Its a part of our policy of encouraging an environment of open experimentation in the area of interoperability, especially between vendors.

Optical Gig NICs
by J S Russell 18 Jul '01

18 Jul '01

Possibly slightly off topic, but does anyone (Hi Richard! Hi Si!) know of a New Zealand source for gigabit nics (optical, not copper) which are (a) not priced at defence department levels, and (b) supported by linux?

IPv6...Fact or Fiction?
by Craig Whitmore 18 Jul '01

18 Jul '01

Hi people.... When do people think we (the Internet) will run out of IPv4 addresses and people will be forced to move over and use IPv6? Or will people use the IPv4 addresses in a much more conservative way? Do you think it will really take off in the near future? Has there really been a standardized IPV6 Format yet? Has anyone actually used it in a production enviornment? Should I "Apply" for some IPv6 addreeses now or will there be plenty of time to implement it?

Julian Angelo

NZNOG People, Just over a year ago, there was discussion on this list of spamming by one Julian Angelo. He has now approached me, asking to have these references removed from the NZNOG archive. It seems that prospective employers who look up his name on the web find these archive entries, a fact which may not be helping his career any. If any network operator has an objection to these entries being removed from the archive, could they please contact me directly.

What chipset do the ones you have use? Last time I shifted a file from the edit pc to the server (both on GbE) it took 6 minutes for 1.6 Gig. I wonder if I can get a GbE PC card for the laptop ? Ah.. this is why I say decent card. I expect a 100mbps card to run at 100mbps or very near to it. 1.6G in 6 minutes, that's 4.5 megabytes/s or so? Earlier this year I did some testing or various NICs and could sustain over 12 megabytes/s for several hours, even when this data came off a disk one one machine and onto a disk on another machine. is that using that RAW NIC to NIC option in the linux kernel? <<snipped>> --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

There seem to be a few lessons one can learn from this. 1) Don't spam 2) Don't spam ISPs 3) In case of 1 or 2 apologise 4) Asking for archives to be removed is a bad idea 5) Asking a group of system admins to remove archives is a *really* bad idea 6) This is because anything that can be found about you will and has been 7) Also because the discussion on your request leads to 30 times as many hits as the original thread 8) Juha does have too much time on his hands 9) Refer to 1 10) There is no 10.

Just an observation... In requesting the archive purge, a whole new thread of discussion relating to this topic is currently being created... Therefore, the next request will be for the current discussion to be purged... ad infinitum! This leads to the obvious paradox that the only way to undo history is to travel back in time and not do what should not have been did in the first place! ;) Another observation... An apology post would also be recorded in the archives.

I have also read about this person . If he could come up with a good reason and apology he could have his sentence shortened by the ISP Justice system. Spam is Spam and from what I know he did quite the nice job of it all . Sincere apologies time.
