If you saw this problem, your NTP time sources were not properly configured and diverse.
Consider using the NTP pool and not relying on so few sources to properly sync your time. Read 5.3.3 and 5.3.4 from http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/SelectingOffsiteNTPServers for help to correct your NTP setup.
You're talking about small routers. I'm talking about stuff like t1600 where everything is done entirely in hardware. If you look at the QFP in the ASR1k (cisco) you will see where it can do the nat, etc in hardware. that's more sensible than a lot of the devices where things are just pure slow-path (ie: punted to cpu for the fib lookup based on the various ribs your device may have).
We're talking about entirely different classes [and engineered uses] of equipment, and that's obvious to me. Hope you understand that as well.
You are talking about a Firewall device that performs NAT, (and appears as a "router" on the lan. Most of what you see at the store/online is not a "real" router IMHO. Then again, I'm biased as I deal with n*10G all day in a large network. When people call those devices at their home a 'modem' or 'router' i generally wince. I think of them more along the lines of a media converter (dsl, cable to rj45/802.3)
Real routers don't have 'state tables'.
Ask your ISP for IPv6 access. Enable your web server/site for IPv6 day. Use a 'web bug' tracker item to identify broken thins.
visit places like http://test-ipv6.com/ to try to understand how ready you are.
Make sure if you have a tunnel, or use one, you do not add too much latency to your connection. The CDNs won't send your traffic over IPv6 if your IPv6 goes to some other continent or geographical region.
Not really. If you are blocking the public right of way, you can be arrested. Most stores are on private property, not public so they can reserve the right to refuse service to you as well.
This is why those involved in sit-ins have been arrested in the past, and those on-strike have to 'keep moving' and can't just do their own sit-in.
Sadly this doesn't cut it. It's easier to take someone who was a cleared cleaning staff member and train them to do other tasks than clear these people. The process can take up to 24 months if you have a checkered history.
There's a lot of places to go with this, including over classifying data, etc.. that typically happens, and getting it revisited with the right class authority. You have to look no further than the SBU reports that come out from GAO. It makes it really tough, combined with existing regulations set in stone by congress.
