Re: Talk about 'Network Measurements at Sprint, AS 1239'

Hi Jamie: > Have you come across a similar project by RIPE? > http://www.ripe.net/test-traffic/ > > Are the two trying to achieve the same objectives with different approaches > in terms of scale and distribution? (Though to me RIPE has the edge as is > appears to measure IPDV) Yes. RIPE test traffic provides data about Internet links between their 'test boxes;' RIPE NCC offer it as a (charged for) service to ISPs who are RIPE members. I agree, it's an interesting project - their web pages http://www.ripe.net/ttm/index.html are well worth a look. The Sprint work is concerned with measuring and understanding the way traffic behaves in their backbone, and how that information can be used to imnprove backbone behaviour, for example by using it to tune IS-IS link weights. > Nevertheless, some very interesting statistical information found at > http://ipmon.sprint.com Cheers, Nevil ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Nevil Brownlee Director, Technology Development Phone: +64 9 373 7599 x88941 ITSS, The University of Auckland FAX: +64 9 373 7021 Private Bag 92019, Auckland, New Zealand ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through University of Auckland http://www.auckland.ac.nz/ - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

more on the PDP-11
by Richard Naylor 21 Jan '03

21 Jan '03

I should have mentioned its not small. The basic 2 disk machine is a 1.2m rack. I normally stack the 3rd disk and floppy on top, making a 5 foot rack. In my box of bits there maybe some MicroVax cpus as well. Theres also a few backplanes, so you can probably build a 2nd or 3rd machine. There is also a real DEC VT100 And for those of you who think "in car computers" (&MP3 players) are cool, I had an in car PDP-11 probably before you were born. rich - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Anyone looking to 2U cases ?
by Mark Frater 20 Jan '03

20 Jan '03

Hi List, I've tried getting 2U 19" wide by (only) 19" deep cases from Procase, but they don't have any and can't get them. Unless anyone knows a NZ source for these, I am intending to get some from Taiwan. US$200 including 400W PSU. Takes standard ATX mobo, comes with 3PCI riser card. We have some units in production already and they have been fine. Contact me off list if you are interested and we can split the shipping and import charges.

Reporting NZNOG activities at APRICOT
by Philip Smith 19 Jan '03

19 Jan '03

Hi, Apologies for non-operational content, but I was wondering if anyone from New Zealand would be going to APRICOT 2003 in Taipei (www.apricot2003.net) If you don't already know, APRICOT is the Asia Pacific's annual Internet Operations conference, tutorial and workshop event; it is also hosts APNIC's open policy meeting, as well as the meetings of many other AP internet related organisations. I'm co-chair of APOPS (www.apops.net) the AP region's operator mailing list (intended to work along the same lines as NANOG, AfNOG, and EOF). The APOPS meeting will be held as part of APRICOT on Wednesday 26th, and I think it would be great if someone from the New Zealand Internet community could give a short (max 15 minutes) presentation on local Internet activities. I'm not looking for anything fantastically detailed, just a general FYI style overview of what's going on. If anyone is interested in helping with this, and is going to APRICOT, please let me know. thanks a lot! philip -- - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

And I'll add to that a question about RSTS... it has AUI. the real ethernet. Sorry no *ix for it, nor RSTS. I mainly did real time stuff and that meant RSX or RT-11 (which is what MS-DOS was modelled on, not to confuse with the IBM-360-DOS, or the many other DOS's out there in those days. Add TSX to RT-11 and you have a good clone of RSTS. It has a similar multi login thingy per terminal like Linux . Oh theres more... DRV-11 - parallel interface - if you like building stuff or doing nuclear device testing Analog devices isolated input A/D converter several serial devices (synch) several serial devices (asynch) with modem controls. And no, I'm not parting with my industrial-11 (aka PDP-11/05) front panel with the flashing lights. there were only two of those in NZ if that. rich - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Kosmos was actually 3 different machines. The first was a Vax 750 from the MED (We merged MED and WCC data centers - thats when the fiber got started), the second was a MicroVaxII (later a small cluster) and finally a MicroVax 3400. While I closed CityNet down, I didn't dispose of the gear, I was working in Economic Development by then and it wasn't my issue. I know it stayed active for some time as it was the main dial in box for WCC staff rich - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

OT: Surplus equipment available
by Richard Naylor 18 Jan '03

18 Jan '03

Howdy all, I have some mature equipment available. 1x PDP 11/73 (also 11/23 and 11/03 processors) 4 MB RAM (i think - lots of other modules) 8 serial ports (DLV-11J - no modem controls) 2x 8 inch floppy RX-01 (128k I think) 3x RL01 Removable disk drives (5MB each) (lots of cartridges/packs) 1x DEQNA ethernet lotsa other modules, including a unibus tester and Q-bus stalk card (for scoping cards) I also have a Tape drive controller and a card reader, altho VUW currently have the card reader. It currently runs RT-11/TSX and I also have copies of RSX-11M V3.2 or V4. There is word processing (Lex-11) Fortran and Basic and probably others I've forgotten. An old DECUS database manager. And yes it has games like Space Invaders and Adventure (read "Soul of a New MAchine by Tracey Kidder") My kids grew up with it, so theres a classy menu system that asks quiz questions everytime you select something, especially the games. I think theres my old UUCP mail system on it as well as a DECUS one that doesn't network. Its all original DEC kit complete with service manuals and circuit diagrams and diagnostic progs. I used to work for a DEC OEM, so its been well looked after. Any interest ? rich - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

NZNOG 2003 - Vote Count So Far
by Donald Neal 16 Jan '03

16 Jan '03

Days since I asked people who expect to attend to express a preference: 8 Preferring UniForum: 8 Preferring Waikato: 8 Will attend either, not worried: 2 Volunteering to help: 1 The University of Waikato expect an attendance from them which is about five higher if the Waikato option is chosen. I don't see a clear outcome here. I think I'll go on holiday. Then again, what if we did both - UniForum NZ in July 2003 and Waikato in February 2004? - Donald Neal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "This communication, including any attachments, is confidential.
