Cable standards question
by Sam (Walter) Gailey 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

Hello, newbie question of the morning time, but hopefully not too off-topic... I run a small town network. A new building is being built that the town wants fiber access to. I have to specify for vendors what it is that the town expects in the cabling. I am (obviously) not a fiber expert, and I'm having trouble phrasing the language of the RFP so that we are assured a quality installation. My question is this; Is there an appropriate standard to specify for fiber-optic cabling that if it is followed the fiber will be installed correctly? Would specifying TIA/EIA 568-C.3, for example, be correct? I'm envisioning something like; "The vendor will provide fiber connectivity between (building A) and (building B). Vendor will be responsible for all building penetrations and terminations. When installing the fiber-optic cable the vendor will follow the appropriate TIA/EIA 568 standards for fiber-optic cabling." Any suggestions or examples of language would be very appreciated. Offlist contact is probably best. Many thanks, ---Sam

packet loss out of Texas on Cogent and GlobalCrossing
by Charles Gagnon 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

I need the Nanog intellect, We are seeing packet loss in certain scenarios only on traffic to and from Austin, TX. The local provider is Time Warner and they are not having (obvious) problems. We ran tests from NY and NJ over Internap and AboveNet connections.We only see problems when the traffic goes over gblx or cogent. Has anyone heard of problem with these carriers out of Texas? -- Charles Gagnon charlesg at unixrealm.com

It would be your target announcing the RFC1918 space, so the security risk would be if his ISP, your ISP and all of the intermediate peering/transit links were to honor those announcements and route the traffic to the target. Possible, and it has probably happened at some point, but not likely. The closer your logically to your target the more likely such an attack would succeed. I certainly don't recommend announcing RFC1918 space to the public Internet. Doing so is a bad thing. If you do so there is indeed a non-zero chance that someone close enough to you could connect to your network and do damage. Announcing RFC1918 space is less likely to route very far than announcing public space that isn't allocated to you, however. That's what the spammers all over the world are doing. In terms of security, most every SCADA system, as others have pointed out, should not be connected to the public Internet AT ALL. In this case it really doesn't matter what addressing scheme is used. Use Novell IPX or Appletalk if you want. Or MODBUS. If, however, it is using IPv4, RFC1918 space in a different subnet than anything used internally within the organization is a better choice than any public space or subnets of RFC1918 space in use within the organization. This offers a degree of protection against mis-cabling and other accidental or malicious vectors that could allow other networks to communicate with the SCADA network. It would probably be best if the SCADA hardware vendors were to ship their gear with no IP addresses pre-programmed at all, as well as preventing them from being configured until any default passwords are changed. Similarly, they should educate their installation contractors about such things. -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Engineering - jay(a)impulse.net Impulse Internet Service - http://www.impulse.net/ Your local telephone and internet company - 805 884-6323 - WB6RDV

Edgecast network issues seen in combination with lowered MTU
by Owen Roth 11 Nov '11

11 Nov '11

Hello, I had an issue with lowered MTU through a portion of my network, and besides the expected impact, some clients were unable to access resources either directly hosted or indirectly served content by EdgeCast Networks (had to look at traceroutes and view source to determine). I also found nodes that weren't pingable, and didn't appear to have ICMP unreachables available but no directly impacted end-to-end lowered MTU was visible. It seems to be a PathMTU issue or a weird unidirectional MTU issue (?). I have fixed the lowered MTU, and so restored connectivity to affected users -- this is not a current problem but still an incipient one. I consulted with EdgeCast NOC in this matter, but it is hard to demonstrate a <1% problem when it isn't apparent from every other network. Or they may have contracted clue-immunity, it's hard to tell. I've used MTUroute/TCProute and "ping a.b.c.d df-bit size 1500". That did NOT show an issue, 1500 bytes were pingable from the customer end and edge router. Given that I know it was an MTU issue, as that's how I patched and then fixed it, is there another tool that would detect whatever this is? Has anyone else seen this compound problem with EdgeCast Networks? Is "ICMP unreachables" ON to NOT break PMTUD per RFC, still best practice or has that drifted? Regards, Owen

ARIN-2011-1: ARIN Inter-RIR Transfers - Last Call (expires in one week)
by John Curran 11 Nov '11

11 Nov '11

NANOG Community - There is an Draft Policy for Inter-RIR Transfers presently in extended "Last Call" in the ARIN Policy Development Process. The Last Call will run for one more week, and allows an opportunity for anyone in the Internet community to provide feedback regarding this proposed number resource policy. Feedback, including statements in support or opposition, may be sent to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List "arin-ppml(a)arin.net<mailto:arin-ppml@arin.net>" (http://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/arin-ppml to join or view archives) A copy of the Last Call announcement, including the most recent changes and draft policy text, is attached to this email. Feel free to forward this email to anyone in the Internet community that you feel may wish to comment in support or opposition to this draft policy. Thanks! /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN Begin forwarded message: From: ARIN <info(a)arin.net<mailto:info@arin.net>> Subject: [arin-ppml] ARIN-2011-1: ARIN Inter-RIR Transfers - Last Call Date: October 19, 2011 3:11:59 PM EDT To: arin-ppml(a)arin.net<mailto:arin-ppml@arin.net> The ARIN Advisory Council (AC) met on 14 October 2011 and decided to send an amended version of the following draft policy to an extended last call: ARIN-2011-1: ARIN Inter-RIR Transfers The AC provided the following statement: ******** The Advisory Council reviewed the results of feedback from the ARIN XXVIII Public Policy Meeting concerning Draft Policy 2011-1 Inter-RIR Transfers. While there were concerns regarding the presented wording, there was significant continued support for a policy enabling Inter-Regional transfers of IPv4 number resources from organizations able to make them available to any organization with valid requirements. In addition to cumbersome wording, the presented text could not be cleanly inserted into the NRPM. The following is new language that directly modifies section 8.3 "Transfers to Specified Recipients" to allow such transfers to or from organizations in other regions. The first paragraph is a modified version of the current 8.3 policy language, envisioning resources being released to ARIN by the authorized resources holder or additionally by another RIR to be transferred to a specified recipient. The second sentence was reorganized to emphasize that it applies to an organization within the ARIN region that will receive such a specified transfer, and to eliminate the single aggregate language per 2011-10 which is also being sent to last call. The new second paragraph adds language enabling transfers to a specified recipient in another RIR's service region. This language specifies that such recipients justify their need to their RIR, following that RIR's policies. ARIN will verify that there is a compatible needs based policy that the other RIR will use to evaluate the need of the recipient and that both RIR's agree to the transfer. Implicit in the intent of the language presented and in conformance with statements made, the size of the block to be transferred is identified as /24 or larger, for obvious practical reasons. In accordance with concern for immediate adoption, the AC chose to forward this version to last call. Concerns expressed by some stakeholders for further controls were noted by the AC, and are being considered for future policy modification, assuaged in part by ARIN staff assurances that if any significant abuse of this policy were to occur, then the policy could easily be suspended. The AC thanks everyone in the community for their help in crafting this important policy and for your statements of support or other comments during Last Call. ******** Feedback is encouraged during the last call period. All comments should be provided to the Public Policy Mailing List. Last call for 2011-1 will expire on 16 November 2011. After last call the AC will conduct their last call review. The draft policy text is below and available at: https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/ The ARIN Policy Development Process is available at: https://www.arin.net/policy/pdp.html Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) ## * ## Draft Policy ARIN-2011-1 ARIN Inter-RIR Transfers Date/version: 14 October 2011 Policy statement: 8.3 Transfers to Specified Recipients In addition to transfers under section 8.2, IPv4 number resources may be released to ARIN by the authorized resource holder or another RIR, in whole or in part, for transfer to another specified organizational recipient. Organizations in the ARIN region may receive transferred number resources under RSA if they can demonstrate the need for such resources in the amount which they can justify under current ARIN policies. IPv4 address resources may be transferred to organizations in another RIR's service region if they demonstrate need to their region's RIR, according to that RIR's policies. Inter-regional transfers may take place only via RIRs who agree to the transfer and share compatible, needs-based policies. Such resources must be transferred in blocks of /24 or larger and will become part of the resource holdings of the recipient RIR. Timetable for implementation: immediate _______________________________________________ PPML You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List (ARIN-PPML(a)arin.net) Unsubscribe or manage your mailing list subscription at: http://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/arin-ppml Please contact info(a)arin.net if you experience any issues.

Firewalls - Ease of Use and Maintenance?
by Jones, Barry 11 Nov '11

11 Nov '11

Hello all. I am potentially looking at firewall products and wanted suggestions as to the easiest firewalls to install, configure and maintain? I have a few small networks ( 50 nodes at one site, 50 odd at another, and maybe 20 at another. I have worked with Cisco Pix, ASA, Netscreen, and Checkpoint (Nokia), and each have strong and not as strong features for ease of use. Like everyone, I'm resource challenged and need an easy solution to stand up and operate. Feel free to ping me offline - and thank you for the assistance. ---------------------------------------- Barry Jones - CISSP GSNA Project Manager II Sempra Energy Utilities (760) 271-6822 P please don't print this e-mail unless you really need to. ----------------------------------------
