The procedure is to call them on the phone (24/7 support), as has been explained recently on this mailing list: http://nic.merit.edu/mail.archives/html/nanog/msg05535.html Since you're a direct customer of UUnet this should definitely work. > Calling UUNET triggers a reply a few weeks later from help(a)uu.net, > asking to forward the request to security(a)uu.net, itself aliased to > /dev/null > Also, is anybody else having problems with UUNET adding IP blocks, > without notifying their customers? Do you mean they filter ("block") specific IP addresses? (Anyway, we haven't had any problems with UUnet lately ourselves :-) Regards, -- Simon.

UUNET security contacts
by David Harmelin 14 Nov '00

14 Nov '00

All, Does anybody have a security-related email address at UUNET, which is actually read by a human? Calling UUNET triggers a reply a few weeks later from help(a)uu.net, asking to forward the request to security(a)uu.net, itself aliased to /dev/null Also, is anybody else having problems with UUNET adding IP blocks, without notifying their customers? Cheers, DH. ___________________________________________________________________ * * David Harmelin Network Engineer * * DANCERT Representative * Francis House * 112 Hills Road Tel +44 1223 302992 * Cambridge CB2 1PQ Fax +44 1223 303005 D A N T E United Kingdom WWW http://www.dante.net ____________________________________________________________________

The urban legend, the Internet ran best during IETF week when most of the engineers were out of the office and not making changes to their networks. I have no data to back up that statement.

Hey Randy, Why don't you fix your own backbone before you worry about other peoples networks? Your wonderful engineering team has my site down to 50% of the world for the past 12 hours, for the third time in 90 days (twice now you've taken me down for over *24* hours). What's even funnier, is that I'm also down to half of your own internal backbone. Half your NOC staff can't even get to me. You should develop some wonderful tools like the one you spammed nanog with, to establish some SLA towards your customers. Peering don't mean shit if you can't pass packets to your data centers. jamie
