The problem with setting expectations is that when they are not fulfilled the fallout is generally considered to be a failure, and while everyone wants to claim parenthood of success, failure is an orphan. In that sense it looks like the WCIT meeting, and the International Telecommunications Regulations (ITRs) that…
No that’s not a question about Australian coffee tastes and the critically important difference between a flat white and a cappuccino. This is a question about the differences in ISP retail models for broadband Internet access and the choice between a retail model of a “unlimited” flat fee that has…
The Internet has managed to collect its fair share of mythology, and one of the more persistent myths is that from its genesis in a cold war US think tank in the 1960’s the Internet was designed with remarkable ability to “route around damage.” Whether the story of this cold…
NANOG held its 56th meeting in Dallas on October 21 through 24. I found the two and a half day program to be once more quite diverse and interesting. The following are my impressions of the presentations of this meeting.

At the Nordunet 2012 conference in September, a presentation included the assertion that “more than 80% of domains could use DNSSEC if they so chose.” This is an interesting claim that speaks to a very rapid rise in the deployment of DNSSEC in recent years, and it raises many questions…
Back in 2005 we were looking for a way to visualise the history of allocation of IPv4 addresses, and one of the approaches we tried at the time was in the way of a movie. In this visualisation we included the data for the allocation of IPv4 addresses, Autonomous System…
The tabloid press are never lost for a good headline, but this one in particular caught my eye: “Global Chaos as moment in time kills the Interwebs“. I’m pretty sure that “global chaos” is somewhat over the top, but there was a problem happening on the 1st of July this…
