Given we are moving into the hurricanes season in a few months, I was
wondering if this is now an accepted standard. I haven't seen many updates -
it appears to be complete as is.
Thanks,
Make sure you don't miss the QoS implementation of RFC 2549 (and make sure
that you're ready to implement RFC 6214). You'll be highly satisfied with
the results (presuming you and your packets end up in one of the higher
quality classes).
I'd also suggest a RFC 2322 compliant DHCP server for devices inside the
hurricane zone, but modified by implementing zip ties such that the C47s
aren't released under heavy (wind or water) loads.

Actually, given recent events, I'd emphasize and advocate RFC3514
(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3514.txt) which I think is LONG overdue for
adoption. The implementation would forego most of the currently debated
topics as related to network abuse or misuse

Packets, shmackets. I'm just upset that my BGP over Semaphore Towers
routing protocol extension hasn't been experimentally validated yet.
Whoever you are who keeps flying pigeons between my test towers, you can't
deliver packets without proper routing updates! Knock it off long enough
for me to converge the #@$#$@ routing table...
I'm working to make our network comply with the latest standards in rfc6919

I have always wondered what kind of station wagon Andy had in mind; the
SRT-8 Magnum didn't exist when he said that...

DLT? I first heard it as a station wagon full of (9-track, 1600 bpi,
that having been the state of the art) mag tapes on the Taconic Parkway,
circa 1970. I suspect, though, that Herman Hollerith expressed the idea
about a stage coach full of punchcards, back in the 1880s.

The earliest reference to this I've been able to pin down is Andy Tanenbaum's,
and TTBOMK -- and you of all people should know this, Steve -- he was talking
about Usenet, which a few sites actually *got feeds of on magtape*, in the
very early 80s. Some of those tapes, in addition to UTZoo's backups of their
spool, constituted the very earliest material given to Dejagoo.

Here's a picture of an estimated 4.3G of data on punch cards:

20 rows of pallets, each row is 15 pallets, stacked 2 high, 45 boxes
of 2,000 to the pallet.
One has to wonder if those pallets are still there....

No, but the Caprice Classic wagon was very common at the time.

In europe? He probably was thinking of a Volvo 245...
I don't /think/ Andy was over there that far back.
Yes, I know that story. I'm talking what was said to me personally -- not
hearsay, earwitness evidence. The road mentioned was the Taconic Parkway, part
of the direct route between where I was working at the time (IBM Watson Lab #2,
http://www.columbia.edu/cu/computinghistory/watsonlab.html) and IBM
Yorktown -- https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=612+West+115th+Street,+New+York,+NY&daddr=ibm+watson+labs,+yorktown,+ny&hl=en&ll=41.027571,-73.66745&spn=0.872312,0.95993&sll=40.807717,-73.965464&sspn=0.013675,0.014999&geocode=FSWtbgIdaGCX-ylpY-dMOfbCiTEUPDIPtH_nMw%3BFfTUdAIdCtuZ-yF0j-k3CpyMSikvG-JPT7jCiTF0j-k3CpyMSg&mra=ls&t=m&z=10
The context was the speed of an RJE link between the IBM 1130 I was running
(http://www.columbia.edu/cu/computinghistory/1130.html) and a mainframe
in Yorktown. (If memory serves, it was a 2400 bps half-duplex link, probably
via a Bell 201 "data set". I don't remember for sure, though. Anyway, that
was my first contact with networking, though I worried more about the
host part of it. I did learn bisync rather thoroughly in my next gig,
at City College of New York Computer Center, at that time the central
computing hub for the entire City University system.)
