwise a FAIL grade is received.

Thanks to all the people that make this group a tool for those pursuing
Cisco certifications... hope I can help some others as well.

RE: Ethernet Trivia

2000-10-09 Thread Ray Mosely

Them's fightin' words, but I'll ignore that.

The discussion is an ethernet discussion, therefore
Manchester encoding is the correct physical layer
protocol to refer to.  The discussion was reaching
some rarefied levels, so I felt comfortable throwing
in the encoding concepts.

Bits are a mathematical concept.  "Binary digits."
In that sense, they are intangible, and not wavelength,
as is any number concept.  (I'm not really sure what
you mean "bits being wavelength."  That discussion was
on bits occupying line space.)

Bits arose as a discussion concepts when the definition
of "get there" was called into question.  If by "get there"
we mean the arrival of the first tiny little iota of information,
then 10BaseT and 100BaseT arrive at the same time.  If
by "get there" we mean usable information in the form
of a packet or frame, then 100BaseT gets there first.

Follow the thread, and I hope you will see that my comments
fit in, just a day later than the weekend warriors.

Re: CISCO SWITCH

2000-10-09 Thread Iohan Reyes

Ahh...understood.  Is there special software that allows two NICs to have 
the same IP address to implement a "true" failover?  Because to me, two 
separate NICs with different IP addresses isn't a failover.

If this is the case, ANY switch should do the job because the failover is 
actually occuring at the server, not at the switch...correct?

Javier,

I dont know the exact port #'s that they use, but they easiest way (and
probably best way) to control access is to deny everything except the ports
that you want to use.  Such as 80 (http), 443 (SHTTP), 53 (udp dns), 21 and
20 (ftp).

Also, if I am correct, Napter runs over port 80 (http) and you can't block
it at the router without cutting of web access.

Re: MAX. VLAN's

2000-10-09 Thread jenny . mcleod



According to my CLSC manual, a Cat 5000 can support up to 250 *active* VLANs,
and up to 1000 all up.  A Cat 3000 supports 64 VLANs, and a Cisco 7000 router
supports 255 VLANs.  The Cat 1900 and Cat 2820 support up to 4 VLANs.  The
hardware covered in the CLSC course was outdated even when I took the course, so
I don't have figures for any of the newer models - I expect it would be on CCO
somewhere though (but I'm too lazy to check :-)

RE: CISCO SWITCH

A better solution is a Switch with built-in failover.  I.e. redundant Power 
supplies/Pocessor Cards.  Equipment doesn't fail often, and with hot-swap 
and hot-spare technologies, you can take it off of your worry list.

Ummm...I don't understand how you can provide a switch failover solution at
the access layer.  So, if you have a 24-port switch, with theoretically 24
workstations plugged into it, you want it to failover to another switch if
it fails?  You'd have to physically unplug all those cables and plug them
into the new switch!  Or maybe you can have two NICs at each workstation
plug each of them into two separate switcheswhat mechanism would you use
to do the failover then - Spanning-Tree, RIP?

Re: Load

2000-10-09 Thread jenny . mcleod



Further to the info below - if there's only a single load given (as below), then
it refers to the outbound load.  I believe some later versions of IOS give load
for both outbound and inbound directions.
If you don't want to do the maths below to work out the Kbps, you can always
just look further down the 'show int' display, to where it says something
like...
  5 minute input rate 16000 bits/sec, 7 packets/sec
  5 minute output rate 2000 bits/sec, 5 packets/sec

The input rate and output rate displayed should be accurate even if your
bandwidth is configured incorrectly.  The load figure is calculated using the
bandwidth configured on the interface - if that's wrong, the displayed load will
be wrong.

It means, (assuming that your bandwidth is set correctly), that you are
using 9 /255 percent of your available bandwidth.  (Weighted five minute
average.)  9 divided by 255 is 0.03529... or 3.5% of the available bandwith.

The BW parameter says this is a 128Kbps connection, so back to the
calculator... 3.5% x 128kbps = 4.48 average kpbs for the last 5 minutes.

Re: ATM... Why not STM? (just for fun)

2000-10-09 Thread Lauren Child

ATM isnt really Asynchronous, its Synchronous but it fills in any blank
bits by filling them in with blank cells, which are ignored at the other
end (except it keeps it all nicely synchronised even though the data is
bursty).

Incidentally Synchronous systems are usually faster because both ends
know exactly when they are going to recieve data, so they dont have to
listen out for it.

well it would, except that:

is a 768 KB FR connection to BBN.  The UUnet connection is supposed to
be the primary while BBN is the secondary. I have two C's from BBN and
one from UUnet.  What type of routing would best permit this to happen?
How can I use all three addresses?  I am leaning towards BGP but want
to find out if there is an easier way.

RE: Ethernet Trivia

2000-10-09 Thread Frank Wells

Apologies Ray, that came out a little more harsh than intended.

This thread is getting way off topic, lets leave it at that.

Re: Re: ICMP redirects

2000-10-09 Thread Paul Werner

 On Mon, 09 Oct 2000, Priscilla Oppenheimer 
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote:
> What does it mean to plumb host routes? I couldn't decode what 
Microsoft is  attempting to say in this article. If you can 
explain it, that would be  great. (The other articles did make 
sense. Thanks for the URLs.)<

I was hoping you wouldn't ask that :-)

In all seriousness, I was more than just a little confused by 
their terminology.  Of course, this has to be taken in the 
proper context, coming from an organization that refers to TCP 
as the "Transport Control Protocol" ;-)

I did a quick search at MS to see if there were any tell tale 
clues.  These links seem to be indicative of a methodology of 
software engineering to inject a portion of code to solve a 
given problem:

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q265/1/12.asp

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/periodic/period98/extreme0598.
htm

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/welcome/dsmsdn/rivard_qa.htm

Of course, I wasn't 100% satisfied that it was totally correct, 
so I did a little bit more hunting and came up with the word 
usage from Paul Maritz, an old timer from MS :-)  He left me 
with the impression that "re-plumbing" is the fine art of going 
in and fixing code to make it well again:

http://www.microsoft.com/PressPass/exec/paul/09-13webdev.asp

Undeterred, I pressed on...I then started to realize, maybe this 
was bigger than MS.  Maybe this was somehow an open standards 
based term that I had not heard about previously.  With cursor 
in hand, I went to the Internet Encyclopedia at this location 
and did a word search for "plumb" :

http://www.freesoft.org/CIE/search.htm

Finally, the end was in sight.  There were three hits and out of 
a hunch, I opted in for the hit that yielded "100%".  What do 
you know, but this was the the final definitive word on the 
subject.  Quoting from RFC 2324, "Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control 
Protocol (HTCPCP/1.0)":


7. Security Considerations

Anyone who gets in between me and my morning coffee should be 
insecure.

Unmoderated access to unprotected coffee pots from Internet 
users might lead to several kinds of "denial of coffee service" 
attacks. The improper use of filtration devices might admit 
trojan grounds. Filtration is not a good virus protection 
method.

Putting coffee grounds into Internet plumbing may result in 
clogged plumbing, which would entail the services of an Internet 
Plumber [PLUMB], who would, in turn, require an Internet 
Plumber's Helper.

Checking paragraph 9 of the same RFC yielded the reference for 
PLUMB.  It was indeed Bob Metcalfe, the consummate Internet 
Plumber and prognisticator of all things networking.

In short and to recap;

I have absolutely no idea what they meant 8-)

v/r,

Paul Werner

p.s.  When I get a free moment, I want to share a story for the 
group about the use of subnet zero on Internet hosts and 
Internet Gateways and mention why it is *still* a good idea 
*not* to use subnet zero on Internet host addressing.
