Re: Status of IPv6 deployment in Israel?
On Tuesday 06 May 2008 00:10, Omer Zak wrote: > What is the current status of IPv6 deployment in Israel? Hello Omer, The status of IPv6 deployment is as follows: 1. Machba/IIUCC (israel academic network) has IPv6 in it's core, and IPv6 is provided to each campus. It also has IPv6 connectivity to the world via it's service provider (GEANT- PanEuropean academic/research network). It also has IPv6 connectivity to IIX. 2. IIX is IPv6 enabled and supports peering via IPv6. BezeqINT and IIUCC already peer with it via v6. 3. BezeqINT has IPv6 in some of its core, and is connected to the IIX via IPv6. They might also have IPv6 connectivity to their upstream providers abroad (I assume they have at least one such v6 peering). 4. Smile Communications (012 + Internet Zahav) have IPv6 in the core network of what used to be Internet Zahav, and they also have at least one v6 peering with one of their upstreams. They also provide a v6 service, that is irc.ipv6.inter.net.il The above only includes v6 data of applications/implementations on the public internet, there may also be deployments inside companies for tests, product development, etc, but I do not have data on those. --Ariel -- Ariel Biener e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP: http://www.tau.ac.il/~ariel/pgp.html = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As I don't know what your specific setup is, I refered you to its documentation. Just as ':make' has basically the same syntax as the original command (:make targetname), :grep has the same basic syntax as the shell command: ':grep pattern files' -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il || a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] || best ICQ# 16849754 || friend = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Asterisk
Hi, I wonder if someone here can help me. My customers and I have been experiencing extremely poor quality on our VoIP lines to the US lately. i am trying to track down the problem, and wonder if someone could do me a favor... I would like to install asterisk on a colocated linux box here in Israel to test an IAX trunk to the US. My company was supposed to colocate a server here in Israel some time ago, but due to circumstances beyond our control the situation became rather complicated and it hasn't happened yet. If this test proves that we can get a clean trunk between here and our Asterisk servers in the US, I can force the issue and make it happen, but I really need to prove my point first. This install would not be used for commercial traffic, only to test a dedicated trunk to the US, and I would register one device to it on this end. I only need to run it for a few days to a week at the most.

failed to load module
Hi All, Lately I've noticed a new problem, it seems that I'm unable to load a certain module in my system. as far as I'm aware, I didn't change anything (no new kernel, no new modules were loaded etc) this system is considered a stable system. I've tried to Google for it, but I found only questions with no answers, and I've seen this error message for different modules. in my case, its the lirc_serial module which cannot load. doing a modprobe, results with the following error in dmesg: kobject_add failed for lirc_serial.0 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory. Call Trace: [] kobject_shadow_add+0x182/0x18d [] device_add+0xa1/0x726 [] platform_device_add+0xda/0x13f [] :lirc_serial:init_module+0x2d/0x2f2 [] :lirc_serial:init_module+0x0/0x2f2 [] :lirc_serial:init_module+0x0/0x2f2 [] sys_init_module+0xad/0x168 [] system_call+0x7e/0x83 insmod /lib/modules/2.6.21.5/misc/lirc_serial.ko insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.21.5/misc/lirc_serial.ko': -1 File exists lsmod |grep lirc lirc_dev 18312 0 anyone has any idea how to debug this?
