Subscribers to this list should by now be well aware that the Acceptable Use Policy begins "The NZNOG mailing list exists to provide a forum for the exchange of technical information and the discussion of implementation issues that require cooperation among New Zealand network service providers. In order to continue to provide a useful forum for discussion of relevant technical issues, users of the list are asked to respect the following guidelines. 1. Discussion will focus on Internet operational and technical issues. 2. Discussion related to meetings of network service providers is appropriate. 3. Discussion unrelated to these topics is not appropriate." This does include, for example, discussion of the way QoS features are used in carrier-class networks. But ADSL-related threads on this list have a record of quickly becoming irrelevant to the list's purpose. Let's try and keep this on topic, please. - Donald Neal NZNOG list administrator Donald Neal |Presbyopia - inability to see what Technical Specialist | bishops are for.
