Download in PDF format Download in text formatNetwork Working Group Vivek Kashyap Request for Comments: 4390 IBM Category: Standards Track April 2006 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) over InfiniBand Status of This Memo This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Copyright Notice Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2006). Abstract IP over Infiniband (IPoIB) link-layer address is 20 octets long. This is larger than the 16 octets reserved for the hardware address in a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol/Bootstrap Protocol (DHCP/BOOTP) message. The above inequality imposes restrictions on the use of the DHCP message fields when used over an IPoIB network. This document describes the use of DHCP message fields when implementing DHCP over IPoIB. Table of Contents 1. Introduction ....................................................2 2.

Introduction The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a framework for passing configuration information to hosts on an IP network [RFC2131]. DHCP is based on the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) [RFC951] adding the capability of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses and additional configuration options [RFC2131,RFC2132]. The DHCP server receives a broadcast request from a client. The DHCP server uses the client interface's hardware address to unicast a reply when the client does not yet have an IP address assigned to it. The "chaddr" field in the DHCP message carries the client's hardware address. The "chaddr" field is 16 octets in length. The IPoIB link-layer address is 20 octets in length [RFC4391]. Therefore, the IPoIB link-layer address will not fit in the "chaddr" field making it impossible for the DHCP server to unicast a reply to the client. To ensure interoperability, the usage of the fields and the method for DHCP interaction must be clarified. This document describes the IPoIB-specific usage of some fields of DHCP. See [RFC2131] for the mechanism of DHCP and the explanations of each field. The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. 2. The DHCP over IPoIB Mechanism As described above, the link-layer address is unavailable to the DHCP server because the link-layer address is larger than the "chaddr" field length. As a result, the server cannot unicast its reply to the client. Therefore, a DHCP client MUST request that the server send a broadcast reply by setting the BROADCAST flag when IPoIB Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is not possible, i.e., in situations where the client does not know its IP address. [RFC1542] discourages the use of a broadcast reply. But in the case of IPoIB, this is a necessity because the server does not receive the link-layer address. To desynchronise broadcasts at subnet startup, [RFC2131] suggests that a client wait a random time (1 to 10 seconds) before initiating server discovery. The same timeout will spread out the DHCP server broadcast responses generated due to the use of the BROADCAST bit. Kashyap Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 4390 DHCP Over Infiniband April 2006 The client hardware address, "chaddr", is unique in the subnet and hence can be used to identify a client interface. But in the absence of a unique "chaddr", another unique client identifier must be used. The DHCP protocol states that the "client identifier" option may be used as the unique identifying value for the client [RFC2132]. This value must be unique within the client's subnet. The "client identifier" option includes a type and identifier pair. The identifier included in the "client identifier" option may consist of a hardware address or any other unique value such as the DNS name of the client. When a hardware address is used, the type field should be one of the ARP hardware types listed in [ARPPARAM]. 2.1. IPoIB-specific Usage of DHCP Message Fields A DHCP client, when working over an IPoIB interface, MUST follow the following rules: "htype" (hardware address type) MUST be 32 [ARPPARAM]. "hlen" (hardware address length) MUST be 0. "chaddr" (client hardware address) field MUST be zeroed. "client-identifier" option MUST be used in DHCP messages. The "client identifier" used in DHCP messages MUST conform to [RFC4361]. 2.2. Use of the BROADCAST flag A DHCP client on IPoIB MUST set the BROADCAST flag in DHCPDISCOVER and DHCPREQUEST messages (and set "ciaddr" to zero) to ensure that the server (or the relay agent) broadcasts its reply to the client. Note: As described in [RFC2131], "ciaddr" MUST be filled in with the client's IP address during BOUND, RENEWING or REBINDING states; therefore, the BROADCAST flag MUST NOT be set. In these cases, the DHCP server unicasts DHCPACK message to the address in "ciaddr". The link address will be resolved by ARP. 3. Security Considerations [RFC2131] describes the security considerations relevant to DHCP. This document does not introduce any new issues. Kashyap Standards Track [Page 3] RFC 4390 DHCP Over Infiniband April 2006 4. Acknowledgement This document borrows extensively from [RFC2855].

The background for my card was stamped with cash receipt, tape measure and the button card in black archival and stamped over with white acrylic paint and bubble wrap. I used various pieces of brown and kraft card, some stamped, others just inked. As the theme is sewing I just had to use the sewing machine, (but I really must get it serviced and checked).
The hessian stamp is an oldie, but very effective.
The buttons were painted with white acrylic and some also added to the white muslin.

Losing your animal is one of the scariest experiences you can have as a pet parent. According to the ASPCA, about 15 percent of pet parents had lost a dog or cat in the previous five years. While we recognize July as National Pet Prevention Month, let's think about how we can prevent the nerve-wracking situation from happening in the first place.
Why Pets Get Lost
Pets can go missing for many reasons. They may escape from an enclosed backyard or inadvertently get let out by your kids during a playdate. They might break away from the leash while you're on vacation or jump out of the car when you stop at a gas station. Pets are also notorious for panicking when they hear the fireworks and thunderstorms that are common during the month of July.
A dog that gets off the leash or wanders may get picked up by a Good Samaritan. However, if your dog gets into a car with a stranger, it can be harder for you to find them. Dogs that get lost may also roam around, unable to find their way home. This is especially a concern if your dog is frightened. Wandering dogs may get in accidents or be attacked by another animal, making it physically impossible for them to return to you.
The most common lost cat scenario involves the cat getting trapped somewhere. When cats don't feel well, they tend to seclude themselves. This can make it tough for you to find your cat even if they haven't left the neighborhood. If your kitty found a safe place to hide in someone else's car, she might accidentally get transported far away from home.
Tips for Pet Loss Prevention
Of course, the best way to help a lost pet is to prevent the animal from going missing in the first place. However, an ID tag on their collar is a great place to start remembering, the collar should fit snugly enough that your pet can't slip it off. Check the hardware on the collar regularly to prevent wear and tear.
Microchipping is also a great way to keep tabs on your furry friend. A microchip is a rice-sized implant embedded under your pet's skin and remains in place for life. Most people know they can bring an animal to a veterinarian, shelter, or rescue organization to scan the pet for a microchip. When your pet's microchip is scanned, a unique number will be displayed on the scanner's screen, matching up with your contact information in a database. If you have your animal microchipped, make sure to keep your data updated.
Although it is important to let your pet have fresh air regularly, keeping it indoors is one of the best ways to prevent losing your pet. Cats can easily jump a fence, and dogs may not be as agile, but they may try to create their own escape routes. If you can keep your eye on your pet while it's outdoors, you can better prevent a lost animal or pet-snatching scenario.
What To Do If Your Pet Does Go Missing
First off, start looking for your pet immediately. The longer you wait, the lower your chances are of recovering your furry friend. Putting up signs and letting neighbors know can help everyone stay on the lookout for your furry loved one. It is also a good idea to call your local veterinarians and animal shelters. They will let you know if a rescuer brings in your animal.
Unfortunately, repeatedly calling your pet's name can make them more frightened, especially if others have tried to do already. If you catch a glimpse of your pet running free, don't chase or call them. Even trying to approach your pet slowly can freak it out if it's already panicked. Getting down on your knees or even lying flat on the ground can help them stay calm. Lastly, you can calmly lure them towards you with a treat. Patience is key!
If you have any questions or want to get your pet microchipped, please call Perrinville Animal Hospital at (425) 775-4992 in Edmonds, WA.

Premiered back in 2005, Yamaha's Tenori-on, designed in collaboration with Toshio Iwai, represented a breakthrough in its approach to sound production and sequencing. Its 16x16 matrix of playable LEDs lets users create intricate, multitimbral performances using the internal sounds, or over MIDI to any sound source desired via 'buttons of light'.
A simple press of any LED triggers a note and the internal sequencer does the rest, playing single notes or chords as the step sequencer cycles round. The concept has proved popular, particularly for performers keen to draw attention to the unit. Bill Bailey famously featured a Tenori-on on his comedy tour and the unit also features prominently in Little Boots' live sets and her Remedy video.
Fast-forward five years and Tenori-on Orange now greets us. With most of the original's functions carried over, this represents a more economical way to get your hands and fingers on Yamaha's concept, but there are some crucial differences between this and the original (now dubbed the TNR-W) so it's well worth a second and closer look.
What's new?
The principal differences between Tenori-on Orange and its big brother are physical. Whereas the original Tenori-on features a brushed aluminium construction, its sibling uses a tough white plastic surround instead. Perhaps more significantly, the new unit features no battery power option, with mains power instead supplied via a bundled wall-wart that connects, somewhat inconveniently, via the front bottom left hand corner.
Also, as a cost-cutting measure, the rear LEDs from the back panel have been removed, leaving a blank white panel in their place. While these LEDs aren't 'active' on the original Tenori-on and simply reflect the pattern playing, they do represent an eye-catching performance element that is lost on the new unit.
On the upside, Tenori-on Orange gets its name from the new LEDs which ditch the original 'white' lights in favour of orange ones instead. These are really pleasing on the eye and show up nicely.
The sound engine at the heart of Tenori-on remains the same - 253 AWM2 generated tones (including 14 drum kits), capable of producing 32 notes of polyphony, with the option to add reverb and chorus to each of the multitimbral layers within a sequence.
Additionally, Tenori-on can play back user samples of up to 0.97 seconds in length (saved to the rear-mounted SD card) or can output its sequences via MIDI. On this subject, improvements have been made courtesy of the recent firmware Version 2.0 update.
Version 2 was launched to address some key issues. For a start, processing performance has been enhanced so that the 'lag' some users experienced with note input is significantly reduced. MIDI sync has been looked at too, with the aim of enhancing Tenori-on's integration into DAW environments.
Unfortunately, things don't run as smoothly here as Yamaha intended. As MIDI controls are still carried out via a breakout MIDI I/O cable, the immediacy of USB connection, favoured by the majority of today's controllers isn't present here. I experienced some frustrations slaving the unit to synchronise within Logic and the manual isn't terribly helpful either.
Also bundled is Tenori-on's Voice Manager, which lets you configure sample content ready for transfer to an SD Card.
In use
In case you've missed out on Tenori-on's wonders, it's worth briefly recapping its modus operandi. A range of modes are available with the system, with Score Mode at the top of the function list. This provides multitimbral playback of a number of internal or MIDI sounds with each sound assigned to a Layer which can have a sequence created for it simply by holding down LEDs which correspond to notes in a sequence.
Alternatively, you can use modes like Random to create 'join the dots' style, less predictable sequences, or Solo mode to construct sequences with different quantise values for a single instrument - perfect for drum sequencing.
Via the ten function buttons on the case to the left and right, you can access parameters specific to either the current sound or sequence playing, so it's possible to build complete performances by dropping from one section to another, temporarily muting instruments, assigning effects to them or adjusting their volume in real-time. It's immediate and fun, but also capable of truly sophisticated results once you've familiarised yourself with Tenori-on's approach.
As the hardware alterations suggest, Yamaha sees this as the studio Tenori-on. This being the case, it's important to ask how well this instrument integrates into the studio environment and whether its feature set matches that which the majority of musicians would want?
The AWM2 soundset onboard is nice to have as a scratchpad to learn Tenori-on's functions and capabilities but we do think that the majority of studio users will soon want to break out from these sounds and apply Tenori's unique sequencing approach to their own noises. Obviously, this is possible via the MIDI breakout cable, but it's fiddly and, as the unit doesn't feature USB and integrate as readily as the majority of controllers available today, this does strike us as a missed opportunity.
Equally, the option to work with samples is great but the 0.97sec sample limitation is restrictive.
We feel in a way that time has caught up with the Tenori-on, and whereas a completely independent hardware unit offering these facilities made sense in 2005 and continues to for the 'big brother' model, were we designing a studio Tenori-on, we'd suggest different changes to those Yamaha have implemented.
The RRP of £599 is perhaps our biggest disappointment, however. Despite 'missing things out' and making the machine out of less impressive materials it's the same price as that originally charged for the original model, which now goes for £699.
Forget any notion of the 'bargain Tenori'. This isn't it. Perhaps the future of Tenori is a control only version, which completely removes the internal sounds and instead provides a USB port and a neat application to let you use the LEDs for note input, clip launching, and even MIDI CC on/off commands. Meanwhile, everything that's unique about Tenori-on's brilliant sequencer would remain. That's the kind of studio Tenori we'd like to see.
But, until such a time arrives, we'd recommend choosing between the current model and new Orange version carefully.

A deportation officer with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was arrested on multiple counts of sodomy last week, according to an Oregon State Police news release.
Blake V. Northway, 55, was arrested Thursday after a joint investigation between state police and ICE's Office of Professional Responsibility. He was charged with 10 counts of sodomy and one count of incest, according to online records with the Jackson County Sheriff's Office. Northway is being held on $1 million bail at the Jackson County Jail, according to those online records.
Northway's charges are not related to his position with ICE, state police said. The release from state police did not give any details of the alleged offenses.
Northway was assigned to ICE's Medford office, in southern Oregon.
Tanya Roman, ICE spokeswoman, was quoted in the state police news release as saying the agency holds "its officers to the highest standards of professional conduct and does not tolerate those who violate the law."
"ICE will continue to cooperate until this case has been resolved," Roman said.
Northway has been relieved of all ICE authority and placed on leave pending the results of the criminal investigation, state police said.
It is not clear if Northway has obtained an attorney. CNN efforts to reach Northway were unsuccessful.

"Paris Gamin" was shot in about 1918 by Lewis Hine, and is in the fabulous survey of his work that's on view for only a few more days at the International Center of Photography. Hine, of course, is famous for his images of working people – mostly children – stuck in an unjust and cruel system. His photos of kids, especially, are almost unfailingly touching and sensitive, conveying the sense (true or false) that the photographer genuinely felt for them. The only problem is that this leads Hine to make his subjects look luminous and gorgeous – with this French urchin as a prime example. They might as well have been shot by a fashion photog. And, in the presence of so much beauty and elegance, it's hard to feel that there's much wrong with the world. Hines's pictures don't make us feel miserable enough, for the misery of their subjects to impinge fully on us. There's too much love in them.

Delhi Daredevils vs Sunrisers Hyderabad on 12 April 2013: Astrology Prediction!
Much awaited tournament series IPL has begun. All are interested in knowing the winners of each game and for Astrologers also it is a good time to test their skills. I am using horary branch of Astrology and a system which is mix of traditional Astrology, KP and Numerology. The system used is quite similar to the one taught by Lt. Shree Suresh Sahasne.
The Horary question that I asked is who will win the match between DD and SRH today. I am asking this question on DD behalf and it is the first team. Here is the analysis:
Match 12/4/2013 DD Vs SRH
Time: 22:00:00
Place: New Delhi
Date: 12/4/2013
KP Ayanamsa: 23-56-44.94
DD Vs SRH
The match will begin at 20:00 on Delhi ground.1st team is DD and second is SRH.
I have used KP System Numerology which takes only the numbers of the signs into the account of the ruling planets and omit the signs whose Lord is retrograde.
Thus the numbers are:
Ascendant Lord = Mars = 9
Moon Star Lord = Venus = 9
Moon Rashi Lord = Mars = 9
Day Lord = Venus = 9
The resultant remaining after calculation is 1 and so team 1st (DD) should win.
Winner: DD will win this match.
Other experimental predictions
a) Toss might be won by SRH.
b) Toss winning team might choose to bat first.
c) Score could be high >160<190.
d) No. of sixes could be around 8 to 10.
