10gig pricing with Verizon crazy?
by David Hubbard 17 Mar '16

17 Mar '16

Curious if anyone has had similar experience; looking for a 10gig transit circuit at a colo, contacted VZ as they’re on net in the facility, quoted me an astronomical amount at 10-20x going rates these days. I’m curious if I just happened across a bad rep and should dig further, or that’s par for the course? Rep was comfortable talking about BGP, v4/v6, etc. so I felt like I was talking to the right person until I saw the price lol. Thanks, David

Two of these prefixes I see via direct peering with Google and, alternatively, via Cogent through Zayo transit.

remote serial console (IP to Serial)
by greg whynott 16 Mar '16

16 Mar '16

Recently I have taking over the responsibility of managing about 18 remote routers and firewalls. None of these have a console port for 'out of band' access accessible today. Most sites has available IPs between the ISP and us (typically a /29) or a backup DSL connection available for use. I'd like to purchase a IP to Serial port device I can use for each location in the event I lock myself out. The requirement would be an Ethernet port, a serial port, and SSH. Anyone have any recommendations on something like this? thanks much, greg

Looking to see what others are using out there as an alternative to a Cisco ME3600X? Also, what other vendors out there are playing in this space? Need a full MPLS stack.

Juniper MX Sizing
by Graham Johnston 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

I am wondering if anyone can provide their real world experience about sizing Juniper MX routers as it relates to BGP. I am needing a device that has a mix of layer 2 and 3 features, including MPLS, that will have a very low port count requirement that will primarily be used at a remote POP site to connect to the local IX as well as one or two full route transit providers. The MX104 has what I need from a physical standpoint and a data plane standpoint, as well as power consumption figures. My only concern is whether the REs have enough horsepower to churn through the convergence calculations at a rate that operators in this situation would find acceptable. I realize that 'acceptable' is a moving target so I would happily accept feedback from people using them as to how long it takes and their happiness with the product. For those of you that deem the MX104 unacceptable in this kind of role and moved up to the MX240, what RE did you elect to use? Thanks, Graham Johnston Network Planner Westman Communications Group 204.717.2829 johnstong(a)westmancom.com<mailto:johnstong@westmancom.com> P think green; don't print this email.

In order to avoid significant disruption, they haven’t terminated their IPv4 transit contracts, but it certainly makes sense that they would not be pursuing IPv6 transit contracts. Understandable, but sort of moot if interconnect ports are dual-stack and there are no discrete charges for IPv4 or IPv6. Of course, if removal of IPv6 traffic saves bandwidth and operational costs for Google interconnect with Cogent, then that makes sense to do. Mark.

L-Root IPv6 address renumbering
by David Soltero 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

This is advance notice that there is a scheduled change to the IPv6 addresses in the Root Zone for the L root-server, also known as L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET, which is administered by the ICANN. The current IP addresses for the L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET service are: 199.7.83.42 2001:500:3::42 As of March 23, 2016, the new IP addresses for the L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET service will be: 199.7.83.42 2001:500:9f::42 The change will be implemented on the root zone on March 23, 2016 2100UTC, however the new address is already operational. We encourage DNS infrastructure operators to update their DNS resolvers root "hints” file. New hints files will be available at the following URLs once the change has been formally executed on March 23, 2016: * http://www.internic.net/domain/named.root * http://www.internic.net/domain/named.cache
