CAIDA BGP Hackathon 6,7 Feb 2016 -- Call for Participation
by Alberto Dainotti 09 Dec '15

09 Dec '15

What: CAIDA BGP Hackathon, Call for Participation (CFP) When: Feb 6-7, 2016 Where: the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) on the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) campus. Who: Parties interested in hacking on live BGP data. Inquiries: bgp-hackathon-info(a)caida.org Important Deadline: Dec 22, 2015 for travel grant requests Apply to attend: http://www.caida.org/workshops/bgp-hackathon/1602/ CAIDA, in cooperation with CSU, USC, UFMG, FORTH, Route Views, RIPE NCC, will host a BGP Hackathon on the 6-7th of February 2016 at UC San Diego (La Jolla, CA, USA). The theme of the hackathon is “live BGP measurements and monitoring”. We will provide participating teams with access to data sources and a toolbox: live streaming of BGP data, the new BGPMon interface, BGP processing tools and APIs such as the opensource BGPStream software framework, the PEERING testbed, RIPE RIS, visualization tools, and data-plane active measurement platforms such as CAIDA Ark and RIPE Atlas. Participating teams will work on "challenges" that extend, integrate and demonstrate the utility of these platforms/data for understanding or solving practical problems (e.g., detecting BGP prefix hijacking, evaluating anycast performance, effectively visualizing phenomena). The hackathon will be held in San Diego the weekend immediately preceding the NANOG conference and the AIMS academic Internet measurement workshop. The hackathon aims to: - bring together these different communities, e.g., to discuss problems operators face that academics may want to research; - advertise tools (e.g., PEERING peering.usc.edu, BGPStream bgpstream.caida.org) to the communities and get people familiar with using them, and encourage further use in the future; - get people working together on interesting/important problems, hopefully spurring further collaboration on these problems; - provide extra incentive for students to attend NANOG. ### FORMAT Each team of 2-4 people will work on a "challenge". The organization committee will propose a set of challenges to bootstrap feedback and refinement based on community input: participants can propose totally new challenges, modifications to existing ones, and express their preferences. The set of potential challenges is described in the event website at https://github.com/CAIDA/bgp-hackathon/wiki/List-of-Challenges and will continuously evolve in the days preceding the hackathon. On Saturday morning, participants will very briefly introduce their interests and ideas and teams will be officially formed. On Saturday and Sunday, participants will work together in teams to hack and develop their ideas, culminating in very short presentations to the jury on Sunday evening and a party to announce the winning teams and celebrate everyone's participation. During the event, domain-experts will provide support to the teams. Participants are free to work on drafted challenges and on their own ideas in the days preceding the hackathon. A mailing list and documentation will provide support on the platforms/tools/data used in the hackathon. However, for the teams to compete in the hackathon for prizes, they will have to demonstrate that substantial work was done during the two-day event. ### PARTICIPATION AND TRAVEL GRANTS Application to participate in the hackathon is open from December 8, 2016. Application does not guarantee participation. There is no application fee, and no participation fee. We will accept applications until one week before the hackathon, or until capacity is reached. However, the deadline to apply for a travel grant (through the hackathon application form) is 22 December 2015. Travel grants reimburse flights and hotel expenses. Food and drinks will be provided throughout the two-day event. http://www.caida.org/workshops/bgp-hackathon/1602/

Is RouteViews dead? Is there any alternatives?
by Kurt Kraut 08 Dec '15

08 Dec '15

Hi, For the past couple of months I've been attempting to add new Autonomous Systems to the RouteViews project and got no response. Talking to other AS in my area, I wasn't able to find no new BGP operator that got a response from them since July. Is RouteViews dead? If the answer is yes, it is sad. It is the most used resource about the internet routing for multiple perspectives. Is there any other similar project that I could colaborate providing the point of view of my routers have of the internet? Best regards, Kurt Kraut

IGF Mandate Renewl
by Steve Mikulasik 08 Dec '15

08 Dec '15

The UN's Internet Governance Forum is up for renewal at the end of 2015, without UN approval they will be shutdown. I am relatively new here and haven't seen much discussion about IGF and UN (attempted) involvement in the internet. How do people feel about the IGF and should it be renewed by the UN? I can't really figure out what gap they fill other than being big conference. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Governance_Forum#2015_mandate_renewal

Hi All, we got an issue today that announces from Cogent don't reach Hurricane Electric. HE support said that's a feature, not a bug. So we have splitted Internet again? I have to change at least one of my uplinks because of it, which one is better to drop, HE or Cogent?

Re: Modem as a service?

Have you looked into scheduled scans with WarVOX?

Rather than have a live body call a modem number (or even a fax) to see if it answers (to determine if there is a potential site power issue), we'd like to be able to utilize some "Modem as a service" to automate this. I've exhausted my Google skills trying to see if anything like this exists. Anyone have any experience?

Kinda funny and perhaps offtopic, but I noticed the cert for mozilla.org expired right before my eyes when checking my plugins.

Questions regarding equipment for a large LAN event
by Laurent Dumont 07 Dec '15

07 Dec '15

Hi Nanog, This email might seem a bit strange but bear with me. I am a member of a student club in Montreal named "Lan ETS". Every year, we organize on the biggest LAN event in North-America. We have an amazing partnership with Cisco where they allow us to request a fair amount of equipment so that we can create the best experience for our players. This year, we are looking into some equipment that slightly out of our usual expertise. Usually, we target high-density stackable switches like a 3650/3750/3850 with 48 GigE and 4 SFP for our 10G core. We design our network around small "islands" of players all linked with each other through a 2x10G fiber network. Everyone is assigned a public address and we route everyone out through our core switch. We were looking at either the Nexus 7004 chassis or the ASR 9004/9006 chassis for this year event. We would then use 48xGigE and 1x24 SFP+ line cards. Our actual port requirements and somewhat flexible but we do need at least 4x10G Fiber ports. And at least 48 GigE ports for players or access switches. I'm also open to any suggestion within Cisco portfolio. Our needs are pretty standard and nothing extraordinary but we would like to use this opportunity in order to try new equipment and technologies that are usually only seem within ISP and large networks. I appreciate any input on the matter! Thank you -- Laurent Dumont https://coldnorthadmin.com

Google Chrome 47.0.2526.73M broken NTLM proxy authentication
by Seth Mos 07 Dec '15

07 Dec '15

Dear Google, As of Dec 2nd the Google Chrome 47.0.2526.73M breaks NTLM proxy authentication. This is unfortunate as nobody can get off the company network now, which is secure I suppose, but not quite what I had in mind. https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/G_9eXH9c_ns;context-p… So if anybody gets called that Google Chrome is throwing a username/password prompt for every website you try, listing the website as the authentication domain, instead of the proxy server, this is for you. If you are ahead of the curve, you can make a GPO to disable Chrome updates for the time being until this is fixed. If the browser already updated, well, sorry. Kind regards, Seth
