RPKI implementation
by Jakob Heitz (jheitz) 20 Jun '16

20 Jun '16

During the RPKI presentation there was a question about resilience of the router if the RPKI cache loses connectivity. The IOS-XR implementation allows multiple caches to be configured. When a cache loses connectivity, the entries from that cache are purged after a time interval. Default is 60 seconds and it is configurable. A lookup of a prefix that is not loaded will return not-found. 5 seconds after the latest RPKI database update, a refresh request is sent to each neighbor, provided that the neighbor either: - dropped any received route due to a policy that contains validation-state, or - received a route, the validation state of which changed. If soft reconfiguration inbound is configured, then the refresh is avoided, because the received paths are stored. Thanks, Jakob.

How many public companies can shrug off a 20% drop in EPS? I > submit: Not very many. Tough, revenues can go down as well as up. If you gouge your customers they will try harder to find ways not to give you money. If I have to do an xcon I prefer to do it in Telehouse rather than Telecity as Telecity is 100% more install and 32% more annually (Telehouse also discount for extra cores). Some USA DC are way more expensive than either of these UK DC (for now, UK DC only moved to the recurring fee model after it'd been established elsewhere) They've probably been using xcon revenue to make it look like they are still growing quickly to inflate share price. A few aquisitions can hide reality for a bit longer. Capitalism is great but it does lead to unreasonable expectations such as never ending growth xcon revenue worked for Telecity to get a nice buyout, be interesting to see how their new owners handle it. brandon

Re: IP and Optical domains?
by Gert Grammel 19 Jun '16

Glen, Here's a list of technical issues for whatever it is worth: Transport networks assume a service to be a circuit with two end-points which optionally can be protected by some transport mechanisms. Each of such services is unrelated to others. In a routed network a transport service corresponds to a link adjacency between routers. To design a resilient router network it is desired that links between different pairs of routers are unrelated to each other and don't fail together (are shared-risk-link-group diverse). Hence links are related in being unrelated. Now let's start: 1) transport folks don't disclose their physical topology: no chance to design a reliably resilient network on top. Workaround: ask for protected transport links. This increased availability comes with the cost of duplicating transport resources. Actually it is often more than double since the protecting circuit is a bit longer than the protected one. 2) transport folks do disclose the physical topology including nodes. Considering those nodes as single point of failure, it requires more BW available in Routers to cover failures and tricky configuration. 3) alternatively you could ask to install more transport equipment to avoid SPOF which obviously comes with a price tag too 4) once settled, the Transport network may grow. This means that circuits once in a while get moved to other resources. Typically the result of a transport network re-planning, a protection action or simply a forgotten reversion after a maintenance event. Consequently, whatever was achieved in 2) or 3) may just become void over time. There are basically two ways to deal with the complexity: 1) create an information exchange that let networking and transport controllers take informed decisions: You may want to look at https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-teas-interconnected-te-info-exc… 2) forget about switching anything in Transport, nail the structure down in config and move on. You may like then https://meetings.ripe.net/see3/files/Ian_Farrer-The_Terastream_Native_IPv6_… If you now think transport is all the same, irrespective of technology, then I suggest to take another breath: 1) since multiplexing lambdas is passive, Operators often do not count WDM or ROADM nodes as SPOF. Note: multiplexing is indeed passive but followed by Amplifiers which are not. 2) in SONET one could connect any vendor's node to everyone else's e.g. With OC48. This is not true in DWDM. While the Ethernet connecting to a wavelength is a standard, the wavelength itself is proprietary and linked to the component vendor of the transceiver. Transponders are in fact acting as adaptor plugs between standard and proprietary transport. As a result, if you find a left-over Gen-1 transponder and want to hook it up to a Gen-3 transponder of the same system vendor - it may not work because the component supplier changed. It also means you can't simply re-structure a DWDM network in an on-demand manner if such effects are present. I leave it up to you to draw your own conclusions. Gert Sent from my Apple ][)

Not that I don't like free cross connects (they're the bees knees, in fact), but at the end of the day, an existing colo operator is not going to go from paid->free cross connects without extracting that pound of flesh (read: sweet sweet 100% pure margin) from somewhere else. Your space and/or power prices will go up to backfill that lost profit. That said, those of us that buy a decent amount of colo prefer to trade in the value of the asset leased/purchased - space & power - as we have real world indexes to tie the underlying cost to for negotiation purposes. And as colo operators get freaked out over margin compression on the impending 10->100G conversion (which is happening exponentially faster than 100->1G & 1G->10G) they'll need to move those levers of spend around regardless. -Dave

AT&T Austin multiple 10Gs hard down, anyone seeing issues as well?
by Nick Crocker 17 Jun '16

17 Jun '16

Looking at some sites and hearing chatter of a pretty wide scale AT&T outage in the Austin and surrounding areas. I have two 10Gs one fed out of Pflugerville, TX and one out of Austin, TX with PE's in Austin, TX and San Antonio, TX. Both dropped at the same time and are on diverse fiber routes and entrance facilities with power and equipment verified. Regards, Nick

1GE L3 aggregation
by Saku Ytti 17 Jun '16

17 Jun '16

Hey, I've been bit poking around trying to find reasonable option for 1GE L3 full BGP table aggregator. It seems vendors are mostly pushing Satellite/Fusion for this application. I don't really like the added complexity and tight coupling Satellite/Fusion forces me. I'd prefer standards based routing redundancy to reduce impact of defects. ASR9001 and MX104 are not an options, due to control-plane scale. New boxes in vendor pipeline are completely ignoring 1GE. I've casually talked with other people, and it seems I'm not really alone here. My dream box would be 96xSFP + 2xQSFP28, with pretty much full edge features (BGP, LDP, ISIS, +1M FIB, +5M RIB, per-interface VLANs, ipfix or sflow, at least per-port QoS with shaper, martini pseudowires). With tinfoil hat tightly fit on my head, I wonder why vendors are ignoring 1GE? Are business cases entirely driven now by Amazon, Google, Facebook and the likes? Are SP volumes so insignificant in comparison it does not make sense to produce boxes for them? Heck even 10GE is starting to become problematic, if your application is anything else than DC, because you can't choose arbitrary optics. -- ++ytti
