Und zwar _vollstaendig_ ausgehandelt wurden. Ich rechne nicht paketweise
die Routingtabelle durch.

Und auch nicht rechnen muessen. Genauer: Ueberhaupt nicht rechnen muessen.
Noch genauer: Der Prozessor schreibt die DLCI in das Adressregister
und holt sich den Eintrag fuer die Folge-DLCI und den Outgoing Port.
Und wenn Du, wie bei ATM, konstante Zellenlaenge hast, hast
Du als Registerbreite die Zellenlaenge und schreibst genau
eine Zelle in Dein Zellenregister, machst anschliessend einen
Zugriff im Speicher, und schiebst das Ding wieder raus.
Der Aufwand beim IP-Routing, eine Routingtable durchzumatchen,
vielleicht hast Du ja luxurioeserweise noch ein Cache, evtl.
ein Paket neu zu fragmentieren, weil sich das Medium aendert
(was bei ATM und anderen Cell-Switching Protokollen kein Problem
ist, da ist halt die Synchronbandbreite Point to Point eine
jeweils andere, so what, aber schiebe mal IP von Ethernet
auf FDDI, oder _noch_ _schlimmer_: Mach das mal _umgekehrt_!).
Du tust effektiv erheblich weniger.

Gibt es dazu Info? Das kenne ich leider nicht!
Aber das obige skaliert wunderbar.

Das ist ein wichtiger Einwand, und darueber wird man nachdenken
muessen. Ich habe ja nicht gesagt, dass ich alles fertig habe.
Eine Verbindungssicherung braucht man.
Der Layer 3 wuerde aber voll entfallen. Und die Verbindungssicherung
kann sinnvoller laufen als der klassische Layer 4. Die ist naemlich
gar nicht mal so gut, wenn Du das in der Realitaet siehst.
Im uebrigen gibt es Protokolle wie IPX und aufliegende, in denen Verbindungs-
_sicherung_ im Sinne von Fehlerpruefung nicht stattfindet. Wenn
dort auf dem Medium ein Fehler auftritt, hast Du eine Katastrophe.
(Und die habe ich mehrfach erlebt und ich kann nur jedem raten,
von IPX/SPX over Frame Relay die Finger zu lassen, wie ich
im Posting zu Lars geschrieben habe.)
Da ist eine offene Flanke, die ist aber auch gegenwaertig
im WAN Bereich nicht dicht.
Man hat da weithin nich kapiert, dass FR (das gegenwaertige
Standard-WAN-Protokoll) per Design X.25 light ist, sondern
erwartet heute noch, dass die Leitungen so abgesichert sind,
wie unter X.25.
Das ist uebrigens auch ein Uebersetzungsproblem.
Der Layer 2 heisst im Amerikanischen: Logical Link Layer.
Schau mal in die Deutsche Literatur, da heisst der _immer_
Daten_sicherungs_schicht. Die ganze X.25 Welt geht davon
aus, dass die Daten_integritaet_ auf Layer 2 sichergestellt wird,
waehrend der Transport Layer nur noch die Aufteilung von
Datenstroemen in Pakete macht.
Und ich merke das zur Zeit sehr schmerzlich, dass eben hier
die Datenintegritaet _nicht_ befriedigend ist und von TCP dann
mit Aufwand und sehr ineffizient hergestellt wird.

Das kommt nicht vor, weil der Client die Daten zellgerecht
bereitstellt. Der SAR (Segmentation and Reassembly Sublayer)
ist klar dem Endgeraet zugeordnet.
(_Der_ wesentliche Vorteil von ATM gegenueber FR ist die strikt
konstante Zellgroesse.)
Bei TCP/IP moppelst Du hier uebrigens oft doppelt. Sofern Du
nicht fuer jede Verbindung die Transport MTU bestimmst (was Du
natuerlich brav immer tust ;-)) sondern die MTU gemaess Deiner
LAN-Architektur nimmst, paketierst Du einmal nach LAN MTU,
und die arme Sau von Router, die von Token Ring nach Ethernet
muss, weiss auf einmal, was Packet Queues sind ;-)

Es ist leider nicht ganz irrelevant. Spaetestens dann nicht, wenn
sich die zwischenliegenden Schichten auswirken, z.B. im Fehlerfall.
Aber auch dann, wenn z.B. QoS zur Sprache kommt, und da scheitert
die gesamte Diskussion schlicht daran, dass ich den QoS von Layer
4 nicht auf Layer 2 bringe. An dieser Stelle breche ich Voice over IP
auch immer sofort ab. Das Bundespatentamt nimmt auch kein Perpetuum
Mobile mehr an.

Das ist richtig. Es geht hier bei der Fehlerkorrektur darum,
dass die Daten, die _ankommen_ auch _korrekt_ sein muessen.

Ich fahre damit ueberhaupt nicht gut, genauer sogar saubeschissen.
Best Effort Delivery ist zwar eine Bankrotterklaerung der 60er Jahre.
Aber ich habe _taeglich_ Diskussionen mit Kunden, die eben
nicht laenger bereit sind, Best Effort Delivery hinzunehmen.
Im "The Internet" Bereich mag das gehen.
Aber ich muss hier leider Unternehmen _intern_ vernetzen. Und wenn
ich da das Wort Best Effort nur in den Mund nehme, brauche ich
die Tuer nicht mehr zu suchen. Da fliege ich naemlich mitsamt
Stuhl zusammenraus, wenn der EDV Chef beim Kunden schlechte Laune hat...
Das Thema wird auf uns zukommen, dass wir _zugesicherte_ Lieferung
mit _zugesicherter_ Qualitaet und _zugesicherter_ maximaler
Fehlerrate haben.
Heute realisieren Kunden bereits ihre Belegarchivierung mit zentralen
Servern. Da muss ich _sicherstellen_, dass Belege inhaltlich
einwandfrei ankommen, bzw. da das de facto nicht geht, wir
haben keinen Laplaceschen Daemon oder dergl., muss ich bereit
sein, schriftlich zu garantieren, dass bei der Datenuebertragung
von dezentralen Daten auf einen zentralen Server maximal, say,
eines von 10 Millionen Dokumenten fehlerhaft wird. Ich weiss nicht,
was die Rechtssprechung da akzeptieren wuerde, aber irgendwas
wird da kommen.
Auch erlebe ich, dass sich Justiziare ueber "The Internet" austauschen.
Und ich muss andauernd "Themen" ausdiskutieren, bzw. schriftlich
Schoenwetter machen, weil da eben Best Effort nicht hingenommen wird.#
Das hatte ich an der Uni. Da hatten wir im RZ solche Leute,
da lief das nach dem Stil: Wenn's loeppt, dann loeppts. Im uebrigen
ist es eine Gnade, dass Du studieren darfst.
Das funktioniert leider nicht bei meinen Kunden.

Pppd won't replace an existing default route with one for the PPP
interface. If you have a reserved address LAN then it's unlikely you need
one, a network-specific route will do just fine. Moreover 172.16.255.255
is a broadcast address and totally inappropriate for a default route.

The primary nameserver can be your machine (xxx.ne.mediaone.net). For a
secondary look at http://soa.granitecanyon.com. You need to setup a
nameserver (e.g. bind) then on your machine. About setting up a
nameserver you'll read in the book.

Simple put an entry
www IN CNAME xxx.ne.mediaone.net.
into your zone-file. (You should know what is a zone-file after reading
the book you mentioned.)

I wish to connect my Linux box into my office dialup server and am curious
if anyone knows of an existing script to do the following.
Once connected, the system requests a user id, then replies with a number
(different each time). This number is entered into a key which produces a
reply number. After entering this number, the session is a normal
Login:xxxxxx Password: xxxxxxx Session. Before undertaking this myself, I
was curious if anyone has done this, which I expect someone has.
Thanks.

Older cards (rev A02.XX) at least won't allow you to bind to port 9100
and use
an active IPX connection at the same time. So turn off IPX support.

Was auch ganz nett ist, das sind ,balanced hybrid' routing Protokolle
wie z.B. OSI's IS-IS und Ciscos Enhanced IGRP.
Dieser Art von Routing Protokoll verwendet auch distance vectors
aber mit akkuraterer metric, um den besten Pfad zum destination
network zu bestimmen, als nur ,hop count'.
Dabei triggern auch ,topology changes' routing database updates.
Vorteil dieser ,balanced hybrid routing protocols' sollen sein:
- weniger Bandbreiten Verbrauch
- weniger Memory Verbrauch
- CPU schonender
In nur Cisco Umgebungen und bei nicht zu gro�en Netzwerken ist
Cisco's EIGRP sicherlich nicht �bel, in gr��eren Netzwerken
soll IS-IS EIGRP gegen�ber Vorz�ge haben (H�rensagen).

Date: Sat, 05 Jun 1999 09:12:59 -0500
I think you are going through the same thoughts I am: I am in my house, I
don't need security, I just want access to everything!
I am not a Samba expert, but here is what I did:
# Global parameters
workgroup = CWI
netbios name = CWARE1
interfaces = 192.168.1.1/24
max log size = 20
time server = Yes
local master = No
guest account = ftp
force create mode = 04
hide dot files = No
dont descend = /dev
#these are the defaults, but for clairity
security = USER
encrypt passwords = No
update encrypted = No
use rhosts = No
min passwd length = 5
map to guest = Never
null passwords = No
password server =
smb passwd file = /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd
passwd program = /bin/passwd
passwd chat = *old*password* %o\n *new*password* %n\n
*new*password* %n\n *changed*
passwd chat debug = No
username map =
password level = 0
username level = 0
unix password sync = No
[Xroot]
comment = all of linux box - cware1
path = /
read only = No
Xroot is now a share that will have the same access as what ever Linux user
you logged in as; root will then give you access to everything, or if you can
setup a linux user that also has access to everything, or make everything
accessible to everyone. I think the best way is to set up a user that has
access to everything. What I do is login as root when I need to do admin
things, but login as 'little o me' so that I (or a rouge windows program)
don't break anything important. I can still read files, but I can't write to
them.

Update:
I've tried using Netscape 3.0 and 4.6 on the Win95 box. Also booted up
Caldera 2.2 with Netscape 4.51 on the Win95 box. Usenet is a no-go for
this box.
Since I can access the newshost from the IP-masq host, and telnet to it
from the internal box, it can't be a routing problem. Is it possible to
be a firewall problem? Or is it a userid/password problem? When I access
newshost from IP-masq host I'm logged in as myself, but from the other
machine I've got a different userid. Does INN do any user verification?

I have a setup at work similar to yours. RedHat 5.2 originally but
the notes below should apply to your SUSE distribution. I am not
concerned about security within my work group, so I'm letting any user
have access to the shared Zip drive.
1. Install Samba. This probably comes with your Linux distribution.
Or www.samba.org . Setup sometimes
2. To use DOS-formatted Zip disks with my external SCSI Zip-100 drive,
I added the following in my /etc/fstab file:
/dev/sda4 /mnt/zip vfat user,exec,dev,noauto,rw,umask=000,suid 0 0
3. In my Samba configuration file, /etc/smb.conf, I have the section:
[zip]
path = /mnt/zip
read only = no
writable = yes
public = yes
4. A difference from using Zip drives directly on a Windows machine is
that you have to explicitly mount and unmount the zip disks on the
Linux machine when you insert or eject the disk. Unmounting can be an
annoyance since all of the Windows machines have to relinquish any
connections to the shared zip drive before the unmount will succeed
(This is good, since it protects data on the disk from corruption).
5. After mounting, from the Windows machines use Explorer to "map
network drive:"
\\linuxserver\zip
as you would any shared folder on another Win machine.
Email directly if you have any questions about the above.
