Re: ASN Name of the week
Hi Carlos, We'll probably run out of v4 addresses sooner than 2 byte ASN, however, globally it seems more pieces of the puzzle are in place for the latter "revolution". What percentage of your core routers can be configured with a four-octet ASN? :) Cheers, Rob
Re: How to get a list of research and academic ISP ?
There are certainly some academic aggregation SP's - NYSERNET and CANARIE and RENATER (google on those) come to mind. Some more lists.

Re: Cogent problems in the uk.
We have a cage at Telecity on the isle of dogs and we just lost our vpn connections to there and now everything is dying at cogent. Which Telecity on the Isle of Dogs. :-) A couple of messages on the LINX ops list suggest there are power issues at Telecity Bonnington House at the moment... Cheers, Rob
Re: Deaggregation Disease
Just to make it clear: AS4151 was 9 month ago. Now we see history again with new actors. (I guess the actual increase was done by various ASN of RENATER). I'm curious how you reach the conclusion that RENATER has contributed to many of the prefixes over the last week. They do seem to have announced a bunch of prefixes that could be aggregated, but look at the following report: http://www.cidr-report.org/as-prefixes.txt There seem to be a whole load of ASNs that have deaggregated. AS5416, AS5639, AS6140, AS9121, AS13049, AS16130, AS17849, AS18049 (that's as far as I got before getting bored). Some of these are advertising the covering prefix too, so they're certainly aware of how to aggregate. Rob
Re: OMB: IPv6 by June 2008
> What fundamental address space problem? I'd say we run out of AS numbers > about a year before we run out of IPv4 addresses, whenever that is. Fortunately we have solutions for both. 32 bit ASNs and 128 bit addresses. Pressure your vendors and peers to implement both. Death of internet not predicted. No film at 11. Rob

KPNQwest
Considering the number of messages about companies going bust, this one seems vaguely operational for some... http://biz.yahoo.com/djus/020529/200205292257000882_2.html There are a number of quotes from "people familiar with the matter," but as I understand it the background is sound. If KPNQ does have to switch off their network, it will affect a large number of businesses in Europe, as they offer both circuits (via their extensive "Eurorings" network) and IP connectivity (they acquired Ebone not too long ago).

Re: gtld-servers returning multiple A records for a NS?
Hi, > I'm not certain that this is entirely accurate. Certainly, ns0.ja.net has > had two IP addresses for as long as I can remember (at least for the last > five years...) and has been happily reflected in the whois and .net zone. Yes, but trying to modify anything in the Verisign database to do with that box has been a nightmare. Not tried since the change in policy, hopfully it will save some hair-pulling!
