Creation of dna-private

• Needed a way to reach all DNAs
• only 95 (of 260) DNAs receive DISTCONS
• only 60 DNAs receive DNETADMIN
• dna-private is only DNAs and OIT support
• DNAs are automatically added
• posting only permitted from registered address -
  host master can add aliases
• replies go to sender

Proposed OSUNET Policy Change
Monitoring the Network OIT reserves the right to
monitor any device or network connected to OSUNET
in order to gather statistics and to ensure
reliable operation of OSUNET. This does not
include reading data content, but by necessity,
does include examining packet headers and
trailers to determine operational
characteristics, such as protocol types, proper
use of network addresses, traffic demand, etc.
Devices or networks that are connected to OSUNet
are required to enable echo request and echo
reply functionality - currently (5/2003) this is
ICMP basedping. This functionality must be
available to the entire OSU community.

DNA Boot Camp Discussion

• Basic Boot Camp content would be very similar,
  but the pace would be slower.
• What important material have we missed?
• What are we including that is not necessary?
• Should successful completion be measured? If
  so,how?
