When I worked for NeoPets in the summer of 2000 they had a server farm about
that size. It was behind a NetFoundry (I think) Load Balancer at the time.
Perhaps their load balancer died and they had to get back up in a hurry.

This is often used for server pools (as I'm guessing you know).

The South Asian Network Operators Group (SANOG) held their first
meeting in Kathmandu, Nepal, a few weeks ago. By any standards the
meeting was a great success, and plans are already being made for
Maybe it's just me, but isn't there something odd about a DNS query
coming back with 78 entries for the same host? It sends back an UDP
packet that gets truncated and the DNS resolver reverts to TCP to get

It seems to cause problems with Windows clients and/or Windows DNS
servers.

off-list, I will summarize if there is any interest.
I have a client that
is looking to use an inexpensive FastEthernet over DS3 bridge solution for one
of their clients. I quickly located two bridges/switches that do this, a)
RAD's RIC-T3/ETH and b) DS3SWITCH.COM's line.

All,
Thanks for your comments. There were a couple of instances of an average
based billing scheme, but for the most part the comments did not indicate
this to be a wide-spread practice.
I was interested in the question due to a claim by a potential customer that

NDsoftware does not exist, at least as a company in France. It is *not*
registered in any French directory of companies (check it out:

Sure. As long as your math is correct it does not matter how do you
calculate your bill.

Folks: in working on a project it has come to my attention that WorldCom
doesn't seem to have a DWDM network to speak of, and reportedly has spotty
DWDM coverage only in metro areas, a fact well hidden from company's
marketing literature that seems to avoid talking about speeds above oc-3.

Is there anyone else out there that seems to be reporting issues with
sprint in chicago?
In the last hour, i've had 1/2 dozen customers seeming to be calling with
issues across some stuff in chicago.
Trying to see if this is a sprint problem or a my problem.
Thanks!

I know that Peer 1 offers that. http://www.peer1.net. I've talked with
Bonnie Poirier, and she's very helpful. They offer both average use,
and 95th percentile.

Well, not to be nit-picky, but that wouldn't strictly be averaging, then.

We look at an mrtg graph and pick a nice spot on the graph that looks like
it is pushing enough bandwidth. We call this the "eye-ball averaging"
method. No compl

Average is just a function of total and time, and time progresses linearly
with time, so average x some $ figure
At this exact moment we bill by average, but we're considering a switch to
95%, though lately I've gotten tired of fighting with customers when they
get a bandwidth bill, so we might just do away with measured bandwidth and
go with capped across the board.
