DNSSEC & WIldcards
by Dennis Burgess 01 Feb '25

01 Feb '25

So have *.app.linktechs.net that I have been trying to get to work, we have DNSSEC on this, and its failing, but cannot for the life of me understand why. I think it may have something to do with proving it exists as a wildcard, but any DNSSEC experts want to take a stab at it ? Dennis Burgess

Implementing Decentralized RPKI with Blockchain Technology
by Brandon Z. 20 Jan '25

20 Jan '25

Hi there, Currently, due to political factors, some countries are not particularly proactive in deploying RPKI. Imagine if the RIR of a region were forced to revoke all IP resources of a particular country from RPKI, effectively isolating that country from the global internet. To address this, one approach is for autonomous networks within a region to establish two trusted RPKI CA servers: one from the major RIRs and another locally managed. The locally managed CA would take precedence, allowing autonomous networks to submit their IP resources to the RPKI server of their peers (and potentially backed by a national mandate to trust this CA). This setup could prevent a scenario where an entire country’s IP resources are revoked, leading to all IPs being marked as invalid. Another concept is to use blockchain technology. While cryptocurrencies use computational power to verify ownership, BGP could use peer count. If an IP resource is marked as valid by a majority of high-influence networks (with many peers), it could be trusted by the entire internet. Could this approach work? Perhaps there’s existing research on similar methods? *Brandon Z.* HUIZE LTD www.huize.asia <https://huize.asia/>| www.ixp.su | Twitter This e-mail and any attachments or any reproduction of this e-mail in whatever manner are confidential and for the use of the addressee(s) only.

New home builders without wires
by Sean Donelan 06 Jan '25

06 Jan '25

As some may remember from earlier this year, my friend was buying a new "semi-custom" home. "Semi-custom" is a marketing term, meaning you get to choose (pay more) pre-determined builder options. It is not custom designed. The home builder was not installing any wired broadband utilities in the new neighborhood. No cable coax, no telephone DSL, no fiber optic. The only option was wireless, with a special deal with a specific 5G wireless cellular provider. Originally, the builder's sales agent (i.e. the people working in the model home selling houses) said new homes didn't need (and would not have) a wired "demarc" location and no ethernet or coax outlets. Not my house, but I was surprised when I heard that. I like wired connections when possible for any fixed devices, and WiFi only for mobile devices. I visited his new house over the Thanksgiving Holiday. The sales agent was partially wrong and partially correct. Never believe the sales agent spiel. The built house came with exactly FOUR wired ethernet outlets in the living room and each bedroom/office (x2 Cat6 jacks each outlet). But no wired DEMARC, no coax outlets, and no wired broadband utilities in the neighhood. The wired ethernet jacks were needed because the wireless 5G base station ended up in an upstairs bedroom window for signal strength reasons. The in-house wired ethernet was needed for a WiFi extender in the living room. I wouldn't be happy, but it seems to work for his family. The 5G deal was cheaper than what he was paying at his old house. According to the real estate realtor, not the builder's sales agent, broadband is now in the top three things home buyers want to know. Some states require the realtor MLS to disclose broadband access in the home listings. Broadband access disclosure not required in this state.

Best way to have redundancy announcing on separate routers
by Jean Franco 02 Jan '25

02 Jan '25

Hi Folks, I'm trying to achieve total redundancy on a multihomed environment: ISP 1 <=> Router 1 <= X => Router 2 <=> ISP 2 Where X is my Network. In the example below, he announces separate blocks to each ISP. https://www.networkstraining.com/cisco-bgp-configuration-tutorial/ I would like to do a failover model, where if one ISP goes down the other would take over. Please share your thoughts on this. Best regards,

Distributed Router Fabrics
by Mike Hammett 01 Jan '25

01 Jan '25

I've noticed that the whitebox hardware vendors are pushing distributed router fabrics, where you can keep buying pizza boxes and hooking them into a larger and larger fabric. Obviously, at some point, buying a big chassis makes more sense. Does it make sense building up to that point? What are your thoughts on that direction? ----- Mike Hammett [ http://www.ics-il.com/ | Intelligent Computing Solutions ] [ https://www.facebook.com/ICSIL ] [ https://plus.google.com/+IntelligentComputingSolutionsDeKalb ] [ https://www.linkedin.com/company/intelligent-computing-solutions ] [ https://twitter.com/ICSIL ] [ http://www.midwest-ix.com/ | Midwest Internet Exchange ] [ https://www.facebook.com/mdwestix ] [ https://www.linkedin.com/company/midwest-internet-exchange ] [ https://twitter.com/mdwestix ] [ http://www.thebrotherswisp.com/ | The Brothers WISP ] [ https://www.facebook.com/thebrotherswisp ] [ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXSdfxQv7SpoRQYNyLwntZg ]

NANOGers – Please see the following operationally relevant information about the retirement of support for FTP at ARIN on 31 March 2025 (forwarded here for your planning purposes.) After that date, one will need to use HTTP/HTTPS to access the same data archives. FYI, /John John Curran President and CEO American Registry for Internet Numbers Begin forwarded message: From: ARIN <info(a)arin.net> Subject: [arin-announce] ARIN Will Retire the Use of FTP on 31 March 2025 Date: December 30, 2024 at 2:36:44 PM EST To: "arin-announce(a)arin.net" <arin-announce(a)arin.net> From 20 September to 4 October 2024, ARIN held a consultation seeking feedback from the community on retiring FTP support, which serves data from ftp.arin.net. ARIN has operated an FTP service for various reports and templates since its inception. After reviewing the feedback received during the consultation, ARIN plans to move forward with work required to support the retirement of FTP use at ARIN, and the projected retirement date is 31 March 2025. This includes coordinating with the other Regional Internet Registries to ensure that the mirrors of the extended statistics data are migrated to HTTP/HTTPS, as well as determining an appropriate solution and implementing a method that will allow community members to run synchronization and mirroring of these data sets. All data currently available via FTP will continue to be available over HTTP and HTTPS. ARIN will provide reminders at regular intervals as we approach the retirement date.

Shaping the Future of ICP-2: Community Input Extended to December 2024
by John Curran 30 Dec '24

30 Dec '24

NANOGers - In October 2023, the Number Resource Organization initiated a process to undertake a significant update to Internet Coordination Policy 2 (ICP-2); the policy which specifies the criteria for establishing new Regional Internet Registries (RIRs). The Address Supporting Organization Address Council (ASO AC) has been tasked with managing the revision process, emphasizing community engagement and transparency. The ASO AC has drafted a document which outlines the principles for the proposed ICP-2 Version 2 policy, and this document is available online for review here - https://www.nro.net/policy/internet-coordination-policy-2/proposed-icp-2-ve… The ASO AC is actively seeking feedback from the Internet number resource community and the broader internet community on these proposed principles. At this stage, comments are being solicited on the principles themselves, rather than specific amendments to the text of the document. This collaborative approach aims to refine the principles before drafting a revised version of ICP-2 for further stakeholder input. To facilitate community engagement, there is a questionnaire seeking feedback that available in multiple languages, including English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. The questionnaire is designed to gather diverse perspectives and can be completed in approximately 7–10 minutes. Recognizing the importance of comprehensive community input, the deadline for input has via the questionnaire has been extended to 6 December 2024. If you have an interest in the governance principles that should be applicable to RIRs, and a moment available to provide input, please consider doing so. More details about the principles and questionnaire are available on the NRO website - https://www.nro.net/nro-announces-that-the-deadline-for-the-icp-2-questionn… Thanks! /John John Curran President and CEO American Registry for Internet Numbers
