The following message by Stephane Bortzmeye includes an inappropriate personal attack in violation of the following sections of the ISOC Code of Conduct: http://www.isoc.org/members/codeconduct.shtml 7 Only offer or claim to offer opinions or services that lie within the member's actual knowledge or competence. 8 In the case of financial or material conflict between personal and professional interests, or between two professional interests, declare this conflict to all interested parties and if appropriate in public. 9 Respect the generally accepted norms of Internet etiquette for human communications, especially by avoiding communications that are false or are likely to be considered as discourteous, objectionable, malicious, unwanted, or causing unjustified loss of prestige. Avoid fraudulent or deceptive statements. 11 Treat all users and colleagues fairly and on equal terms. And the message violates the following sections of the IETF Guidelines for Conduct RFC 3184: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3184.txt?number=3184 1. IETF participants extend respect and courtesy to their colleagues at all times. IETF participants come from diverse origins and backgrounds and are equipped with multiple capabilities and ideals. Regardless of these individual differences, participants treat their colleagues with respect as persons--especially when it is difficult to agree with them. Seeing from another's point of view is often revealing, even when it fails to be compelling. English is the de facto language of the IETF, but it is not the native language of many IETF participants. Native English speakers attempt to speak clearly and a bit slowly and to limit the use of slang in order to accommodate the needs of all listeners. 2. IETF participants develop and test ideas impartially, without finding fault with the colleague proposing the idea. We dispute ideas by using reasoned argument, rather than through intimidation or ad hominem attack. Or, said in a somewhat more IETF-like way: "Reduce the heat and increase the light" -- Av8 Internet Prepared to pay a premium for better service? www.av8.net faster, more reliable, better service 617 344 9000 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 2 Oct 2004 20:42:17 +0100 From: Stephane Bortzmeyer <bortzmeyer@xxxxxx> To: dnsop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [dnsop] Re: Root Anycast On Thu, Sep 30, 2004 at 08:48:37PM -0400, Dean Anderson <dean@xxxxxxx> wrote a message of 56 lines which said: > If Av8 turns on PPLB, traffic to F-root will go through both sprint > and att on a per-packet basis. Troll Bot <dean@xxxxxxx> keeps mentioning PPLB. May be some people more knowledgeable about BGP than I am will explain to me why PPLB is such a new issue for anycasting? Even without PPLB, the simple and normal (though infrequent) change of the routes by BGP may disturb existing TCP sessions if the target is anycasted. This is why anycast is currently deployed only on mostly-UDP services like the DNS. So, it seems there is nothing new coming from the PPLB thing. . dnsop resources:_____________________________________________________ web user interface: http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~llynch/dnsop.html mhonarc archive: http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~llynch/dnsop/index.html _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
