Having carped, I'm obligated to offer a solution: The technical discussion is certainly interesting to a small subset of NANOG participants, I'm sure (I do find it interesting, I promise), but I'm thinking this conversation is better elsewhere, like a beer & gear, or might I recommend forming some kind of nanog-shoptalk sub list? Is there one like it? Something for discussing the network substrata and not the weather a few layers up?
I wouldn't mind seeing a nanog-shoptalk list actually... I know according to the NANOG guidelines this thread is off topic: "The NANOG list has over 10,000 subscribers so it is very easy for a thread to have scores of posts while being off-topic and only of interest to only a small proportion of subscribers. Please consider before each post if your email will be of interest to the majority of members or might alternatively be emailed directly the people of interest or posted to another forum." (from the email everyone received) ...but I found this thread very interesting, and relevant to at least networking in general. I've had my eyes on Vyatta products in the past, for example, and seeing the smattering of experienced NANOG folks "chew the fat" about Linux routers is something I'm interested in, even if it has nothing specifically to do with really long BGP advertisements or getting to http://lolcats.com Just my .02 -- Eric http://nixwizard.net
