(fwd) History of Internet in NZ

Off topic but this list seemed the most likely source of information to help me answer the query below. I think Jonathon Stone is now working for a US university. If anyone has any specific info on Jonathon or the old "backbone" that would be appreciated.

Well, I've just gone to 12.0(8) on a 3620, up from 11.3, and that difference is most pleasent. 11.3 did not crash, but had some, um, infelicities. I'm quite happy with 12.0(8). Of course, if you want a stable release, well the following may amuse you (although it's not strictly IOS of couse, its a Catalyst 2926).

Count me in as interested/keen, etc. I have the stuff running at home, but haven't had time to bring it into work yet. Do you want to stay with MBONE or use the H.323 stuff thats out there. My experience is that the H.323 stuff is faster and gives better results. I was planning to have an H.323 device in next week which will host a conference call, and have auto answer, and have a TV channel on it so that you can see the latency.

[dangerously off-topic] Government to Regulate Routing!
by Joe Abley 23 Feb '00

23 Feb '00

** Quite Possibly of Negligable Operational Interest ** The Herald has an article about the Telecoms review being carried out (or to be carried out, give me a break, it's early): > The inquiry's brief is to examine interconnection issues, the Kiwi Share > obligation -which guarantees free local calling - number portability > and administration, management of internet traffic and the > development of New Zealand as a knowledge economy. "Management of internet traffic" was the phrase that caught my eye. If this review strays into the issues of routing, traffic filtering and peering at the packet layer, then I am scared. Mind you, this is probably the Herald quoting some government press release, so I wouldn't necessarily expect any the terms contained within it to be accurate. Anyway, just thought I'd share this. Please feel free to return to your usual network-wrangling activities. --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

NZNOG-People, Yes, it seems restricting postings to subscribed addresses does create substantial inconvenience. I have now turned this off again.

RE: More on DDOS Attacks

At one stage we tried 12.0(5)T on 5 different boxes, all five failed with different faults ;-) 12.0(7)T1 is apparently the last in the 12.0T stream with 12.1 being its replacement (apparently within a couple of weeks). I think you should go to 12.0(7)T1 if you need T features.

Speaking of the stablity of different IOS versions, we have a 3640 with 12.0(4)T on it that needs rebooting after about 7 weeks of uptime. Starts spamming the console port with memory allocation failures, although still manages to route stuff. It's not a particullarly odd setup, just routing between a couple of FE ports, but we are using dynamic packet filtering on it, ala "permit ... reflect outbound". Ring any bells for anyone? Couldn't see anything that jumped out at me in the later release notes, and wasn't keen on an upgrade just to "try it out".. -- David Zanetti <dave2(a)earthling.net> | (__) Mr Moo says: Moderator, nz.politics.announce | ( oo #include <geek/unix.h> | /L_= ...
