home router battery backup
by Scott T Anderson 19 Jan '22

19 Jan '22

Hi NANOG mailing list, I am a graduate student, currently conducting research on how power outages affect home Internet users. I know that the FCC has a regulation since 2015 (47 CFR Section 9.20) requiring ISPs to provide an option to voice customers to purchase a battery backup for emergency voice services during power outages. As this is only an option and only applies to customers who subscribe to voice services, I was wondering if anyone had any insights on the prevalence of battery backup for home modem/routers? I.e., what percentage of home users actually install a battery backup in their home modem/router or use an external UPS? Thanks. Scott Reference for 47 CFR Section 9.20: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-47/chapter-I/subchapter-A/part-9/subpart…

Any half decent battery inverters will be able to adequately support this, out the box. Mark.

This piece: https://www.npr.org/2022/01/18/1073863310/an-undersea-cable-fault-could-cut… drills down to this piece with slightly more detail: https://www.reuters.com/markets/funds/undersea-cable-fault-could-cut-off-to… I'm told their national carrier is trying to bring in a ground station as well, though not whom it will connect to.

Undersea cable damages in the Atlantic?
by Mukund Sivaraman 18 Jan '22

18 Jan '22

We received the following email today from our upstream (in India): > Our transit traffic partners have reported multiple sub-sea cable > damages on the Atlantic route towards Europe and US east coast. Users > might face additional latency and occasional packet loss towards these > destinations. > > Our partners are working with relevant authorities and cable sea > companies for restoration and will take few days to address it. We > will inform as soon as this is resolved. Inconvenience caused is > highly regretted. I've read about cable cuts due to the Tonga volcanic eruption, but the above as "multiple cable damages" is mentioned as in the Atlantic. Does anyone know more about this? A news search for "cable cuts" didn't bring up anything aside from the Tonga story. Mukund

SRv6 Capable NOS and Devices
by Colton Conor 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

I know the SRv6 is a fairly new technology. I am wondering which vendors and network operating systems fully support SRv6 today? Has anyone deployed this new technology? If building a greenfield regional ISP network, would SRv6 be a requirement? My understanding is that because it's using IPv6 in the dataplane, not all devices have to have SRv6 enabled. The in-between core devices just have to support IPv6, but not necessarily support SRv6. This is much different than traditional MPLS networks today where all devices have to support MPLS/LDP correct?

enom giving Google a bad name

Many of you might be following the enom weekend fiasco: https://twitter.com/enomsupport/status/1482621466151571456 https://twitter.com/enomsupport/status/1482707275529678849 https://enomstatus.com/ Thousands of domains have been knocked out. But I just found out that Google is an enom reseller: https://help.enom.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005222367-My-Domain-was-register… "Google handles all of the billing and renewals of your domain name, while Enom offers technical support to manage your domain." So who takes responsibility when a fiasco happens like this: Google or Enom? -Hank

Open source mapping of US high voltage electrical grid
by Eric Kuhnke 16 Jan '22

16 Jan '22

Possibly of interest for network operators who have inter-city circuits, where the underlying carrier is something on OPGW fiber in high voltage lines. These people seem to be making an effort at mapping out high voltage lines, hydroelectric dams, substations, etc. https://openinframap.org

Useful ping targets for end-users?
by Adam Thompson 15 Jan '22

15 Jan '22

Before you start reading, yes, I fully understand how silly this question is. But I need to give _something_ to a customer who has the ability to run ping/traceroute but nothing else. (And they have an intermittent latency problem that we haven’t been able to isolate yet.) Does anyone curate a list of “useful” ICMP responders that are at least kinda-sorta reliable/expected to continue responding? For example, all the major anycast DNS cloud providers respond to ICMP, but I don’t really want to tell my customer to ping an anycast IP address because the RTT results will be useless data (for comparative purposes). I’m also not excited about providing random router IP address for what should be obvious reasons. There are some IPs that my routing paths that should be stable, but between routing changes and control-plane policing, those aren’t awesome. I’m looking for IPs I can suggest that are well outside my network. Restatement: yes, there are much better ways to diagnose problems, but my customer can only run ping & traceroute (and pathping, I suppose) and is capable enough to run those tools and self-assess before calling me. It sounds foolish to even ask, but maybe there’s a resource out there I don’t know about… -Adam Adam Thompson Consultant, Infrastructure Services [MERLIN] 100 - 135 Innovation Drive Winnipeg, MB, R3T 6A8 (204) 977-6824 or 1-800-430-6404 (MB only) athompson(a)merlin.mb.ca<mailto:athompson@merlin.mb.ca> www.merlin.mb.ca<http://www.merlin.mb.ca/>
