Re: conference bandwidth (Whistler)
Probably your only options for something short term like that would be telus or shaw. I would contact them both directly or perhaps go through the account that has the hotel connection. matthew zeier wrote: I'll be hosting a 500 person conference in Whistler this July. The hotel we're looking at only has a 30Mbps pipe from Telus. Looking for recommendations on someone who can get me 100Mbps for a week. - mz -- Tim Lampman Co-Owner/CTO *Broadline Networks Inc.* 57 Colborne Street West, Brantford, ON, N3T 1K6 *p.* 1-866-546-8486 *c.* 905-746-3114 www.broadlinenetworks.com <http://www.broadlinenetworks.com/> | t...@broadlinenetworks.com <mailto:t...@broadlinenetworks.com>
Re: Housing situations sought for the family of Reynold Guerrier
Eric Brunner-Williams wrote: Naturally, I didn't make all the local connections I could have before I needed them when I went to NANOG-45, graciously hosted by Terremark. I think it is unlikely that any of the three paths -- parole from Homeland Security, visa from State, and Congressional action, are likely to occur within finite time. Not only is the situation on the ground profoundly difficult, but we constantly encounter questions about the necessity of network continuity at all, or the value of any one person maintaining the operational integrity of the NAP/IXP/uW relay serving the Haitian government, on-site NGOs, and cellular traffic. So I'm turning again to the Operator Community for help. If you have contacts in the DR that could help Reynold's wife Dominique and their children, Nikki, age 3, and Aurelia, age 1, please send them to me. Housing for four. When Dominique and the kids are secure, Reynold is going back to the data center in Boutillers, which consists of the microwave relay to the Dominican Republic, the Internet Exchange point (IX) he normally operates, and Network Access Point (NAP), since the event. There is no other skilled person present. Basically, Reynold has inherited the entire facility, as the operator of the IXP hosted in the larger data center, and some technicians, who he now provides for and manages. The distance from Port au Prince to Santo Domingo is 5 hours, road condition and boarder control time included. Eric I have forwarded this to several friends that are currently in the DR. Two of them are involved with housing/building projects. Hopefully someone they know there is able to help out. I'll contact you off list if I get any information. -- Tim Lampman Co-Owner/CTO *Broadline Networks Inc.* 57 Colborne Street West, Brantford, ON, N3T 1K6 *p.* 1-866-546-8486 *c.* 905-746-3114 www.broadlinenetworks.com <http://www.broadlinenetworks.com/> | t...@broadlinenetworks.com <mailto:t...@broadlinenetworks.com>
Re: New netblock Geolocate wrong (Google)

Re: CRTC rules on Traffic Management Practices

They ignore many other rulings every day, why would this one be any different. The issue that interests me most is the reputed filtering and throttling performed by these companies for broadband L2 connections backhauled to ISP's doing the L3 on them, such as with ATM or L2TP. In that scenario, a broadband user who is a customer of Mom'N'Pop ISP is getting throttled by a third party providing a L2 backhaul. From what you have posted, this would now require prior approval. As I feel strongly that this behavior is quite wrong and should not happen, I am encouraged by these rules. Joe It would appear this is how it should be, however the track record of Bell heeding the CRTC's rulings has not been good. Last year Bell was ordered to offer matching speeds to their wholesale GAS customers to that of their retail offerings, they simply never complied. This ruling only applies to time sensitive traffic, most of which Bell does not currently throttle. While I think most people would agree that its completely wrong to throttle the traffic of a third party wholesale customer, the reality is that Bell does this every day and will continue to do so regardless of what the CRTC tells them. -- Tim Lampman Co-Owner/CTO *Broadline Networks Inc.* 57 Colborne Street West, Brantford, ON, N3T 1K6 *c.* 905-746-3114 www.broadlinenetworks.com <http://www.broadlinenetworks.com/> | t...@broadlinenetworks.com <mailto:t...@broadlinenetworks.com>

ISP actions affecting content According to the Telecommunications Act, a telecommunications company must obtain the Commission’s prior approval to “control the content or influence the meaning or purpose of telecommunications” carried over its network. The Commission does not consider such disruptive actions to be proper Internet traffic management practices, and they will always require prior approval. An ISP would therefore need to seek the Commission’s approval before it implemented a practice that would: block the delivery of content to an end-user, or slow down time-sensitive traffic, such as videoconferencing or Internet telephone (Voice over Internet Protocol) services, to the extent that the content is degraded. When faced with these requests, the Commission will only grant its approval in the most exceptional cases. The email marketing lobby already got the legislation watered down on the spam front, but does this in essence say that ISP's are no longer allowed to block email content, viruses et al?

I can't really find anything much on X6148A internal architecture online, but it would seem that each port gets its own 1gb/s link to the card/backplane, and that the bottleneck then is the 32gb/s backplane (which is fine, as long as it's not 1 gb/s per each set of 8 ports!).
