PCH Peering Paper
by Patrick W. Gilmore 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

I quoted a PCH peering paper at the Peering Track. (Not violating rules, talking about myself.) The paper is: https://www.pch.net/resources/Papers/peering-survey/PCH-Peering-Survey-2011… I said “99.97%” of all peering sessions have nothing behind them more than a “handshake” or an email. It seems I was in error. Mea Culpa. The number in the paper, on page one is, 99.52%. Hopefully everyone will read the paper, and perhaps help create better data. -- TTFN, patrick

Are there any mailing lists out there dedicated for cable/MSO type operators?

Yes, I looked at CASA, but their small unit is the C1G, which is an 8x8 max DOCSIS 3.0 unit. Plus they want a high price point, almost quadruple what a 16X4 Pico Digital or Harmonic's unit cost. Not seeing the value or specs there to justify it. On Tue, Feb 9, 2016 at 2:26 PM, Steven Shalita <sshalita(a)comcast.net> wrote: > Have you looked at Casa Systems?

UDP Amplification DDoS - Help!
by Mitch Dyer 09 Feb '16

09 Feb '16

Hello, Hoping someone can point me in the right direction here, even just confirming my suspicions would be incredibly helpful. A little bit of background: I have a customer I'm working with that is downstream of a 1Gb link that is experiencing multiple DDoS attacks on a daily basis. Through several captures I've seen what appear to be a mixture of SSDP and DNS amplification attacks (though not at the same time). The attack itself seems to target the PAT address associated with a specific site, if we change the PAT address for the site, the attack targets the new address at the next occurance. We've tried setting up captures and logging inside the network to determine if the SSDP/DNS request originate within the network but that does not appear to be the case. We've reached out for some assistance from the upstream carrier but they've only been able to enforce a 24-hour block. I'm hoping someone with some experience on this topic would be able to shed some light on a better way to attack this or would be willing to confirm that we are simply SOL without prolonged assistance from the upstream carrier. Thanks in advance for any insight. Mitch

Arista optics
by Alex Forster 07 Feb '16

07 Feb '16

Hi everyone! I'm trying to get buy-in to go with Arista for some new infrastructure, but the Arista optics just aren't in the ballpark for us at "proof-of-concept" volume. In Cisco-land, we've had great success using Finisar optics, and they've been an easy "sell" to management since many Cisco optics are just rebranded Finisar's. The relevant Arista optics I'm looking at are QSFP-100G-LR4 and SFP-10G-LR. Does anybody know what supplier(s) manufacture these optics for Arista? Alternatively, does anyone have any experience using third-party comparable optics (especially the 100G) in the battlefield? Since optics sales are pretty cut-throat, I do ask that you disclose if you have a financial interest in any of your suggestions. Thanks! Alex Forster
