Recommended DNS server for a medium 20-30k users isp
by DurgaPrasad - DatasoftComnet 21 Aug '25

21 Aug '25

Hello all, Do you have any recommendations for recursive DNS servers for a medium sized (20-30k users) ISP. We have used powerdns and unbound but sometimes find the caching times a bit on upper side. Any suggestions between these two or anything new? Also need points on how much we tune the settings pros and cons if any. Thank you /DP

Re: : Can a prefix be never routed on Internet but used only for source address in IP packets?
by Jakob Heitz (jheitz) 20 Aug '25

ICMP packets from internal devices. Example “unreachable”. Kind Regards, Jakob ---------------------------- Question: Can a prefix be never routed on the Internet but used only one-way for source address in IP packets? That is. a user owns an IP prefix. They never advertise a route to it in BGP on the Internet. But they use the prefix solely for source address in IP traffic from a source to a destination (sink). In this set up, the destination server obviously cannot/doesn't return any acknowledgements etc. to the source. Anyone aware if there is any such known application in use on the Internet - even if it is rare? Thanks. Sriram

Internet Visualization Exhibit (IVE) at SIGCOMM 2025
by Loqman Salamatian 19 Aug '25

19 Aug '25

Paul Barford (University of Wisconsin–Madison) and I (Columbia University) are organizing the Internet Visualization Exhibition (IVE) as a special, non-paper session at SIGCOMM 2025 on September 11. The goal is to showcase creative and insightful visualizations of Internet-scale systems — from connectivity maps and temporal changes to AS-level graphs and other innovative ways of making the Internet more understandable. If you’ve created visualizations that reveal patterns, highlight anomalies, or explain complex behaviors in the Internet, we would love to see them and showcase them. We’re looking for: Static images, animations, or interactive demos Visuals that reveal structure, highlight anomalies, or explain complex behaviors Work that’s compelling, bold, or just visually satisfying Submissions are lightweight: just a visual and a short description. There’s no formal review process. Important: You don’t need to attend SIGCOMM to take part. While presenting in person is a great way to connect with others and share your work, the exhibition is open to submissions from anyone, anywhere. Whether you’re a researcher, network operator, data-viz enthusiast, or artist working with Internet data or infrastructure, we’d love to see what you’ve been visualizing! 📄 More details: https://burdantes.github.io/ive/ 📩 Questions? Reach out to me. And please share with anyone who might be interested! Loqman Salamatian

Re: Can a prefix be never routed on Internet but used only for source address in IP packets?

This happens unintentionally quite a bit with misconfigured NAT. You will see RFC 1918 source addresses in packets from time to time. I can't speak to the application or value of this, but I have seen this and done it accidentally on one occasion.
