Arife, Lorenzo,
If Henk will have time tomorrow, shall we discuss it tomorrow?
No, sorry, I won't. I'm flying back from Brisbane right now, my plan was to stop by the office for 2 hours at most tomorrow, just to say hi to Robert. I then have Thu pm and Friday off. Let's discuss this Monday. Can one of you schedule something? In the meantime, we should send them a "keep-alive" (sorry, we're really busy, we'll look at this next week). Henk
Even if we can not make it, it would be nice to tell them.

That is more of a problem. If we can set this up easily, we should do this. If not, talk to Shane and see if he has the resources. In any case, we should reply to the original requestor "soon".
Actually, it would be really nice if Lorenzo will pick it up. I will not have time to do it for couple of weeks.
Ok, so what these guys want to do is see how traffic shifts in different prepending configurations. They have already performed this using another AS (their own?) and they would like to do this from AS12654 as well.
This is a reasonable research project, but implementing this on our side is more than a couple of hours of work. I don't really know much about RRC configuration file backups and the like, but it will probably take at least a day or two if we want to do it in any non-hackish manner. And of course whoever does it needs to have operational access to the RRCs.
I can try to take care of this, but I'm not sure I'll have time to do this properly before the RIPE meeting.
Cheers, Lorenzo
