verizon.net and other email grief
by Simon Waters 20 Dec '04

20 Dec '04

Hi, trying to pin down why so much email isn't making it recently. We see issues with various big ISPs. The most obvious is none of the three UK ISPs I have ready access to can connect to port 25 on relay.verizon.net. (MX for all the verizon.net email addresses). We can ping it (I'm sure it isn't singular?), but we have no more luck delivering email than contacting verizon technical staff, logs suggests we are in day 3 of this. I'm now listening to hold music at International rates - ouch. Have a support call with GXN open on connectivity to hotmail, which seems to vary with UK ISP, but is in general pretty poor from all of them. In general I'd say off topic in Nanog, but there comes a point where you start wondering if the routing is messed up. Am I alone before posting more details. Simon

I'm curious.. with the new fcc rulings out how are other clecs planning on coping with them? I'd love to hear reactions or thoughts on the latest the fcc is throwing at the lecs.

Overall, "fat fingers" account for the larger percentage of all outages. -M<

I'll go out on a limb here and suggest that the percentage of link failures over router failures is much, much higher. - ferg -- William Allen Simpson <wsimpson(a)greendragon.com> wrote: In 25+ years, I've not found that router failure was a major or even interesting problem.

CIDR & Broadband

Hi everyone, I just happened to notice something: AS18566 755 7 748 99.1% CVAD Covad Communications AS27364 441 33 408 92.5% ARMC Armstrong Cable Services AS22773 416 24 392 94.2% CXA Cox Communications Inc. AS21502 272 3 269 98.9% ASN-NUMERICABLE NUMERICABLE is a cabled network in France, AS14654 262 6 256 97.7% WAYPOR-3 Wayport AS25844 244 17 227 93.0% SASMFL-2 Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP AS4814 213 6 207 97.2% CHINA169-BBN CNCGROUP IP network��China169 Beijing Broadband Network Of these, the CIDR-report entries with > 90% deaggregation, 6 are high-speed Internet providers, and one's a lawfirm. Clearly, all of them can be described as "leaf" ASes. None of them seem to have multihoming customers (or at least not THAT many). I seem to remember a person from Covad saying that their deaggregation was going to be temporary (http://www.merit.edu/mail.archives/nanog/2004-11/msg00366.html) for some value of temporary, but what about the others? Any of the rest of you want to speak up and explain this? ===== David Barak -fully RFC 1925 compliant- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - now with 250MB free storage.
