[HECnet] Multinet peerings...?

This past Sunday, Johnny and I spent a fair amount of time looking at circuit costs (and performance) between SG1:: and JOCKE:: while testing his new Multinet-tunneling code. The findings were a bit strange to say the least. At the moment, the LAN circuit costs here are set to "4" to reflect what the VMS machines set their network interfaces to. It seems that RSX sets costs to "3". Why are they different? Who knows! The Multinet circuit costs coming out of here are "4" or less depending on various factors. They include but are not limited to: circuit speeds, number of links to a leaf node (site), and types of links. I treat this site as a hub because it services so many leaf nodes (sites). I treat all other sites (except LEGATO:: and MIM::) as leaf nodes (sites). LEGATO:: and MIM:: are treated as hubs (or peers). In a 2 weeks I will be back from vacation and will be prepared to look further into possible circuit cost changes. Bandwidth at this site (either coming or going) is no longer a problem. Stay tuned... :-) -Steve On 1/13/2016 20:52, Peter Lothberg wrote:
