I picked up two of the AT&T "Beam" USB devices that use the LTE network. Netgear is the listed manufacturer and has firmware for the units that makes them usable on Linux. I loaded the driver for those into a Debian box and I'm able to use smstools open source software to send SMS from the unit directly to cell network. The AT&T Beam's were $20 I think and cost us about $15/mo as additional lines on our corporate plan.

Inferring the location points of traffic exchange between two networks
by Reza Motamedi 15 Jan '16

15 Jan '16

Hi NANOG, I am researcher at the University of Oregon and my question is rather primitive. My research background is in networked systems and Internet measurement so I know how things work in theory. My question is about BGP and what can be inferred from the output of different "show" commands, regarding the point of traffic exchange of two networks with different ASNs. I tried going through the some samples on Juniper and Cisco documentations but I did not get my answer. Consider the following scenario; Say the point of traffic exchange between AS_a and AS_b is in San Francisco and we run "show bgp summary" and "show ip bgp <prefix>"on a BGP router of AS_a in LA. Do we see the peering between AS_a and AS_b in San Francisco using any of the two commands. If yes is there a way to infer that in fact the traffic is not exchanged locally in LA? I think there should be a flag to differentiate records showing iBGP vs eBGP. On the same note, if we issue the commands on a router other than the border router in San Fran, is there any difference in the output of show commands? Now how are things different if we actually run the commands on that gateway router in SF? Best Regards Reza Motamedi (R.M) Graduate Research Fellow Oregon Network Research Group Computer and Information Science University of Oregon

verizon fios bounced a legit private email of mine telling me it was spam and they would not allow it
by Gordon Cook 14 Jan '16

14 Jan '16

dear Nanog Sorry to bother you, I am sitting here in shock, I have been a Verizon to FiOS customer for about the past six years at least I think maybe eight. every now and then the Verizon server will bounce an email back and tell me that it’s busy or not functioning but just now it bounced one back and I’m sorry I don’t have a screenshot of what it said but it clearly said that it considered me to be a spammer. I may be a lot of things but a spammer I am not. ;-) when I get an email bounced back Apple OS X always volunteers to use the pair networks server and I always automatically take that choice giving it never a second thought. it also reminded me that there was a limit on the amount of private emails a customer could send. And it said I needed to take the alleged spam and send it to spamdetector.update(a)verizon.net and if I remember correctly wait at least an hour and then try to send the message again. Stating very clearly that no human being would talk to me. what in God’s name is going on? Please a year and a half or two years ago when a route to Ecuador was being filtered a couple of NANOG folk knew whom to contact and the problem was fixed in record time. I am hoping that I will experience the same thing. I should not be a stranger to any old time Nanog-ers. but right now I’m feeling really paranoid!

Youtube CDN unreachable over IPv6

Dear Google, It appears that one of the Youtube CDN's (in Europe, NL) is not reachable over IPv6 from AS 20844. Can someone get back to us on this, the company can't access any of the videos currently, although the mainpage loads fine (over IPv6). Kind regards, Seth telnet r6---sn-5hne6n76.googlevideo.com 443 Trying 2a00:1450:401c:4::b... telnet: connect to address 2a00:1450:401c:4::b: Connection timed out Trying 74.125.100.203...

[TECH] PPPoE server on ASR 920
by Nicolas Even 12 Jan '16

12 Jan '16

Hi. I need some help. I hope some of you are able to help me :) I configured a pppoe server on a brand new asr 920 plateform (advanced metro ip access) but it's not working. My set up is trivial : 1/ Add a bba-group and a virtual template : bba-group pppoe BBAPPPOE virtual-template 1 sessions per-mac limit 2 interface Virtual-Template1 ip unnumbered Loopback0 no peer default ip address ppp authentication pap CPE_USER 2/ Then, configure the Radius : aaa group server radius<removed> server<removed> auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813 ip radius source-interface Loopback0 ! aaa authentication ppp CPE_USER group <removed> aaa authorization network default group removed> radius-server host<removed> auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813 key 7 <removed> 3/ Finally, I configured an interface accepting pppoe : interface GigabitEthernet0/0/4 description TEST-PPPOE no ip address media-type rj45 negotiation auto pppoe enable group BBAPPPOE A router, plugged on the interface Gi 0/0/4, is sending pado packets but ASR920 is not seeing these packets : Counters does not increment, debug says nothing. ASR920-ALE-1#sh pppoe statistics But I can see input packets with ASR920-ALE-1# sh interfaces Gi 0/0/4 Has anyone have experience with pppoe server on a ASR920 ? Thanks a lot :) Nicolas.

SMS gateways
by David Hubbard 12 Jan '16

12 Jan '16

Hey all, was curious if anyone has opinions on the FoxBox vs SMS Eagle boxes for sending SMS alerts directly to the cell network? http://www.smsfoxbox.it/en/foxbox-iq.html/ http://www.smseagle.eu/store/en/devices/1-sms-eagle.html Any alternative options would be appreciated too. I saw Microcom’s iSMS modem mentioned in the list archives but it’s only 2G so likely won’t be viable much longer. The other question, given the fact that they’re both GSM-based, is whether or not you know if AT&T or T-Mobile have cheap ‘machine’ plans for use by these types of devices. We have all of our OpenGear out of band console servers on Verizon and they have these special ‘machine’ plans for $10/mo with very limited bandwidth, so that has allowed us to deploy a bunch of them without worrying about a huge phone bill. Thanks, David

Binge On! - get your umbrellas out, stuff's hitting the fan.
by Valdis Kletnieks 12 Jan '16

12 Jan '16

So we went round and round back in November regarding Binge On! and whether it was net neutrality. So here's some closure to that... The EFF did some testing and discovered that what T-Mobile is actually doing doesn't match what they said it was... https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/01/eff-confirms-t-mobiles-bingeon-optimi… Apparently, John Legere, CEO of T-Mobile, doesn't know who the EFF is, or why they're giving him a hard time. "Part B of my answer is, who the fuck are you, anyway, EFF?" Legere said. "Why are you stirring up so much trouble, and who pays you?" http://www.theverge.com/2016/1/7/10733298/john-legere-binge-on-lie /me makes popcorn....

IPv6 Implementation and CPE Behavior
by Graham Johnston 12 Jan '16

12 Jan '16

Hi nanog, We are little behind in our IPv6 rollout are pushing to make big strides by the end of Q2. We have all of our core network and primary infrastructure dual-stack enabled at this point and our next step will be to move to dual-stack on our CMTSs. For those retail operators that have enabled dual-stack can you comment on behavior that you observed from customer CPE equipment after flipping the switch? Are most CPE devices generally not IPv6 capable in the first place? For those that are capable are they usually still configured with IPv6 disabled, requiring the customer to enable it? For those CPE that are capable and enabled, is there a common configuration such as full blown DHCPv6 with PD? For those that are responding I am primarily concerned about customer routers. I have followed the many discussions about Android phones that don't perform DHCPv6, and I am really concerned about these kind of issues as these devices basically won't be seen at the edge of the customer's network. If you have something else that you think is noteworthy, I'm all ears. Thanks, Graham Johnston Network Planner Westman Communications Group 204.717.2829 johnstong(a)westmancom.com<mailto:johnstong@westmancom.com> P think green; don't print this email.
