RE: L3VPN VPNv4 NLRI - Route Reflector Scaling

2008-04-04 Thread David Freedman

This is made easier by the cisco allowing regular expressions in the 
extcommunity list,
an RT scoping policy can be implemented as a result.

An inevitable end as the number of routes grows.

In our case we use the cisco rr-group directive 
(http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_3/iproute/command/reference/ip2_a1g.html#wp1040902)
 
to limit RR clusters to the prefixes we actually want them to reflect, filtered 
by extcommunity.

The downside to this of course is that the RRs spend time discarding prefixes 
when update time comes around for the PEs.

120+ km long haul 1GE

Hi all!

I've been looking at long haul (120+ km) options for
repeaterless 1GE. Since these are not your garden
variety optics, I'd appreciate any insights or
recommendations.

Nanog 43/CBX -- Hotel codes etc

2008-04-04 Thread David Diaz
Since several members pointed out I should post this information as people
are buying their plane tickets here it is:

If you plan on staying over in NY for a few extra nights to attend CBX or
just enjoy the city you will need to use the codes below. I would recommend
calling the hotel since you will need your nanog code as well as the CBX
code below for your longer duration stay.

Also, if you are PLANNING ANY EVENTS during the nanog and wish that
information passed on to other attendees please feel free to forward me your
event. I can also help make sure it does not conflict with any other events.
I do know there are events planned for the weekend prior to nanog and there
are events afterwards during the CBX.

TIPS:
New York is a wonderful city, however, as with any large city travel safely
-Do not use your iPod white ear pieces. Especially on the subway at night
-Travel in groups or with a local
-Know where you are going ahead of time so you do not need to keep the map
open
-Using your laptop on the train at night and storing it in a big laptop bag
that says LAPTOP or FORUM on it is a no-no
-DO NOT go to the wonderful local Apple Store and walk around the city with
that white APPLE bag full of iPhones
-Stay on the main streets not the allays especially off-Broadway
-Car services from the hotel are flat rates and very cost effective.

It's a very safe city for the last decade but travel smartly and enjoy.

Anyone wishing to be invited or included in any events around the city or
sponsored activities please email me at davediaz AT telx.com or davediaz AT
gmail.com

I think you're contradicting yourself here...

Anyway -- I regard most of those warnings as quite overblown.  I mean,
on lots of subway cars you stand out more if you don't have white
earbuds in, probably attached to iPhones.  Midtown is very safe.  Your
laptop bag doesn't have to say laptop on it to be recognized as such,
but there are so many other people with laptop bags that you won't stand
out if you have one.  Subway crime?  The average daily ridership is
about 5,000,000; there are on average 9 felonies a day on the whole
system. To quote a city police official I met, that makes the subways
by far the safest city in the world.

Yes, you're probably at more risk if you look like a tourist.  But there
are lots of ways to do that, like waiting for a walk sign before
crossing the street...  (Visiting Tokyo last month was quite a shock to
my system; I had to unlearn all sorts of things.)

Enjoy the city and don't worry about crime.  The real danger is not
remembering that you never have the right of way anywhere, unless you
take it...  (I currently live in a neighborhood that ~20 years ago, I
probably wouldn't have dared to visit.  But the city is safer now than
it's been in at least 40 years.)

Does TCP Need an Overhaul? (internetevolution, via slashdot)

2008-04-04 Thread Paul Vixie

in http://www.internetevolution.com/author.asp?section_id=499doc_id=150113
larry roberts says:

..., last year a new alternative to using output queues, called flow
management was introduced. This concept finally solves the TCP
unfairness problem and leads to my answer: Fix the network, not TCP.

...

What is really necessary is to detect just the flows that need to slow
down, and selectively discard just one packet at the right time, but
not more, per TCP cycle. Discarding too many will cause a flow to
stall -- we see this when Web access takes forever.

Flow management requires keeping information on each active flow,
which currently is inexpensive and allows us to build an intelligent
process that can precisely control the rate of every flow as needed to
insure no overloads. Thus, there are now two options for network
equipment:

 o Random discards from output queues bIntelligent rate control of
   every flow -- creates much TCP unfairness

 o Intelligent rate control of every flow -- eliminates most TCP
   unfairness

...

i wouldn't want to get in an argument with somebody who was smart and savvy
enough to invent packet switching during the year i entered kindergarden,
but, somebody told me once that keeping information on every flow was *not*
inexpensive.  should somebody tell dr. roberts?

(i'd hate to think that everybody would have to buy roberts' (anagran's)
Fast Flow Technology at every node of their network to make this work.  that
doesn't sound inexpensive to me.

I suppose he could try to sell it... and people with larger networks
could see if keeping state on a few million active flows per device is
'expensive' or 'inexpensive'. Perhaps it's less expensive than it
seems as though it would.

Oh, will this be in linecard RAM? main-cpu-RAM? calculated on
ASIC/port or overall for the whole box/system? How about deconflicting
overlapping ip-space (darn that mpls!!!) what about asymmetric flows?

I had thought the flow-routing thing was a dead end subject long ago?
