We have just received alert from bgpmon that AS58587 Fiber @ Home Limited has hijacked most of our (AS43996) prefixes and Hurricane Electric gladly accepted them. Anybody see their prefixes hijacked as well? -- Grzegorz Janoszka

ExaBGP and BIRD clue in the house?
by Randy 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

Really, it's got to be something dead stupid. Hoping to borrow 5 minutes of someone's time. Replies on or off list are fine. I've reduced it to a simple config: BIRD: protocol bgp { description "ExaBGP-local"; local as 12345; allow local as 1; neighbor 10.0.0.2 as 12345; next hop keep; start delay time 5; import all; export all; } EXABGP: group gixlg { hold-time 180; local-as 12345; router-id 10.0.0.2; family { ipv4 unicast; } neighbor 10.0.0.1 { router-id 10.0.0.2; local-address 10.0.0.2; peer-as 12345; description "Bird-local"; group-updates; } static { route 1.2.3.4/32 next-hop 4.3.2.1; } } Everything comes up. But bird has no routes. bird> sh protocols name proto table state since info bgp1 BGP master up 12:06:00 Established bird> show route all bird> -- ~Randy

RE: [outages] CenturyLink fiber cut between Modesto, CA and San Jose, CA this AM.. Start time 4:26AM PST
by Keith Medcalf 02 Jul '15

Have they asked No-Such-Agency? No-Such-Agency typically taps communication lines by "back-hoe accident" of some sort on the path they are interested in tapping. That way they can install a tap "over yonder" while the victim telecom is attempting to repair the original damage. I guess this time is taking longer than expected so they FBI has been recruited to prevent the victim from completing repairs to quickly. Then again, maybe my tinfoil hat is too tight. > -----Original Message----- > From: Outages [mailto:outages-bounces@outages.org] On Behalf Of Hugo > Slabbert via Outages > Sent: Tuesday, 30 June, 2015 16:57 > To: Peter Kranz via Outages; Peter Kranz > Subject: Re: [outages] CenturyLink fiber cut between Modesto, CA and San > Jose, CA this AM..

in-cabinet PDU safety regs?
by William Herrin 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

Hi Folks, Do you know of any regulations, standards or publications covering the safe installation and use of the little 1U and 2U PDUs in rack cabinets? My google fu is failing me. All I've found is OSHA 1926.403(i)(1)(i) (https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=STANDARDS&p_…) and I'm not 100% sure it applies.

suggestion for DSCP codepoint for "less than best effort" (scavanger class) traffic
by Mikael Abrahamsson 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

Hi, in the IETF transport area there are discussions on DSCP interconnection between networks. It's quite common that operators clear (bleach) the DSCP codepoints when receiving packets from other operators, turning everything into BE (best effort) traffic. Historically CS1 has been proposed as less-than-best-effort (for instance bittorrent traffic), but my opinion is that this is ill suited as I think it's not incrementally deployable. Some networks might use CS1 as something that has higher priority and it would be hard for them to change this incrementally. I have proposed a DSCP codepoint that I believe is incrementally deployable and that is 000010, which I think is deployable because it maps to CS0, PRECEDENCE 0, so any kind of equipment that today takes these bits and imposes it into 802.1p, MPLS TC (former EXP) etc, will just map this to regular BE. If explicitly configured, one can match on 000010 and put this in a different queue, for instance that doesn't have much bandwidth guarantees at all. Since this proposal just comes from my personal experience with equipment in the MPLS/L2/IP world, I'd like to hear wider view/opinion on this and I'll bring it to the TSVWG at the upcoming IETF in Prague July 20-25. It would be great if there could be an operational document as well, giving recommendations on how to configure the above, and it would be great if it could be done with lots of operator input into the matter. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2015 00:32:40 +0000 From: "Black, David" <david.black(a)emc.com> To: "Ruediger.Geib(a)telekom.de" <Ruediger.Geib(a)telekom.de>, "swmike(a)swm.pp.se" <swmike(a)swm.pp.se> Cc: "tsvwg(a)ietf.org" <tsvwg(a)ietf.org> Subject: RE: [tsvwg] draft diffserv-intercon: Handling of a scavenger class / CS1 <WG chair hat OFF> > - work on a scavenger class standard needs to be done in a > separate draft. And here's what that draft might encompass ... Beyond that, I'd support a (hopefully short) draft that - updates RFC 3662 to change the recommended DSCP for the LE PHB from CS1 to 000010, - recognizes and allows for continued use of CS1 where deployed, and - updates other RFCs (e.g., 4592, 5127) accordingly as needed. As Brian pointed out, this would need to be a standards track draft with a downref to RFC 3662 in order to allocate that DSCP. Writing the draft is straightforward by comparison to figuring out whether this is what we should do, as indicated by the other messages in this thread on operator/operational considerations. This item is on the draft tsvwg agenda for Prague as a discussion topic - I plan to bring slides and only write the -00 draft after I've survived that discussion ;-). </WG chair hat OFF> Thanks, --David > -----Original Message----- > From: tsvwg [mailto:tsvwg-bounces@ietf.org] On Behalf Of > Ruediger.Geib(a)telekom.de > Sent: Monday, June 29, 2015 4:51 AM > To: swmike(a)swm.pp.se > Cc: tsvwg(a)ietf.org > Subject: Re: [tsvwg] draft diffserv-intercon: Handling of a scavenger class / > CS1 > > Hi Mikael, > > ok, understood, I'm relaxed. > > The relation of Diffserv intercon to scavenger is > > - if there is a scavenger class, how should Diffserv intercon handle it > (will add text about a 000 xx0 DSCP)?

Inexpensive software bgp router that supports route tags?
by David H 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone can recommend a software (preferable), or hardware-based router with an API, that supports BGP with tags on advertised routes? I want to use it for a RTBH feed and having it in software would make certain things easier to automate. I tried Quagga/Zebra but it doesn't support tags. I see Mikrotik hardware routers have an API, but I can't tell if the API supports adding BGP networks, so I need to investigate that further. I can go hardware if I have to, with some ssh/expect scripts, but thought there may be other options that are easier. Thanks, David
