Is there a DNS lookup, traceroute, ping and HTTP GET as a service?
by Kurt Kraut 19 Nov '15

19 Nov '15

Hi, I'm evaluating different datacenters and vendors accross the globe and it isn't worthy to perform tests like DNS, traceroute, ping and HTTP GET from my office. I need to be able to perform this tests remotely, from multiple endpoints. The only company I know allow such thing is ThousandEyes, but it is brutally and inexplicably expensive and doesn't fit perfectly to what I'm looking for. It has a paradigm I'm willing to monitor 24x7 specific targets from multiple points of view. I need to make tests on demand, on different targets and URLs. Does anyone know such service, DNS lookup, traceroute, ping and HTTP GET as a service from multiple nodes geographically spread? Thanks in advance, Kurt Kraut

folks, we are seeking additional Ark vantage points ( http://www.caida.org/projects/ark/ ) to support a variety of projects but especially motivated by our NSF-funded project to map and measure interconnection in the Internet: http://www.caida.org/funding/nets-congestion/ (recent paper describing the current method: http://www.caida.org/publications/papers/2015/measuring_interdomain_congest… ) we are looking to build as complete a map as we can of the interconnections between U.S. residential broadband access providers and their neighbors. so our priority is vantage points in the homes of U.S. access providers (especially high b/w access providers). but if you are interested in hosting an Ark node anywhere, please let me or monitor-info(a)caida.org know where/when. we will send a raspberry pi monitor out to you stat. some faq info on hosting a monitor: http://www.caida.org/projects/ark/siteinfo.xml and the infrastructure project itself: http://www.caida.org/projects/ark/ thanks very much, k

Dyn Internet Intelligence (Formerly, Renesys) vs Telegeography's Global Bandwidth Research Service
by Arqam Gadit 17 Nov '15

17 Nov '15

Hello guys, Does anyone here have any experience with Dyn's Internet Intelligence or Telegeography's Global Bandwidth Research Service? I am looking to use them to answer two questions: 1. Which is best possible path available, given the current internet infrastructure, from point A to B in terms of latency and jitter? 2. Which careers should I talk to get those paths? Just wanted to know if anyone here has any experience with them or if there are some other tools that I should be looking into before making the purchase. Regards, Arqam

Advance notice - H-root address change on December 1, 2015
by Kash, Howard M CIV USARMY RDECOM ARL (US) 17 Nov '15

17 Nov '15

This is advance notice that there is a scheduled change to the IP addresses for one of the authorities listed for the DNS root zone and the .ARPA TLD. The change is to H.ROOT-SERVERS.NET, which is administered by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory. The new IPv4 address for this authority is 198.97.190.53. The new IPv6 address for the authority is 2001:500:1::53. This change is anticipated to be implemented in the root zone on 1 December 2015, however the new addresses are operational now. They will replace the previous IP addresses of 128.63.2.53 and 2001:500:1::803f:235 (also previously known as AOS.BRL.MIL and AOS.ARL.ARMY.MIL) We encourage operators of DNS infrastructure to update any references to the old IP addresses and replace them with the new addresses. In particular, many DNS resolvers have a DNS root "hints" file. This should be updated with the new IP addresses. New hints files will be available at the following URLs once the change has been formally executed on December 1: http://www.internic.net/domain/named.root http://www.internic.net/domain/named.cache The old IPv4 address will continue to work for six months after the transition (until 1 June 2016), at which point it will be retired from service. The address will remain under the control of the Army Research Laboratory, never to be used again for DNS service. The old IPv6 address will continue to work indefinitely, but may ultimately be retired from service. Simultaneous to the retirement of the old address on June 1, 2016, the ASN for H-root will change from 13 to 1508. You can monitor the transition of queries to the new addresses at the following URL: http://h.root-servers.org/old_vs_new.html -- Howard Kash U.S. Army Research Laboratory

Time Waner Cable IPv6 help needed
by Yang Yu 16 Nov '15

16 Nov '15

Last month after a service upgrade/reprovisioning I am no longer getting an IPv6 prefix. Now all I see are RAs and never a response to DHCPv6 solicit. I have tried different support channels but no luck getting an answer. >From what I gathered IPv6 is available in my market and no known outages. Can someone please ping me offline? Very much appreciated Yang
