It's only a flesh wound (was Re: OT: Anyone here know what's up with inet-access.net)
Gerry Boudreaux emailed Avi and me about this on 9/30: The server that has been hosting inet-access took a nose dive yesterday. Hopefully we can have it rebuilt by tomorrow. Apparently rebuilding the server is taking a bit longer than anticipated. Well, maybe it's a pretty big flesh wound, but it's not dead yet! jc

Requesting P.I. Space from ARIN - latest issues?
After taking IP space from upstreams for years, I am on the verge of requesting PI space from ARIN, but after reviewing their guidelines, I have a couple of questions: 1) I meet the Multihoming requirement, which means I can get a block as small as a /22, which is about right for my needs. Are there still any concerns about networks (as Verio and Sprint have done in the past) filtering out longer prefixes, and if so, does it depend on whether it;s former class A, B, C or swamp space? I know when I got my current block from my upstream, I had to make sure I got swamp space, because the former class B block they initially allocated to me wouldn't have made it past Verio's filters at that time. 2) I currently have a /21 from an upstream, for which I met the requirements for when I got it, but since outsourcing the dialup, I am probably well below ARIN's guidelines for efficient utilization at this time. Would this cause a problem in my application, even though I am applying for a smaller block? Thanks in advance, James Smallacombe PlantageNet, Inc. CEO and Janitor [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://3.am =

Most if not all of the /8s that get assigned to ARIN have a prescribed minimum allocation size. How rigorously that is followed is another story :-) I believe it is followed rigourously for new assignments, and that / 22 assignments are made from a range of addresses whose minimum allocation size is /22 (or longer). ISPs who filter based on prefix length according to RIR minimum allocation sizes should not block a route based on such an assignment, assuming their filters are up-to-date. Whether or not any particular prefix is blocked is best determined experimentally (e.g. feed a box with two interface addresses from different ranges a list of hosts to ping at a polite, low frequency, and compare the results sourced from each address). I have had dealings with many ISPs who have announced blocks based on fairly long-prefix assignments from RIRs, following policies such as ARIN's multi-homing assignment policy, and I haven't heard of any substantial problems due to the prefix length. James' MMV, of course. I don't think you can specifically request that ARIN assign you space out of the swamp these days. You can request anything you like. Whether it makes a difference is another thing entirely :-) Joe
SNMP Accounting Software

NANOG Program Committee announcement
On behalf of the NANOG Steering Committee, we are pleased to announce that the eight new members of the NANOG Program Committee are: Dan Golding Joel Jaeggli Ren Provo Jennifer Rexford Josh Snowhorn Pete Templin Todd Underwood Vish Yelsangikar They will be joining the eight returning members from the current Program Committee: Joe Abley Kevin Epperson Steve Feldman Hank Kilmer Christopher Morrow David O'Leary Ted Seely Bill Woodcock With so many well-qualified new candidates and current PC members, this was an extraordinarily difficult decision process, but in the end we believe we have come up with a solid, diverse panel which represents most of the NANOG constituency, and has the ability to recruit and select talks from a wide pool. The selection process is documented in detail at http://www.nanog.org/pc.selection.05.html Please join us in thanking everyone who participated as a candidate. All of them are valuable members of the NANOG community, and we look forward to their continuing contributions. We would also like to thank the outgoing PC members: Bill Norton Elise Gerich Susan Hares Craig Labovitz Bill Manning Dave Meyer Stephen Stuart Rob Thomas for their hard work and invaluable contribution to the community. For the Steering Committee, Randy Bush, SC chair Steve Feldman, PC chair
Another Program Committee change
As provided in the NANOG charter, Merit Network has one representative on the Program Committee. Susan Harris as been in that role since the adoption of the charter, and has been an integral part of the PC for a long time prior to that. Susan is stepping down from her PC membership role, and Merit has designated Bert Rossi as their new representative. Susan will continue working with the PC in her administrative and support role, including the tasks of collecting and organizing submissions, communicating with speakers, and drafting the agenda, calls for presentations, and other documents. And perhaps most important, she will continue keeping me and the rest of the PC focused and on schedule. She will also continue to be active in other ways with the NANOG community, including acting as Merit's representative on the mailing list committee. Bert Rossi is a Senior Network Engineer with Michnet, the statewide high-speed research and education network operated in Michigan by Merit. On behalf of the Program Committee I, would like to express heartfelt thanks to Susan, and welcome to Bert. Steve Feldman, PC chair
RE: SNMP Accounting Software
It uses the 2nd (monthly) method you describe and gives you a 95th percentile number for both inbound and outbound. You can then use both or one of them.

I know at least about 6 95%ile favors around. Does anybody know, which of them are mostly used? the two variants, I have in mind are daily 95%ile ( drop the max 5% samples per day for each direction, average on the end of the month for each direction and use the higher value then ) and a monthly 95%ile ( drop the max 5% samples over all samples over the month for both directions, use the higher value then ) cheers Martin
VPLS Experience
I keep hearing that VPLS is a Good Thing. Indeed for certain design models it seems to offer some real advantages. There doesn't seem to be anywhere near the level of stability concern that we saw when MPLS first came out - there was a really strong negative about MPLS in 1999 at nanog, behind the scenes anyway. [1] Has anyone got any good deployment or lab test experience they can share? Obviously comment on debug tools, operating models etc would be cool. Basically I am hearing a bit of FUD about jumbo frames, dDOS and multicast, but they look like design problems to me. Has anyone got any backbone or converged network experience they can share?
