Netgear AC340U (AT&T Beam) for sms messages
by Matthew Huff 21 Jan '16

21 Jan '16

We purchased the AT&T Beam and I've configured smstools under linux and everything looks okay (no error messages). Although text messages are accepted by the modem, no texts show up. I've learned that some carrier's mobile data sim don't support text. We have the sim that came with the box we ordered from AT&T. AT&T is clueless and transferred me to netgear support. Does anyone have a suggestion where I can get a carrier/plan/sim that will work with the AC340U and text messages? I would prefer a plan rather than a pre-paid card that I have to re-fill. If you suggest a carrier, what magic words do I need to speak to have them order the right thing? ---- Matthew Huff | 1 Manhattanville Rd Director of Operations | Purchase, NY 10577 OTA Management LLC | Phone: 914-460-4039 aim: matthewbhuff | Fax: 914-694-5669

Comcast operator?
by Nick Ellermann 20 Jan '16

20 Jan '16

Is there a Comcast network opts person that could reach me off list? I have a routing question that makes zero sense to us, while trying to customer's issue at their office in Leesburg, VA where Comcast is their upstream network service. It's a simple question, looking for a simple response, but I know the rabbit hole I would go down if I asked Comcast technical support since none of them really know anything about networking and just read a script. Thanks!

RPKI Deployment Study
by Gilad, Yossi 20 Jan '16

Hi NANOG! To improve academic research on interdomain routing security by better understanding network operators' practices and concerns, we've created a short survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1XHxWfUFP1lZRF0lhyDY9wZDGU81I7--65AnzhPF6cf… Survey data will be kept anonymous and will be used to improve research on interdomain routing security. Aggregated results will also be posted to the NANOG list. We appreciate any and all responses to the survey. Thank you, Avichai Cohen (Hebrew University of Jerusalem), Yossi Gilad (Boston University and MIT), Amir Herzberg (Bar-Ilan University), Michael Schapira (Hebrew University of Jerusalem), and Haya Shulman (Fraunhofer SIT)

Broadband Router Comparisons
by Lorell Hathcock 20 Jan '16

20 Jan '16

All: Not all consumer grade customer premises equipment is created equally. But end customers sure think it is. I have retirement aged customers buying the crappiest routers and then blaming my cable network for all their connection woes. The real problem is that there were plenty of problems on the cable network to deal with, so it was impossible to tell between a problem that a customer was having with their CPE versus a real problem in my network. Much of that has been cleared up on my side now, but customers were used to blaming us for everything so that they don't even consider that their equipment could be to blame. I want to be able to point out a third party list of all (most) broadband routers that rates them by performance. Or that rates them by crappiness that I can send them to so they can look up their own router and determine if other users have had problems with that router and what can be done to fix it. So far my search has been in vain. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. Lorell Hathcock Sent from my iPad

Verizon E-Mail Contact

Hello, Don't suppose anyone has a contact for Verizon's e-mail department? Filled out a request on their whitelist page, and they only checked the last IP address in the list that I provided. Naturally, I responded back with a copy of the reject showing that their system is blocking on at least one of the IP addresses, asking them to check again.
