223.255.255.0/24

223.255.255.0/24 has historically been designated as a special-use network as it is the numerically highest Class C network. It is listed in RFC3330 as Reserved but open for possible future allocation. Now that 222/7 has been allocated to APNIC, the question comes up as to whether it is retaining the Reserved designation, or whether APNIC will keep it as reserved. I note that the APNIC whois servers do not denote it as Reserved. I bring this up since many bogon filters include this network for both routing and packet filtering. I have queries out to both APNIC and IANA as to the present status of that network, but I expect IANA will likely defer to APNIC. If it is no longer reserved, I've suggested that RFC3330 be updated to reflect its present status (such as prior-special-use networks are listed). In any event, pending confirmation from APNIC, I suggest folks look over their own bogon filtering. A quick check of Rob's list doesn't have this network specified. I believe that Juniper has a prebuilt bogon list, but I don't recall whether this network is on it or not. I've suggested APNIC send out email to the operations community, but if they don't, I'll send an update with whatever they send me.

Operating Agreement
by Christopher J. Wolff 23 Feb '03

23 Feb '03

Hello, I'm trying to track down a sample operating agreement, specifically when one network operator offers to manage another's telecommunications assets, in exchange for an IRU. Something close to this would be wonderful. Google lists many network operating agreements for power interconnection but not for telecom. Thank you for your assistance. Regards, Christopher J. Wolff, VP CIO Broadband Laboratories, Inc. http://www.bblabs.com

Sounds like a CNN-digested version of CAN-2003-0078, which is a (relatively minor) bug in OpenSSL which allows for a timing attack. OpenSSL CHANGES file: *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish between bad padding and a MAC verification error.

Fast.Net / Netaxs down?
by up＠3.am 22 Feb '03

22 Feb '03

Our link to FastNet (formerly Netaxs) went down a while ago, and their phone lines are all busy. I can get to fast.net's website, but none of the netaxs servers, including NewsRead.com. They are at a somewhat low elevation, so I'm wondering if they're dealing with a flooding situation. Our circuit to sprintlink in Pennsauken is fine (for now). Does anybody have any info on this they can share? James Smallacombe PlantageNet, Inc. CEO and Janitor up(a)3.am http://3.am =========================================================================
