Thank you for the response!! Sincerely requesting help again for my Doctoral study
Dear Respected Participants of Nanog Greetings! I introduce myself as Ananth Chiravuri, a doctoral student at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. As part of my doctoral dissertation, I am working on how best to come to a consensus when capturing knowledge, and am studying the effectiveness of two techniques. I am writing to request help because in order for my research to contribute meaningfully, I need the participation of real world experts and not students. In this regard, I want to acknowledge and thank the experts, who responded very graciously, for agreeing to participate in my experiment. However, I still have a long way to go because the overall number of experts needed for my experiment is 100 and am resending an email with my request. The tasks that I have chosen relate to networking and therefore, I am looking for experts or professionals in network management or network design. (An expert would be anyone who has had more than 12-18 months of experience). The experiment will be conducted on-line using virtual teams and the time required may be at most 3-4 hours asynchronously (you can participate at your convenience). I am willing to customize the report to meet the requirements of your organization and anonymity of participants and the firms will be ensured. The results of this report will indicate an effective technique of capturing knowledge using virtual teams of experts. It may help your firm to use the technique to capture knowledge and come to a consensus at a much faster time, thus saving precious resources and time. Please kindly email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or at [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you are interested to participate. I am looking for a total of 50 members (10 teams of five each) for each technique (a total of 100 participants) and therefore, I sincerely request and would highly appreciate if each one of you (and your firms) could help me and give me some of your precious time. Most importantly, your participation will ensure support for academic research in a big manner. Thanking you all in advance. I apologize for any inconvenience, if caused. Happy Holidays to all and hope that you make mine happy too! Regards ananth chiravuri Univ of Wisconsin Milwaukee Milwaukee, WI [EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

RE: IP telephony - Thank you all for insights and answers - no new content in message, but I wanted to acknowledge all who took the time!

FTC DNCR issues - Thank you ALL!!
Folks - Perhaps along with soliciting advice from this community I would have been better served to go right to Sister Mary Grace and asked for assistance from a higher authority than even NANOG. God was clearly NOT smiling on us this weekend!! But on the other hand He has deservedly had a few issues with me:-) I believe we are now operating in a stable mode and the application is handling things as it was designed to. We will now be able to focus on the tweaking, adjusting and changes typical of the first few days of a launch of this size and scope. Emails are now flowing and queues are almost gone. I am told we are now compliant with at least major protocol and standards. The reverse DNS issues was a side effect of our hardware problem, and is now working properly. 1) If anyone has comment, suggestions or does still think we are operating amateurishly, please let me know!! I actually may have time to get these issues addressed now. 2) I know we were blocked by many ISPs for varying lengths of time due to mostly to our lack of rDNS. I think we have lost these emails as they were likely accepted I am told we stopped sending permanent cookies Saturday afternoon. This is indeed contrary to the Governments privacy policy. It has to do with Webtrends and our requirements to report statistics. I am told session cookies are still going to be necessary 3) Is this acceptable to the community? We have identified some browser issues, particularly some older versions of Netscape. 4) Any issues being seen out there, we would love to ID and address. It was great to find the NANOG community and even though I am (obviously) not a techie (only one of those lowlife sales people that get folks like you in trouble all the time), I will be hanging around on the periphery and continue my education through this new resource. You have all been helpful and I offer my sincere appreciation. Best Regards, Richard -Original Message- From: Mary Grace [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2003 1:03 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Newbie network upgrade question, apologies in advance to NANOG NANOG: This message was posted originally on the isp-bgp list, and I was told that it should have been posted on one of the network operator lists or a Cisco list if I really wanted advice on Cisco equipment from veteran network operators who have used this equipment extensively in the past for this application. Please, forgive me if this is not appropriate, but I hope that you will consider it appropriate and not flame me for my ignorance Mary Grace! *** Thank you most graciously for the incredible knowledge that God has given you, and to everyone that has responded so generously to this message that we posted this past week, regarding routers for T3 circuits! I am thankful to you all for sharing your knowledge in response to such a newbie question that I was almost ashamed to ask of you. Since the last email, Mother Superior has talked to our generous contributor from the company who is a T3 circuit provider, and explained this list's advice regarding how it was such a "mismatch between a T3 in one port and a T1 in the other" and how BGP isn't really designed to perform well in a multi-homed situation with such a large difference in bandwidth between the two ports. Thanks to your advice, and the wisdom of our MS, the provider has agreed to donate to our small teaching seminary and convent TWO DS3/T3 45 Mb/s point-to-point HDLC circuits, homed into two different exchange points in two different major cities (NAPs). So, is it still true that we do not need anything more powerful than a 4500 or 4700 to run this system? I believe that is true if we take default routes advertised by the upstream on both sides, and the two diverse-path circuits ARE being advertised out of the same upstream AS, but is it still true if we were nuts enough to want to take full routes anyway from this same provider? And why would we even want to take full routes? It is true that, despite the gracious gift of the two DS3 circuits, we don't have much money to buy a router and so we want to find our what Cisco part numbers are needed for whichever model will support two DS3/T3 and one or two 100base ethernet connections into our internal IP space. Thanks again, and may God bless you all in many rich ways :-) Your most thankful and humble servant before God, Mary Grace At 03:45 PM 6/24/03 -0700, Mike wrote: >Yeah, but 3600's are at least 3-4x more expensive than a 4500 or 4700. > >Mike > >On Wed, 18 Jun 2003, Brian Thoman wrote: > >:| Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2003 10:48:26 -0400 >:| From: Brian Thoman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >:| Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >:| To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >:| Subject: [isp-bgp] Re: Newbie Cisco upgrade question, >:| apologies in advance:-) >:| >:| Wouldn't
netrange->cidr script - too many replies... thank you all
I received way too many replies on this request. I really appreciate everybody who did reply, but please no more I found what I'm looking for in duplicates and triplicates For those others also interested here is what I was pointed to (sorted by number of pointers - almost 10 for aggis and 2-5 for others): 1. aggis - http://www.utdallas.edu/~pconnally/aggis 2. Net::CIDR::range2cidr(), Net::CIDR::Lite - http://search.cpan.org/dist/Net-IP/ 3. sipcalc - http://www.routemeister.net/ 4. http://perlmonks.thepen.com/79663.html Also several people have sent me their own perl scripts that that can be adapted to do what I wanted as well (if I needed it, which does not seem necessary given number of alternatives). Thanks you for those as well. Nanog community is really very helpfull. Please keep it up! --- William Leibzon Elan Communications Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thank you
Thank you to everyone who attended NANOG 28 in Salt Lake City. We enjoyed hosting the conference and hope you enjoyed your time in Salt Lake. See you in October. Pete.
