  bandwidth, and uptime requirements. It will not become a relay node unless 
  it has a public IP address and is directly reachable from the Internet.
 
  It is very unlikely that launching the Skype app on a laptop on hotel wi-fi 
  would meet these requirements.

 In the last 5 seconds, without touching Skype or having any active voice or 
 chat sessions open, my computer has had communication with 14 IP addresses.  
 Here is a sample of some:

For IT administrators (which probably qualifies most people on this
list) there is a detailed 26 page guide to how Skype communicates on a
network, when you may become a supernode, and how to configure the
program (including to never become a supernode) using GPO (registry
switches) or XML files at
http://download.skype.com/share/business/guides/skype-it-administrators-guide.pdf.

There is a summary of the Supernodes section (concentrating on how to
stop supernodes happening if you have no control of the client) at
http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/security/universities/.

Anybody who might end up with Skyoe clients on their network might
want to give it a gander, as it has some useful info on things like
network impact (along with a lot of stuff that nobody cares about and
you can skip).

RE: [OT] Overture's Ethernet over bonded Copper products

2011-10-15 Thread Sutton, Allen

We've used them extensively in our network for years (we have about 2,600 of 
them in the network).  They actually used to be Ceterus devices (it's possible 
that Hatteras merged with Ceterus or something, but I'm not up on my vendor 
acquisition current events).  We mostly use the UTS 810 and UTS-900 models.  To 
be honest with you they work fine, but once something goes wrong, it's pretty 
bad because they are kind of flaky.  We've had to simply reboot a lot of them 
to get the problem fixed, rather than actually figuring out what is really 
wrong with them and fixing that so it doesn't happen again.  We get lots of 
trouble tickets for speed issues from customers who have them on their 
circuits, that's for sure.  If I were you I'd probably go with Aktino products. 
 We have a ton of those too, and I've never really had a problem with them.

Thanks,
_
Allen

If history is any guide, this will not work.  Someone will listen, and those 
who do not will lose customer (i.e. money).

The Internet is a business, and therefore money talks.  To date, no one has 
been able to prove to the bean counters that more prefixes means less profit.

For instance, I spoke to someone at the conference whose company is spewing 
1000s of prefixes they do not have to.  That person said well, FIB compression 
makes everything OK, so it doesn't matter, right? (paraphrased).  This is a 
company who tells others you have to pay me to use my resources, yet feels 
absolutely no qualms about using other networks' resources for free.

It sounds like you have what Akamai calls an AANP deployment.  In general, 
that should not serve users outside your network.  There are reasons it can, 
and you should talk to Akamai about it if you think it is.

My path didn't cross Jon's much... but he was nice enough to reserve the
really cool RFC number that graces my AFJ contribution from 1997 -- 3 or 4
RFCs with higher numbers came out in March.

Betty,

I believe there was a problem with the voting system this past election.
Proposed amendment 1, which I voted NO on, did not register.  It does not
show a vote in the ballot confirmation email (well, it just doesn't say
what I did), but I know I voted NO.  Further, what makes this even more
suspicious is that 0 people voted no on this one, yet 8 voted no on the
2nd.  Yet, the yes votes on both were 79 and 78 respectively.

Results:

Member structure ratification
79 yes
 
0 no
 

Committee Structure Simplification Rationale
78 yes
 
8 no
 
  
 
 
 
 
 


Can anyone investigate this?  I'm just concerned that there might be a
problem in the future, and I'd like to find out what happened here.

Ballot Cast: Bylaw Changes
Cast by: Randy Epstein

1. Membership structure ratificationp
Rationale:
The membership structure as specified in the original bylaws made a lot
of people unhappy, so the board used its power to temporarily amend the
bylaws to institute the now-current membership structure, under which
all 
current NANOG voters have become members.  That amendment now needs to
be 
ratified by the membership, to avoid the membership structure reverting
to its previous state./P

Proposal:
That the membership ratify the bylaw amendment enacted by the Board on
January 4, 2011, establishing the now-current NANOG membership
structure. 
 /P

The amendment is as follows:
- Replace the current section 5 in its entirety with:/P

5. Membership/P

5.1 Membership Qualifications - Membership in NewNOG is open to any
individual with an interest in Internet operations, engineering, or
research and who wishes to further education and knowledge sharing
within 
the Internet operations community. Any individual may become a member of
NewNOG by completing an application and payment of dues./P

5.2 Membership Classes - There shall be only one class of membership,
with all the rights and privileges specified in these Bylaws./P

5.3 Membership Dues - The Board of Directors shall specify the cost of
annual membership dues.  The Board may establish discounts for members
meeting certain criteria, or for members wishing to pay for more than
one 
year in advance./P

5.4 Rights and Benefits of Members - Members in good standing shall be
entitled to these privileges:

/P* Vote in all NewNOG elections.  * Run as a candidate for the Board
of Directors * Serve on an administrative committee, as defined in
section 9 * Other privileges as specified by the Board of Directors/P

5.5 Policies and Procedures - The Board of Directors shall establish and
publish policies and procedures for implementation of the membership
program.


/P 2. Committee Structure Simplification
Rationale:/P
Substantial portions of the roles of the Event Logistics committee and
the Budget and Finance committee are now being carried out by the
Executive Director and staff, with oversight by the Treasurer and other
board members.  This amendment eliminates the permanent status of those
committees, and allows the board discretion to create new ad hoc
committees as needs change./P

The amendment would:

- Eliminate the finance and event committees as standing committees
- Allow the board to create other ad-hoc committees as needed to perform
specific tasks
- Clarify that all committee chairs are given non-voting ex-officio
seats 
on the board, which are not counted towards a quorum
- Fix a few other minor language issues and typos/P

Proposal:
- In section 8.6, replace the text at least four members with at
least 
four voting members./P

- Replace section 9 introductory text with:
The Board of Directors will create three standing committees to fulfill
the NewNOG mission.  Those committees will be the Program Committee, the
Communication Committee, and the Membership and Development Committee.
The Board may also at its discretion create ad hoc committees to carry
out other functions as needed.  All members of committees must be
Members 
in Good Standing of NewNOG.
The chairperson of each committee will serve ex officio in a non-voting
role on the Board of Directors, in order to facilitate communication
between the groups./P

- In section 9.1.2, replace the word Council with Committee./P

- In section 9.2.3, replace the misspelled word Acceptible with
Acceptable./P

- In section 9.2.5, delete the sentence:
/P

The chairperson of the Communications Committee will serve ex officio in
a non-voting role on the Board of Directors, in order to facilitate
communication between the two groups./P

- In section 9.3.1, delete the sentence:/P

The chairperson of the Membership and Development Committee will serve
ex 
officio in a non-voting role on the Board of Directors, in order to
facilitate communication between the two groups./P

- Replace section 9.4 with:/P

9.4 Ad Hoc Committees/P

The Board of Directors may from time to time create ad

I agree with Skeeve that it hits a number of lists, but I think that is 
a good thing and is of value.


I agree with others who have said that there is any amount of worthless 
noise on lists and we can just filter if not required.


Personally iirc, it was this content that led me to find Geoff's web 
site and follow on to a number of other very useful resources when I 
first started learning about this space.


We need to remember that not every person in this space enters from 
University but some migrate to it because of other drivers.


Hence some of these resources, that those of you with decades of 
experience, wonder about the value of, actually have far more value than 
just their core content.  (Hope that makes sense.).
