RFC 8195 "Use of Large Communities"
by Job Snijders 01 Jul '17

01 Jul '17

Dear all, RFC 8195 "Use of BGP Large Communities" was just now published: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8195 RFC 8195 presents examples and inspiration for the operational application of Large Communities. The document suggests logical categories of Large Communities and demonstrates an orderly manner of organizing community values within those categories to achieve typical goals in routing policy. Any network or route server operator can consider using the concepts presented as the basis for their own Large Communities repertoire. RFC 8195 is meant as a companion document in the same way that RFC 1998 provided a concrete real-world application for RFC1997 BGP Communities. The RFC draws on the experience of operator communities such as NANOG and NLNOG. A ton of open source implementations [1] with Large support are already available. And with more traditional vendors like IOS XR, Junos, Arista & Nokia having releases around the corner, I hope this will be useful when planning your Large Communities deployment later this year. Kind regards, Job [1]: http://largebgpcommunities.net/implementations/

Fwd: Bonus support for Action for Children
by Colin Johnston 30 Jun '17

30 Jun '17

excuse the subject, relevant as IT techies like this. > > Bonus support for Action for Children > A BT senior manager is donating half of his bonus to Action for Children’s Byte Night North West event and encouraging others to do the same. > Colin Johnston is an IT technical manager who has supported Action for Children for several years. This year he and hundreds of other executives will be sleeping out for a night on 6 October as part of the charity’s annual Byte Night event. As well as raising money by taking part in this, Colin has decided to also donate 50% of his bonus payment (£2,482.00 / 2 = £1241(donation amount)) this year to Action for Children. > Colin said, “Being involved for a while with Action for Children, I’ve got to know about the amazing work they do with children and young people and families. I’m happy to be in a position where I can help support their services by fundraising and donating. If people can’t take part in Byte Night then they can still help out by donating what they can – if other executives decided to also give half of their bonus to Action for Children, it would be a simple but really effective way of helping young people to have a brighter future.” > > Byte Night is Action for Children's biggest annual fundraiser; a national ‘sleep-out’ event. Each year, hundreds of like-minded people from the technology and business arena give up their beds for one night to help change the lives of vulnerable young people. It all began in 1998 when 30 individuals slept out in London and raised £35,000. Since then Byte Night has grown to 10 UK locations and over 1,200 people slept out in 2016. Byte Night is one of the UK’s top 17 mass participation charity events and is the largest charity sleep-out having raised over £9.6 million since the first event. Byte Night is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and its fifth year in the North West. > Colin is a board member of the North West Byte Night event. > BT Volunteering is a very worthwhile endeavour. > > See mydonate page linked to Byte Night https://mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/colinjohnston1 <https://mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/colinjohnston1> > > For more information go to www.bytenight.org.uk <http://www.bytenight.org.uk/> or to donate Text Byte17 and the amount to 70070. > > Colin > > Colin Johnston <https://myprofile.bt.com/Person.aspx?accountname=IUSER%5C600969844> > IT Support Senior Professional, Core IT Infrastructure > BT Technology Service & Operations <https://intra.bt.com/bt/tso/Pages/index.aspx> | Tel: 01313001324 <tel:01313001324> | MyProfile <https://myprofile.bt.com/Person.aspx?accountname=IUSER%5C600969844> | colin.johnstone(a)bt.com <mailto:colin.johnstone@bt.com> | http://fixit.bt.com/ <http://fixit.bt.com/> > > BT Group plc Registered office: 81 Newgate Street London EC1A 7AJ.

Point 2 point IPs between ASes
by Krunal Shah 30 Jun '17

30 Jun '17

Hello, What subnet mask you are people using for point to point IPs between two ASes? Specially with IPv6, We have a transit provider who wants us to use /64 which does not make sense for this purpose. isn’t it recommended to use /127 as per RFC 6164 like /30 and /31 are common for IPv4. I was thinking, if someone is using RFC7404 for point to point IP between two ASes and establish BGP over link local addresses. This way you have your own IP space on your router and transit provider does not have to allocate IP space for point to point interface between two ASes. In traceroutes you would see only loopback IP address with GUA assigned from your allocated routable address space. Remotely DDoS to this link isn’t possible this way. Thoughts?

Re: Long AS Path
by Jakob Heitz (jheitz) 27 Jun '17

27 Jun '17

The reason that a private ASN in the public routing table is an error is that the AS Path is used to prevent loops. You may have private AS 65000 in your organization and I may have another private AS 65000 in my organization. If my ASN 65000 is in the AS path of a route sent to you, then your AS 65000 will drop it, thinking it were looping back. BTW, this is different from a confederation member AS.

It's intrinsic in the term "private ASN". A private ASN in the public routing table is a clear error, so filtering them is reasonable.

Unlike filtering of RFC1918 and the like a private ASN in the path isn't likely to leak RFC1918 like traffic, yet I believe several major ISPs have done just that. This topic was discussed ~1 year ago on NANOG. >> >> I do filter private ASNs but have not yet filtered long AS paths. Before I did it I had to contact a major CDN because I would have dropped their route, in the end costing me money (choosing transit vs peering).
