If we do not help the newbies how will they ever become clued. I can certainly remember when I did not know a bit from a byte.
I agree, but I question if NANOG is the appropriate medium for such help. I tend to (maybe mistakenly) assume a working knowledge of basic multihoming concepts is essentially a prerequisite for active participation on the NANOG mailing list. Isn't this akin to posting to a profesional mathematics forum asking for help with your Algebra? I know I read the list for high-level discussions of the issues facing North American network operators, not for a rehash of multihoming 101. Certainly helping to educate newcomers can go a long way towards making all of lives easier, but that seems outside the scope of NANOG-L. If NANOG isn't the appropriate forum for those types of discussions, what is? Where should we be referring people to have clue bestowed upon them? Is there a lack of alternatives out there for such discussion? [vendor]-nsp seems like a decent choice for questions such as the one that sparked this discussion. Inet-access used be a good place for finding that type of information, but that list seems to be on life-support these days. Would it be appropriate for NANOG to start such a list? (NANOG Lite?) Would anyone bother subscribing/participating? Or are the available alternatives sufficient? Andrew Cruse
