Talk 1:
MAX’s 2547 vpn background
•Heard
Ivan Gonzalez of Juniper’s presentation to routing wg July 2002 on
Calren 2547 mockup. Examined his configs, looked useful
& feasible.
•MAX in
2002 was offering standard mix of routes from Abilene, DREN, Esnet,
vBNS, etc peerings. Everything working, nobody interested in
2547.
•But
pressure from customers mounted to resell Qwest ISP service. Ran tests for 6 months with UMD
as ISP and GU as customer, and found routing problems. Mocked up 2547 topology on MAX’s
inexpensive lab routers, then deployed.
