Route analysis from today's AS9121 incident - preso in Seattle?
by ren 24 Dec '04

24 Dec '04

Dear NANOG Program Committee, Request: May we please have a presentation by Renesys on today's AS9121 incident at the Seattle NANOG 15-17 May 2005? Reason: This morning, 24-Dec-04, I gather AS9121 originations were spread throughout the prefix space. We, the peering community, noticed substantial instability throughout our peers as more specifics were accepted via peers without filtering. Given holiday staffing it took several hours longer to restore from max prefix states than it should have, and this is a problem hundreds of NOCs dealt with not just a handful. It would be of use to discuss what happened, the prevention methods available and how to help feed the data collection for real time analysis. The Las Vegas NANOG is perhaps too soon so I am asking that this presentation be considered for the NANOG to follow in Seattle. I'm requesting this in the open with the understanding past requests for Renesys data presentations have been turned down by the program committee. The 'can't prefix filter peers' problem has to be solved. NANOG is the right forum for this topic. Sincerely, -ren

New Computer? Six Steps to Safer Surfing
by Sean Donelan 24 Dec '04

24 Dec '04

A better than average news article helping people keep their new computers secure. It is much easier to prevent your computer getting infected, than it is curing your computer afterwards. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A9658-2004Dec18.html I wouldn't rely on software firewalls. At the same store you buy your computer, also buy a hardware firewall. Hopefully soon the motherboard and NIC manufacturers will start including built-in hardware firewalls. But sometimes, such as dialup modems, software firewalls are the only alternative.

I think everyone has pretty much known that the international cable companies are basically cartels -- leaking bandwidth into the market at a rate sufficient enough to keep prices artificially high enough to (at the very least) sustain fiscal margins. This has been going on for years. - fergie -- Adrian Chadd <adrian(a)creative.net.au> wrote: On Thu, Dec 23, 2004, Suresh Ramasubramanian wrote: > > .. and meanwhile, the best part of 32 STM-1s worth of fiber is lying dark ...

Its not increasing the bandwidth of a fibre, its just allowing TCP streams to use more bandwidth. Hacks to do this have been popping up here and there for a number of years. So how is it relevant to the international cable company practice(s) of artifically limiting bandwidth to limit growth? Adrian -- Adrian Chadd "You don't have a TV?

Anycast 101
by Iljitsch van Beijnum 23 Dec '04

23 Dec '04

I got some messages from people who weren't exactly clear on how anycast works and fails. So let me try to explain... In IPv6, there are three ways to address a packet: one-to-one (unicast), one-to-many (multicast), or one-to-any (anycast). Like multicast addresses, anycast addresses are shared by a group of systems, but a packet addressed to the group address is only delivered to a single member of the group. IPv6 has "round robin ARP" functionality that allows anycast to work on local subnets. Anycast DNS is a very different beast. Unlike IPv6, IPv4 has no specific support for anycast, and the point here is to distribute the group address very widely, rather than over a single subnet anyway. So what happens is that a BGP announcement that covers the service address is sourced in different locations, and each location is basically configured to think it's the "owner" of the address. The idea is that BGP will see the different paths towards the different anycast instances, and select the best one. Now note that the only real benefit of doing this is reducing the network distance between the users and the service. (Some people cite DoS benefits but DoSsers play the distribution game too, and they're much better at it.) Anycast is now deployed for a significant number of root and gtld servers. Before anycast, most of those servers were located in the US, and most of the rest of the world suffered significant latency in querying them. Due to limitations in the DNS protocol, it's not possible to increase the number of authoritative DNS servers for a zone beyond around 13. With anycast, a much larger part of the world now has regional access to the root and com and net zones, and probably many more that I don't know about. However, there are some issues. The first one is that different packets can end up at different anycast instances. This can happen when BGP reconverges after some network event (or after an anycast instance goes offline and stops announcing the anycast prefix), but under some very specific circumstances it can also happen with per packet load balancing. Most DNS traffic consists of single packets, but the DNS also uses TCP for queries sometimes, and when intermediate MTUs are small there may be fragmentation. Another issue is the increased risk of fait sharing. In the old root setup, it was very unlikely for a non-single homed network to see all the root DNS servers behind the same next hop address. With anycast, this is much more likely to happen. The pathological case is one where a small network connects to one or more transit networks and has local/regional peering, and then sees an anycast instance for all root servers over peering. If then something bad happens to the peering connection (peering router melts down, a peer pulls an AS7007, peering fabric goes down, or worse, starts flapping), all the anycasted addresses become unreachable at the same time. Obviously this won't happen to the degree of unreachability in practice (well, unless there are only two addresses that are both anycast for a certain TLD, then your milage may vary), but even if 5 or 8 or 12 addresses become unreachable the timeouts get bad enough for users to notice. The 64000 ms timeout query is: at what point do the downsides listed above (along with troubleshooting hell) start to overtake the benefit of better latency? I think the answer lies in the answers to these three questions: - How good is BGP in selecting the lowest latency path? - How fast is BGP convergence? - Which percentage of queries go to the first or fastest server in the list?
