Hi Neil, > PPPOE Access Concentrator that can easily keep up with > 100Mbit of PPPOE throughput at large sizes, and preferably > all sizes. Any and all brands or thoughts considered. Best bet is an ERX, for so many reasons. You could probably get away with a 7200 with an NPE-400 as a bare minimum, but you'd be happier with a NPE-G1 and almost certainly happiest with the ERX. > In addition, who would be the best people to validate a bit > of equipment for this requirement (assuming we don't end up > buying calibrated and certified test gear). Validate? People? Certification of the smartbits\ixia or of the router you'll be using? I don't recall ever having our test beds validated at the vendor I used to work for, course we never sold any routers either, so that's neither here nor there... ;-) Cheers, b

PPPOE Performance testing question
by neil gardner 14 Sep '04

14 Sep '04

Sorry if this is offtopic but I think it's close enough :-) We'll be needing to do some performance testing of a product shortly and while we have most of the bits we need (Ixias, smartbits etc) I was wondering if someone could point me to a PPPOE Access Concentrator that can easily keep up with 100Mbit of PPPOE throughput at large sizes, and preferably all sizes. Any and all brands or thoughts considered. In addition, who would be the best people to validate a bit of equipment for this requirement (assuming we don't end up buying calibrated and certified test gear).

Notification of NZRR Database changes
by NZRR Database Notifications 12 Sep '04

12 Sep '04

Dear Colleague, This is to notify you that some object(s) in NZRR database which you either maintain or are listed as to-be-notified have been added, deleted or changed. These objects are used to configure the APE and/or WIX route servers so you can expect the relevant servers to be reloaded in the near future. The reloading of the servers is staggered over a period of time so that if you are peering with both servers, you will maintain at least one BGP session at all times and consequently a full set of APE and/or WIX routes. The update causing these changes had the following mail headers: - From: Andy Linton <asjl(a)citylink.co.nz> - Cc: - Subject: - Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2004 17:18:49 +1200 (NZST) - Msg-Id: <Pine.LNX.4.58.0409131717300.2671(a)jennings.citylink.co.nz> NZRR Database Notification Department --- PREVIOUS OBJECT: route-set: AS9439:RS-ROUTES:AS23754 descr: Route set for Citylink to WIX members: 203.118.144.0/24, 198.48.0.0/22^22-24, 202.8.44.0/22^22-24, 203.97.231.224/28, 210.48.103.0/28, 210.48.103.144/28, 210.48.103.136/29, 203.79.85.80/29, 202.7.4.32/28 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ notify: rpsl-admin(a)ape.net.nz notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz changed: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz 20040112 changed: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz 20040303 changed: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz 20040322 changed: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz 20040407 changed: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz 20040525 changed: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz 20040617 changed: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz 20040622 changed: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz 20040629 changed: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz 20040813 changed: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz 20040816 changed: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz 20040909 source: NZRR REPLACED BY: route-set: AS9439:RS-ROUTES:AS23754 descr: Route set for Citylink to WIX members: 203.118.144.0/24, 198.48.0.0/22^22-24, 202.8.44.0/22^22-24, 203.97.231.224/28, 210.48.103.0/28, 210.48.103.144/28, 210.48.103.136/29, 203.79.85.80/29, 203.109.195.72/29, 202.7.4.32/28 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ notify: rpsl-admin(a)ape.net.nz notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz changed: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz 20040112 changed: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz 20040303 changed: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz 20040322 changed: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz 20040407 changed: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz 20040525 changed: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz 20040617 changed: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz 20040622 changed: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz 20040629 changed: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz 20040813 changed: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz 20040816 changed: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz 20040909 changed: rpsl-admin(a)wix.net.nz 20040913 source: NZRR

Looking Glass and BGP routing tables archive and script available for use
by Adrian Smith 12 Sep '04

12 Sep '04

we are now providing a router Looking Glass service for general use. http://ampz-natlib.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/mrlg-natlib.cgi With ping, trace, and BGP routing table data available, from a Wellington router connected to, and peering with WIX/CityLink and Telecom. Also provided are a few scripts which will pull the same BGP routing table data, diff the tables and store the files in an archive every hour, and then create and update hourly, daily, weekly and monthly reports. These routing table data files are available to view individually, or are down-loadable as a month or year to date tar.gz and tar.bz2 files and may be of use to network research organisations. Only data from 09/09/2004 is available right now, but four weeks worth will be added from a test server over the next week. The idea is to build up some N.Z. Domestic BGP routing tables data history, before the rumored de-peering changes mentioned previously on nznog to WIX and APE, which are due to happen on November 1st 2004 ? These scripts are free to download and use, but are only any use if you run BGP routers. You will then be able to collect your BGP routing table data, before it disappears?; and maybe share it with others on nznog. You can look at the various diff reports to see how your network(s) are being advertised, and see any changes that are taking place, and this may help with diagnosing routing problems. full details at http://ampz-natlib.natlib.govt.nz Adrian Smith National Library of New Zealand t
