telling the difference between their NANOG and SCA mail?

since I stopped getting both in digest form, maybe it's easier to mix
the two up by mistake.

There used to be (1990’s) a bunch of guys that were Interop volunteers, but 
they also owned the Renaissance Fair in Novato, Ca.  The company name on the 
fair program as its owner was “The Society for Creative Anachronism.”   I know 
there used to be a fair amount of overlap between the NANOG group and the Fair 
people.

Hi Rob,

SCA is the "Society for Creative Announcements", which is all about
how to creatively announce your BGP prefixes in ways that get around
filters, prefix limits, congested peering links, Backdoor Santa specials,
and other such hindrances to the free flow of packets in the directions
you really want them to go.

I can completely understand how the original poster could have
gotten the two lists mixed up.  Some days, I can hardly tell them
apart myself.

Matt

Can't say that I do.  I've been on NANOG for about 17 years.  I used to be 
subscribed to over 100 technical lists.  Despite these two facts I have no 
idea what you mean by SCA in this context.


I keep reading it as "Society for Creative Anachronism".

Would anyone care to enlighten me about this SCA list?  My Googlefu has 
failed me.


Cheers,

Rob

telling the difference between their NANOG and SCA mail?
