Re: RIP: Bill Manning

I also had the good fortune of working with Bill. I learned a lot from him, both while he was officially our vendor, and afterwards, when he was always ready and willing to provide insight and advice when I asked. He was absolutely one of those rare individuals who would never hesitate to help out

My first internet connection was some generic 2400baud.I had software support for MNP 5, which probably claims speeds up to 9600 bps? {perfomance in the lab with pretty cooperative factors like noise when squirrels eat through the protective coatings, and then chew up the actual wire, and at least

Level3 worldwide emergency upgrade?

Does anyone have details on tonight's apparent worldwide emergency router upgrade? All I managed to get out of the portal was 30 minutes, "Service Affecting" (no kidding?) and the NOC line gave me the recording about it and disconnected me. -R>

Noction?

gotten a few cold calls from Noction. All I see is some PR about BGP happiness and good feelings with no technical hints about what they actually have to offer. They haven't even hit me directly, rather seem to be chasing us down via corporate listings, so are giving me not-confident feelings I sho

Traffic shaping going on?

Doesn't seem directly correlated with outages, and everything seems to be working ok, but I'm seeing about a 20-30% shift in flows from AS7792 to AS3356. Seems unlikely that many ISPs have suddenly turned up a level3 link on the same day/hour, and performance metrics all seem normal. I confess I've

Re: Comcast contact

agreed this isn't the case based on what I've seen based on my latest former employer(s). Comcast is playing by the (generally agreed upon) rules. what I have been seeing is a lot of other route optimizations changing as other providers consolidate routing among latest acquisitions. And of course,

Re: do ISPs keep track of end-user IP changes within thier network?

been a while, but seems like lately it's more a question of how long. ISPs can be in position where they need to, but as things have consolidated, seems like they'd really like to forget it as soon as they can. If you've got a specific case in mind, likely best to find a direct contact and get a re

Re: comcast business service

They often say everything looks okay. I can recall one conversation where the tech said he was talking to my modem and there were no problems all the way to it. I replied that it was unplugged in my hand because I had done so to read the serial number to him, so he couldn't be talking to it. Servic

Anyone else suddenly getting shaped/throttled by comcast this morning?

Looks to have started at almost exactly 8am Eastern, though in our case it's mostly west coast traffic(dst to comcast retail customers), so seems unlikely to be aftermath of storm damage, unless someone didn't look very closely at their traffic before noodling things. Still, coming up on 3 hours my

I used to work for Postini, but have long since lost touch with pretty much everyone there. I'm actually surprised this didn't happen sooner.
