Hi Christian, Discontinuous mask for IPv6 was supported in IOS-XR in release 5.2.2.

Is anyone else experiencing issues connecting to equipment hosted at Coloblox in Atlanta? -- Raleigh Apple JP Technologies office: 770/831-1036x105 “A dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot.” --Robert Heinlein

The volunteers on the committee are responsible to develop and select content to program each of the three yearly NANOG conferences and other events. The Program Committee is a highly skilled, dedicated and diverse team of people who strive to improve the NANOG organization and make our industry, as a whole, better. Specific committee member responsibilities are listed here <https://www.nanog.org/governance/pgm/member_responsibilities> and appointments are to 2 year terms, except when appointed to complete a retiring members term. Committee nominations will close at 9:00 PM ET on Tuesday, February 19, 2019. The NANOG Board of Directors will make appointments on February 20, 2019. Emails detailing the selection results will be sent to candidates shortly thereafter, and a full announcement will be sent to the nanog-announce distribution list during the following week. Volunteer participation by members on NANOG committees is part of the essential fabric of the NANOG organization. PC members have developed new NANOG programs such as the Hackathon, proposed changes such as providing a meeting maker tool and having a forum to discuss the experiences of women in our industry, and meeting after meeting develop unique programs showcasing the state of Network Operations. Please consider running for the Program Committee if you are passionate about NANOG and can commit to participating! If you know someone that you believe would be interested, please nominate them. The nomination form <https://www.nanog.org/elections/2018/PCnominationform> accepts either self or 3rd party nominations. Myself and the other board members are available to discuss this opportunity, so do not hesitate to reach out to us if you are interested and want to learn more. As always, our dedicated professional staff stands ready to answer your questions at operations(a)nanog.org. Finally, I’d like to extend my best wishes to each of you for a happy and healthy 2019.

Your opinion on network analysis in the presence of uncertain events
by Vanbever Laurent 17 Jan '19

17 Jan '19

Hi NANOG, Networks evolve in uncertain environments. Links and devices randomly fail; external BGP announcements unpredictably appear/disappear leading to unforeseen traffic shifts; traffic demands vary, etc. Reasoning about network behaviors under such uncertainties is hard and yet essential to ensure Service Level Agreements. We're reaching out to the NANOG community as we (researchers) are trying to better understand the practical requirements behind "probabilistic" network reasoning. Some of our questions include: Are uncertain behaviors problematic? Do you care about such things at all? Are you already using tools to ensure the compliance of your network design under uncertainty? Are there any good? We designed a short anonymous survey to collect operators answers. It is composed of 14 optional questions, most of which (13/14) are closed-ended. It should take less than 10 minutes to complete. We expect the findings to help the research community in designing more powerful network analysis tools. Among others, we intend to present the aggregate results in a scientific article later this year. It would be *terrific* if you could help us out! Survey URL: https://goo.gl/forms/HdYNp3DkKkeEcexs2 Thanks much! Laurent Vanbever, ETH Zürich PS: It goes without saying that we would also be extremely grateful if you could forward this email to any operator you know and who may not read NANOG.

Re: Announcing Peering-LAN prefixes to customers

For more on the historical record, about 10 years after Randy, and from my own experience, this was briefly touched on this in a lightning talk at NANOG 41, "Explorations in the Public Peering Address Space". As part of a project looking at peering discovery, in the Q&A Louie Lee as I recall provided a partial answer to the announcement question raised.

Re: Network Speed Testing and Monitoring Platform
by rapier 16 Jan '19

16 Jan '19

Hello all, A colleague of mine pointed out this conversation to me. I'm not sure this is going to be the best solution to your problem but it may be helpful in some instances or for other people. At PSC we also have to deal with customers complaining of speed issues. Generally speaking this is all on the customer end but diagnosing these issues remotely, especially when people have limited access or skills, is huge time sink. It's compounded by the fact that many times we're trying to work over a number of different operating systems configurations and so forth. In order to cut down on that we created a service called TestRig2.0. In short, it dynamically generates an bootable ISO that automatically runs the host system through a number of network performance tests, packages the results, and send them back the network engineers via scp. The tests are run against the perfSonar infrastructure*. The reason why we use a bootable ISO is because we want to make sure that the tests are being conducted under a known good OS environment. Additionally, we can also limit the number of tests the users can run - either by restricting them to specific time frame (say 7 days) or a total number of runs. After that the ISO will no longer conduct the tests. If anyone is interested please take a look at https://testrig.psc.edu/ for more information. If you are interested in using the service let me know. Setting up an account is pretty easy but I'd like to work with people in the initial process. Thanks, Chris Rapier * Not all commodity users will have access to all of the perfSonar nodes so this is a part where some extra work might be required on the part of the engineer.

Service Provider NetFlow Collectors
by Erik Sundberg 16 Jan '19

16 Jan '19

Hi Nanog.... We are looking at replacing our Netflow collector. I am wonder what other service providers are using to collect netflow data off their Core and Edge Routers. Pros/Cons... What to watch out for any info would help. We are mainly looking to analyze the netflow data. Bonus if it does ddos detection and mitigation. We are looking at ManageEngine Netflow Analyzer PRTG Plixer - Scrutinizer PeakFlow Kentik Solarwinds NTA Thanks in advance...
