Syngenta space
by Eugen Leitl 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

Hi, sorry for the noise, but my contact at Syngenta says they have 147.0.0.0/8 168.0.0.0/8 and 172.0.0.0/8, which is obviously bogus. They do have a 168.246.0.0/16 however. Any tool to look the other two up quickly, without having to iterate through the entire second octet?

This may be the wrong place to ask but maybe one of you could point me in a direction. I'm looking for [ideally] historical market pricing for mpls/ipl between as many as possible city pairs [with a focus toward Asia] as well as ip maybe 5 year back. Thanks, Chris

SDH 1+1 protected circuit and OSPF minimal setup on a single Juniper platform.
by Lorenzo Rossi 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

Hi, I have some doubts about the minimal configuration to handle an SDH 1+1 protected circuit with OSPF on a single Juniper router platform (one interface as the Working Circuit and another interface as the Protect Circuit). Reading the JunOS documentation, for instance the 9.4 JunOS version: http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/software/junos/junos94/swconfig-network-int… and using the various configuration snippet I tried to link together various pieces of configuration and the result is below: so-0/2/0 { framing { sdh; } sonet-options { aps { working-circuit bayward; authentication-key blarney; } } unit 0 { family inet { address 10.100.100.1/24; } } } so-1/3/0 { framing { sdh; } sonet-options { aps { protect-circuit bayward; authentication-key blarney; } } unit 0 { family inet { address 10.100.200.1/24; } } } lab@r1# show protocols ospf area 0.0.0.0 { interface so-0/2/0.0; interface so-1/3/0.0; } } If I'm not wrong the APS/MSP signaling protocol router implementation should set one of the two sonet interfaces as Up and the other as Down, so the OSPF should install in routing table only the IP network related to the Up interface. Am I wrong? Do you think I forgot some configuration pieces? Thanks and regards, Lorenzo

Level 3 Agrees to Purchase Global Crossing
by William Allen Simpson 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/print/2011-04-11/level-3-agrees-to-acquire-gl… The deal will combine two unprofitable companies with total revenue of $6.26 billion as of last year, and cut annualized capital spending by about $40 million, according to the statement. It will also help reduce the pressure on prices, which have declined by as much as 30 percent a year in the industry, said Donna Jaegers, an analyst at DA Davidson & Co. “This is what telecom has needed for a long time,” said Denver-based Jaegers, who recommends buying both stocks. “You have way too many players.”

RE: Barracuda Networks is at it again: Any Suggestions as to an Alternative?
by Ray Corbin 12 Apr '11

I also use postini and it works really well for my current needs. <rant>I had experience with Barracuda as outbound anti-spam filters for a very large hosting provider and I won't use Barracuda again. Some of their methods for blocking spam are a tad extreme. At one point they decided to block both yahoo.com and google.com in their domain filters because neither company responded timely to their complaint emails and wanted their attention...not to mention their buggy 'spam engine' that died many times causing mail to error with 'failure to connect to 127.0.0.1'... I especially loved their tier 1's response of how the issue is on the recipients end because they couldn't telnet to mail.domain.com from their workstation...I had to first explain how mail.domain.com wasn’t the MX record for domain.com (it ironically was a postini MX record) and that it was obvious when thousands of messages sit in the inbound queue saying 'failure to connect to 127.0.0.1' meant their engine died and their 'watchdog' process failed to restart it. To me their Tier 1 unable to do the basics was pretty unacceptable. </rant> -r -----Original Message----- From: proth(a)cnsny.net [mailto:proth@cnsny.net] Sent: Saturday, April 09, 2011 11:56 AM To: Andrew Kirch; John Palmer (NANOG Acct); nanog(a)nanog.org Subject: Re: Barracuda Networks is at it again: Any Suggestions as to an Alternative? Andrew, We use and offer Postini - a front end service. Postini is a anti virus and spam filter, and can spool mail if your circuits are down. Postini is a Google company and works like a charm.

To: "John Palmer (NANOG Acct)" <nanog2(a)adns.net>, <nanog(a)nanog.org> John, My suggestion isn't _QUITE_ an appliance, but it works very well and I've been exceptionally happy with it. It's a distribution of linux controlled via a web interface that does far more than just mail filtering (at which it is both flexible and adept). Take a look at http://www.clearfoundation.com/Software/overview.html. The hardware requirements shouldn't be too insane, and the rules updates/subscriptions for the various services are all month to month, and not a bucket of insane.

Facebook Opens Up Its Hardware Secrets
by Bruce Williams 12 Apr '11

12 Apr '11

FYI Just weeks before switching on a massive, super-efficient data center in rural Oregon, Facebook is giving away the designs and specifications to the whole thing online. In doing so, the company is breaking a long-established unwritten rule for Web companies: don't share the secrets of your server-stuffed data warehouses http://www.technologyreview.com/computing/37317/?a=f Bruce Williams Concepts, like individuals, have their histories and are just as incapable of withstanding the ravages of time as are individuals. But in and through all this they retain a kind of homesickness for the scenes of their childhood. Soren Kierkegaard
