Possible Level3 Latency and Packet Loss
by Eric Rogers 05 Jan '16

05 Jan '16

I have several customers that have contacted us about VoIP quality, and I have moved BGP away from Level3, and even through Cogent and/or HE to try and bypass but it still goes back into Level3's network. Is there any way I can get an engineer from Level3 to contact me to help troubleshoot this? The NOC will not talk with me as I am not a Customer of Record.

Netflix stuffing data on pipe
by Matt Hoppes 04 Jan '16

04 Jan '16

Has anyone else observed Netflix sessions attempting to come into customer CPE devices at well in excess of the customers throttled plan? I'm not talking error retries on the line. I'm talking like two to three times in excess of what the customers CPE device can handle. I'm observing massive buffer overruns in some of our switches that appear to be directly related to this. And I can't figure out what possible good purpose Netflix would have for attempting to do this. Curious if anyone else has seen it?

My understanding was if it all goes through here in the US as proposed ISPs would have to provide real time monitoring of data Not as part of CALEA but as part of NSA surveilance. > On Jan 3, 2016, at 18:54, Tom Berryman <Tom(a)connectivityit.com.au> wrote: > > G'Day Matt, > > I'm here in Australia - and yes we are all well aware of the "benefits" of the TPP. > > What do you mean by burned? > As in the additional accounting and administration overhead of doing business with operators in TPP participating countries? > > Also, will you be attending PTC? > > > Regards, > Tom Berryman > > > Tom Berryman | CTO > Connectivity I.T.

interconnection costs
by Reza Motamedi 31 Dec '15

31 Dec '15

Hi NANOG We are a group of researchers and our focus is on the economy of interconnection in the Internet. My question is mainly about the various costs of an AS establishing a connection with another AS, including the costs charged by the colocation providers. I am familiar with most of the connection options such as public peering on IXP, and private peering through xconnects. My understanding is that in addition to the cost of transit that the smaller AS pays to the larger AS, in the former you pay a monthly fee to establish a link to the switching fabric and then you can connect to as many ASes that are member in the IXP, and in the later you need to pay for as many xconnects that you need to connect to as many ASes that you plan to peer with. Obviously in both cases there is the cost of being in the colocation and renting a rack or whatever. What are the other costs involved? How should the AS reach the colocation center in the first place? I don't think every network can dig a hole an lay cables. Who should they pay to get from one PoP to another? Do ASes have to pay for xconnect to connect their PoP in a data center to the rest of their network? I think there is no single answer as different businesses may have different pricing models. I hope the discussion can help me understand the whole ecosystem a little bit better.
