AS3951 peering at AADS
by Jeremiah Kristal 26 Jul '99

26 Jul '99

Due to a telco SNAFU, the AS3951 (Iconnet) connection to the AADS peering point has been disconnected. We are working with the telco to restore service, but have been told that this was disconnected in 1996, and must therefore be totally re-engineered. We hope to have this restored this week.

The Cidr Report
by Tony Bates 23 Jul '99

23 Jul '99

This is an auto-generated mail on Fri Jul 23 12:00:00 PDT 1999 It is not checked before it leaves my workstation. However, hopefully you will find this report interesting and will take the time to look through this to see if you can improve the amount of aggregation you perform. The report is split into sections: 0) General Status List the route table history for the last week, list any possibly bogus routes seen and give some status on ASes. 1) Gains by aggregating at the origin AS level This lists the "Top 30" players who if they decided to aggregate their announced classful prefixes at the origin AS level could make a significant difference in the reduction of the current size of the Internet routing table. This calculation does not take into account the inclusion of holes when forming an aggregate so it is possible even larger reduction should be possible. 2) Weekly Delta A summary of the last weeks changes in terms of withdrawn and added routes. Please note that this is only a snapshot but does give some indication of ASes participating in CIDR. Clearly, it is generally a good thing to see a large amont of withdrawls. 3) Interesting aggregates Interesting here means not an aggregate made as a set of classful routes. Thanks to xara.net for giving me access to their routing tables once a day. Please send any comments about this report directly to me.

AS 1717 and 5511 ?
by Ulf Zimmermann 23 Jul '99

23 Jul '99

While doing some analyzing of traffic, AS paths, etc. I saw very often AS 1717 and 5511. ARIN doesn't show anything for 1717 in the whois database. 5511 shows as being in a block to RIPE. Ripe shows nothing for 5511 or 1717. The address blocks seems to be all routed to Renater.fr, who is also listed as AS1717-MNT. Wonder how many more AS numbers are out there not listed.... -- Regards, Ulf. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ulf Zimmermann, 1525 Pacific Ave., Alameda, CA-94501, #: 510-769-2936 Alameda Networks, Inc. | http://www.Alameda.net | Fax#: 510-521-5073

OUTAGE: worldcom frame-relay intermittent problems
by Sean Donelan 22 Jul '99

22 Jul '99

MCI/Worldcom seems to be have intermittent failures with their frame-relay network. Several ISPs have reported they are seeing problems at very diverse places around the US. MCI/Worldcom is reporting frame switch problems in multiple cities up and down the east coast. Due to usual bizzare MCI/Worldcom ciruit routing, it is having nationwide affects. -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representation

Podunk Telco
by Derek Balling 22 Jul '99

22 Jul '99

OK, interesting question... a friend of mine lives in upstate NY, where he has Citizens Telecom (or whatever they're calling themselves this week). All the Cits'Tel areas used to be GTE until GTE got kicked out by the PUC for poor customer service. Cits Tel has basically ignored the CO he is served out of -- as well as most of their other NY CO's -- when it comes to hardware upgrades. (not even ISDN is available, nor is it predicted to be available for several years). By comparison, he is only 80 miles north of NYC where Bell Atlantic is beginning DSL rollouts. Other BA areas around him can also get ISDN, although not really at anything considered affordable). Leaving for Bell Atlantic (a 7 mile move) is not an option for various reasons. He has mentioned to me, "what if I formed an CLEC/ISP and started leasing dry copper from CitsTel to provide DSL myself?" at which point he was very much over my head in ability to answer. His sole motivation in this is that he wants to be able to get affordable dedicated access himself. :) (If he could make a decent living at it beating CT to the punch, I'm sure that he wouldn't mind that either).

Domain dissapearances?
by George Herbert 21 Jul '99

21 Jul '99

I have had one of my domains dissapear (possibly into "on hold" status, but no confirmation/notice from NetSol since I noticed and started complaining on Saturday) from the root servers DNS though it's in whois fine. I have gotten a couple of other reports that people's domains have similarly up and vanished out of DNS without any warning or known cause, with similar lack of response from NetSol so far. Is anyone else seeing a problem pattern here, or is this just a few random minor outages? Anyone else having problems getting NSI to answer their email right now as well? If you know of a serious problem, feel free to reply to the list, but if you have just a minor informational report please email me directly to keep S/N high on the list. I'll summarize such reports if it looks useful later. Thanks! -george william herbert gherbert(a)crl.com Disclaimer: I am not a CRL Employee.

Response Time Software
by Derrick Bennett 21 Jul '99

21 Jul '99

This may not qualify as completely on topic but I need to tap the vast knowledge of the Nanog group. I am in need of software that can give me response time statistics of our internet access points. We currently have multi-homed connections in various states and utilize proxy servers and socks servers for employee access to the Net. The issue is a need for a way to continously poll various Internet web sites via the proxy servers and socks servers to show average response times over time from various points on the backbone. Is anyone else doing this or have idea on what software may help accomplish this task. Please reply to me in private and I will post a summary message later on. Thanks, Derrick Bennett
