PeeringDB survey results and Board election plan
by Job Snijders 23 Oct '15

23 Oct '15

Ohai NANOG! Many of you are probably familiar with "PeeringDB", one of the most awesome resources for interconnection. :-) What some of you might not realise, is that PeeringDB is evolving from a bunch of php scripts into a real organisation with a board and appropiate legal registrations! And as PeeringDB stakeholder you can actually have say in how things are run! Please review Chris Caputo's message below and subscribe yourself to the "pdb-gov" mailing list to stay informed about PeeringDB's governance. Being subscribed to the pdb-gov mailing list (in essence) means you are a 'member' and this will grant your organisation one vote in the upcoming elections. Kind regards, Job ----- Forwarded message from Chris Caputo <secretary(a)peeringdb.com> ----- Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2015 18:49:12 +0000 (UTC) From: Chris Caputo <secretary(a)peeringdb.com> To: pdb-gov(a)lists.peeringdb.com Subject: [PDB-gov] PeeringDB survey results and Board election plan Results of the survey which ended August 15th, along with anonymous comments are up at: https://www.caputo.com/pdb/20150800_PDB_Survey_results.pdf 91 responses, of which 89 voted for the main question: PeeringDB functions should be performed by: - 35 votes, 39.33%: "An independent 501(C)(6) (Not for profit) PeeringDB, with it's own elected board and members" - 14 votes, 15.73%: "The existing global standards body OpenIX 501(C)(6) (Not for profit)" - 10 votes, 11.24%: "The existing regional organization NANOG 501(C)(3) (Not for profit)" - 30 votes, 33.71%: "I don't care just as long as PeeringDB keeps working" That looks like a clear vote for independence, given that the number for independence is 45% more than the combined votes for OpenIX and NANOG. Based on this, we are going to continue working toward becoming an independent non-profit corporation. In the interest of broad support, this is going to be done with transparency and inclusion using the pdb-gov mailing list. The plan: - If you want to participate in the process, please subscribe to the pdb-gov "governance" mailing list with your PeeringDB account email. http://lists.peeringdb.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pdb-gov - Further emails will be sent to pdb-gov mailing list and posted to http://gov.peeringdb.com/ as appropriate. - pdb-gov is where the draft organizational documents will be discussed and refined. These draft documents are up at: https://www.caputo.com/pdb/ - There will be elections for the initial Board of Directors. Candidacies along with max 300 word statements should be submitted to secretary(a)peeringdb.com prior to November 15th. Anyone can run for election to the initial Board. - The interim Secretary (tentatively Chris Caputo) will send out ballots to pdb-gov on November 15th, with voting to happen through November 30th. The org docs currently proscribe one ballot per member organization. The interim Secretary will break ties through public random means. The Secretary will not be eligible for election to the initial Board. - The initial Board will decide on officers, per the tentative Bylaws. The draft documents will then be signed and filed. _______________________________________________ Pdb-gov mailing list Pdb-gov(a)lists.peeringdb.com http://lists.peeringdb.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pdb-gov ----- End forwarded message -----

IPv6 Irony.
by Donn Lasher 23 Oct '15

23 Oct '15

Having just returned from NANOG65/ARIN36, and hearing about how far IPv6 has come.. I find my experience with <large US-based ISP> support today Ironic. Oh wait.. Hi, my name is Donn, and I’m speaking for… myself. Irony is a cable provider, one of the largest, and earliest adopters of IPv6, having ZERO IPv6 support available via phone, chat, or email. And being pointed, by all of those contact methods, to a single website. A static website. In 2015, when IPv4 is officially exhausted. :sigh:

Current IPv4 Options
by Clay Curtis 22 Oct '15

22 Oct '15

I work for a VAR and we are starting to have customers come to us to help with internet redundancy projects and they are unable to get address space from ARIN. What are the viable options here? I have read about secondary markets, transfers, auction sites, leasing, etc. Can NANOG point me in the right direction as to the most effective way to get v4 space right now in the US? And before we get into the whole IPv6 discussion, yes, yes, we are discussing this with customers as well. That being said, they still need the IPv4 space in the near-term. Thanks all, Clay Curtis

sfp "computer"?
by Baldur Norddahl 21 Oct '15

21 Oct '15

Hi Does anyone make a SFP with a system on chip "computer" that you can run a small embedded linux on? I am sure it can be done because I have a "GPON stick" which is basically a ONU with a small embedded Linux all on a SFP module. Does get fairly hot however. My application is to run some small things that I feel is missing in my switches/routers. Plug in this imaginary "SFP computer" to enhance the switch with a small Linux. The SFP slot provides both networking and power to the device. Regards, Baldur

Short (!) survey about internet interconnection
by Uta Meier-Hahn 21 Oct '15

21 Oct '15

Dear networkers in North America, Internet interconnection is largely unregulated. However, in some countries, public regulation has emerged – be it through transparency rules, mandatory peering or licensing terms. Currently, we lack an overview about where regulation exists and we know little about how it affects internet connectivity on a global scale. To start filling this information gap, I have set up a short survey for network engineers, peering coordinators and network-savvy legal staffers. The goal is to crowdsource an initial overview about formal regulation of internet interconnection around the world. Please participate! It takes no more than 10 minutes and will serve the community: http://limesurvey.hiig.de/index.php/675663?lang=en <http://limesurvey.hiig.de/index.php/675663?lang=en> I will publish the results under a Creative Commons license. Also, please consider helping by forwarding the link to fellow interconnection professionals - think of your Facebook or LinkedIn groups, of chat channels and mailing lists. The more regional diversity, the better. Thank you!

IMIX or similiar near-user-load packet generator
by Stanislaw Datskevich 21 Oct '15

21 Oct '15

Hi all. Is there any opensource packet generator which can simulate a load closest to real users? Usually I use iperf, but it can simply generate huge load.

ipv6 connectivity bugs
by Mike 20 Oct '15

20 Oct '15

Hello, I have a 7201 and an ASR1000 and they share a link and run ipv4 and bgp over it no problem. I am experimenting and have now added some static ipv6 configuration, and I can't seem to ping across the link. The issue looks like one side us advertising prefixes correctly and the other isn't. Here's my interface configs: ASR1000: interface TenGigabitEthernet0/1/0.110025 encapsulation dot1Q 25 second-dot1q 11 ip address x.x.x.1 255.255.255.248 ipv6 address xxxx:yyyy::1:1/126 end 7201: interface GigabitEthernet0/0.110025 encapsulation dot1Q 25 second-dot1q 11 ip address x.x.x.2 255.255.255.248 ipv6 address xxxx:yyyy::1:2/126 end When I try pinging 7201 from the asr1000, no response. I do see a neighbor entry on the asr1000: sh ipv6 neighbors IPv6 Address Age Link-layer Addr State Interface xxxx:yyyy::1:2 0 xxxx.yyyy.8e1b REACH Te0/1/0.110025 FE80::xxxx:yyyy:FE49:8E1B 0 xxxx.yyyy.8e1b REACH Te0/1/0.110025 On the 7201 however, there seems to only be the link local address neighbor entry for the asr1000: sh ipv6 neighbors IPv6 Address Age Link-layer Addr State Interface FE80::xxxx:yyyy:FE2D:D190 0 xxxx.yyyy.d190 STALE Gi0/0.110025 Can anyone spot what I am doing wrong?

Static IPs
by Joel Maslak 20 Oct '15

20 Oct '15

A helpful hint from a local broadband provider (I'm trying to wade through broadband options at home): "If your business is online, then you should have an IP address." I do find that helps. (in fairness, they are talking about static IPs, but it kind of fits with the rest of their marketing which says their highest speed plans include the advantage of "most reliable Wifi" when compared to their lower speed plans)
