Re: Reminiscing our first internet connections (WAS) Re: akamai yesterday - what in the world was that

My first internet connection was some generic 2400baud.I had software support for MNP 5, which probably claims speeds up to 9600 bps? {perfomance in the lab with pretty cooperative factors like noise when squirrels eat through the protective coatings, and then chew up the actual wire, and at least

Re: comcast business service

They often say everything looks okay. I can recall one conversation where the tech said he was talking to my modem and there were no problems all the way to it. I replied that it was unplugged in my hand because I had done so to read the serial number to him, so he couldn't be talking to it.

Re: do ISPs keep track of end-user IP changes within thier network?

been a while, but seems like lately it's more a question of how long. ISPs can be in position where they need to, but as things have consolidated, seems like they'd really like to forget it as soon as they can. If you've got a specific case in mind, likely best to find a direct contact and get a

Re: Comcast contact

agreed this isn't the case based on what I've seen based on my latest former employer(s). Comcast is playing by the (generally agreed upon) rules. what I have been seeing is a lot of other route optimizations changing as other providers consolidate routing among latest acquisitions. And of course,

Traffic shaping going on?

Doesn't seem directly correlated with outages, and everything seems to be working ok, but I'm seeing about a 20-30% shift in flows from AS7792 to AS3356. Seems unlikely that many ISPs have suddenly turned up a level3 link on the same day/hour, and performance metrics all seem normal. I confess

Noction?

gotten a few cold calls from Noction. All I see is some PR about BGP happiness and good feelings with no technical hints about what they actually have to offer. They haven't even hit me directly, rather seem to be chasing us down via corporate listings, so are giving me not-confident feelings I

Level3 worldwide emergency upgrade?

Does anyone have details on tonight's apparent worldwide emergency router upgrade? All I managed to get out of the portal was 30 minutes, Service Affecting (no kidding?) and the NOC line gave me the recording about it and disconnected me. -R

Re: Level3 worldwide emergency upgrade?

OK, having had that first cup of coffee, I can say perhaps the main reason I was wondering is I've gotten used to Level3 always being on top of things (and admittedly, rarely communicating). They've reached the top by often being a black box of reliability, so it's (perhaps unrealistically)

Re: Postini Exiting ISP Business?

I used to work for Postini, but have long since lost touch with pretty much everyone there. I'm actually surprised this didn't happen sooner. When Google bought them (what, over 5 years now?), it seemed fairly obvious they were going to be integrating them into their own email offerings. The lack

Re: Cisco IT class on groupon!?

From their description, it's an examcram, not an education. If you already know what you're doing and just want to fill in enough detail gaps to quickly get your cert, you'll likely get what you were looking for. Personally, I can't remember the last time someone brought up certs for a network

Anyone else suddenly getting shaped/throttled by comcast this morning?

Looks to have started at almost exactly 8am Eastern, though in our case it's mostly west coast traffic(dst to comcast retail customers), so seems unlikely to be aftermath of storm damage, unless someone didn't look very closely at their traffic before noodling things. Still, coming up on 3 hours
