I think time is a more relivant metric than skill in this case.

Regrettably, the offer of an MBONE connection that was made to me has been withdrawn, due to a lack of response from the New Zealand community, specifically regarding candidates to provide MBONE administration and bandwidth. I thank James Tyson, Roger de Salis, Rich Taylor, Andy Linton, Michael Sutton, and Shane Cole for their efforts and expressions of serious interest and support - especially Roger for the generous offer of a router, and Rich for providing rack space. Given such support I will certainly do my best to locate another major MBONE feedpoint for New Zealand; it is disappointing, though, this opportunity has passed NZ by. -- Josh Bailey (joshbailey(a)lucent.com) --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Of course, I meant to type, Naylor. My apologies, Rich, especially in light of your assistance. -- Josh Bailey (joshbailey(a)lucent.com) --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

At the time this was raised, I offered colo in the cabinet next to the APE, IPv4 transit and some admin...

If there's a donated router going, send it up and I'll get it installed. Finding an upstream tunnel termination point is not hard, and we can get something sorted out quickly once we have a box installed.

I'm still not entirely sure why :) Joe --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

You did, that's true, I apologise for not thanking you - thank you. :-) You must've let your CoJ membership lapse, let me resubscribe you. ;-) I believe the concern though was someone providing address space and bandwidth. Are you/do you represent someone who would pay for the bandwidth?

Finding a tunnel point is not hard, true. Having one supported and supplied by the chief multicast architect at the world's largest service provider, is. -- Josh Bailey (joshbailey(a)lucent.com) --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Yes, at least for a trial period. If we start to suck down gigs on an hourly basis, then some reassessment might be in order, but my limited experience suggests that there is unlikely to be a monstrous volume of data flowing down over this tunnel at least in the short-to-medium term.

A tunnel's a tunnel, surely. The customer base of the endpoint maintainer is interesting and impressive and everything, though :) The key to organising this kind of thing is to have everything installed and ready to go before we start calling in favours from people to set up tunnels.

That's great news!

Well, TBH, my limited experience has been the opposite. However, I do use multicast apps from Internet2-fed UC Berkeley. :-)

That wasn't my point; if you're going to connect to the MBONE, why not connect right off a major provider with some grunt rather than a dogleg off some out of the way twig-connected SGI under someone's desk. ;)

I would agree that's part of it. However, I did have limited time to get an unusually good seriously-engineered connection. That opportunity is gone, however. I could also request a feed from UC Berkeley or LBL. Both are literally less than 10 minutes walk away, and I have contacts there as well; though it sounds you might already have access to a connection - in which case, I'd be ringing Roger to ask him when he can bring the router around. :) I'm really glad to see you take this up. I was really dispairing of anything happening. -- Josh Bailey (joshbailey(a)lucent.com) --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
