bgp as-path info
by Austad, Jay 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

I just brought up a BGP session with one of my providers, they are stripping our AS as it leaves their network, so it looks like the route is originating from their network. I have another provider that I will be bringing up BGP with later this week. Once I bring up the other provider, I will be advertising several networks out both of them. Is this as-path stripping going to cause issues? Does it matter either way? -jay

He shouldn't be stripping out your ASN (mostly, if that ASN is the originator one) -----Mensaje original----- De: Austad, Jay [mailto:JAustad@temgweb.com] Enviado el: Martes, 02 de Septiembre de 2003 03:01 p.m. Para: nanog(a)merit.edu Asunto: bgp as-path info I just brought up a BGP session with one of my providers, they are stripping our AS as it leaves their network, so it looks like the route is originating from their network.

(08-28) 20:31 PDT WASHINGTON (AP) -- The FBI has identified a teenager as the author of a damaging virus-like infection unleashed on the Internet and plans to arrest him early Friday, a U.S. official confirmed Thursday. The 18-year-old, whose name and hometown was not immediately available, was accused of writing one version of the damaging "Blaster" infection, which spread quickly across the Internet weeks ago, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. <http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/news/archive/2003/08/28/nationa…>

Does anyone know to go about getting Qwest or a CLEC to patch through a dry pair between two buildings connected to the same CO? When I called to order one, no one knew what I was talking about. -jay

Hi, NANOGers. While sipping your morning coffee don't forget to check for lame DNS delegations. There are 43585 entries in the lamer report for the week ending 31 AUG 2003. These entries are often indicators of greater problems with name server configurations. <http://www.cymru.com/DNS/lame.html> Our thanks to those of you who have donated additional data for the cause. It is greatly appreciated. :) Thanks! Rob, for Team Cymru. -- Rob Thomas http://www.cymru.com ASSERT(coffee != empty);

Level3 has been very solid on the IP transit side. MFN/AboveNet has also been very good to us. -Sean Sean P.

Measured Internet good v. "bad" traffic
by Raymond, Steven 31 Aug '03

31 Aug '03

Have received complaints from usage-based-billing Internet customers lately about not wanting to pay for the nuisance traffic caused by worm-of-the-day. I believe that in the case of a short-duration, targeted attack that can be eventually be stopped, a billing credit is probably appropriate. But what about these current plagues that go on for weeks or forever- what is your network's response? Some simply want the traffic filtered in our routers- permanently. That is my least favorite option. Others want to simply not be billed for "bad" traffic. My reaction is to suggest that metered billing is probably not for you, then. But I could of course sympathize if I were footing the bill. What are other network operators doing about this issue, if it is an issue for them at all? Thanks
