DreamHost Contact?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I've attempted to contact DreamHost NOC or Abuse departments via the numbers in whois but just get voice mail and no call back. I've got a user sending a lot of UDP traffic to 208.113.189.13 port 22. This traffic is very likely undesirable and I'd be willing to pull the plug immediately if I can get confirmation from DreamHost. Failing that I've opened an abuse ticket with the customer and given them 12 hours to respond. - -- Michael Greb Linode.com, LLC -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHeFcN0Qbp4bPZvesRAncgAJ98S3v+I/+wxal0lWZn/9GRHimqUgCg1tXW 5CnD7nmJBMDy4Jht2vxkk2k= =wtUq -END PGP SIGNATURE-

However, that doesn't explain why you don't deliver v4 and v6 both over the same higher-priced port. We would be happy to do this for anybody that wants to pay for it. The earlier poster implied he didn't want to pay anything extra for IPv6. You must have misread my post, I stated that we were told our bill would be double and an additional IPv6 only drop would be needed in each cabinet. Perhaps the sales person was wrong, but that is what we were told and that is what I stated in my post. Due to the price being double what it was, my employer decided it wasn't worthwhile. I imagine that we would be willing to pay a premium for native v6 but not twice what we are paying now. Mike. Michael signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Note that verio, he.net, towardex, and many other progressive hosting companies have been dual stack for a long time. Perhaps the services that are not able to do dual stack will vote with their wallets and either move to a company who can help them with this or at least buy better engineers. Something has to sort of make them do it though, I can't see united.com just coming up with this idea on their own. I can't speak for the others but he.net doesn't seem to interested in customers making use of their dual stack network. We looked into getting IPv6 space from them to go with our IPv4 assignments for a couple of racks of servers in one of their datacenters. They wanted to double the monthly fee for data and drop a second v6 only port to our racks, not my idea of a dual stack network. Needless to say, we do not have native IPv6, a few of our customers that desired it are using HE's free tunnel broker service though. Michael signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Moralities aren't black and white, generating profits falls behind other legal and moral obligations that apply to everyone. Except, they don't in the United States corporations have a legal obligation to put profits above all else. They are legally forbidden to put morality above profit. These laws are severyly in need of some adjustments. Even Google, with it's Don't Be Evil policy Any influence Google's Don't be Evil policy had vanished the day it was floated AFAICT. Where profits are put before morals that is called greed. Sure the No, that is following the law. stockmarkets allow people to put greedy people in charge of their money, but be aware what goes around, comes around. HG Wells referred to people investing in the stockmarket as a purely financial endevour for short term profits as the irresponsibly wealthy as far back as 1902. Plus ça change.

Ham Radio operators, myself included, were stationed at each shelter, the Red Cross and Salvation Army command centers, the county EOC, hospitals, and some assigned to shadow important people such as the mayor whereever they went. Every agency participating had a presence at the county EOC. When an ambulance was needed at a shelter, it was called for via ham radio, an operator at the EOC passed the message to the ambulance dispatcher in the same room, they called the ambulance out. Those in their home and not in a shelter had no way to call for help but the city and county themselves did not rely on phone service for anything. This is why the federal government gives so much valuable radio spectrum to Ham Radio, more then any other service, the principal purpose of Ham Radio is to provide emergency communications in times of need. 3) the pictures I've been seeing have been full of boats, many of them thrown up on land a few hundred feet from their berths Not saying that the utter failure of DHS as an organization isn't on evidence here. Just saying that it's one thing to feed and water a plant and quite another to feed and water a human being, let alone tens of thousands of them.

Simple: it's too expensive. Keep this in mind when trading in your POTS service for VoIP service over the internet. Discounting the local loop which is often the same in both cases, POTS is extremely reliable while VoIP over the public internet, well, isn't. But apparently people that switch to VoIP don't mind the reduced likelihood of being able to make calls during the next large scale emergency. Yes! I agree 100%. The key words in that above statement were cheap commoditized. The reason satellite phones work in big disaster areas (other than the fact that the entire infrastructure in the affected area is comprised of a solar powered satellite and a subscriber's hand set with a remote base station(s) somewhere else in the world) is simple; not everyone and their cousin has one to use. Did I miss the memo announcing the Slashdot commentary section had been extended to the NANOG mailing list? It is one thing to expand on a story with useful insights, but this entire thread is just restating the obvious for the sake of hearing your own voice (or the digital equivalent thereof). If I wanted to read the uninformed reactions of random people to random news stories wondering why cell phone circuits fill up during natural disasters I would go to slashdot and click Read More This stuff doesn't even come close to being NANOG worthy, let alone on-topic or appropriate. Note: nothing personal to those being quoted. Richard, I couldn't agree with you more, I've been concidering unsubscribing from the day I subscribed. The reaction to your post was even worse then the messages themselves. Perhaps it is time to leave. Michael signature.asc Description: Digital signature
