The Twelve Networking Truths
Status of this Memo
This memo provides information for the Internet community. This memo
does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of
this memo is unlimited.
Abstract
This memo documents the fundamental truths of networking for the
Internet community. This memo does not specify a standard, except in
the sense that all standards must implicitly follow the fundamental
truths.
Acknowledgements
The truths described in this memo result from extensive study over an
extended period of time by many people, some of whom did not intend
to contribute to this work. The editor merely has collected these
truths, and would like to thank the networking community for
originally illuminating these truths.
1. Introduction
This Request for Comments (RFC) provides information about the
fundamental truths underlying all networking. These truths apply to
networking in general, and are not limited to TCP/IP, the Internet,
or any other subset of the networking community.
2. The Fundamental Truths
(1) It Has To Work.
(2) No matter how hard you push and no matter what the priority,
you can't increase the speed of light.
(2a) (corollary). No matter how hard you try, you can't make a
baby in much less than 9 months. Trying to speed this up
*might* make it slower, but it won't make it happen any
quicker.
(3) With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is
not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they
are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them
as they fly overhead.
(4) Some things in life can never be fully appreciated nor
understood unless experienced firsthand. Some things in
networking can never be fully understood by someone who neither
builds commercial networking equipment nor runs an operational
network.
(5) It is always possible to aglutenate multiple separate problems
into a single complex interdependent solution. In most cases
this is a bad idea.
(6) It is easier to move a problem around (for example, by moving
the problem to a different part of the overall network
architecture) than it is to solve it.
(6a) (corollary). It is always possible to add another level of
indirection.
(7) It is always something
(7a) (corollary). Good, Fast, Cheap: Pick any two (you can't
have all three).
(8) It is more complicated than you think.
(9) For all resources, whatever it is, you need more.
(9a) (corollary) Every networking problem always takes longer to
solve than it seems like it should.
(10) One size never fits all.
(11) Every old idea will be proposed again with a different name and
a different presentation, regardless of whether it works.
(11a) (corollary). See rule 6a.
(12) In protocol design, perfection has been reached not when there
is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take
away.
Security Considerations
This RFC raises no security issues. However, security protocols are
subject to the fundamental networking truths.

A True Story, if she had killed herself she'd be a shoe-in for
the Darwin Award.
Last summer, down on Lake Isabella, located in the high desert,
an hour east of Bakersfield, a blonde, new to boating was having
a problem. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't get
her brand new 22-ft Bayliner to perform. It wouldn't get on a
plane at all, and it was very sluggish in almost every maneuver,
no matter how much power she applied.
After about an hour of trying to make it go, she putted over to a nearby marina. Maybe they could tell her what was wrong. A
thorough topside check revealed everything was in perfect working order. The engine ran fine, the outdrive went up and down, the prop was the correct size and pitch. So, one of the marina guys jumped in the water to check underneath. He came up choking on water, he was laughing so hard. Under the boat, still strapped securely in place, was the trailer.

Why don't I have any more anti-points??????
I'll take hand-outs....
I will exchange antipoints for an origanal authentic green matchbox made by TDL Distributors Ltd.
It must be green with a Celtic design on the back.

I will exchange antipoints for a 17" LCD flatpanel screen.
a 15" is also good.

If you want to exclude the capture of certain IP address(es) then make this change.
Convert that machine's IP to an integer....
i.e. 192.168.0.1 = 0xc0a80001
find the following line in the function hdlr2()
ip_src = *(u_long*)(ptr + 12);
right after that, put the following, substituting for the IP
if(ip_src == htonl(0xc0a80001))
return;
and you should ignore that machine...
It works like magic
Well, I'm still waiting on those antipoints... Hmm, just a little something to think about:
Don't "Antipoints" sound like they would be a bad thing? Kinda like the opposite of a point... like a negative point...
Oh well, I'll live
Maybe propoints would be a more suitable name!

Psychotics live in them

#300
oooo man man man.....i thought that ..this thread will make replies...about 20 or 30 but this is really going for 300 and mine is 301....this is really going to be the longes thread...
hey let me know what it the target...set.....hahaha...:D
intruder... :borg:
I guess its around 1000, rather 1001, to make it the worlds longest thread.:cool:Quote:

is it a price for the last post here ?????????????
HAPPY NEW YEAR
GEZUAR VITIN E RI
wow! it's looking good at over 300! lets keep it up there and it
might become the world's longest thread!! Later.:cool:
just a post to keep this going. smile and the world smiles with you, cry and you cry alone.
We need to beat like 13000 to get the worlds longest thread hehe so get posting!
Here some usefull information
Many times there is a question like how to install large disk? Or my HDD doesn't work... so here's some nfo on the item.
I made it easy for myself, why type some nfo if it already exists?
This is taken from the readme file for the Seagate DiscWizard. Modified by Victorkaum for AO.
BIOS LIMITATIONS
----------------
Included here are brief explanations of a number of drive capacity
limitations that exist in the computer industry. The use of Disk Manager and its Dynamic Drive Overlay offers a solution to each of these problems.
*** 528 MB Limitation ***
Using the traditional IDE interface limits the system to a maximum drive capacity of 528 MB. The cause of this limitation is Int 13h (BIOS) and IDE field sizes for the CHS (Cylinder, Head, and Sector) entries.
Because the system must perform a translation between the CHS parameters recognized by the drive and those established in the Int 13h code, parameters are limited to the smaller of the field sizes allowed for each parameter by the BIOS and the IDE register set. The chart below displays the BIOS, IDE, and limiting field size.
BIOS IDE Limit
Sectors per Track 63 255 63
Number of Heads 255 16 16
Number of Cylinders 1024 65536 1024
------ -------- ------
Maximum Capacity 8.4 GB 136.9 GB 528 MB
The maximum system drive capacity in a combined BIOS/IDE setup is determined by the limiting field size -- 528 MB.
Currently, computers are being shipped with a BIOS that implements Extended Int 13h or "Logical Block Addressing" (LBA), both of which are solutions to the 528 MB limitation.
*** 4096 Cylinder (2.1 GB) Limitation ***
Some computers have a BIOS that does not properly deal with the "13th bit". The 13th bit is needed to provide support for a drive having 4096 or more cylinders. The chart below displays the corresponding cylinder values in decimal, hex, and binary values.
DECIMAL HEX BINARY SIZE
1023 = 3FF = 10 bits = 528 MB
2047 = 7FF = 11 bits = 1.0 GB
4095 = FFF = 12 bits = 2.1 GB
8191 = 1FFF = 13 bits = 4.2 GB
16383 = 3FFF = 14 bits = 8.4 GB
If you have added a new drive and your system locks up at boot time (right after turning power on) or during System Setup, there may be several causes. Verify that the data cable is properly attached to your drive, pin 1 is correct, and the cable is not installed off a row of pins.
If your new drive is larger than 2.1GB and your System Setup (CMOS) is set to "AUTO", you may have a BIOS with a 4096 or greater cylinder limitation. In this case, power off your system, remove your new drive, and follow the instructions that DiscWizard provides. When configuring System Setup (CMOS), DO NOT USE AUTO. Rather, choose one of the following:
- USER DEFINABLE set to 1024 cyls 16 hds 63 sects
- Drive type 1.
Another option is to contact your computer manufacturer to get a BIOS upgrade that will support more than 4096 cylinders.
*** 6322 Cylinder (3.27 GB) Limitation ***
Some computers have a BIOS that does not properly handle a cylinder value over 6322. If you are in the CMOS Setup attempting to set the cylinder value higher than 6322 (for a 3.27 GB+ drive) and your computer hangs, your computer may have a BIOS with this limitation. To by-pass this limitation, you have two options:
- Set the cylinder value to 1024 or less and use Ontrack's Disk
Manager to provide support for the whole drive.
- Contact your computer manufacturer for a BIOS upgrade, if one is available.
*** Invalid BIOS information ***
Some computers have a BIOS that may display invalid information in the CMOS setup. This issue may show up in one of two ways:
- The CMOS will display the drive parameters and capacity correctly. However, it is not translating the drive correctly.
- The CMOS will display invalid drive parameters. However, the BIOS is translating the drive correctly.
To ensure your drive is translated to its full capacity, you will need to check the actual drive size. This can be done when creating partitions on the drive.
*** 8.4 Gigabyte limit ***
If your drive is larger than 8.4 gigabytes, the capacity may exceed the limits of your system BIOS and operating system. Most system BIOS cannot support ATA drives this large. DOS and Windows operating systems limit the drive capacity to 8.4 Gigabytes per physical drive and 2 Gigabytes per partition.
Because of these limitations, a 32-bit file allocation table (FAT32) is required to acheive full capacity of your drive beyond 8.4 Gigabytes. To acheive full capacity of your drive you need a Windows operating system that supports FAT32 and BIOS support for drives greater than 8.4 Gigabytes, from
one of the following:
Third party device driver, such as Disk Manager , or An intelligent ATA Host Adapter, or A system BIOS upgrade.

just one more to add to this thread.
Happy New Years, The great thing about this post is that there has not been to much egotism and argueing.
Oh stop whinging you wannabe to the throne of whoever it is you envy today!Quote:

Bump.
hehe.
I've seen one with 1023 replies, making it an ofiicial 1K thread...
that'd be cool....
I like to add
Happy New Year! :dunce:

Care to explain that signature to me? Kinda strange...
Anyway, here's yet another post from me... maybe it will actually help...
oh yeah, I'm still waiting on those AntiPoints ;)

:D :D :D :D :D :p :p
if whe have 500 post e-mail me.:D
i can make a trilogie
this is the second part
and this is the last part :(
smile:D
Just adding my part to this never ending thread... :)
SCENE I. Another part of the thread.
Alarum: excursions. Enter Paul Zest and forces posting; to him Negative
NEGATIVE
Post, Paul Zest, post, post!
You enact more wonders than a man,
Daring an opposite to every danger:
Your thread is slain, and all on puter you post,
Seeking for the worlds' longest thread in the throat of death.
Post, fair lord, or else the day is lost!
Alarums. Enter Noble_Hamlet...

Slave, I have set my life upon a cast,
And I will stand the hazard of the die:
I think there be six worlds' longest threads in the field;
Five have I slain to-day instead of him.
A post! a post! my kingdom for a post!
