this is a case that worries me deeply. folk with issues should visit
the help desk in the terminal-less room or visit the noc.

Why not just turn it off and see what happens?
because the noc thinks of the attendees as those strange critters called
"customers." this creates implications for service continuity.

You may want to tabulate the OS version of the devices on the

i proposed measuring a number of aspects of use of ietf-legacy, mostly
port use; wanting to get a feel if the use was protected above layer
three. i specifically avoided proposing looking inside the packsts as i
do not have time to deal rigorously with the PII issues. when i asked
if i could measure port use, i was asked to write up a formal project
description. as this is not my paying $dayjob, i hit delete.
for me, the botttom line here is
please try networks other than ietf-legacy. if you have problems
which drive you to legacy, please come to the noc and debug.
this is something to be revisited when we know more.
thanks for the clues.
