Re: edgedirector.com
2009/11/17 Jeffrey Lyon jeffrey.l...@blacklotus.net You really can't compare EdgeDirector's network to UltraDNS which is much larger and more resilient by leaps and bounds. I've spoke with the owner of ED before and decided against using the service. Right now we're using Afilias and the price isn't much worse, the GUI is much nicer, and the network is much larger and more redundant. We recently walked out on an UltraDNS contract due to deceptive billing practices. They're a corrupt company, imho.

Re: Password repository
On Thu, 19 Nov 2009, John Adams wrote: I'm a big fan of 1password, but I'm on mac and iPhone. I'll second that. 1Password truly is fabulous, though it's strength is the Auto-website login feature with a hotkey. When in your browser, Command+Option+\, type some characters of the site or description, hit enter, and it opens your default browser, goes to the site and logs you in. Integrates on all browsers: Safari, Firefox, Opera and others. Supports secure notes, has a well designed strong password generator, can be synced over the network to multiple other computers via Dropbox (or whatever you want to use, rsync works too), and has great integration with the iPhone as well as a browser-based client for use on non-Mac computers. If you are not using a Mac, or are using a mixed bag of operating systems, 1Password is probably not best. --- Peter Beckman Internet Guy beck...@angryox.com http://www.angryox.com/ ---

Smartcard and non-password methods (was Re: Password repository)
Are any network providers supporting smartcards or other non-password based authentication methods? Passwords always end up blaming the user for choosing/not remembering good passwords instead of blaming the technology for choosing/not doing things so the user isn't forced to work around its flaws. I know about the DOD Common Access Card. One-time code-generator tokens seem more widely used by single enterprises. But inter-operable credentials still seem to be one of those great unsolved problems for compter security. Are passwords still the only lowest-common-denominator?

Re: Strip AS in BGP peer
Sherwin Ang wrote: well here it goes. we'll soon form a new internet exchange and i would like to suggest a model in the route-server wherein the route-server would strip out it's own AS and give the neighbors/peers the AS's of the members. I have seen this in Any2IX but i have no idea on how to implement it as if i am the Any2 route-server. Hi, Sherwin Sorry for the late reply. We (LONAP, London UK) have deployed our route-servers using BIRD and OpenBGPd on unix servers, rather than traditional big iron hardware for the following reasons : - Availability of the 'stripped asn' feature as you describe. - Multiple RIBs per BGP instance, so that route-server participants who filter (on the route-server) can do so without causing shadowing of prefixes. - Don't need the high-capacity forwarding - the route-servers swap prefixes, not traffic. As other posters in this thread have described, it's also possible to do this with the Quagga software, but the current codebase appears to creak (and then croak !) with scale, when multiple-ribs are enabled. This email is pretty brief; the exchange community have been discussing this and publishing talks on the subject since the beginning of the year, as our understanding of the problems of running the common open-source so I can point you to some resources that you may find interesting : Our decisions and introduction to the LONAP service : http://www.uknof.org.uk/uknof13/Davidson-LONAP_routeservers.pdf INEX (Dublin, IE) describe the per-peer RIB problem and Quagga problems : http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-58/content/presentations/Hilliard-Why_use_Quagga_for_Route_Servers.pdf LINX (London, UK) also describe the per-peer RIB problem and explain their efforts to solve the Quagga problems : http://www.uknof.org.uk/uknof13/Hughes-IXP_routeservers.pdf EuroIX route server activity report from October : http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-59/presentations/hiliard-euroix-update.pdf (Situation is more evolved now, but I don't know if more recent slides are public) The situation is likely to move quickly by the middle of next year, if there is interest it sounds like a good operational BOF for N'49.
