Well, if the best practice for CPE routers included as a matter of course the subnets "connected to internet", "local only (e.g. IoT)" and "guest network", and if they just worked, then they wouldn't mind that either. A friend of mine used to refer to this as 'refrigerator consciousness" - he was a gearhead, so it was a pejorative. Instead, I think of it as a design goal. -Randy Fischer

Mechanics of CALEA taps
Dear nanog: Honestly, I expect replies to this question to range between zero and none, but I have to ask it. I understand the CALEA tap mechanism for most ISPs, generally, works like this: * we outsource our CALEA management to company X * we don't even know there's been a request until we've gotten a bill from X. And that's the extent of it. Well, golly Slothrop, maybe someone else has started picking up the tab. Would you even know? Is that possible? Thanks, Randy Fischer

It is convenient (if provincial) for me to use the sky as the ultimate clock. Thus these adjustments.

It may be naive, but I expect due process from the USG. Just sayin' -Randy Fischer
Fwd: [Geowanking] model of the internet - need data
Hello, longtime lurker here, an acquaintance is looking for lat/long
data and I thought this group might not object to this request. (if
you do, it's my fault, not that of Anselm).

Subject: [Geowanking] model of the internet - need data
Hi folks,
I'm looking for a map of the Internet. A friend wants to project this
onto a spinny globe. I've found several pictoral representations but
I'm looking a raw data-set that geographically locates major routers
and servers. In an ideal world I'd get a database that indicates { ip
address, amount of traffic, longitude, latitude, connected to other ip
addresses } and then I could draw my own picture. Databases I have
seen do not include longitude and latitude which I something I would
need. Any leads?
I suppose even just given IP addresses I could guess longitude and
latitude location... which wouldn't be ideal but perhaps would be
acceptable.
Here's what I've seen so far,
http://www.opte.org/ -> I'll try reach out to these folks since
they seem to have the best data and are nearby.

The arithmetic here is pretty easy. So the operational plan is to try harder not to screw over your employees, could be. -Randy Fischer
