Overview

NANOG and ARIN have been been unique and successful cooperative fora for
Internet builders in North America and other parts of the world.  Senior
practitioners from around the world contribute their time to NANOG and
ARIN as presenters, teachers and trainers, to produce consistent
non-commercial conferences of high-quality.

Since 2007, the generosity of an anonymous donor and the administration
of the Internet Society, have allowed NANOG and ARIN to provide
financial support to a person from a developing country to participate
in the October joint NANOG/ARIN meeting.

The Postel Network Operator's Scholarship Committee cordially invite
suitable applicants to apply for fellowship funding to participate in
the October 2008 joint NANOG/ARIN meeting.

Award Package

Successful applicants will be provided with transportation to and from
the meetings and a reasonable (local host standard) allowance for food
and accommodation. In addition all fees for participation in the

and will be advised to successful applicants.

Criteria for Selection

The Postel Network Operator's Scholarship Committee will select the
fellow according to following criteria.

  * Membership in the Target Audience listed above
  * Residency in a developing country
  * Demonstrated ability to utilize the experiences gained from

You won't see vlan info unless you are on a trunking port.

mtu mis-match

2008-03-19 Thread ann kok

Hi 

I have this problem about mtu mismatch

Some DSL clients, some are working fine.
(browsing...ping ...)

Some DSL clients have this problem
they can't browse the sites.
they can ssh the host but couldn't run the command in
the shell prompt
ping packet are working fine (no packet lost)

Why?
but I still don't know why mtu can cause this problem

Thank you for your help

Why do you think you have an MTU mismatch problem?

If are using a Linux box as a router, then you can set
the MTU of any interface with the ifconfig command.

Are you using PPPoE to transport and manage your DSL users, or are they 
bridged?


Ping packets, unless you specifically use a larger packet size, are 
usually pretty small.  Try running ping tests with a larger packet size, 
say, 1495 bytes, and see if those fail.


HTTP, SSH, etc, can easily (and often do) generate packets up to the 
maximum segment size.  That's why MTU mismatches can seem to affect some 
types of traffic but not others.


The 'lowest common denominator' for MTUs is often 1500 bytes, but 
protocols that need to wrap or tunnel existing packets (GRE, PPPoE, IPSEC, 
etc) impose some overhead of their own.  Unless the MTU or TCP maximum 
segment size of the original traffic is reduced a bit, the tunneled 
packets will need to be fragmented for transport across the network.  This 
can lead to performance problems like the ones you're seeing.  The magic 
number for an MTU on PPPoE DSL is 1492 bytes, based on past DSL 
aggregation work I've done.

Re: do you know how to dump packet to see vlan info

You can use the 8021q module in linux, and the vlan tools to run an 
interface as a dot1q trunk. I'm not sure off-hand about the other 
distributions, but under Debian you just need the 'vlan' package.


modprobe 8021q
ifconfig eth1 up
vconfig add eth1 vlan id
ifconfig eth1.vlan id ip address netmask netmask

Configure your switch port to trunk mode, tag your vlans onto it, et 
voila.


This will give you a presence in as many broadcast domains as you decide 
to tag.
