Troubles with HE's Tunnelbroker
by Dan Mahoney, System Admin 18 May '06

18 May '06

I know at least some people here (srs?) use HE.net's tunnelbroker service. Has anyone else been experiencing issues? I have three different tunnels that I've noticed are down (to various data centers), and calling their support department (and emailing) thusfar have proved to be less than helpful. If anyone else using the service could contact me out-of-band in the interest of comparing notes, I'd greatly appreciate it.

How to tell if something is anycasted?
by David Hubbard 18 May '06

18 May '06

So I'm looking at a company who offers anycasted DNS; how do I tell if it's really anycasted? Just hop on different route servers to see if I can find different AS paths and then do traceroutes to see if they suggest the packets are not ending in the same location? >From my routers' perspective I don't see a difference, but then I don't think I should, correct? Thanks, David

The ranking of French ISPs is different, depending on if you consider the volume of spam (weights high-bandwidth ISPs heavier) or number of hosts. By volume of spam, it is: Proxad 12322 38% France Telecom 3215 22% LDCOMNET (cegetel) 15557 17% NOOS 6778 6% Cegetel 8228 5% By number of hosts, Proxad and France telecom swap places. The number of hosts, probably compromised, is very, very high on both. I'm seeing about 70,000 hosts used per month on F.T., and about 35,000 per month on Proxad, but the aggregated number of compromised hosts is much higher. --

FCC Issues Second Order Mandating Internet Wiretapping Standards
by Fergie 17 May '06

17 May '06

Pardon the interruption, but I thought this might be slightly interesting to the list. EPIC.org: [snip] The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has released a second order reaffirming its decision to require that broadband and certain VoIP services be designed to make government wiretapping easier. This new order was issued despite the fact that a federal appeals court is considering a legal challenge to the FCC's initial decision to extend the "Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act" (CALEA) to the Internet. In its second order, the FCC imposed new compliance deadlines, but refused to clarify exactly what service providers must do. CDT has led the appeals court challenge, which if successful will overrule the FCC order. [snip] EPIC statement: http://www.cdt.org/headlines/891 Second FCC CALEA order: http://www.cdt.org/digi_tele/20060512calea.pdf Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

I find that the state is invariably correct. Although the seems to be a lot of 'uncertainty' about how to spell "confusion".

private ip addresses from ISP
by adrian kok 17 May '06

17 May '06

Hi all Have you had this experience? Our router is running BGP and connecting to our upstream provider with /30 network. Our log reveals that there are private IP addresses reaching our router's interface that is facing our upstream ISP. How could this be possible? Should upstream ISP be blocking private IP address according to standard configuration? Could the packet be stripped and IP be converted somehow during the transition? It happens in many Tier-1 ISP though ! Thank you for your information
