Has Level3 done away with traceroute??
by Van Dyk, Donovan 21 Sep '17

21 Sep '17

Hello All, Recently I was troubleshooting a network event for a client of our who resides on the Level3 network. While trying to verify the path, I noticed I am no longer able to traceroute through the Level3 network. The funny thing is this is not just isolated to the /32. It appears to be that the entire 4.0.0.0/9 network is no longer able to traceroute through. Everything dies on their edge network. This appears to be isolated to traceroute. I have check this in NA and EU. My carrier contacted Level3 who pretty much stated that they can’t provide anything. I have checked multiple looking glasses and other online tools and none of them make it. Even Level3 looking glass drops the packets. Does anyone know anything about this? I’m pretty sure this is the first time we are seeing this. Random 4.0.0.0/9 address.

Re: IOS new versions and network load

If the Server App could run on Linux, or if OS-X could boot on standard servers, perhaps, it it seems to be a very bad fit in carrier/enterprise environments. > Implementation will be a little tricky, because you need your > customers to look a record in your domain. I've tried reading some about it. The cache server app registers with Apple its existence and the IP address ranges it serves When a client wants to download new IOS version, Apple checked and finds that the client's IP is served by the caching server whose "local" IP is a.b.c.d (akaL the inside NAT IP address). Tells client to get version of software from that IP address. The DNS TXT records are used by the Caching Server to get the list of IP blocks it can serve. (not needed in the target small office environments where everyone is on same subnet and the caching server can tell the apple serves the one subnet it seves).

Hurricane Maria: Dominica complete communication outage 12 hours
by Sean Donelan 21 Sep '17

21 Sep '17

Its very unusual to loose all communications with a country for almost 12 hours in 2017. During Hurricane Maria, essentially all communications were cut with the Commonwealth of Dominica at about September 19, 2017 at 4:00am local time. It took nearly 12 hours to re-establish any communications with officials on the island via radio. There has been some unofficial communications with ham radio operators, assumed to be on the island. All power, wireline, internet and cell service appears to still be out. Its unclear how much is due to general damage which will take a while to repair or specific points which could be repaired quickly. There are some VSAT links in Dominica, but I didn't get responses from the ones I tried. Initial aerial fly-overs by CDEMA/RSS, a joint disaster agency by 6 participating countries in the Eastern Caribbean, saw 70%-80% damage to buildings, the hospital and other infrastructure. The Barbados Coast Guard is sailing tonight towards Dominica trying to re-establish better communications for relief efforts. Additional relief personnel are due to be sent in the morning, during daylight hours.

IOS new versions and network load
by Jean-Francois Mezei 20 Sep '17

20 Sep '17

A couple years ago, Apple unleashed an IOS update which made the news because network operators reported serious congestion on their networks as everyone and their uncle tried to download the gig+ package at 11:00 PDT. Was the problem solved simply by Apple staggering the announcement of downloads? or were there distribution network changes also made to reduce the load? In Canada, during net neutralirty hearings, it was revealed that cellular carriers zero rated over the air updates. I know my iPhone gets updates without me asking for them, only getting a "update ready to install" while on a long cycling ride (aka: must have used cellular data). Does anyone know whether this is pushed by Apple who has gotten the OK form individual carriers, or is it pushed by carriers (with Apple's OK) in a low priorioty stream that doesn't cause congestion on cellular network? (carriers delivering content in "push mode" would change their role).

Level 3 SIP trunking and E911
by Christopher J. Wolff 20 Sep '17

20 Sep '17

I've been informed by my Level 3 sales rep that the only way to make moves/adds/changes for Level 3 E911 is through the portal. This seems awkward since I have Emergency Responder which can link into products like Intrado. Are there any SIP/E911 folks from Level 3 that can clarify what my options are? It would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, CJ

Dear all, Adam Chappell created an interesting shim to improve the default behaviour related to EBGP Internet routing on Juniper Junos. https://twitter.com/packetsource/status/910219911150080007 SLAX script here: https://github.com/packetsource/rfc8212-junos Props to both Adam for creating the script and to Juniper for allowing such permissionless patching! This is cool. Kind regards, Job

100G QSFP28 DAC cables - experience
by Jiri Prochazka 18 Sep '17

18 Sep '17

Hi folks, I'm wondering if anyone have (either positive or negative) experience with 100G QSFP28 DAC cables? Is there anyone who is using 100G DAC in large scale and would recommend it (which means there are no issues compared to SR4 links)? I'm thinking about cables with lenght up to 1m, not more. We have had quite bad experience with 10G DAC in the past - but I do not want to be slave of the past. Thank you for your thoughts! Jiri

Hurricane Maria: U.S. Virgin Islands suspends recovery efforts
by Sean Donelan 18 Sep '17

18 Sep '17

U.S. Virigin Islands suspended hurricane recovery efforts on the islands in order to prepare for potential landfall by Hurricane Maria on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. Hurricane Maria is expected to strengthen to a major hurricane by Monday evening. Storm preparation efforts on the U.S. VI are being shifted to readying shelters and distributing as much food and water to people in advance of the storm. The U.S. VI Governor is warning people most of the temporary repairs from the last hurricane will be knocked out again when Hurricane Maria strikes the islands. Hurricane Maria will also impact other leeward islands beginning Monday, including Guadeloupe, Dominica, St. Kitts, Nevis, and Montserrat, and Martinique.
