If my memory serves me right, that's ~ 6 miles from Dulles.
There should be a dozen hotels that cost anywhere between $100..200 
within easy cab ride of the place (don't know about buses / metro rail) 
- homestead / days inn type motels to marriotts

We do indeed have a NANOG rate, and it will be posted at www.nanog.org by
the end of the day Monday.  The hotel's been working out last-minute
details of web registration.

Over the course of time I have stayed at everyone of the Dulles area
hotels listed below, and don't mind recommending any of them.  The Hyatt
at Reston is are very nice hotel and worth it if you can stomach the
cost.  The fact that you would save on taxi/rental fares to and from the
NANOG event might help justify staying at the Reston Hyatt.  Also, at
the Reston-Hyatt there are plenty of restaurants/bars/shops within
walking distance.

If you have a Cisco at both ends with the correct IOS, you can run a
ttcp test to try and stress the DS3.

Subject: bandwidth test



Recently my DS3 has been turned up to 8 megabits. How can I test to see
if I can actually achieve that throughput? Online bandwidth test sites
are only good for up to 5mb at the most, and my upstream doesn't have a
method to test that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Sri Lanka Internet submarine cable cut

2004-08-22 Thread Sean Donelan


In a message to it's users, SLTnet said: We have lost connectivity to
global Internet due to failure in the international submarine cable
system. All measures have been taken to normalise this as early as
possible.

An additional but limited capacity satellite uplink has been made to
manage the information flow crisis caused by the crash, particularly when
people go to their offices, banks universities etc., SLTnet officials
said.
