Re: Cannot browse Some Website: Try this: www.sitemeter.com [7:2403]

2001-04-28 Thread Trey Webb

Can you telnet to port 80 on www.sitemeter.com? This will help you determine
if their
are filtering issues. Also, try large packet pings with DF set just to
verify there are
no Path MTU Discovery issues.

Re: Cisco Question [7:2447]

2001-04-29 Thread Trey Webb

If you had to select just one answer I would say DTE as there are also
non-CPE routers.
If you want to be really picky you could say there are routers acting as DCE
also, but
this usually requires some additional configuration and is not usally the
default
behavior. HTH.

Re: CCIE written test questions [7:2497]

2001-04-29 Thread Trey Webb

1) In short Fast Link Pulse (FLP) is used to perform autonegotiation on
twisted pair
media. For details see:

See:
http://cisco.com/warp/public/473/46.html

2) TCP slow start is flow control mechanism employed by the sender. This
allows the
sender to probe the maximum window size it may use for transmisson without
significantly
impacting throughput. It starts by transmitting data in one window chunks of
a size
specified by the lowest MSS advertised by each host. The transmitter calls
this window
the congestion window (cwnd). For each ACK received the congestion window is
increase by
one. Only cwnd segments may be outstanding at any one time. This increases
until packets
begin to be dropped. This results in an exponential growth of the number of
segments
that will be transmitted before recieving an ACK.

See:
- TCP/IP illustrated by W. Richard Stevens
- "Congestion Avoidance and Control," V. Jacobson, ACM SIGCOMM-88, August
1988.


3) The CSU/DSU should go into loopback mode and instead of passing data
through its
framer and on to the DTE it should send the data back to the network. This
is useful for
circuit testing.

Re: Route descriptor blocks???? [7:3104]

2001-05-03 Thread Trey Webb

Route Descriptor Blocks (and Interface Descriptor Blocks IDBs) are internal
data
structures that can not be configured directly. They store the necessary
information
about routes and interfaces in memory.

This will result in the announcement of 202.161.128.0/19 (128-160), the

Re: real world BGP question [7:3506]

2001-05-08 Thread Trey Webb

Those /24s likely have something to do with the fact that the blocks in the
A space you
mentioned are ARIN allocated CIDR blocks. I believe that ISPs tend to be a
little less
restrictive on them. Several other route-servers mirror your findings on
cerf.net.

For those of you that haven't seen it:
