I'm definitely interested. So do we have someone with a company connection who can get the IETF a good bulk discount on 801.11 DS cards? Especially the 11 megabit variant... (Is Adelaide going to have 11 mbps support?) The current plan is to have 802.11 DS 11Mbps support. I

This is a small percentage, I would thing, since the percentage of ISP's offering transit pales in comparison to all other "access" ISP's that do not. And in cases where ISP's _do_ offer transit, or have transit agreements, will they really do this on their transit interfa

Who is interested in wireless cards for the Adelaide IETF meeting?

Lucent will be making available 802.11 DS wireless technology for the forthcoming meeting in Adelaide. They have offered a similar deal to Nortel at the last meeting where IETFers can loan a card for the duration of the meeting and/or buy a card. They would like to get some idea of how many people

Static addresses for the Adelaide IETF

2000-02-15 Thread Mark Prior
Just another question :-) For people who will want static IPs rather than dynamic (I assume for firewall configuration), will you want to use wireless? I'm told to keep MBONE/wired and wireless LANs apart and so I'm trying to determine if I need more than one static address pool. Note this is
