  2. Avi Freeman by Rufus211 · · Score: 1 · on Geeks and Poker?

    There's been a thread on NANOG about Avi Freeman at the WSOP. From his website:

    # Chief Network Scientist for Akamai: Working on new products, especially around Internet monitoring and availability
    # Playing poker every few months (see http://avi.freedman.net/poker.html) - I came in 5th and made the final table of the Pot Limit Omha event at the World Series. ESPN will air it on Aug 31, 2004.

  4. It's not easy. by little_fluffy_clouds · · Score: 4, Informative · on Multi-Homing Your Home Network?
    I'm still looking for the 'magic solution' myself - trouble is, it is rather complicated to get this right. It sure is fun though! Some links I have found handy in the past, probably more for those people who don't know all that much about it:

    Multihoming and BGP FAQ - has some links to the RFC's etc.

    Avi Freedman's site has some very useful docs, in particular his Multihoming for the small ISP, and his newer BGP Routing docs. He even has a powerpoint presentation titled "How to Multi Home" but I have not seen it.

  6. Re:Routing table sizes by marius · · Score: 1 · on Trouble Ahead for Internet Routing Tables?

    On a [un]related note, it was pointed out by Avi Freedman at ISPCon (and I'm sure elsewhere) that UUNet AS 701 + Sprint AS 1239 = 1940. And they say they aren't fascist. =]

  7. Re:uh, they've been doing this for about 3-4 years by jcostom · · Score: 2 · on Easing Backbone Traffic By Scanning The Net
    Exactly. They've got some solid BGP experience. However, they seem to like to apply large negative weights to everyone but Sprint, so most of their traffic goes out through Sprint. How it comes back to you is anyone's guess...

    Frankly, I don't think it's anything revolutionary. If I wanted to emulate their setup, I'd fork out a buttload of cash to some large providers to pay for transit, next I'd hire some guys like Avi, or someone of his calibre to do it right....
