A VCN is a customizable private network in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Just like a traditional data center network, a VCN provides you with complete control over your network environment. This includes assigning your own private IP address space, creating subnets, creating route tables, and configuring stateful firewalls. A single tenancy (an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure account) can have multiple VCNs, thereby providing grouping and isolation of related resources. For example, you might use multiple VCNs to separate the resources in different departments in your company.
For a complete list of components, see Overview of Networking.
For a quick tutorial on how to launch an instance inside a VCN in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, see the Getting Started Guide.
Also see these topics:
When you create your VCN, you assign a contiguous IPv4 CIDR block of your choice. VCN sizes ranging from /16 (65,533 IP addresses) to /30 (1 IP address) are allowed. Example: 10.0.0.0/16, 192.168.0.0/24.
We recommend using a CIDR block from the private address ranges specified by RFC1918. If you use a non-RFC1918 CIDR block, note that it is still treated as a private IP address range and is not routable from the internet via Oracle's internet gateway.
You create subnets by subdividing the VCN's address range into contiguous IPv4 CIDR blocks. A subnet's CIDR block must fall within the VCN's CIDR block. When you launch an instance into a subnet, the instance's private IP address is allocated from the subnet's CIDR block.
Yes. When you create a subnet, you can specify the access type: either private or public. A subnet is created with public access by default, in which case the instances in the subnet can be allocated a public IP address. Instances launched in a subnet with private access are prohibited from having public IP addresses, which ensures these instances have no direct internet access.
Subnets can span multiple availability domains, but not multiple VCNs. If you create a regional subnet, the subnet's resources can reside in any availability domain (AD) in the region. However, if you create an AD-specific subnet, the subnet's resources must reside in the subnet's particular availability domain.
Yes. However, if you intend to connect a VCN to your on-premise network or another VCN, we recommend you ensure that the IP address ranges don't overlap.
For current limits for all services and instructions for requesting a service limit increase, see the Service Limits Help Documentation.
Yes. You can modify the subnet's name and change which route table, security lists, and set of DHCP options are associated with it. However, you cannot change the subnet's CIDR block.
The new functionality is available in the commercial realm. It will be made available in other realms in the future.
The new functionality is available in all commercial Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) regions.
Yes. However, you must update the DRG using the update process specified in the documentation.
Communications between DRG attachments (including VCNs) is controlled by route tables and their associated import policies. The default VCN attachment route table enables all attached VCNs to communicate with one another. You may change the associated import policy to achieve isolation of VCNs as show here.
Yes. However, this requires specific IAM policies to be configured.
The DRG supports dynamic and static routing between attached networks. The DRG has two default route tables. One for your FastConnect, IPsec VPN, and RPC peering connection attachments and one for VCN attachments. You can create additional route tables for more granular control of traffic flow between attachments. The routes decide the next hop attachment depending on the destination IP address of the packet.
Static routes have higher preference than dynamic routes. You cannot create multiple static routes for the same classless inter-domain routing (CIDR). For dynamic routes, conflicts are resolved as follows:
You can specify how routes are imported and exported on a per route table basis by modifying the associated import and export policies. Routes are propagated as follows:
You can connect two OCI VCNs with overlapping CIDRs to the same DRG. The DRG's route table makes a deterministic and consistent forwarding decision to determine which VCN attachment is the next hop for the conflicting subnet CIDRs. This preference order is not customer controllable. Due to the complexity in controlling this behavior, overlapping CIDRs are not recommended.
Yes, the DRG now allows you to use a FastConnect in one region to communicate with resources in a VCN in another region.
Details on limits and quotas can be found in our documentation.
Should you need to exceed these limits, please create a support
Yes, the DRG supports attaching VCNs with IPv6 CIDRs.
The default behavior of the DRG has not changed. You need to explicitly enable the new features.
The DRG has two default route tables. One for your FastConnect, IPsec VPN, and RPC peering connection attachments and one for VCN attachments. These two default route tables implement the existing DRG behaviour.
Each VCN can have up to 10 local peering gateways and one DRG. A single DRG supports up to 300 VCN attachments. We recommend using the DRG if you need to peer with a large number of VCNs. In addition, If you want extremely high bandwidth and super low-latency traffic between two VCNs in the same region, use the scenario described in Local VCN Peering using Local Peering Gateways. Peering two VCNs in the same region through a DRG gives you more flexibility in your routing, but comes at the cost of higher latency and potentially lower bandwidth.
The current limit is 8 paths
Please see the 'Upgrading a DRG' section here.
The servers in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure data centers have physical network interface cards (NICs). When you launch an instance on one of these servers, the instance communicates using the networking service's virtual NICs (VNICs) associated with the physical NICs. A VNIC enables a compute instance to be connected to a VCN and determines how the instance communicates with endpoints inside and outside the VCN.
Each VNIC resides in a subnet and has the following configuration:
For more information, see Virtual Network Interface Cards (VNICs).
Every instance in your VCN is created with a VNIC, which has a private IP address (assigned by you or Oracle) from the subnet provided at instance creation, and a corresponding public IP address. This VNIC is referred to as the primary VNIC, and its private IP address as the primary private IP address.
The primary VNIC cannot be detached from the instance. It gets automatically deleted when the instance is terminated.
Every instance in your VCN has at least one VNIC, which is its primary VNIC. You can attach additional VNICs to an instance which are referred to as secondary VNICs. The secondary VNICs can belong to different VCNs or subnets.
The limit to how many VNICs can be attached to an instance varies by shape. For those limits, see Compute Shapes Support Documentation.
Yes. Query the instance metadata service available at http://169.254.169.254/opc/v1/vnics/.
Yes. In case of the primary VNIC, you can specify the private IP address at instance launch. In case of secondary VNICs, you can specify a private IP address when you attach the VNIC to an instance. The specified private IP address should belong to the same subnet the VNIC belongs to, and should not be in use.
No. Currently, VNICs are always bound to the instance and do not exist independently. The primary VNIC is created and destroyed with the instance. All secondary VNICs are created and destroyed when they are attached and detached respectively.
Yes. However, attaching multiple VNICs from the same subnet CIDR block to an instance can introduce asymmetric routing, especially on instances using a variant of Linux. If you need this type of configuration, Oracle recommends assigning multiple private IP addresses to one VNIC, or using policy-based routing. For an example, see the script in the Linux: Configuring the OS for Secondary VNICs.
No. All VNICs must belong to subnets in the same AD as the instance. When using regional subnets, the VNICs must be created in the same AD as the instance.
Yes. You can attach secondary VNICs that belong to a subnet of a VCN that is different from the VCN of the primary VNIC.
Every compute instance in your VCN is created with a virtual network interface card (VNIC) and is assigned a private IP address from the subnet provided at instance launch. These are the primary VNIC and its primary private IP address, respectively. You can also attach additional VNICs to an instance, referred to as secondary VNICs, which also have a primary private IP address.
You can let Oracle choose the private IP address, or you can choose it from the subnet's available pool. If the address you specify is already in use, the launch request will fail.
Additionally, you can assign secondary private IP addresses to a VNIC. Similar to primary private IP addresses, a secondary private IP address provides connectivity to destinations within your VCN and/or on premise (when there is connectivity through VPN or Oracle Cloud Infrastructure FastConnect).
Yes. You can move a secondary private IP address from a VNIC on one instance to a VNIC on another instance, provided that both VNICs belong to the same subnet and authorization allows the operation. When using regional subnets, the secondary private IP can be moved to a VNIC in a different AD as well.
Currently you can assign up to 31 secondary private IP addresses to a VNIC.
No. The OS cannot discover the secondary private IP address using mechanisms like DHCP. You need to configure the secondary private IP addresses using an OS-specific procedure. For more information, see the scripts provided in Virtual Network Interface Cards (VNICs).
A public IP address is an IPv4 address that is reachable from the internet (an internet-routable IP address). An instance in your VCN communicates with hosts on the internet via a public IP address. A private IP address is not internet routable. Instances inside the VCN communicate with each other using private IP addresses.
You can assign a public IP address to a private IP address of a compute instance, or to a load balancer instance, and enable them to communicate with the internet. For a public IP address to be reachable over the internet, the VCN it's in must have an internet gateway, and the public subnet must have route tables and security lists configured accordingly.
There are two types of public IP addresses:
For more details and a table comparing the two types, see Public IP Addresses Help Documentation.
A public IP address becomes the identity of your service for clients that cannot use the DNS FQDN. A reserved public IP address allows you to keep this identity regardless of any changes to the underlying resources. Here are a couple of specific scenarios that can benefit from using a reserved public IP address:
You can assign only one reserved public IP address to any (primary or secondary) private IP address. However, you can assign multiple private IP addresses to each VNIC attached to your instance. You can then assign a reserved public IP address to each of these private IP addresses.
There is a limit on the maximum number of reserved public IP addresses you can create in your tenancy. See the Service Limits Help Documentation.
You can assign only one ephemeral public IP address to any primary private IP address of the VNIC. However, you can create and attach multiple VNICs to your instance. You can then assign an ephemeral private IP address to each of the primary IP address of each VNIC.
There is a limit on the maximum number of ephemeral public IP addresses that can be assigned to an instance. See the Service Limits Help Documentation.
Yes, but only if it's assigned to a secondary private IP on a VNIC. If you move that secondary private IP to a different VNIC (which must be in the same subnet), the ephemeral public IP goes with it.
Yes, and you can move it from one availability domain or VCN to another. The VCNs must be in the same region.
There are two ways to move a reserved public IP:
Note that when you reboot the instance, there is no impact to the corresponding ephemeral public IP addresses.
You see only the private IP address of your compute instance. If the instance is assigned a public IP address, the networking service provides a one-to-one NAT (static NAT) between the private and public IP addresses when the instance tries to communicate to a destination on the internet (through the internet gateway).
At the instance OS level, you see only the private IP address of the VNIC attached to the instance. When traffic sent to the public IP address is received, the networking service does a network address translation (NAT) from the public IP address to the corresponding private IP address. The traffic shows up inside your instance with the destination IP address set to the private IP address.
No. The networking service assigns the MAC address.
Yes. IPv6 is supported. For more information, see IPv6 Addresses.
No, not currently.
No, not currently.
Bring your own IP (BYOIP) allows you to import publicly routable IPv4 CIDR blocks to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure so that your resources can use them.
IP addresses are assets that are carefully managed and controlled by an organization. Some applications require strong IP Reputation for sending mail, other applications have established accessibility policies in global deployments and some applications have architectural decencies on their IP addresses. The migration of an IP prefix from an on-premises infrastructure to OCI allows you to minimize the impact to your customers and applications while taking advantage of all the benefits of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. BYOIP in OCI will allow you to minimize downtime during migration by simultaneously advertising your IP address prefix from OCI and withdrawing it from the on-premises environment.
The process to move an IP prefix for use in OCI starts in the portal under Networking>IP Management or can be initiated via the API. There are just a few easy steps.
1 - initiate the request to bring an IP CIDR to OCI (the IP CIDR must be a /24 or
larger that is owned by your organization).
2 - Register a validation token generated from the request with the regional
Internet registry (RIR) service (ARIN, RIPE, or APNIC). Follow the steps in the documentation.
3 - After you register your token, you return to the Console and click "Validate
CIDR block" so Oracle can complete the validation process. Oracle validates your CIDR block has
been properly registered for the transfer and provisions your BYOIP. This step can take up to 10
business days. You are notified by email when the process is complete. You can also check the
progress of this step in your work requests.
What to do with the validation token issued by Oracle? As part of importing a BYOIP CIDR block, Oracle issues a validation token. Once you have your token, you will need to modify it slightly, adding the information shown below. You can use any text editor.
OCITOKEN:: <CIDRblock> : <validation_token>
To Submit the validation token to your RIR (Regional Internet Registry).
ARIN: Add the modified token string in the "Public Comments" section for your address range. Do
not add it to the comments section for your organization.
RIPE: Add the modified token string as a new "descr" field for your address range. Do not add it
to the comments section for your organization.
APNIC: Add it to the "remarks" field for your address range by emailing the modified token
string to firstname.lastname@example.com. Send the email using the
APNIC authorized contact for the IP addresses.
After the IP CIDR is validated you have full control of the IP CIDR. Manage the prefix by breaking it into smaller IP Pools and create reserved IP addresses for use with your resources.
You can assign BYOIP addresses to compute, NAT Gateway, and LBaaS instances. You can manage IP space through IP Pools and create reserved IP addresses.
Once the IP prefix is onboarded to OCI you control the advertisement and withdrawal of the prefix.
BYOIP validation and provisioning can take up to 10 business days. You will be notified by email when the process is complete.
No. The BYOIP prefix is assigned to a specific OCI region and will only be advertised in the region it is onboarded.
The minimum prefix for BYOIP is a /24 and the maximum prefix is a /8. You do not have to bring all of your IP space to OCI. If you own a larger IP block, you can choose which prefixes to bring to OCI.
After the prefix is onboarded, you control the distribution of addresses and policy within your OCI tenant. You can keep the prefix in one IP pool or distribute the prefix down to /28's for use with your OCI resources.
Yes. You can create reserved IP addresses from a BYOIP prefix. See more information under "IP Addressing" here: https://www.oracle.com/cloud/networking/virtual-cloud-network-faq.html
The BYOIP feature supports IPv4 prefixes only.
Yes. You can still use Oracle owned ephemeral and reserved IP addresses along with your own IP addresses. Standard limits apply to Oracle addresses.
The instances can connect to:
An internet gateway is a software-defined, highly available, fault-tolerant router providing public internet connectivity for resources inside your VCN. Using an internet gateway, a compute instance with a public IP address assigned to it can communicate with hosts and services on the internet.
In lieu of using an internet gateway, you can connect your VCN to your on-premise data center, from which you can route traffic to the internet via your existing network egress points.
A NAT gateway is a reliable and highly available router that provides outbound-only internet connectivity for resources inside your VCN. With a NAT gateway, private instances (with only a private IP address) can initiate connections to hosts and services on the internet, but not receive inbound connections initiated from the internet.
No. The default limit is one NAT gateway per VCN. We expect this to be sufficient for the vast majority of applications.
If you would like to allocate more than one NAT gateway in a specific VCN, request a limit increase. For instructions on how to request an increase in limits, see Service Limits.
Instances get the same throughput with the NAT gateway as they do when the traffic is routed through an internet gateway. In addition, a single traffic flow through the NAT gateway is limited to 1Gbps (or less for small instance shapes).
Yes. There is a limit of ~20,000 concurrent connections to a single destination IP address and port. This limit is aggregate of all connections initiated by instances across the VCN that are using the NAT gateway.
A dynamic routing gateway is a software-defined, highly available, fault-tolerant router that you can add to a VCN. It provides a private path for traffic between the VCN and other networks outside the VCN's region, such as your on-premise data center or a peered VCN in another region. To connect your VCN with your on-premise data center, you can set up an IPSec VPN or FastConnect to the VCN's DRG. The connection enables your on-premise hosts and instances to communicate securely.
You use this object if you set up an IPSec VPN. It's a virtual representation of the actual router that is on-premises at your site, at your end of the VPN. When you create this object as part of setting up an IPSec VPN, you specify the public IP address of your on-premise router.
No. You just need to provision a DRG, attach it to your VCN, configure the CPE object and IPSec connection, and configure the route tables.
See the list of tested device configurations.
Yes. If you configure it according to Generic CPE Configuration Information. We support multiple configuration options to maximize interoperability with different VPN devices.
Oracle provisions two VPN tunnels as part of the IPSec connection. Make sure to configure both tunnels on your CPE for redundancy.
Additionally, you can deploy two CPEs routers in your on-premise data center with each configured for both tunnels.
IPSec VPN is an open standard and software IPSec VPNs can interoperate with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. You need to verify that your software IPSec VPN supports at least one supported Oracle IPSec parameter in each configuration group according to Generic CPE Configuration Information.
Yes. Traffic between two OCI public IP addresses in the same region stays within the OCI region. Traffic between OCI public IP addresses in different regions travels over the private OCI backbone. In either case, traffic does not traverse the Internet. The complete list of OCI public IP addresses can be found here: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/tools/public_ip_ranges.json.
The Oracle Services Network is a conceptual network in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure that is reserved for Oracle services. The network comprises a list of regional CIDR blocks. Every service in the Oracle Services Network exposes a service endpoint that uses public IP addresses from the network. A large number of Oracle services are currently available in this network (see the complete list), and more services will be added in the future as they get deployed on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
A service gateway lets resources in your VCN privately and securely access Oracle services in the Oracle Services Network, such as Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage, ADW, and ATP. Traffic between an instance in the VCN and a supported Oracle service uses the instance's private IP address for routing, travels over the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure fabric, and never traverses the internet. Much like the internet gateway or NAT gateway, the service gateway is a virtual device that is highly available and dynamically scales to support the network bandwidth of your VCN.
Currently, you can configure the service gateway to access Oracle services in the Oracle Services Network. A large number of Oracle services are currently available in this network (see the complete list), and more services will be added in the future as they get deployed on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
For instructions, see the Access to Object Storage: Service Gateway. Please note that the service gateway allows access to Oracle services within the region to protect your data from the internet. Your applications may require access to public endpoints or services not supported by the service gateway, for example, for updates or patches. Ensure you have a NAT gateway or other access to the internet if necessary.
The service gateway uses the concept of a service CIDR label, which is a string that represents all the regional public IP address ranges for the service or a group of services (for example, OCI IAD Services in Oracle Services Network is the label that maps to the regional CIDR blocks in the Oracle Services Network in us-ashburn-1). You use the service CIDR label when you configure the service gateway and route/security rules. For instructions, see the Access to Oracle Services: Service Gateway.
No. The service gateway is regional and can access only services running in the same region.
Yes. If you're using a service gateway, you can define an IAM policy that allows access to a bucket only if the requests come from a specific VCN or CIDR range. The IAM policy works only for traffic routed through the service gateway. Access is blocked if the IAM policy is in place and the traffic instead goes through an internet gateway. Also, be aware that the IAM policy prevents you from accessing the bucket through the console. Access is allowed only programmatically from resources in the VCN.
For an example IAM policy, see the Access to Object Storage: Service Gateway.
No. A VCN can have only one service gateway at this time.
No. A VCN that is peered with another VCN that has a service gateway cannot use that service gateway to access Oracle services.
No. However, you can use FastConnect public peering to do this (without going through internet).
No. Instances get the same throughput with the service gateway as they do when the traffic is routed through an internet gateway.
The service gateway is free for all Oracle Cloud Infrastructure customers.
A security list provides a virtual firewall for an instance, with ingress and egress rules that specify the types of traffic allowed in and out of the instance. You can secure your compute instance by using security lists. You configure your security lists at the subnet level, which means all the instances in the subnet are subject to the same set of security list rules. The rules are enforced at the instance level and control traffic at the packet level.
A given VNIC on an instance is subject to the security lists associated with the VNIC's subnet. When you create a subnet, you specify one or more security lists to associate with it, and that can include the VCN's default security list. If you don't specify at least one security list during subnet creation, the VCN's default security list is associated with the subnet. The security lists are associated at the subnet level, but the rules apply to the VNIC's traffic at the packet level.
Yes. You can edit subnet properties to add or remove security lists. You can also edit the individual rules in a security list.
There's a limit to the number of security lists you can create, the number of lists you can associate with a subnet, and the number of rules you can add to a given list. For current service limits and instructions on how to request an increase in limits, see the Service Limits Help Documentation.
No. Security lists use only "allow" rules. All traffic is denied by default and only network traffic matching the attributes specified in the rules is permitted.
Each rule is either stateful or stateless, and either an ingress rule or an egress rule.
With stateful rules, once a network packet matching the rule is allowed, connection tracking is used and all further network packets belonging to this connection are automatically allowed. So if you create a stateful ingress rule, both incoming traffic matching the rule and the corresponding outgoing (response) traffic are allowed.
With stateless rules, only the network packets matching the rule are allowed. So, if you create a stateless ingress rule, only the incoming traffic is allowed. You need to create a corresponding stateless egress rule to match the corresponding outgoing (response) traffic.
For more information, see the Security Lists Support Documentation.
Network security groups and security lists are two different ways to implement security rules, which are rules that control allowed ingress and egress traffic to and from VNICs.
Security lists let you defined a set of security rules that apply to all the VNICs in a given subnet. Network security groups (NSGs) let you define a set of security rules that apply to a group of VNICs of your choice. For example: a group of Compute instances that have the same security posture.
For more information, see:
No. By default, all traffic is denied. Security rules only allow traffic. The set of rules that applies to a given VNIC is the union of these items:
Compute, load balancing, and database services. This means that when you create a compute instance, a load balancer, or a database system, you can specify one or more network security groups to control traffic for those resources.
With the introduction of NSGs, there's no change to security list behavior. Your VCN still has a default security list that you may optionally use with your VCN's subnets.
When writing rules for an NSG, you have the option to specify an NSG as the source of traffic (for ingress rules) or the traffic's destination (for egress rules). The ability to specify an NSG means that you can easily write rules to control traffic between two different NSGs. The NSGs must be in the same VCN.
No. When you write an NSG security rule that specifies another NSG as the source or destination, that NSG must be in the same VCN. This is true even if the other NSG is in a peered VCN.'s different from security list.
Security lists let you define a set of security rules that apply to all the VNICs in an entire subnet while network security groups (NSGs) let you define a set of security rules that apply to a group of VNICs of your choice (including the VNIC's of load balancers or database systems) within a VCN.
A VCN route table contains rules to route traffic that's ultimately destined for locations outside the VCN.
Each rule in a route table has a destination CIDR block and a route target. When the subnet's outgoing traffic matches the destination CIDR block of the route rule, traffic is routed to the route target. Examples of common route targets include: an internet gateway or a dynamic routing gateway.
For more information, see Route Tables.
A given VNIC on an instance is subject to the route table associated with the VNIC's subnet. When you create a subnet, you specify one route table to associate with it, and that can be the VCN's default route table or another you've already created. If you don't specify a route table during subnet creation, the VCN's default route table is associated with the subnet. The route table is associated at the subnet level, but the rules apply to the VNIC's traffic at the packet level.
No. Currently, you can add a route rule only for a CIDR block that doesn't overlap with the VCN's address space.
Yes. You can edit subnet properties to change the route table. You can also edit the individual rules in a route table.
No. Not currently.
There's a limit to the number of rules in a route table. See the Service Limits Help Documentation.
Yes. You can use a private IP as the target of a route rule in situations where you want to route a subnet's traffic to another instance in the same VCN. For requirements and other details, see Using a Private IP as a Route Target.
VCN peering is a process of connecting two VCNs to enable private connectivity and traffic flow between them. There are two general types of peering:
For more information, see Access to Other VCNs: Peering.
For instructions, see Local VCN Peering.
No. The two VCNs in a local peering relationship cannot have overlapping CIDRs.
Yes. If VCN-1 is peered with two other VCNs (say VCN-2 and VCN-3), those two VCNs (VCN-2 and VCN-3) can have overlapping CIDRs.
A given VCN can have a maximum of ten local peerings at a time.
No. You establish a remote peering connection using a dynamic routing gateway (DRG).
For instructions, see Remote VCN Peering.
No. The two VCNs in a remote peering relationship cannot have overlapping CIDRs.
No. If VCN-1 is remotely peered with two other VCNs (VCN-2 and VCN-3), those two VCNs (VCN-2 and VCN-3) cannot have overlapping CIDRs.
Yes. Your remote VCN peering traffic is encrypted using industry standard link encryption.
A given VCN can have a maximum of ten remote peerings at a time.
Yes. You can use VCN-A's route tables and security lists to control connectivity to the peered VCN-B. You can allow connectivity to the full address range of VCN-B or limit it to one or more subnets.
Yes. After the local or remote peering is established, the instances in VCN-B can send traffic to the full address range of VCN-A. However, you can limit access from instances in VCN-B to a specific subnet in VCN-A by using appropriate ingress rules in the subnet's security lists.
No. Throughput and latency should be close to intra-VCN connections. Traffic over the local peering has similar availability and bandwidth constraints as the traffic between instances in a VCN.
Remote VCN peering uses the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure inter-region backbone, which is designed to deliver superior performance and availability characteristics, and a 99.5% availability SLA for inter-region connectivity. As a guideline, Oracle provides more than 75Mbps throughput and latency less than 60ms between U.S. regions, 80ms between the EU and the U.S., 175ms between U.S. and APAC, and 275ms between EU and APAC.
The VCN transit routing (VTR) solution is based on a hub-and-spoke topology and enables the hub VCN to provide transit connectivity between multiple spoke VCNs (within the region) and on-premise networks. Only a single FastConnect or IPSec VPN (connected to the hub VCN) is required for the on-premise network to communicate with all the spoke VCNs.
See the instructions in Setting Up VCN Transit Routing in the Console.
Currently, the spoke VCNs can access your on-premise networks using the hub VCN.
No. The VCN transit routing solution only supports consolidated connectivity between VCNs in the same region.
Yes. You control this with the route table associated with the LPG on the hub VCN. You can configure restrictive route rules that specify only the on-premise subnets that you want to make available to the spoke VCN. The routes advertised to the spoke VCN are those in that route table and the hub VCN's CIDR.
Yes. You control this with the route table associated with the DRG on the hub VCN. You can configure restrictive route rules that specify only the spoke VCN subnets that you want to make available to the on-premise network. The routes advertised to the on-premise network are those in that route table and the hub VCN's CIDR.
Yes. The hub VCN is limited to a maximum of 10 local peerings with spoke VCNs.
Yes. You can add a service gateway to a VCN that is connected to your on-premise network by way of FastConnect or Site-to-Site VPN. You can then configure route rules on the route tables associated with VCN's DRG and service gateway to direct on-premises traffic through the VCN to the Oracle services of interest. You on-premises hosts can use their private IPs when communicating with the Oracle services, and the traffic does not go over the internet.
For more information, see Transit Routing: Private Access to Oracle Services.
Yes. You can set up transit routing through a private IP in the hub VCN. In this case, you route the traffic to a private IP on the firewall instance in the hub VCN. The firewall instance can inspect all traffic between you on-premise network and spoke VCNs.
If you are routing via a firewall instance (or any other network virtual appliance) in the hub VCN, the performance limits are based on the I/O characteristics of the network virtual appliance. If you're not routing the traffic through a network virtual appliance—and are routing directly through the hub VCN's gateways—there are no performance limits. The gateways are virtual devices that are highly available and dynamically scale to support the network bandwidth requirements of your network.
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a framework for passing configuration information to hosts on an IP network. Configuration parameters and other control information are carried to the instance in the options field ( RFC 2132) of the DHCP message. Each subnet in a VCN can have a single set of DHCP options associated with it.
You can configure two options that control how instances in your VCN resolve domain name system (DNS) hostnames:
When resolving a DNS query, the instance's OS uses the DNS servers specified with DNS type and appends the search domain to the value being queried. For more information, see DHCP Options.
Yes. You can edit subnet properties to change which set of DHCP options the subnet uses. You can also change the values of the DHCP options.
When you launch an instance, you can specify a hostname for the instance, along with a display name. This hostname, combined with the subnet's domain name, becomes the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of your instance. This FQDN is unique within the VCN and resolves to the private IP address of your instance. For more details, see DNS in Your Virtual Cloud Network.
Note that to specify a hostname for the instance, the VCN and subnet must be configured to enable DNS hostnames.
When you create a VCN, you can specify its DNS label. This, combined with the parent domain oraclevcn.com, becomes the domain name of the VCN.
When you create a subnet, you can specify its DNS label. This, combined with the VCN's domain name, becomes the domain name of the subnet.
You can enable a hostname for a compute instance only if the VCN and subnet are both created with a DNS label.
A DNS hostname is a name that corresponds to the IP address of an instance connected to a network. In case of an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure VCN, every instance can be configured with a DNS hostname that corresponds to the private address of the instance.
A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of an instance looks like hostname.subnetdnslabel.vcndnslabel.oraclevcn.com, where hostname is the DNS hostname of the instance, subnetdnslabel and vcndnslabel are the DNS labels of the instance's subnet and the VCN respectively.
The parent domain oraclevcn.com is reserved for use with DNS hostnames created in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
Yes. DNS hostnames are created for instances regardless of the DNS type selected for the subnet.
No. The instance can resolve hostnames only of instances within the same VCN.
Yes, you can do this with custom DNS servers set up within the VCN. You can configure the custom DNS servers to use 169.254.169.254 as the forwarder for the VCN domain (like contoso.oraclevcn.com).
Note that the custom DNS servers must be configured in a subnet that uses "internet and VCN resolver" as the DNS type (to allow access to the 169.254.169.254 IP address).
For an example of an implementation with the Oracle Terraform provider, see Hybrid DNS Configuration.
There is no charge for creating VCNs and using them. However, usage charges for other Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services (including compute and block volumes) and data transfer charges apply at the published rates. There are no data transfer charges for any communication among resources within a VCN.
You are charged only the published Oracle Cloud Infrastructure outbound data transfer rates. There is no hourly or monthly VPN connection charge.
You don't incur data transfer charges when accessing other public Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services, such as object storage, in the same region. All network traffic via private or public IPs between your instances and other resources inside your VCN, such as a database or load balancer, is free of data transfer charges.
If you access public Oracle Cloud Infrastructure resources via your IPSec VPN from inside your VCN, you incur the published outbound data transfer charges.
Unless otherwise noted, the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure prices, including outbound data transfer charges, exclude applicable taxes and duties, including VAT and any applicable sales tax.

LONDON (AP) — United Airlines has suffered an hours-long problem with its computer systems that resulted in delays and cancellations globally.
Passengers travelling late Thursday and early Friday took to social media to complain about delays as long as six hours.
United posted a statement on its Twitter account saying "we're aware of an issue with our system & are working to resolve it." By 3 a.m. EDT (0700 GMT), United officials claimed to have fixed it and said delayed flights were resuming.
Flight tracking service FlightStats showed 20 United flights were delayed and seven canceled worldwide by European morning hours.

MSG150's good friend Tien has been talking up LA Cafe for years. It was not in the path of our original route so it went untouched. Now, as we expand east, LA Cafe gets its day.

Lunch: Rice with Preserved Meat and Steamed Frog in Hot Pot - $8.95Rating:
Emmett's Review
Dude our trip into the heart of darkness keeps getting better. LA Cafe -- sounds like they sell crappy pizzas with goat cheese and no sauce -- has a lot of glitter and LED going for it on the outside. It is decorated like a diner, and gestures, invitingly for us to come in and gossip about the latest Beverly Hills Cop and how awesome A-Ha is.
Like these other Hong Kong Style diner places, the menu is immense. I asked the waiter to boil it down to one simple option - what does he like the best. Without hesitation he recommended the Rice Hot Pot with Chinese Sausages and Frog. Hells yeah BRING IT. I've had frog before (grew up in FL -- we eat weird) so I was initiated. However this was a new discovery for the ID. I dove in.
The rice was cooked well done, had very little flavor. The sausages were tasty, though not outstanding, definitely enhanced the rice. The frog legs were small, bony, a bit fishy and chickeny. The sauce it came with rounded out the flavors with some salty savoriness.
For dessert we had the black glass jelly. Try to pronounce that if you're an ESL kid and you'll sense our confusion as we ordered dessert. It was unlike anything I ever tried. It was bitter, cold, like jello. Jet black. Interesting. Apparently homemade as well. It cleansed the palate, leave my mouth fresh, clean, black.
Our server was fantastic. Prompt courteous service, and he encouraged us to try new things. The variety was definitely a refreshing change. My meal wasn't the greatest but I'm excited to come back, and see what else is in store.

Adam's Review
Back up to the Pacific Rim Center. I'm sure everyone will mention this, but we had a coworker, Tien, who absolutely loved this place. Geary sent her a message that we were going here, and she came back with a recommendation to get the "Grilled Chicken Steak."
I ordered the Grilled Chicken Steak... which apparently means Fried Chicken Steak. So, here comes a shocker: the fried chicken was friggin' delicious. I had my choice between 4 different sauces, and I went with the Garlic Sauce. So I've got this piece of fried chicken that is covered in what is essentially Garlic Gravy. All I can say is "winner." Get it.
The lunch special comes with all sorts of choices. I got to choose the sauce for my chicken steak. I got to chose between Seafood and Tomato Soup (I went with the Seafood, it was very sea-foody, and good). I got to chose between Mango Yogurt and Black Glass Jello for dessert (the Mango Yogurt was awesome!)
Lots of food. Lots of choices. Tien was right to love this place.
Luncher: Geary
Lunch: Braised Ox Tail with Red Wine Sauce - $8.99Rating:
Geary's Review
Self promotion is not their strong suit. If you didn't know it existed you would have almost no way of finding it. Other than a small sign near the parking garage entrance there is no exterior signage for the LA Cafe. East meets West in an odd way here. The interior looks like a fifty's diner but with clear Chinese accents like TV blaring Chinese soaps and the case of Chinese buns and other baked goods. The menu is a mix of Cantonese favorites plus western derivatives. The lunch specials come with a choice of white rice, spaghetti, or fries. In addition to traditional rice bowls and noodle dishes they serve club sandwiches and chicken fried steak. I went with Ox Tail in Red Wine Sauce with a side of rice. We also had a choice of tomato or seafood soup. I went with seafood.
Service was very friendly however even though it was not crowded our lunches took a while to come out. The seafood soup was good but not like anything I'd had before. It had a clear broth with tiny bits of chopped up, completely unidentifiable, seafood, small cubes of tofu, and carrot flakes. The Ox Tail was unexpectedly delicious. It wasn't anything that would show up anywhere near a Michelin star, but given the surroundings I was impressed. The meat was fall apart tender and the brown wine sauce was rich and tasty with peas, carrots, and mushrooms thrown in per spec. Seeing the amazing variety of the other dishes at the table makes we want to come back many more times to look for other gems in the vast menu. Way to go LA.

Schedule of all St. Petersburg theaters on
one page >>
Please enter theatre's name, actor's name or any other keyword
Saint Petersburg always was famous for its theatres, and among a huge number of the various theatres Mariinsky is the most important one. Before we could admire the performances only visiting the historical stage of that world famous place, but from May 2013 we also can enjoy the New modern stage of Mariinsky Theatre, which is called Mariinsky-2. The new project is considered to be one of the most innovate concert and theatre area in the world. The theatre auditorium with a perfect acoustic was created for more than 2000 spectators!
See also: Mariinsky Ballet and Opera Theatre, Mariinsky Theatre Concert Hall
Mariinsky II Theatre, ul. Dekabristov, 34, St Petersburg, 190000
See theatre's playbill
In 1997 the conductor of the Mariinsky Theatre Valery Gergiev personally talked to the president of Russian Federation that time Boris Eltsin about the amplifying the stage of the main theatre of Saint Petersburg. The first project of the New Stage was created by American post-modernist Erik Moss two years later, but was denied. In 2003 the new tender was organized, in which 6 foreign and 5 Russian companies took part. The French architect Dominique Perrault won the tender and offered a gorgeous project with a very complicated form of the auditorium. Due to the plan the theatre should be finished in 2009, but unfortunately that project neither was realized because of its complexity. In 2009 a new variant of the future theatre was chosen, created by a Canadian bureau Diamond & Schmitt Architects. The first finance plan calculated 10 milliard rubles, then went up to 19 milliards and the completion date was moved to 2013. Finally in 2013 the colossal project of the New Stage of Mariinsky Theatre was finished and grand opening took place on 2 May 2013. The total budget cost 22 milliard rubles!
The repertoire of the theatre shows great variety of the directions, actors great skills, the relation of the deep history with the modern audience and the modern pieces of different styles: opera, ballet or symphonic music. There you can enjoy such opera works as: Aida, A Life for the Tsar, Tosca, Dead Souls, Madame Butterfly, Eugene Onegin, The Tail of Tsar Saltan, and more; and outstanding ballet plays like: Anna Karenina, Ballet Imperial, Carmen Suite, The Firebird, Inside the lines, Koniok-Gorbunok (the little humpbacked horse), Presentiment of spring, Simple things, The Swan, Without, and more wonderful works of Russian ballet.
The Mariinsky 2 gives you a good opportunity to appreciate works of most famous names in the history of Russian and European classical and modern music Art such as Glinka, Verdi, Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Shchedrin, Massenete, Ravel and more. And certainly you'll enjoy the masterpiece skills of a lot of outstanding ballet dancers, among them: Ulyana Lopatkina, Diana Vishneva, Daria Pavlenko, Denis Matvienko, Vladimir Shklyarov and others; talented opera singers: Svetlana Volkova, Irina Bogacheva, Olga Borodina, Vasily Gorshkov, Aleksandr Gerasimov and more. We can't miss the name of the present conductor of the Mariinsky Theatre who is Valery Gergiev, outstanding artist, musician, the director of the majestic Mariinsky Orchestra!
The modern building of the theatre is made of beige marble, has panoramic windows of different size and the top of the theatre is covered with metal roof. The total square of the theatre is 79 114. Inside it's also very smart decorated with illuminated walls made of onyx, marble floors, stairs and numerous big ceiling lamps, which represent thousands of crystal drops joined with invisible lines, created by Swarovski Company. Thanks for the big panoramic windows from the inside vestibule you can enjoy the marvelous view to the historical building of the Theatre and the Krukov canal. During the evening performances the theatre looks completely different. The big auditorium hall was created due to the norms of XVIII and XIX centuries; it means that it's acoustically and visually perfect. Inside there are 3 circles which are decorated with different kinds of wood. The auditorium was made to accommodate up to 2000 visitors. The stage consists of three parts: the main one, the back stage and the rehearsal hall. They can be used separately o together, depending on the complexity of the performance. The beautiful amphitheatre is located on the top of the building, it was created to organize festivals during the White nights, the most popular and theatric period in Saint Petersburg!
Talking about dress code: formal suite and the black tie for men and the evening dress for women are the must. Visiting the theatre in the cold season(autumn, winter, early spring) remember about a possible snow and rain outside, that's why don't forget to take shoes to change and to leave your coat and hat in the cloakroom.
The New stage of Mariinsky theatre is located right next to the Historical one, at the Teatralnaya square, near the Krukov canal. It is quiet easy to reach it from every point of the city, using underground(stations Admiralteyskaya, Sadovaya, Sennaya, Spasskaya), taxi o simply walking along the beautiful streets and canals of Saint Petersburg. Beside we'll gladly organize a transfer for you from the hotel or your cruise ship.
The Theatre is worth visiting every time of the year, but the June is considered the most romantic and nice time because apart from the precious performance you can enjoy wonderful White Nights of Saint Petersburg!

"Archivists are combing their collections to make sure they're not missing artifacts after a presidential historian was charged this month with stealing millions of dollars in documents from a historical society in Baltimore. Already, the accused author's name has turned up again in the investigation of a George Washington letter that went missing in Philadelphia.
Before the accusations, Barry Landau had helped plan special events for several presidents and drew upon his collection of souvenirs to write a coffee-table book about meals in the White House. He has visited archives in several cities to do research on the presidents." …
Read the full article. A follow-up article provides additional details.
So, when you do visit an archives, repository or library and wonder why you can bring in less and less and why there seem to be more stringent security measures in place, it is because there are still individuals and a market place which crave the personal possession of so-called valuable documents. Once documents are no longer available via public archives and repositories, there is an increased chance that they will eventually be lost or at least made un-accessible to researchers.
I think of how many times I have seen references to family bibles, which clearly existed at some point, and which appear to no longer be extant. Unfortunately, not all individuals or institutions place the same value on "family papers" as archivists and genealogists do. Because of that, you will never find me griping at the security measures put in place to help make sure that the collected documents remain at an archive where I can access them. Though, I do sometimes wish there were better pencil sharpeners to be found!

FANGORIA #333 doesn't hit the shelves or arrive in your mailbox for another few weeks, but we've got the first peek at the full contents and the cover—with a very big subject flashing back to our very first issue. Way back in 1979, FANGORIA #1 put Godzilla up front, and we're doing the same, spotlighting the updated monster from Gareth Edwards' much-anticipated megabudget take on the Japanese classic. We've got a set visit and exclusive words from Edwards, along with a trip to the Aussie location of Greg McLean's WOLF CREEK 2; Jim Jarmusch and Tilda Swinton talking their cool new vampire movie ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE; Ti West on his religious chiller THE SACRAMENT; Lucky McKee and Chris Sivertson explaining why ALL CHEERLEADERS DIE; ex-cop turned film guy Randy Jurgenson revealing the true facts behind William Friedkin's shocking CRUISING; director Jeremy Saulnier discussing his knockout revenge pic BLUE RUIN; and much more. GUTS INTERVIEW: JIM JARMUSCH The veteran poet of cinematic cool expresses his passion for vampires in "Only Lovers Left Alive." INTERVIEW: TILDA SWINTON It took a one-of-a-kind actress to breathe new eternal life into her "Only Lovers" bloodsucker. INTERVIEW: JOHN POGUE He ventured across the pond to helm the Hammer production "The Quiet Ones" on the studio's home turf. Plus: star Jared Harris speaks up. PREVIEW: "PENNY DREADFUL" Victorian London plays host to classic creatures; can transplanted American Josh Hartnett cope? PREVIEW: "THE SACRAMENT" Ti West leaves devils and ghosts behind to find the horror in religious manipulation. INTERVIEW: HUH JUNG "Hide and Seek" allows the Korean director to reveal what spooks his fellow citizens. PREVIEW: "BLUE RUIN" The way Jeremy Saulnier's intense thriller presents it, payback is a bitch for both sides. ON SET: "GODZILLA" Fango tours the badly battered locations of Gareth Edwards' monster remake. Plus: reviews of classic Big G films on new Blu-rays! PREVIEW: "THE MACHINE" It looks like a lady and tries to act like a human in Caradog W. James' near-future opus. PREVIEW: "MALIGNANT" The protagonist of Brian Avenet-Bradley's latest indie chiller finds Brad Dourif literally messing with his head. INTERVIEW: RANDY JURGENSEN The former policeman's input made William Friedkin's "Cruising" all the more arresting. PREVIEW: "MR. JONES" Pry too deeply into his secrets, and you'll suffer for his art in Karl Mueller's surreal flick. DIARY OF THE DEB: "BILLY'S CULT" On this New Jersey set, the terror would begin after Debbie wrapped for the day. ON SET: "WOLF CREEK 2" Some people call tourists annoying; the villain of Greg McLean's sequel calls them targets. PREVIEW: "ALL CHEERLEADERS DIE" Lucky McKee and Chris Sivertson rework their formative first feature as a meatier, bloodier project. INTERVIEW: SCOTT SNYDER The comics writer is far from done telling the century-spanning saga of the "American Vampire." INTERVIEW: TOM SPINA When you want a screen creature to look its best/worst again, he's the man you call. GRAVY FIRST RITES Growing up with Godzilla POSTAL ZONE Bill Moseley says hi! Plus: remembering GWAR's David Brockie MONSTER INVASION Preview of "Cold in July," and the 2014 Chainsaw Awards results! TRASH COMPACTOR David A. Prior talks "Killer Workout" THE VIDEO EYE OF DR. CYCLOPS Reviews of "Ms. 45," "The Visitor," "Dead Shadows," "Daddy's Little Girl" and others DUMP BIN DIARIES Columbia River's "Psychopaths and Maniacs" SCREEM #28 starts off with a big roar as we delve into all things GODZILLA, with the film's director, Gareth Edwards.
Other interviews in the issue include Alejandro Jodorowsky (Jodorowsky's Dune, The Dance of Reality), Joshua Oppenheimer brings horror to real life when discussing his documentary The Act of Killing, Chester Turner relives memories on the set of Black Devil Doll from Hell, British actress Vanessa Howard (Girly, Corruption) is remembered, The Creature from the Black Lagoon celebrates its 60th anniversary, 1923s The Hunchback of Notre Dame gets an HD rebirth (Lon Chaney historian Michael F. Blake gives readers all the details), Blu-ray/DVD reviews, and a few more great surprises come your way in SCREEM #28. Limited Edition (500 copies) HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME alternate cover includes a 17 x 22 poster that features both Godzilla and Quasimodo covers by Mark Maddox! God-Zine-La is a full colour, 72 page zine dedicated to the most famous kaiju of them all - Godzilla along with his colourful rogue's gallery.
Each page features a piece of original artwork by some top illustrators and comic makers. We even have a piece of artwork submitted by Godzilla 2014 director Gareth Edwards. Preorders will support the first print run. GOD-ZINE-LA will be dispatched in late April! Go here to order. |

I have uploaded ALL images from the 22nd Annual Spillway Classic Trail Run… in total over 1200 pictures! Please click this direct link to the www.nolaPIC.com gallery where you can see and purchase the current photos.
The files are 29mb each so you can order huge and high quality prints of your images!!! 🙂
The 22nd Annual Spillway Classic Trail Run is coming up on July 19 2009 at 8AM at the Bonnet Carret Spillway, in Norco, LA.
The 2nd largest "Trail Run" in the nation offers a scenic and demanding cross country course and is a lot of fun to do AND watch. Field limited to the first 2000 entrants (new). Awards to the top 500 finishers!
Please "pray for rain" !!! I will be shooting the event and I will be posting prints for sale at this link (where images from previous years are still available).
The first 1-1/4 miles is atop the spillway levee. The course turns down the levee into the spillway and proceeds thru the "gauntlet". This section of the course generally provides the most water, mud and fun, perhaps at the expense of ones shoes ( suggestion…do not wear new shoes!) As the course makes a sharp left turn onto the main trail you continue on the pathway parallel to the canal back towards the finish line. Along the way you may expect sharp turns, log jumps, muddy/slippery sections, low limbs and a wooden bridge. Beautiful dense forest canopy provides great shade along the way. Enjoy the primitive beauty and please be careful so that you have a fun and exciting experience and return again next year.
Thanks to NOMAMBO (New Orleans Area Mountain Bike Organization) and to the many NOTC volunteers for their work in building and maintaining the course. Course difficulty depends on pre-race rainfall. We need lots of rain 2 weeks prior to the race date!

Skin and hair follicles are constantly renewed in the body, maintained by specialized stem cells. New research from Children's Hospital Boston identifies a small cellular channel that regulates skin and hair growth and that could be targeted with small-molecule drugs, potentially treating variety of skin conditions, as well as thinning hair or unwanted hair growth. Findings appear in the April 16 issue of Cell.
Several known factors regulate the growth and specialization of cells in the epidermis. Two key players are transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha) and the receptor for epidermal growth factor (EGFR). Without them, mice have wavy hair; when they are over-active, mice are hairless and develop skin cancer. However, these growth factors don't make ideal targets for a drug treatment since they are found throughout the body, and any drug targeting them would have substantial side effects.
The new study, led by David Clapham, MD, PhD, of Children's Hospital Boston, and Haoxing Xu, PhD, of the University of Michigan, finds that another protein found mainly in skin, TRPV3, "supercharges" the TGF-alpha/EGFR pathway. When TRPV3 was knocked out, the mice had a thinner outer skin layer with a dry, scaly texture, and appeared to be a less intact, more permeable barrier. By comparison, the normal mice formed a thick, robust outer skin barrier, with more tightly linked, toughened cells (a process known as cornification).
The mice lacking TRPV3 also developed a wavy coat and curly whiskers. Clapham believes the waviness resulted from abnormal functioning of the epidermal cells at the base of the hair follicle, normally rich in TRPV3, causing the follicles to point in different directions and preventing them from smoothly extruding hair.
TRVP3 is an ion channel, a small pore that opens to admit calcium ions into the cell. Experiments showed that it is activated by EGFR, causing an influx of calcium that triggers many signaling pathways inside the cell, including one that stimulates release of TGF-alpha. This, in turn, increases EGFR signaling, providing a positive feedback loop that "supercharges" the system. When TRPV3 was knocked out, TGF-alpha/EGFR signaling was impaired.
Clapham speculates that drugs that stimulate TRPV3 activity may offer a new approach to treating multiple skin conditions, such as burns, bed sores, eczema, psoriasis, itch, fungal infections and oral mucositis (a sloughing off of skin in the mouth due to cancer chemotherapy). It might also be possible to develop cosmetic treatments that make the skin more firm, pliable and youthful. "If you activate TRPV3, you might get thicker skin," he says.
On the flip side, reducing TRPV3 activity could curb uncontrolled cell growth in skin cancer. "Some skin cancers may be potentiated by TRPV3," says Clapham.
A more speculative possibility is that TRPV3 could be targeted to create hair growth or hair removal agents, he adds.
Unlike growth factors, which act in many tissues and can have significant side effects, TRPV3 is found mainly in skin keratinocytes, although it is also found in the brain. Because TRPV3 has also been found to play a role in pain sensation, pharmaceutical companies have already been developing small molecule drugs targeting it.
The study was funded by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the National Institutes of Health and the University of Michigan. Xiping Cheng, PhD, of the University of Michigan and Jie Jin, PhD, of Children's Hospital Boston were first authors.

The Flying Trapeze
Sometimes, I feel that my life is a series of trapeze swings. I'm either hanging on to a trapeze bar swinging along or, for a few moments, I'm hurdling across space between the trapeze bars.
Mostly, I spend my time hanging on for dear life to the trapeze bar of the moment. It carries me along a certain steady rate of swing and I have the feeling that I'm in control. I know most of the right questions, and even some of the right answers. But once in a while, as I'm merrily, or not so merrily, swinging along, I look ahead of me into the distance, and what do I see?
I see another trapeze bar looking at me. It's empty. And I know, in that place in me that knows, that this new bar has my name on it. It is my next step, my growth, my aliveness coming to get me. In my heart-of-hearts I know that for me to grow, I must release my grip on the present well-known bar, to move to the new one.
Each time it happens, I hope—no, I pray—that I won't have to grab the new one. But in my knowing place, I know that I must totally release my grasp on my old bar, and for some moments in time I must hurtle across space before I can grab the new bar. Each time I do this I am filled with terror. It doesn't matter that in all my previous hurdles I have always made it.
Each time, I am afraid I will miss, that I will be crushed on unseen rocks in the bottomless basin between the bars.
But I do it anyway. I must.
Perhaps this is the essence of what the mystics call faith. No guarantees, no net, no insurance, but we do it anyway because hanging on to that old bar is no longer an option. And so, for what seems to be an eternity, but actually lasts a microsecond. I soar across the dark void called "the past is over, the future is not yet here." It's called a transition. I have come to believe that it is the only place that real change occurs.
I have noticed that, in our culture, this transition zone is looked upon as a "no-thing," a no-place between places. Sure, the old trapeze bar was real, and as for the new one coming towards me, I hope that's real too. But the void in between? That's just a scary, confusing, disorienting nowhere that must be gotten through as fast and as unconsciously as possible. What a shame!
I have a sneaking suspicion that the transition zone is the only real thing, and the bars are the illusions we dream up to not notice the void. Yes, with all the fear that can accompany transitions, they are still the most vibrant, growth-filled, passionate moments in our lives.
And so, transformation of fear may have nothing to do with making fear go away, but rather with giving ourselves permission to "hang out" in the transition zone between the trapeze bars. Allowing ourselves to dwell in the only place where change really happens.
It can be terrifying. It can also be enlightening.
Hurtling through the void, we just might learn to fly.

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics was founded in Cleveland, Ohio in 1917 by a visionary group of women dedicated to helping the government conserve food and improve the public's health and nutrition during World War I. Today, the Academy has over 75,000 members — registered dietitian nutritionists, dietetic technicians, registered, and other dietetics professionals holding undergraduate and advanced degrees in nutrition and dietetics, and students — and is committed to improving the nation's health and advancing the profession of dietetics through research, education and advocacy.
Members of the Academy play a key role in shaping the public's food choices, thereby improving its nutritional status, and in treating persons with illnesses or injuries. Members offer preventive and medical nutrition therapy services in a variety of settings.
Dietetics practitioners work in health care systems, home health care, foodservice, business, research and educational organizations, as well as in private practice. As vital members of medical teams in hospitals, long-term care facilities and health maintenance organizations, they provide medical nutrition therapy — using specific nutrition services to treat chronic conditions, illnesses or injuries. Community-based dietetics practitioners provide health promotion, disease prevention and wellness services.
As a leader in food and nutrition issues, the Academy provides expert testimony at hearings, lobbies Congress and other governmental bodies, comments on proposed federal and state regulations, and develops position statements on critical food and nutrition issues.
