Catalyst6509 GE interface hang without any indication
Hi, We are using a Catalyst6509 as distribution layer switch which is connected to M160 by GE interface( OSPF run on both side).. Yesterday we noticed that no traffic occur on that GE link at some special time. When trying to ping the other side on either platform, no responds got. But, on either M160 or Catalyst6509 sh interface showed no errors information. When checking syslog, there is no error record either. We also checked the configuration record for both system, and found there is no modification in configuration at the time when link load becomes zero. As last resort, we solved this problem by shutdown GE VLAN interface on Catalyst6509, and no shut consequently, then everything come up. But, today another Catalyst6509 of our system hanged on its uplink GE. We have to restarted the box to solve. Different from the catalyst6509 hanged yesterday, this catalyst6509 have netflow-export enabled for month. ( I included the detailed info at the end ) I tried hard to find out the reason but can't find any information related on Cisco's site. Is there anybody could do me a favor to do some help? Each word will be highly appreciated. regards Joe Shen / info for the first Catalyst 6509C-SUP-hz sh ver WARNING: This product contains cryptographic features and is subject to United States and local country laws governing import, export, transfer and use.

If you actually need it, there are no other options. And if money is a primary consideration, this is not the router for you.

Interestingly the OC-768 card has a max transmit power of 5dB and is short-range optics only. As far as I know there are no 2R or 3R regeneration solutions for long haul 40Gb/s circuits, nor are there any DWDM systems that can do 8, 16 or 32 40Gb/s wavelengths.

If you need OC-768 connectivity, there is only one place to go today. If you really need it (and few do), you have the money to pay for it and a business that does not make existing hardware appropriate. I tend to suspect that the need for OC-768c is still rather limited. Most providers are primarily aggregators of massive numbers of small pipes. With almost no OC-768c Sonet gear in the field, my guess is that this gear will be used mostly by a handful of carriers who can make fiber available at minimal cost for dark fiber connectivity at major aggregation points. In the vast majority of the places where more bandwidth is needed, just adding more OC-192s (or even OC-48s) is often a more economical answer, especially if you own lots of excess fiber and/or WDM gear. As the the comments about toys, yes, our network is taxpayer funded. It is run for the USDOE with federal funding; no CA state funds are involved. It is NOT a play network. It is a full-production high availability network which provides the only access to a number of very large and, in the view of some, very important facilities. It is an unusual network in terms of the volume of point to point flows. Things like fusion and high-energy physics generate simply astonishing amounts of data. Terabytes are not uncommon. We don't need OC-768 today, but we expect to need it in the next few years. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.

It will be interesting to see if any future 40Gb/s systems will be able to keep the 15-20dB dampening budget (60-80km fiber) that most current placement of amplifier stations has been designed after (due to 10G systems having that capability). Dispersion and all the other problems will be quite interesting to see how they are solved. My guess is that multiple 10G will be the more economical path still for years to come. The big question is also how this is going to affect price as all the over capacity built in 99-01 now is being used up and what kind of prices we'll see in the market when all the second hand gear is deployed and the only future path is to buy new. One consolidation is that wide deployment of 10GE will hopefully bring down the price of optics radically as volume go up. -- Mikael Abrahamssonemail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Cisco HFR
I think this is more of an initial offering; at this speed there have to be problems with dispersion over longer distances, this would need to be solved as well as other issues before longer distances would be permissible; plus I don't know of any regen/amplifier equipment that would handle this that is on the market yet (I may be wrong). There is also the need of OC-768 speeds; I don't think the need quite there yet (Even with the nice demonstration that Cisco gave during the Web cast); OC-48 and OC-192s are still the leaders for this.

Re: Cisco HFR
Interestingly the OC-768 card has a max transmit power of 5dB and is short-range optics only. The 300-pin-MSA for OC768 has a SR spec of TX 0..+3dBm, RX min -5dBm. Dispersion is max 40ps/nm. As far as I know there are no 2R or 3R regeneration solutions for long haul 40Gb/s circuits, nor are there any DWDM systems that can do 8, 16 or 32 40Gb/s wavelengths. Incorrect. There are transponders that put a 40G signal in a 10G DWDM optical system. (You have to move a step up from morse code to make the side-bands fit..) And they atleast run in 80 chanel systems. -P
Re: OT: Avi Freeman at the WSOP
This may also be off-topic, but what's with the rumours I heard of Avi being kicked out of the conference? I'm certain there must be more to the story than that, but since Avi has been such a strong positive influence on the NANOG community for so long, I gotta ask -- J.D.

Re: Open Source BGP Route Optimization?
Does anybody happen to know of any open source project working on a BGP route optimizer like what Route Science or Internap or the likes have commercially? five minutes in google turned up the following: http://www.inlab.de/balance.html (this is a tcp proxy, not a bgp thing) http://www.stanford.edu/~schemers/docs/lbnamed/lbnamed.html (Stupid DNS Tricks) http://www.backhand.org/mod_backhand/ (an apache module for redirection) http://www.supersparrow.org/ (uses but doesn't generate bgp information) http://www.bgpdns.org/ (Stupid DNS Tricks again, but based on bgp data) probably a whole hour spent on such research would turn up even more. -- Paul Vixie

What is the range of this, how often do you need to amplify and regen the 40G signal compared to 10G? Can 10G optical amplifiers be used? -- Mikael Abrahamssonemail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
