Tell me I need a tin-foil hat if you like, but in the current news there is reason to believe that the risk is real and actual that the police with their hot-shot-super-sniffer determine that your house is the source of a pedophile database operation supplying the neighborhood weirdos, and come around at 3 SM and shoot your dogs, lob a grenade into the baby's crib and eventually burn your house and wife down. -- The unique Characteristics of System Administrators: The fact that they are infallible; and, The fact that they learn from their mistakes.

It is not the same thing though. In my case, they just say we want you to buy our IP, if you don't and want use you own Arin allocated IP blocks through bgp, then we got to charge you anyway! Because why couldn't they?

RE: Comcast thinks it ok to install public wifi in your house

Jeroen, Not that I agree with this practice, I specifically got my own modem because of this (and to have it directly attached to a real router) , however they use a separate DOCSIS and 802.11 channel so if would follow that it would be a separate IP tied to comcast corporate and not the subscriber as well as not taking up your bandwidth. The bandwidth issue seems to be the only thing they can imagine people being worried about and when you complain its the only thing they talk about, making sure you know it wont take up any of your speed or quota.

Or, ya know you could just buy your own cable modem and separate AP.

Carrier-grade DDoS Attack mitigation appliance
by Mohamed Kamal 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

Have anyone tried any DDoS attack mitigation appliance rather than Arbor PeakFlow TMS? I need it to be carrier-grade in terms of capacity and redundancy, and as far as I know, Arbor is the only product in the market which offers a "clean pipe" volume of traffic, so if the DDoS attack volume is, for example, 1Tbps, they will grant you for example 50Gbps of clean traffic. Anyway, I'm open to other suggestions, and open-source products that can do the same purpose, we have network development team that can work on this. Thanks. -- Mohamed Kamal Core Network Sr. Engineer

RE: Relative cost of ONT and UPS for FTTP
by Brian R 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

Jean-Francois, We use the Adtran ONT solutions. The configuration is Adtran TA5000 with an Active Ethernet 24-Port Module (1187561F1) feeding an ONT TA324E (1287737G2) at the customer premise. For power we are using the Cyber Power CSN27U12v-NA3 units. The clam shell we are using to put the ONT in is TA350 ONT NID HSG SPLICE (1187770G1) All of these part numbers should be available on Adtrans website to look up.

ASN Domain for rDNS
by Keefe John 10 Dec '14

10 Dec '14

I've been seeing more and more carriers(and even small ISPs) using asXXXX.net as their domain for rDNS on IP space. What are the pros and cons for doing this versus using your primary business domain name? Keefe John

Charging fee for BGP prefix per /24?!
by Yucong Sun 10 Dec '14

10 Dec '14

Hi, My recent inquiry to some network provider reveals that they are charging fee for per /24 announced. Obvious that would means they get to charge a lot with little to none efforts on their side. In a world we are charging total bytes transferred instead of bps on uplinks, i can't say I'm surprised that much. But does anyone else had same experience? Did you pay? Is this the new status quo now? Thanks.
