No idea, but I seriously doubt it is anywhere near that.
But it is also almost impossible to measure. There are traffic going on
between different machines, local traffic within areas, local networks,
across the world, and everything in between, over various links.
I don't mind taking your word for it.
What do you all think? Do you think it might be a good idea to set up a
node on this colo to allow some (most?) people who have dynamic IP to
VPN into?
I will not stop you. People are free to connect more machines to HECnet, and if they route traffic, that is also ok. So just go ahead.
More access points in various places don't hurt.

Ok. It was just a thought.

Can I colo a VAX there shoved in a corner? ;)
I didn't mean I have a suite or something. I meant that I have a large
machine with a large transfer allowance.

There is no central point through which all traffic passes.

Does dynamips run on arm?

Hi,
Now I'm back, I need to get reconnected to HECnet and get some routing sorted out. Multinet never worked, and I lost my fixed IP so I can't use the bridge. Is anyone able to offer some kind of IP tunnel, maybe VPN or something?
Have a cisco box?
No, I have a Linux ARM machine, but no Cisco gear (not keen on having a lump of Cisco gear just for DECnet)
Pick up a 2524. Mine was $10 and it pulls about 22W. ;)
Have IPv6?
I honestly don't know if it works on this ISP line. I assume it does but I've never tested it.
If it does, you could do the bridge between me. I've got to do some hackery to autoupdate ipv6.

I'd expect it to be <100M if people aren't actively transferring files.
I supposed hellos could use far more bandwidth than I assume!
Well, I meant total, including transfers.

Cory already covered ipv6 and cisco.
I've been thinking about setting Paul's python DECnet router up. I'll do that next week. I think it can do tunnel like things. Paul?
Can anyone direct me to this mystical Python creation? :)
