FCC March meeting: Notice of Inquiry: EAS alerts through the Internet
by Sean Donelan 24 Feb '21

24 Feb '21

In response to the recently passed READI Act, the Federal Communications Commission agenda for its March meeting includes the following notice of inquiry: https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-announces-tentative-agenda-march-open-meet… The NDAA21 directs the Commission, within 180 days, to adopt rules to implement Section 9201 (a)-(d) and to complete an inquiry under Section 9201(e). The FCC is required to report to Congress on the findings of the inquiry within 90 days after its completion. What the Notice of Inquiry Would Do: • Seek comment on whether it is technically feasible to deliver EAS alerts through the Internet, including through streaming services. • Seek comment on whether and how to leverage the capabilities of the Internet to enhance the alerting capabilities of the radio and television broadcasters, cable systems, satellite radio and television providers, and wireline video providers that currently participate in EAS.

LOAs for Cross Connects - Something like PeeringDB for XC
by Douglas Fischer 23 Feb '21

23 Feb '21

I believe that almost everyone in here knows that LOAs for Cross Connects in Datacenters and Telecom Rooms can be a pain... I don't know if I'm suggesting something that already exists. Or even if I'm suggesting something that could be unpopular for some reason. But every time I need to deal with some Cross-Connect LOA, and mostly when we face some rework on data mistakes, I dream with a "PeeringDB for Cross Connects". So, this mail is a question and also a suggestion. There is something like an "online notary's office" exclusive for Cross-Connect LOAs? - Somewhere Organizations can register information authorizing connections of Port on their Places (Cages, Racks, etc)... If it doesn't exist. What would be necessary for that? Mostly considering the PeeringDB work model. - OpenSource. - Free access to the tool, and sponsors to keep the project alive. - API driven, with some Web-gui. And considering some data-modeling. - Most of the data being Open/Public (Organizations, Facilities(Datacenters and/or Telecom-Rooms), Presence on Facilities, etc). - Access control to Information that can not be public (A-side organization, Z-Side Organization, PathPanel/Port). And some workflow - Cross Connect Requiremento/Authorization from A-Side - Acceptance/Authorization from Z-side. - Acceptance/Authorization from Facilities involved (could be more than one) - Execution/Activation notice from Facilities. -- Douglas Fernando Fischer Engº de Controle e Automação

Is there anyone from Wave Broadband (AS11404) around here that can contact me off-list? Trying to resolve some public IX peering issues. None of the usual contacts are responding. ~mike

Oops. Also, consider what's on generator and what's not. I worked in a corporate data center where we lost power. The backup system kept all the machines running, but the ventilation system was still down, so it was very warm very fast as everyone went around trying to shut servers down gracefully while other folks propped the doors open to get some cooler air in. --r

AWS contact?
by Justin Wilson (Lists) 20 Feb '21

20 Feb '21

What is the best avenue for contacting support for AWS? I have several ISPs experiencing reachability issues with AWS hosted sites. These are from different backbones, different gear, etc. The common denominator is AWS. Been googling around and can’t seem to find a contact.

famous operation issues
by Chris Cariffe 20 Feb '21

20 Feb '21

Did anyone have the fun experience of ever going into the San Jose/Santa Clara Global Crossing Datacenter in the mid '90s? I recall going in there to visit a new client's gear, no real security once on the floor. Open racks fully exposed systems and wiring. I was working on my client's systems that we next to a 19" telco rack with some shelves on it holding a router, switches, and servers. I restrained from just tapping in!

public open resolver list?
by Randy Bush 20 Feb '21

20 Feb '21

is there a list of public resolvers? e.g. 1.1.1.1, 4.4.4.4, 8.8.8.8, etc.? we have a measurement set which contains a list of resolvers, some of which we suspect are intentionally open, some unintentionally open, and some not open. we are trying to filter that first set, the intentionally open. the open resolver finders would seem not to meet our need. but, yes, it would be nice if they documented the intentional public open resolvers. randy

Support for End User Services
by Mike Hammett 20 Feb '21

20 Feb '21

Leave aside any conversation about whether the business has the ability (or approval) to pay for it or not. Is it appropriate for organizations that provide services to end-users to require that you are a paying customer to contact their support? Is it appropriate to pretend to be your complaining customer to get support on network-level issues (IP Geolocation, false VPN notices, buffering, despite a clean path to their CDN, etc.)? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP
