Re: SRI's Dan Lynch dies
I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting Mr. Lynch, but I thought id add that from other sources I am told he was 82 years old. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/31/technology/daniel-c-lynch-dead.html Thank you for sharing the news to this list. I’m sure he is and will be greatly missed by those who knew him. I’m thankful for all he did for computing and the Internet. John Stitt Sent from my pocket CRAY-1 On Mar 31, 2024, at 2:20 PM, Jay R.

Re: Open source Netflow analysis for monitoring AS-to-AS traffic
Hi Peter, Thanks for that link. I did read the spec, and while the definition itself is clear, the escape clause gives a lot of wiggle room: "Hardware limitations may prevent an exact reporting of the underlying frame length, but an agent should attempt to be as accurate as possible." I read that as, "the vendor will do whatever it pleases, and you should be grateful to receive a non-negative integer at all." I could be too cynical, though. Anyway, this particular vendor does other funny things (such as sometimes stripping the q-tag headers from the sampled frame; throttling the frame sampling on the box, but not adjusting the sampling interval in the sFlow exports) that make it a true joy to work with this gear. ;-) Cheers, -- Steven
