First off, you may want to check out a couple of "resnet" mailing lists that exist. I think educause hosts one. On Oct 9, 2007, at 8:03 AM, jason () tacorp com wrote:
So, in building it we want to make it as portable as possible. As such, NAT comes to mind so we don't have to re-number it if a different provider takes it.
You could also acquire globally routable provider-independent address space and an AS number. Then you could peer w/ one or more isp's as well.
It also has a number of other advantages which I'm sure are well known.
And a number of disadvantages that are well known.
* It's harder to handle RIAA complaints since everything comes from a different public address.
ONLY interact with the RIAA via their laywers talking to your laywers. You are not their agent.
* Rate limiting (packet shaping) is currently done at the ISP for these buildings. We'll have to move that inside (more $$) or do protocol shaping instead of by IP address.
I would recommend you do the rate limiting yourself. More $$ upfront, but you can depreciate hardware and save costs elsewhere.
Do the benefits outweight the caveats?
My experience with our /17 of dorms is no. Dale _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () listserv icsalabs com https://listserv.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
