Upcoming NANOG & ARIN Meetings

Hi,

I’ve been to previous NANOG meetings and have found them to be very useful. Can someone shed some light for me on the ARIN meetings? I guess I want to know if it worth attending? ARIN folks - please be kind… :slight_smile:

PLEASE REPLY OFF-LIST.

Thanks,
Charlie

Yo Nanogers!

Not been able to reach my machines in Jamaica. The Kingston Daily
Gleaner is back up with text only pages. They report BOTH the primary
and secondary submarine cables to Jamaica are severed:

wanna watch sausage being made? but the arin sausage factory has
become far less scary than apnic's or ripe's, by a long shot.

And the name servers are all in Jamaica (IANA lists other name servers
but they are in lame delegation) so the TLD disappeared as well.

~ % check_soa jm
There is no name server running on ns.jm
There was no response from ns.utechjamaica.edu.jm
There was no response from ns.utech.edu.jm
There was no response from ns.cast.edu.jm

RFC 2182, 3.1 :

   Secondary servers must be placed at both topologically and
   geographically dispersed locations on the Internet, to minimise the
   likelihood of a single failure disabling all of them.

And it is quite easy to get a remote secondary for a TLD (RIPE-NCC,
ISC, EP, AFNIC, etc). Too bad it was not done.
