Upcycling devices like DOCSIS 3.0 MODEMs
by Andrew Latham 24 Sep '21

24 Sep '21

I found some new in box MODEMs in storage and they are 3.0 DOCSIS. I was wondering how I could donate them to an ISP that still uses DOCSIS 3.0. I think several ISPs have switched to 3.1 Should I use the vendor recycling method and hope it stays out of a landfill? -- - Andrew "lathama" Latham -

Fiber Network Equipment Commercial Norms
by jray06＠gmail.com 23 Sep '21

23 Sep '21

A few of the buildings that my firm represents have the local telco's fiber distribution and/or repeater equipment located on the premises. My understanding is that when one of these links go down, (we've occasionally had to interrupt circuit power to do maintenance in a building for one reason or another), a local engineering tech always comes running to restore the link. The tech has led our maintenance staff to believe that these repeaters are an integral part of the local ring, which fits my understanding. When a network operator has equipment located at a third party premises, what is the norm for commercial contractual terms regarding the siting of that equipment? Any network equipment on site pre-dates my client's ownership of the buildings, and they have no record of any agreements or easements governing who is responsible for power, maintenance, liability, etc. My client has no philosophical objection to having the equipment on site, but he's asked why he has had to pay to power and cool this equipment for almost 20 years when it serves him no benefit (he is not utilizing that company's services). I figure some of you may be able to give me an insight as to what is normal and reasonable. Feel free to contact me directly if this message is not suitable for this distribution list.

DNS & IP address management
by Joel Sommers 23 Sep '21

23 Sep '21

Hello all - I am a researcher at Colgate University, working with colleagues at the University of Wisconsin and Boston University on studying aspects of the DNS. We're wondering if anyone here would be willing to share some insight into an apparent IP address management practice we have observed that is evident through the DNS. In particular, we've seen a number of organizations that have a fairly large number of IPv4 addresses (typically all within the same /24 aggregate or similar) all associated with a single FQDN, where the name is typically something like "reserved.52net.example.tld". Besides the common "reserved" keyword in the FQDN, we also see names like "not-in-use.example.tld", again with quite a few addresses all mapped to that one name. The naming appears to suggest that this is an on-the-cheap IP address management practice, but we are wondering if there are other operational reasons that might be behind what we observe. Thank you for any insights you have -- please feel free to respond off-list. Regards, Joel Sommers

RE: Fiber Network Equipment Commercial Norms

Appreciate everyone’s comments here. Lots of good responses. I think the client isn’t really looking to squeeze the equipment owner here, more so just looking for a formal agreement that codifies responsibility, insurance, points of contact for notifications, etc… (the leaking battery example is a great example here). Tim has a good point, based on what I know about the building, I believe it to be part of a metro ring or backbone. This isn’t an MDU, but rather an institutional building where they previously brought in 4” cables full of twisted pair back in the 70’s. That’s all been replaced by the fiber now. Whatever it is, the owner comes running when the local maintenance apprentice unplugs it…. He tells me they show up within 30-45 minutes. Thanks for everyone’s insight! Thanks, Jeff Ray 956-592-2019 JRay06(a)gmail.com <mailto:JRay06@gmail.com>
