 solution is IPv6.

I do expect some of these workarounds to be vendor and/or 
platform specific, as more units are deployed and the 
industry simply can't keep up with the various topologies 
and customer elasticities ISP's have to maintain.

We're already seeing evidence of this as we discuss NAT64 
options with vendors, particularly in the area of scale and 
customer experience perceptions.

Certainly a consideration when an ISP considers scaling 
avenues for LSN's.

The issue is that there are simply too many variables, not 
least of which is what business the ISP is in.

The mobile types are a lot more problematic because they 
tend to centralize IP intelligence, and keep the RAN's 
pretty simple (although the RAN's are now becoming more 
intelligent thanks to your garden-variety IP vendors getting 
into the game). What we've seen also, with some mobile 
carriers, is that if you ask them to consider distributed IP 
architectures, they/you quickly realize that IP routing 
isn't really their core business or skill.

For your typical ISP, size notwithstanding, it will 
invariably come down to how much money and effort they're 
willing to spend or save with either centralized or 
distributed architectures. Mind you, they're also battling 
with other problems re: centralized or distributed 
solutions, e.g., broadband aggregation, the ratio of 
access:aggregation intelligence, access topology lay-outs, 
e.t.c. And somehow, in all this mix, LSN's must work, be 
they small units thrown around the network, or one or two 
large monsters sitting somewhere in the core.

We've certainly considered both options very thoroughly.

So DigiNotar lost their browser trusted  root CA status.  That

A cross-sign with CA:TRUE  is  just as good as being installed in

There is no inherent reason that technical limitations cannot be

if the original CA certificates were issued with restrictions:
  http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3280#section-4.2.1.11

Special limitations or  security warnings  can be raised by

I would be in favor of each  root CA certificate being name
constrained to  CNs of one TLD  per CA  certificate,  so that root CA
orgs would need a separate CA cert and separate private key for each
TLD  that CA is authorized to issue certificates in.
It would be useful if the name restriction would be extended further
to allow  2nd level wildcards to be prohibited such as  CN=*.com
or   CN=*.*.com

Browsers will honor * in hostname components of the CN field as
required by the RFCs.. however  a  *.mydomain.tld  certificate
does not match www.mydomain.tld, *.*.mydomain.tld  does.

Some CAs have partaken in problematic practices such  as issuing SSL
certificates with  RFC1918 IP addresses,
or  unofficial  TLDs  in the CN or  subject alternative names  section.
see   
https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA:Problematic_Practices#Issuing_SSL_Certificates_for_Internal_Domains

If all the root CA certificates become name constrained,  such
problematic practices should cease.

Ip mobility via gtp or mobile ip generally does not work when you nat at the
'edge'.  If you don't want your ip address to change every time you change
cell sites, the nat has to be centralized.

 Anyone worried about major weather events in the UK is probably best
either checking or subscribing to the Met Office's weather warnings at
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/beta/weather/warnings/ rather than
relying on a US source (and vice-versa for US weather).

If worried about flooding, the Environment Agency's Flood Warnings are
what you're after at
http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/floods/31618.aspx.

Both Weather Warnings and Flood Warnings come in three flavours,
yellow, amber and red.  Red is the danger to life / take action level.

Currently, there is an amber 'be prepared' weather warning out for
Monday for some areas of the UK.

Currently the country wide detail is:
Weather Report
Stormy weather heading for the UK
The forecast team at the Met Office are continuing to keep an eye on
the remains of Hurricane Katia as it moves across the Atlantic Ocean.
Currently the storm lies just southeast of Newfoundland in Canada, but
it is expected to rapidly move towards northwestern parts of the UK
during the next 36 to 48 hours, arriving on Monday morning. Please see
our warnings page for further details. Issued at 1346 on Sat 10 Sep
2011.

And the warning itself
Issued at: 10 Sep 2011, 1138
Valid from: 12 Sep 2011, 
Valid to: 12 Sep 2011, 2359
The remains of Hurricane Katia are expected to come across the UK on
Monday bringing a spell of wet and very windy weather. There remains
some uncertainty about its track and intensity, although Scotland and
Northern Ireland are most likely to bear the brunt of the winds, The
public should be prepared for the risk of disruption to transport and
of the possibility of damage to trees and structures.

Chief Forecaster's Assessment
Forecast models continue to show some differences in the handling of
the transition of hurricane Katia to an intense extra tropical
depression, though with increasing agreement that the centre will pass
close to the north of Scotland on Monday, bringing strongest winds to
Scotland and Northern Ireland. There is the potential for 60-70 mph
gusts and 80 mph or more could occur over exposed coasts and hills.
Heavy rain will be an additional hazard for the same regions, with as
much as 50-100mm possible over parts of western Scotland.


So not too bad really in the overall scheme of things.

Alex
