DNS:

The National Research Council is sponsoring an anycasted instance of the F root which can be reached by peering at OttIX or over OttIX with the F root's peering routers.

merle.cira.ca:

One of CIRA's DNS servers responsible for the .CA domain is reachable via OttIX as well.

FTP:

ftp.nrc.ca:

Too much software to mention (Linux distros like Slackware, Debian, Fedora and SUSE, FreeBSD, GNU FTP site, GNOME, X, XFree86, Apache). Always consult the server's Status for the latest info on software available for download from there.

OttIX runs a public 6to4 relay for those wanting to use IPv6 but don't have a native IPv6 network available. Coverage extends through to Canadian universities. The routes 192.88.99.0/24 and 2002::/16 are advertised through BGP to make this work.

An OttIX-centric newsserver. All newsgroups except alt.binaries. Peering over IPv6 also available.

This server is a stratum 2 server synced to three stratum 1 boxes that are hooked into atomic clocks. NRC also provides connectivity to stratum 1 servers for a fee. More information can be found at NRC's Institute for National Measurement Standards website.

RS1 and RS2:

The OttIX Route Servers also provide Stratum 2 NTP services, for those interested in using those instead.

Routes:
