Sweet, that’s massively helpful. I just found the link to request access to the Google ISP portal. Thank you, Michael K. Spears From: Brendan Halley <brendan(a)halley.net.au> Sent: Friday, March 26, 2021 6:18 PM To: Michael K. Spears <michael(a)spears.io> Subject: Re: Google IP Geolocation Hey, Google ISP portal is your best bet. Can do it self service. Another way is to get a few Android devices onto the IP range. Google use them heavily for working out Geo. Brendan On Sat, 27 Mar 2021, 9:14 am Michael K.

FCC seeks information about wireless service provider's disaster prepardness
by Sean Donelan 26 Mar '21

26 Mar '21

The same FCC which keeps outage reports secret from the public (and congress?), is seeking information about wireless service provider's safety measures during disasters. https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-21-362A1.pdf How have mobile wireless service providers addressed and improved network reliability in the face of natural disasters? Overall, what resiliency measures are most effective? How can these measures be improved? How have customers responded to new measures? We specifically seek comment on steps wireless mobile providers have taken to ensure network resiliency, including but not limited to: back up power in areas prone to planned power outages to mitigate wildfires; pre-storm staging processes; roaming agreements that can be activated quickly following a natural disaster; effective coordination with power companies, municipalities, and backhaul providers; diversification of backhaul options in disaster prone areas; availability of deployable network assets; network infrastructure sharing among operators during natural disasters; and communicating disaster-related information with customers, particularly members of vulnerable populations, including individuals who are low-income, members of the disabilities community, or non-English speaking. Are there successful network resiliency policy measures for fixed networks that have been applied to wireless networks, especially given that much of the backhaul for wireline providers is the same as wireless providers? We also seek comment on cost and benefit issues associated with implementing measures to maintain and improve resiliency of mobile wireless networks.

Cox Outage - a little humor for the day
by Chris Moody 25 Mar '21

25 Mar '21

Apologies in advance for the random message to the board, but it IS provider-related and gave me a good chuckle. Sometimes the timing of events just presents it's own humor in beautiful ways. My wife's office just lost all connectivity and they received a status notification from Cox Communications. While checking the company's twitter for any status announcements, Cox had posted the following webinar just an hour ago. Cheers, -Chris -- Node-Nine, Inc. chris(a)node-nine.com 619.354.6463

Reinventing the wheel on a path to deeper learning
by NANOG News 24 Mar '21

24 Mar '21

We’d be hard pressed to name many teenagers as thoughtful, curious, and open to new experiences as Nate Sales. Now in his junior year at the Catlin Gabel School in Portland, Oregon, he has already built, designed, and engineered more than most people twice his age. Nate not only manages his school’s robotics team, he also developed an app to track on-campus movement during COVID 19, coordinates radio communications for the Amateur Radio Emergency Service, is a Reliability Engineer at Fosshost, and sits on the advisory board of the Emerald Onion — a Seattle nonprofit and encrypted transit ISP. We spoke with Nate recently about his path into tech, and his experience presenting at a NANOG conference, where he was — to our collective knowledge — the youngest to ever do so. What struck us most was his curiosity and willingness to build, dismantle, and rebuild again in the name of new discoveries and greater insights; an ethos all of us could stand to learn from.

OAuth for RIRs - There is already any Idea like that?
by Douglas Fischer 24 Mar '21

24 Mar '21

For me, every day it becomes more evident the need to validate information managed by the RIRs / NIRs / LIRs on separate information platforms. A very simple example is PeeringDB itself, which requires confirmation of correlation between the ASN whois contact and the account that is registering the organization. P.S.1: At least for me, this is more evident when it comes to numerical resources, but without going much deeper into the analysis, I believe that this is also applicable to name resources. I was wondering how complex it would be for RIRs / NIRs to implement some mechanism similar to the OAuth of NIC-Handler accounts to, through a delimitation protocol, allow accounts between information platforms to be correlated, information to be confirmed and maybe even inserted and updated. Still dreaming a little bit about the possibilities, I imagined that in a federation context, IANA or NRO could correlate NIC-Handlers from the same organization in different RIRs. In addition to the PeeringDB example, other uses (non-exhaustive list) of this solution could be: - Linking between Maintainers of IRR bases and owners of resources in RIRs. - Linking between accounts on the basis of IXPs, and ASN owners. - Authentication and integration of RPKI CA Delegate services. I believe that we are already at a point where we can go beyond just using email confirmation. OAuth and similar protocols include benefits such as: - Simplified use of cryptographic protections - Specific definition of the duration of the authorization. - Forced expiration of authorization. - Granular definition of which attributes will have read-only or read and write access. I know that for a person with little experience everything seems possible, and for more hardened people things do not seem that simple. I also know that not everything in this world depends only on technological feasibility. For although there may be protocols and techniques to solve a problem, many questions depend on the layer 9 definitions of the OSI model. P.S.2: To be honest, I don't know if there are already initiatives in this direction from the point of view of making this a standard resource. But unless I am mistaken, https://www.denic.de/ already has something similar in place. -- Douglas Fernando Fischer Engº de Controle e Automação

Peering and Caching for Epic Games, Fortnite, et al
by Jose Luis Rodriguez 23 Mar '21

23 Mar '21

We run a healthy-sized ISP (say, 2.5M households, plus enterprise, etc ) and we really, REALLY want to make sure our users have an amazing experience when downloading the neverending Fortnite/Spacequest/Blizzard/DigDug updates that run down our pipes. Would love to hear from others about how they're peering and caching -- not having the level of success I'd want with the typical "aggregators" (they know who they are ) and would really like to link to the source even if it means trenching through the core of the Earth... Would love pointers, names, or any leads, on or off list. Thanks Jose L. Rodriguez CTO, Totalplay

I cannot see how that would be any different from now things are now. My idea would be to expand the amount of categories that are available, instead of having one just one big bucket for everyone.
