Reaching out to ARIN members about their RPKI INVALID prefixes
by nusenu 20 Sep '18

20 Sep '18

Dear NANOG, when I approached ARIN about how they feel about reaching out to their members about prefixes that are unreachable in a route origin validation (ROV) environment, John Curran (CEO ARIN) referred me to you (see email bellow - quoted with permission). The question I asked ARIN was specifically: > Would you be open to reach out to your affected members to inform them about > their affected IP prefixes? John Curran (CEO ARIN) wrote: > If there is evidence of community > Interest, then ARIN can conduct a community consultation to determine > our best role in this area, but you first should encourage discussion > within the network operator community at appropriate forums. So here is my question to the network operator community in the ARIN region to gather if there are any (dis)agreements/opinions about such a notification by ARIN: What do you think about the idea that ARIN actively informs their affected members about prefixes that are unreachable in an RPKI ROV environment? The goal of that outreach/notification would be - to reduce the number of broken legacy ROAs from the past - reduce the negative impact on reachability of affected members. looking forward to receiving your feedback! kind regards, nusenu [1] https://medium.com/@nusenu/towards-cleaning-up-rpki-invalids-d69b03ab8a8c John Curran wrote: > Subject: Reaching out to ARIN members about their RPKI INVALID prefixes > > Nusenu - > > Thank you for writing us - the project (and Medium post on same) are > quite interesting. > > I think you’ve got several options for pursuing your objectives, > including – > > 1) Reaching out to parties that already track and report on Internet > routing hygiene (e.g. Geoff Huston at http://bgp.potaroo.net, the > RPKI validator team at RIPE, the NIST RPKI Deployment monitor - > https://rpki-monitor.antd.nist.gov) to see if of them would like to > report on this information and/or contact those with invalids) > > 2) Raising the issue in the ARIN region via the NANOG operator forum > - this would make an excellent lightening talk for you (or someone > else familiar with it already attending) to speak about at the > upcoming NANOG Vancouver meeting.

SAFNOG-4/EANOG/tzNOG: 4 Days To Go!
by Mark Tinka 20 Sep '18

20 Sep '18

Hi all. With just about 4 days to go until the 4th edition of the SAFNOG meeting, in collaboration with EANOG and tzNOG, we are geared for an exciting week in warm & sunny Dar Es Salaam. The agenda will cover key topics for the region, such as: * Is Africa's continued telecommunications investment into Europe wise for the continent? * Data centre infrastructure development in the region. * What the recent IRR changes at RIPE mean for Africa. * The advances of IPv4 brokers into Africa, using AFRINIC very own resources in doing so. * e.t.c. More details about the meeting, registration, venue and agenda at: http://www.safnog.org/ If you haven't yet, please register your attendance to join us next week. We look forward to seeing you all there. Cheers, Mark Tinka On Behalf of the SAFNOG-4/EANOG/tzNOG Organizing Committee

Console Servers
by Alan Hannan 20 Sep '18

20 Sep '18

I'd like your input on suggestions for an alternate serial port manager. Long ago I used Cisco 2511/2611 and was fairly happy. A little later I used portmaster and was less so. Recently I've been using Opengear and they work fairly well but the price is fairly high. I use the CM7100 and IM7100. General specs I'm looking for are: * 8 to 48 or more rs232 serial ports on rj45 * nice-to-have software selectable pinouts (cisco v. straight) * gig-e ethernet port (100mbps ok) * 1U form factor * redundant AC power * access physical serial connections via local port # * access physical serial connections via local IP alias (nice to have) Can you recommend a serial port server/concentrator that I could use in place of opengear for a better value and/or lower cost? I'm just ignorant about the current market for serial port concentrators and so far web searches have not revealed ideas, so your input is appreciated! Thanks! -alan

Brovade/Foundry VLAN translation
by Mike Hammett 18 Sep '18

18 Sep '18

I'm not thinking so, but I figured I'd ask here. Is there any way to do VLAN translation on the Brocade VDX-6720 or the Foundry FESX424? Worst case, I'll burn a couple ports looping out and then back in. We are looking to replace the Foundrys with Arista 7050s at some point. -----Mike HammettIntelligent Computing SolutionsMidwest Internet ExchangeThe Brothers WISP

Level3 IRR contact
by Brian Rak 17 Sep '18

17 Sep '18

I'm trying to get some old IRR objects removed from the LEVEL3 database, and not having much luck. Their support guys silently closed my ticket and then had our account manager email us directly basically saying "we don't what you want us to do". I used to use routing@level3 to get this done, however they don't seem to reply anymore. http://www.irr.net/docs/list.html directs me to rr(a)level3.net, which has an autoreply that says "open a ticket"

What NMS do you use and why?
by Colton Conor 17 Sep '18

17 Sep '18

We are looking for a new network monitoring system. Since there are so many operators on this list, I would like to know which NMS do you use and why? Is there one that you really like, and others that you hate? For free options (opensouce), LibreNMS and NetXMS come highly recommended by many wireless ISPs on low budgets. However, I am not sure the commercial options available nor their price points.

Puerto Rico Internet Exchange
by Mehmet Akcin 16 Sep '18

16 Sep '18

Hey there! ... ok this time I am not going to call it PRIX ;) well name doesn't matter really. Nearly 13 years ago I have attempted to start Puerto rico Internet exchange in San Juan. I have lived there over 5 years and i just wanted to really watch videos faster. The project somewhat died when i moved to LA but now there are few interested party to start an internet exchange in Puerto rico. The jsland historically had one of the slowest broadband/internet services which seemed to have improved in recent years however as of 2017 there still is not an IX in Puerto rico. We , 3-4 internet engineers (on island and remote) , want to look into relaunch of this IX and hopefully find a way to keep local traffic exchanged at high speeds and low cost. We need expertise, and people who want to help any way they can. We are trying to make this IX a not-for-profit one and we are looking at opeeating models to adapt which has worked incredibly well like Seattle IX. We are hoping the relaunch to happen sometime in 2018. Thanks in advance hope to share more info and traffic data sometime , soon. Watch this space! Mehmet
