bgplay.routeviews.org online again (finally)
by John Kemp 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

See: http://bgplay.routeviews.org/ It's up again, and actively updating. We ran into a space crunch on the previous machine. We now have the DB living on one of our stable RAID6 arrays. Currently the data is from January 26, 2011 to present. (it's finishing the data for 08/03/2011 right now...) The data source is the route-views2 collector. Data downloads of routing updates happen at :10 after each hour. --- John Kemp (kemp(a)routeviews.org) RouteViews Engineer NOC: help(a)routeviews.org http://www.routeviews.org

L3 Issues
by Khurram Khan 01 Aug '11

01 Aug '11

Hello and Good Morning, Are there reports of L3 having issues this morning ? Starting at about 10:10 A Pacific, I started seeing huge drops in traffic at various sites, including San Diego, Houston, San Antonio, Charlotte, NC, Philadelphia, etc. Anyone seeing a similar behavior ?

Seeing a big drop in outbound traffic on our L3 link starting about that time (we're a web host). Getting calls about sites down too; all the traces I've walked customers through so far have died on L3 networks.

DNS DoS ???
by Elliot Finley 01 Aug '11

01 Aug '11

my DNS servers were getting slow so I blocked recursive queries for all but my own network. Then I was getting so many of these: ns2 named[5056]: client 78.159.111.190#25345: query (cache) 'isc.org/ANY/IN' denied that is was still slowing things down. I've since written a script to watch the log and throw these into the box local firewall. If I expire the entries after 24 hours then I accumulate about 10200 unique IPs. If I expire after 48 hours, then it's just over 20000 unique IPs. Is anyone else seeing this? Elliot

Re: 3Com Total Control documentation

Yeah, you are correct. But it was still a dumpster.

The last tech probably doesn't want to be bothered...that's a management issue. A PortMaster 3 may solve your problems. I looked at 3Com Total Control about 15 years ago but know nothing about it. We employed US Robotics rack-mount chassis paired with Xyplex terminal servers. That was replaced with the Livingston PortMaster 3 (later bought by Lucent). Each PortMaster 3 connects to two T1 lines and a 10BaseT Ethernet, supporting 48 users. Use RADIUS authentication and you're all set. You can probably pick up some of those for a hundred dollars. You will need to learn about T1 phone lines and RADIUS.

The racks have been running in auto-pilot for several years now and the last tech's comments with regard to the racks was along the lines of "I don't know". I would like to regain control over the network as recently the outages are becoming more frequent and extended and we don't usually know about it until customers call the support line a week later. Decommissioning the racks is not currently an option as there are no other reasonable alternatives for internet service (other than satellite). The ISP being an marginal area provider is also short in funds. I'm having a hard time finding documentation, firmware updates or support for these racks. As far as I can tell, the current owner of the product line is UTStarCom in China, but their website does not make any reference to the product. I also found a company that sells the equipment and provides support contracts, WRCA, but their pricing is out of the budget range for the ISP. I am hoping that some of you who used to work with this equipment may still have documentation CDs or firmware updates stored away somewhere. I'm looking for any documentation, firmware updates and some help figuring out which NAC goes with which NIC. Or perhaps you can suggest other companies that provide support for the equipment at more reasonable rates. I would be willing to setup a public repository to help other admins.
