This is my first e-mail to the list and I hope it is not entirely
inappropriate. We are attempting to use Juniper single-mode SFPs (LX
variety) across multi-mode fiber. Standard listed distance is always
for SFPs using the appropriate type of fiber. Does anyone out there
know how much distance we are likely to get? Thanks for your help in
advance.

I would strongly suggest that operators work with their legal
departments to endorse this paper by Crocker and others.

If other ISP organizations (such as say MAAWG) come out with
something, other operators could sign on to that as well.

The EFF petition has way too much propaganda and far less content than
would be entirely productive in a policy discussion.

MAAWG has written voicing its concerns on SOPA and PIPA.

Wonderful.  I would urge SPs based stateside to strongly consider
endorsing the MAAWG comments.

thanks

Some of which seems to float between fear-mongering, possibly
mis-appropriated quotes, half-truths and information that is flat-out
wrong.  I would not trust the judgment and opinions of someone who even
admitted in one of their blog posts that they had "no hands-on Service
Provider IPv6 experience."

While I can understand why IPv4 address brokers would take a decidedly
anti-IPv6 stance (deploying IPv6 cuts into their potential business), that
doesn't make it any less underhanded.

I'd have been more impressed if they actually came up with
the stories by themselves, as opposed to linking to existing
stories that their link titles take out of context.

Subject: Multiple ISP Load Balancing
Message-ID:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

From time to time some have posted questions asking if BGP load balancers such as the old Routescience Pathcontrol 
device are still around, and if not what have others found to replace that function. I have used the Routescience 
device with much success 10 years ago when it first came on the market, but since then a full BGP feed has become 
much larger, Routescience has been bought by Avaya, then discontinued, and other competitors such as Sockeye, Netvmg 
have been acquired by other companies.

Doing some research on how load balancing can be accomplished in 2011, I have come across Cisco's performance routing 
feature, and features from load balancing companies such as F5's Link Controller. I have always found BGP to be easy 
to work with, and an elegant, simple solution to load balancing using a route-reflector configuration in which one 
BGP client (Routescience Pathcontrol in my background) learns the best route to destination networks, and then 
announces that best route to BGP border routers using common and widely understood BGP concepts such as communities 
and local pref, and found this to lead to a deterministic Internet routing architecture. This required a knowledge 
only of IETF standards (common BGP concepts and configurations), required no specialized scripting, or any other 
knowledge lying outside IETF boundaries, and it seemed reasonable to expect that network engineers should eagerly and 
enthusiastically want to master this technology, just as any other technology must be mastered to run high 
availability networks.

So I am wondering if anyone has experience with implementing load balancing across multiple ISP links in 2011, and if 
there have been any comparisons between IETF standards-based methods using BGP, and other proprietary methods which 
may use a particular vendor's approach to solving the same problem, but involves some complexity with more variables 
to be plugged in to the architecture.
