Well, yes, that goes hand-in-hand with "...expects hefty charge".
To me, this just says T-Mobile wants out of the POTS business at almost any
cost.
All those poor people stuck with Cogent now, I feel sorry for them!

The book, being written by an actual credentialed historian, contains their
complete sources as footnotes/endnotes. That section was overwhelming, I
mostly skipped it...

I can't believe that never occurred to me in all the time I was doing that,
'way back when...
Thanks for pointing that out!

to the current,
probably-illegitimate, users – public schools can always use a bit more cash!
Absent a clean-up effort, however, with appropriate policy supporting it, we’re
stuck with the status-quo.

I’ve seen – that Dell PowerEdge server in the rack suddenly starts doing
double-duty as a shelf! (Or the UPS, or the KVM, or the ethernet switch, or…)

Cisco vPC does essentially the same thing, as does Juniper's VC. Extreme has
something similar, too.
STP does not get transported across the VXLAN transport, so you now avoid all
the inherent problems with long-distance or multi-site STP bridging.

wed from the IaaS perspective, this is a bunch
of DC-DC connections… but relative to the overall network, the customer-prem
devices fall into the traditional “CPE” category. (Most customers either just
plug in bare fiber, or they connect to an intermediate carrier’s CPE.)

hich are nice, but our policy requires vendor support
contracts, so… no-go.)
Vendors? Model#s, if you happen to know any?
Reply here or privately, whatever floats your boat – any pointers appreciated!

Does anyone here use VXLAN on Cisco Nexus gear in the "vlan-aware-bundle" mode
(RFC7432 §6.3), not the "vlan-based" mode (§6.1)? If so, could you please
contact me directly to explain how you did so?
Much appreciated,

~90% of the
conflicts you would otherwise encounter if the anycast node isn’t extremely
stable. If you become aware of a distributed DHCP server that actually works
well in this environment, that’s worth a post to the list all by itself.

ocation strategies seems
appropriate to me if you have 100,000 subnets, not 100.
Opinions wanted, please.

I may have mis-read it (I admit I didn’t read it all that carefully) but I
think RFC3531 is talking about the strategy for assigning /64s out of a larger
pool (a /56, say).

Hello,
The minimum addressable on a LAN is a /64. So you have to provide the customer
with
90 matches
