AS3356 Lumen/Level3 contact
by Marco Moock 26 Feb '26

26 Feb '26

Hello! I noticed some issues with the AS-Set AS-GBLX, as it is missing some of their transit customers. Other ISPs filter based on that. Does anyone here know a way to contact their network operators? -- kind regards Marco

OT: Routers with highest uptime
by Markus 26 Feb '26

26 Feb '26

Hi NANOG, in the past there was the Netcraft website which showed publicly "Servers with the highest uptime". Sadly that site apparently doesn't exist anymore. I'm wondering what are the routers worldwide with the highest uptime. :) I'll make a start. 2x Juniper M7i lab routers running BGP + VRRP: --- JUNOS 12.3R2.5 built 2013-03-22 16:52:47 UTC admin@test01> show system uptime Current time: 2026-02-25 20:04:26 CET System booted: 2015-05-16 03:44:05 CEST (562w4d 17:20 ago) Protocols started: 2015-05-16 03:46:59 CEST (562w4d 17:17 ago) Last configured: 2026-02-22 18:57:12 CET (3d 01:07 ago) by admin 8:04PM up 3938 days, 17:20, 1 user, load averages: 0.25, 0.22, 0.17 --- JUNOS 12.3R2.5 built 2013-03-22 16:52:47 UTC admin@test02> show system uptime Current time: 2026-02-25 20:04:59 CET System booted: 2015-01-31 03:43:58 CET (577w4d 16:21 ago) Protocols started: 2015-01-31 03:47:48 CET (577w4d 16:17 ago) Last configured: 2026-02-19 20:41:16 CET (5d 23:23 ago) by admin 8:04PM up 4043 days, 16:21, 1 user, load averages: 0.19, 0.08, 0.07 Is that good or "like nothing"? :) Regards Markus

Backhoes surround AT&T office in Arlington VA
by Sean Donelan 26 Feb '26

26 Feb '26

The AT&T toll office in Arlington VA is surrounded by a half-dozen backhoes (2 in front, more in the side-street around the corner). Instead of the usual "call before you dig" markings, they had full crew of professional surveyors marking a grid and repair trucks from multiple telco/carriers standing by. A lot of "suit & tie" folks on-site too. Probability before I lose some service? https://www[.]donelan[.]com/pictures/

SR-MPLS traffic engineering Survey
by Dekinder Florian 24 Feb '26

24 Feb '26

Hello community, I’m Ph. D. Student at University de Liège, Belgium, and I’m conducting a survey as part of my researches on Segment Routing (SR) traffic engineering practices among network operators. We have a technique, called ArEST, allowing us to discriminate SR-MPLS and regular MPLS traffic. See https://orbi.uliege.be/bitstream/2268/337150/1/paper.pdf and our Git https://gitlab.uliege.be/segment-routing. If you are involved in the management of SR in your network, I would greatly appreciate your input. The survey should take no more than 5 minutes to complete. Link to the survey<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc0vz9hX5VF_Ii2bprgC1neZwVnaA5tGS3…> Best regards, Florian Dekinder Université de Liège

META. Performance degradation caused by uRPF or bundle issues within Meta network
by Alejandro 23 Feb '26

23 Feb '26

Meta has a problem in its clusters in Boca Raton, Miami; this is affecting the MNA content delivery network and direct content consumption. This has a regional impact in Latin America, since so far most non-cacheable content is consumed from the clusters in Florida. metafixthis.com TCP retransmissions, mediocre performance, ICMP losses [image: image.png]

Bad glue record in .NET zone
by John Palmer 23 Feb '26

23 Feb '26

Who is in charge of the gtld-servers (for .net)? They have an incorrect glue record for just one of our domains. For the other domains that use that server, the glue record is fine. Can't change it at Network Solutions - they claim the IP is correct.

OARC 46 Call for Contributions
by Willem Toorop 22 Feb '26

22 Feb '26

This workshop will be a hybrid event. Date - 16-17 May 2026 Location - Edinburgh, Scotland Times - approximately 09:00-16:00 UTC (Local time BST is UTC +1 ) Adjacent to - RIPE 92 (18 - 22 May 2026, https://ripe92.ripe.net/) Deadline for Submissions - 2026-03-06 23:59 UTC https://indico.dns-oarc.net/event/56/abstracts/ All DNS-related subjects and discussion topics are welcome although we're particularly keen to hear more about operational and security related experiences, best practices and practical advice; both for newcomers to the DNS arena and those who have been around for longer who want to learn more about new features and opportunities to improve resilience, security and privacy. (These topics we think will complement the usual high-quality data-based research submissions we always hope to receive!) If you have something interesting to share with the community that lies outside of the focus above, please don't be put off - if it's good, we'll be happy to include it. If you'd like to offer a talk, but are not quite sure what to pick, here's a non-exhaustive list of ideas: 1. *Operations & Deployment* * Configuration management, deployment processes, and interoperability experiences. * Tools, tips, and making effective use of DNS software features. 2. *Performance, Resilience & Scaling* * Provisioning, load-balancing, and planning for resilience. * DNS performance management, efficiency improvements, and metrics. * Monitoring infrastructure: log pipelines, analytics, and anomaly detection. 3. *Security, Privacy & Policy* * DoS attacks, DNS abuse, DNSSEC signing and validation. * Privacy considerations, for example: encrypted transport, qname minimization, data anonymization. * Relevant global and regional policies, legislation, and compliance. 4. *Research & Innovation* * Data-driven testing, measurement, and analysis. * New protocols, protocol extensions, and next-generation namespace management. 5. *Lessons & Learnings* * Outage experiences, recovery stories, and cautionary tales For further details please see https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc46 Willem Toorop, for the DNS-OARC Programme Committee

Router Recommendations
by Mike Hammett 21 Feb '26

21 Feb '26

I'm looking for new BGP routers. I'm currently running Mikrotik, which has served me well so far, but looking at interface speed, count, FIB size, etc. and they just aren't going to cut it. I'm looking for: • Has at least 6x 100G ports • Has a smattering of 10G/25G ports • Has meaningful packet buffers • Routes in hardware at least 2m routes combined of IPv4 and IPv6, more is better • Has reasonably low power usage, I don't need 1 kw going to a router • Is cost-effective • Used is fine I like how the MX301 looks, but it's way more than I'd want to spend, primarily because there really isn't a used market for them yet. Arista and Cisco NCS are close, but to check all of the boxes, you're up to about $15k - $20k. To get to $5k or less, you're compromising on at least two of the things I'm looking for. EdgeCore and UfiSpace may have some models that are in the $5k - $8k range, once you purchase OcNOS. I'd have no problem with the EdgeCore and UfiSpace direction, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't leaving anything out of consideration. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest-IX http://www.midwest-ix.com
