Ladies and Gentlemen of the IETF. I wanted to take this time to thank you for your patience and assistance with the IETF56 network. Right now we seem to have a stable network. Our earlier problems with DHCP and DNS have been resolved. We have tried to balance out the Access Points in the public areas. With many thanks to Greg Shepherd, multicast availability has been greatly improved. Please bear in mind that multicast is available in the hotel only over the wired connections in the terminal room. At this point in time the only known issue concerns suboptimal IPv6 routing. We are actively working on this issue and hope to resolve this shortly. If anyone has a local tunnel they would like to let us use, we would be glad to entertain your offer. If you discover any issues please let us know by posting a message to 56crew@ietf.org I would like to take this time to thank (for the first of many times) the NOC staff. These ladies and gentlemen have been working miracles and wonders to bring this network together. --Brett Thorson Foretec Seminars / IETF
