On Monday 09 Jan 2006 15:46, you wrote: > What do you mean by "the authoritative name servers on different logical > networks." Whatever the logical division of IP routing is. On the internet this is usually AS number, but the network engineers might know of linkages between different networks at the same organisation. So it is probably wise to host one DNS server somewhere completely unrelated - different IX, different continent etc.

Sprint fixed

This is from InterNAP just now. -Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Notification Report Sent: Monday, January 09, 2006 8:45 PM To: Notification Report Subject: [EVENT UPDATE/RESOLUTION] Sprint Latency issues 20060109 [190743] Hello, As of 23:16 EST today, we have re-enabled the BGP peering with Sprint in all of our PNAPs. We were previously seeing latency, minor packet loss and path problems, which may have caused minor issues with your circuit(s). Sprint traced this issue to be a fiber cut affecting a number of their IP services throughout the United States, including their BGP sessions with Internap in our LAX, SJE, DEN, WDC, CHG, NYC, and OCY PNAPs. You can read the press release from Sprint on this issue at the following link: http://www2.sprint.com/mr/news_dtl.do?id=9680 While the fiber cut was being repaired, we had turned down our BGP sessions until further notice from Sprint. We received notification from Sprint at approximately 22:12 EST that all services were restored, and have completed turning Sprint back up in all PNAPs at approximately 23:16. While we turned the BGP sessions back up, customers may have noticed some sub-optimal routing or slight latency as traffic to/from the Sprint network was re-routed back to using Sprint. We are seeing stable connectivity at this time, and believe the issue to be resolved. In the meantime, we will continue to closely monitor this situation throughout the evening to ensure that everything remains stable. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you. Internap will continue to track this issue under ticket #190743. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Network Operations Center at noc(a)internap.com, or call us at 877.843.4662. Thanks, -Mike

IANA IPv4 allocations and bogon updates: 121/8, 122/8, and 123/8
by Rob Thomas 10 Jan '06

10 Jan '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- [ Apologies to those of you who receive this note in multiple forums. ] Hi, team. The numerous Team Cymru bogon projects have been updated as of 05 JAN 2006 to reflect the following IANA allocation made on 05 JAN 2006: 121/8 Jan 06 APNIC (whois.apnic.net) 122/8 Jan 06 APNIC (whois.apnic.net) 123/8 Jan 06 APNIC (whois.apnic.net) IANA allocations change over time, so please check regularly to ensure you have the latest filters if you are not using the bogon BGP feed(s). We do announce updates to the bogon projects to sundry lists, such as the bogon-announce list. We can not stress this point strongly enough - these allocations change. If you do not adjust your filters, you will be unable to access perhaps large portions of the Internet. Worse yet, you may end up blocking access for people who transit through you. Please do not apply any filters or blocks to your network without carefully considering the ramifications of doing so.

Dual fiber outages causes service disruption
by Sean Donelan 10 Jan '06

10 Jan '06

http://www2.sprint.com/mr/news_dtl.do?id=9680 At the time the cut occurred west of Phoenix, Sprint Nextel was conducting emergency maintenance to its fiber optic network near Reno Junction, Calif., which is near Reno, Nev. The traffic passing through Reno was being temporarily routed through the network near Phoenix as part of the standard emergency maintenance plan. This resulted in a "dual" fiber cut affecting traffic going to and coming from the west coast and other western parts of the United States.

West Coast broken / Sprint problems

More updates from my contact at Sprint and there's some interesting factoids in here: "There are some locations east of the Rockies that are experiencing issues. Sprint network control centers have multiple bridges activated and are exploring restoration opportunities. 1,401 DS3s and 42 Sonet Rings impacted. We have 3+ fiber techs at the cut site. It has not been confirmed if this is impacting multiple carriers." He followed up at 1717 Central to add, "20 of the 40 have been restored. I was told the other 20 should be restored within an hour. I am trying to confirm the ETR and to ensure it includes all the ds3s."

Yes, we have connections through Sprint, and they are having issues. They've told us it was a mud slide and a major fiber cut...
