LDP flaps specifically present on ACX Juniper routers (ACX4000 and ACX1100)
by joel ahumuza 22 Apr '16

22 Apr '16

Hi All, We are experiencing an issue with ACX routers running on 12.3X54-D20.7 where the LDP sessions are continuously flapping, the logs indicate the following; Apr 21 03:36:31 hostname rpd[2299]: RPD_LDP_SESSIONDOWN: LDP session x.x.x.x is down, reason: hold time expired Apr 21 03:36:34 hostname rpd[2299]: RPD_LDP_NBRDOWN: LDP neighbor x.x.x.x (lo0.0) is down Apr 21 03:36:38 hostname rpd[2299]: RPD_LDP_NBRDOWN: LDP neighbor x.x.x.x (lo0.0) is down Apr 21 03:36:38 hostname rpd[2299]: RPD_LDP_SESSIONDOWN: LDP session x.x.x.x is down, reason: all adjacencies down Apr 21 03:55:34 hostname rpd[2299]: RPD_LDP_SESSIONDOWN: LDP session x.x.x.x is down, reason: received notification from peer Apr 21 03:55:34 hostname rpd[2299]: RPD_LDP_SESSIONDOWN: LDP session x.x.x.x is down, reason: received notification from peer Apr 21 03:55:35 hostname rpd[2299]: RPD_LDP_SESSIONDOWN: LDP session x.x.x.x is down, reason: received notification from peer Apr 21 03:55:35 hostname rpd[2299]: RPD_LDP_SESSIONDOWN: LDP session x.x.x.x is down, reason: received notification from peer Actions taken from our team was; - Increase the hold time setting on the ldp enabled interfaces. - Increase the time interval on the same ldp enabled interfaces. - setting the ldp session protection setting on the ldp enabled loopback interface. Unfortunately the actions did not yield much since the flaps have been ongoing. Anyone have any Idea on what the problem / solution might be? -- Blessings, Joel Ahumuza SkypeID - jl.hmz + 256-75-1040411 | + 256-78-2040411

Latency, TCP ACKs and upload needs
by Jean-Francois Mezei 22 Apr '16

22 Apr '16

As part of the ongoing CRTC hearings, the incumbents' claim that continued implementation of the current 5/1 standard would make Canada a world leader for broadband in the future. A satellite company who currently can't even deliver its advertised 5/1 now brags its next satellite will deliver 25/1. So I have a few questions: Considering a single download TCP connection. I am aware that modern TCP stacks will rationalize ACKs and send 1 ACK for every x packets received, thus reducing upload bandwidth requirements. Is this basically widespread and assumed that everyone has that ? Also, as you split available bandwidth between multiple streams, won't ack upload requirements increase because ACK rationalisation happens far less often sicne each TCP connection has its own context for ACKs? When one considers the added latency of satellite links, does 25/1 make sense ? (I need a sanity check to distinguish between marketing spin presented to the regulator and real life) I noticed that in the USA, EXEDE Satellite advertises 12/3 plans and they are also on a VIA Sat satellite, presumably the same vehicle that Xplornet tries to deliver its measly 5/1 on. Would all beams be identical on a satellite or can they be configured differently with a ISP adjustable rate of upload/download inside the same spectrum ? Also, when you establish a TCP connection, do most stacks have a default window size that gives the sender enough "patience" to wait long enough for the ACK ? If sender sends packet 457, doesn't get ACK in time and resends 457, doesn't that also result in reduction in window size (the very opposite of what would be needed in high latency links) ? And when the first ACK finally arrives, won't the sender assume this ACK was for the resent 457 ? Or is satellite latency low enough that stacks all have enough default "patience" to wait for ACKs and this is a non issue ? (Note Xplornet refused to answer questions on whether they operate special proxies at their gound stations to manage TCP connections to appear "close"). What i am trying to get at here is whether 25/1 on satellite, in real life with a few apps exchanging data, would actually be able to make use of the 25 download speed or whether the limited 1mbps upload would choke the downloads ?

DOCSIS 3.1 upstream
by Jean-Francois Mezei 21 Apr '16

21 Apr '16

Canadian cable carriers seem to have all told the CRTC they can only carry 42mhz in the upstream because their amplifiers and nodes only amplify that narrow band in the upstream direction. Is/was 42mhz common across north america ? In a typical installation, how much of the 42mhz is actually usable for upstream data ? (aka: how many 6mhz chunks are taken for TV STBs, Telephony and whatever other upstream channels. I think I heard that one 6mhz chunk is used for one the low numbered TV analogue channels. (although cablecos are slowly widthdrawing analogue TV now). Am trying to figure out realistic bandwidth that a cableco with 42mhz limits for upstream will get on 3.1. Also, have cablecos with such limits for upstream begun to upgrade the cable plant to increase the upstream bandwidth ? Canadian cablecos have told the regulator it would be prohibitively expensive to do so, but incumbents tend to exagerate these things when it is convenient. (they can then claim higher costs/congestion/need for node splits which increates regulated wholesale rates). And would it be correct that in RFoG deployment, the 42mhz limit disapears as the customer equipment talks directly tothe CMTS over fibre all the way ?

CDN, Steam, Origin and NAT.
by Laurent Dumont 21 Apr '16

21 Apr '16

Hi, We are running a small-ish LAN event in Toronto where we have to use a single IP address to NAT between 250-350 players. I have been made aware of possible issues with different services like Steam, Origin and Twitch who can run into issues when a large number of connections seem to originate from a single IP address. I just wanted to poke the list to see if anyone can chime him on their experiences with NATing customers and the impact it might have on public services. I am usually using public IP address space for players when designing most large LAN events. Dealing with NAT for a medium-ish amount of customers is not something I am used to do. It feels silly to worry about that when you assume that WISP sometimes(mostly?) use CGN when providing internet to customers. The same could be said of most large office buildings around the world. I appreciate any input on the matter! Thanks Laurent

Mobile providers in the US for backup access
by Dovid Bender 20 Apr '16

20 Apr '16

A while ago some people mentioned that some US carriers have basic internet plans for backup access to their equipment. A few questions: 1) Do they give you a public IP per connection or do you tunnel back to a central location and then connect via the tunnel? 2) Which carriers offer this and what kind of devices do you use to connect? Is it simply a GSM card on a "MyFi" like device? We have lots of Pi's out there that we want backup access to. 3) Can you send off list contacts and pricing that you have gotten in the past? TIA.

The average line-card (0/0/CPU0: A9K-24x10GE-TR) CPU utilization of my routers is about 10%, however recently I have noticed that 3-5 times a day it increases to 40% and stays there for about an hour (20% spp + 10% netio + the rest). I know this is well withing the acceptable range, but I am the kind of person who likes to understand every change in his network and during the investigation I had to realize that I simply don't have the tools to troubleshoot the ASR CPU. ----------------------------------- On cisco: sho proc cpu scott

Software for circuit documentation
by Manuel Marín 19 Apr '16

19 Apr '16

Dear Nanog community We are looking for a network inventory software to document logical circuits and fibers. We have been using Racktables for cross connects and racks documentation and works great, but we did find a way to document MPLS, Eline/ELAN, OTN, SONET, IP circuits, external plant (fibers), etc. I would appreciate if you can share what you use for documentation. Thank you and have a great day Regards

New Switches with Broadcom StrataDNX
by Colton Conor 19 Apr '16

19 Apr '16

Does anyone know when the switching and router vendors will release their new models with the Broadcom BCM88370 and BCM88670 chips? It looks like these chips could be used as a carrier grade router and/or metro E device. More information here: http://www.broadcom.com/press/release.php?id=s902223 and here: http://www.nextplatform.com/2015/03/19/new-dune-chips-enable-heftier-switch…
