In this case, I wonder if it's the exception rather than the norm that large carriers protect things such as their IGP then? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "This communication, including any attachments, is confidential.

Large networks all over the world run IS-IS. You won't find an abundance of information on the protocol as you would with OSPF (especially such as John Moy's OSPF book), however it's still a very popular IGP. There's an interesting draft on the differences between OSPF and ISIS which probably wouldn't have been written if IS-IS wasn't used a whole heap: http://ftp.apnic.net/ietf/internet-drafts/draft-bhatia-manral-diff-isis-osp… As for what networks are running what protocol, you're unlikely to get too much on that sort of info.

DNS TTL Problem.
by jfp 14 Apr '04

14 Apr '04

Hi guys, we currently have a problem where one of our client has have switched their dns mail and hosting over to us, but the monkeys they were with before had set the TLL at 7 days. So for example it's currently on day 5 in the Xtra dns cache. Is there anyway to speed up the process and flush those cached values? That client has of course just done send some publicity out :-) PS: The domain in question is thereef.co.nz. Thanks. jfp. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jean-Francois Pirus <jfp(a)clearfield.com> Clearfield Software Ltd Phone (+64-9) 358 2081 4th Floor 8-10 Whitaker Place Fax (+64-9) 358 2083 P O Box 2348 Auckland, New Zealand ------------------------------------------------------------------------

$1 a CPU hour to send SPAM
by Carl Black 14 Apr '04

14 Apr '04

Surprised I haven't seen this crowd mentioned here before: www.virtualmda.com basically they pay individuals $usd1.00 per hour they leave their PC available as a SPAM relay - at ~$8700 a year, that's going to be VERY tempting for lots of people. Maybe time for blanket blocks on TCP25? There's some talk about it on /. http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/04/04/14/1415217.shtml?tid=111&tid=126&tid=95&ti d=98&tid=99

Broken PC
by Richard Naylor 13 Apr '04

13 Apr '04

How to show your boss that you need a new PC. Simply demo playing some streaming video that you can find here.......http://www.r2.co.nz/20040413 I suggest you don't try this on dsl.....It works on CafeNet, but you need to leave the lappy on mains power as some of them reduce cpu capacity to save power. These video clips eat CPU capacity. Its interesting what PCs and lappys can actually play this stuff, even off their own hard drive. If there enough feedback, I'll put the files up on an http server so that you can download them. The 5 clips total around 650MBytes. An excellent demo as to why "broadband" ISN'T 256kbps....... (there is another demo coming, but we can't show you that one yet) rich

HEADS UP - upcoming webcast
by Richard Naylor 12 Apr '04

12 Apr '04

Saturday 17 April 1200Hrs Public Memorial Service for Dr Michael King and his wife at Te Papa Official hours of webcast are 1200 to 1330, but as usual it will start with a title slide etc as early as we can get it going. The streaming server will be located in Wellington and is peering on WIX. Public interest is not expected to be huge, but may be high once the webcast is publicised presumably by Te Papa. Webcast details are on www.r2.co.nz The webcast will have 5 streams - video = 384kbps, 128kbps, 56kbps audio = 56kbps, 28kbps There is also an experimental video stream at 1500kbps - It looks very good, but I doubt if anyone will be watching. Feel free to use this for a broadcast feed if needed. This stream may stress a few networks. (and run up a few massive dsl bills). Many of the technical questions are still being resolved, but it is expected that the webcast will be a multi-camera event, like the NZNOG Conference, but with higher levels of production quality. (ie a full crew and better cameras, sound, lighting etc) For further details, questions etc, contact me via email or on 021 897 089 Richard
