When considering a subject, remember that the APRICOT audience is mainly
comprised of technical network operators and engineers with a wide range
of experience levels from beginners to multi-year experience.

IMPORTANT NOTE

APRICOT is a TECHNICAL conference.
The program committee is charged with maintaining the technical standard
of APRICOT, and will therefore not accept inappropriate materials.
It is the expectation of both the selection committee and the audience
that the presenter be a technical professional not a marketing or sales
person.

TUTORIALS

Tutorials are full-day workshops (4 sessions of 90 min. in length) which
focus on a particular subject in-depth. They may be presented by a
single Instructor, or a team of instructors working together.  You can
propose a tutorial by completing the online form at
http://www.2005.apricot.net/cfp.html

TECHNICAL CONFERENCE SESSIONS

The APRICOT Technical Conference Schedule is made up of 1.5 hour
conference sessions, each including up to 3 speakers  (therefore
allowing 20-30 minutes per speaker). Sessions are chaired by persons of
appropriate expertise in the subject matter of the session, and will
include ample time for questions from the audience. If you would like to
propose a presentation, complete the online form at
http://www.2005.apricot.net/cfp.html

FUNDING AND SUPPORT

Only in exceptional circumstances of hardship will APRICOT be able to
consider assisting with travel expenses of conference speakers or
tutorial instructors. Registration fees will be waived for presenters to
attend the portion of the program they are speaking in.

Re: RIPE Golden Networks Document ID - 229/210/178

2004-09-02 Thread Bill Manning
well
RIPE is the RIR for Europe.  RIPE-229 is, from my viewpoint, arbitrary 
and capricious.
the root servers are -ONE- set of interesting servers.   what about the 
web sites that point
to these important documents?  or the time servers, or my NOC  
monitoring machines?

The idea of an Internet Registry stepping into giving routing advice is 
a leap of faith.
An RIR can tell you what was delegated - but presuming to give advice 
on what is important
for everyone that uses IP protocols is over the top.

so no, i don't use this document as a guideline for golden networks.  
 the advice on
dampening is important tho and it worthwhile.

Hello folks,
This is actually NANOG applicable, despite referring to RIPE... ;-)
How many of you who manage BGP speaking networks implement the RIPE 
best practices  regarding dampening parameters  for so-called 
golden networks?

See: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/routeflap-damping.html
and
http://www.qorbit.net/documents/golden-networks (thanks, Steve!)
If you do, what parameters do you use, or do you not dampen the 
golden networks at all?

If you don't implement ripe-229, why not?
If there is enough interest/response (i.e if anyone besides me feels 
this is a real operational issue currently and wants to deal with it), 
I'll work on compiling the responses and producing a report.

Note: A *significant* number of networks appear to *not* follow 
ripe-229 guidelines at all.

Thanks,

bing!  the 3ffe:: entries are for experimental services -only-
