Hi - I've tried multiple methods to get BOGONs and blacklisted IP's removed from these domains with very limited success, so could someone from these companies respond to me offline, if possible, concerning our IP ranges being denied access to send e-mails.... Many thanks Simon Simon Brilus Internet Manager - Engineering and Operations Bulldog Communications

RE: Peering point speed publicly available?

Very true.. Work with the network operators on each side of the link to determine the speed/load. For the most part if they really want your business, they will be able to provide something. The main reason link speed maybe important to me would serialization delay on the circuit. OC-768 should be much lower latency than a T1...unless your are at the end of the queue :-) Latency is probably be your primary concern for large TCP transfers anyway. -C -----Original Message----- From: Tony Li [mailto:tony.li@tony.li] Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2004 7:02 PM To: Cody Lerum Cc: erik(a)myevilempire.net; nanog(a)merit.edu; network.support(a)oati.net Subject: Re: Peering point speed publicly available?

ARIN Comment

On Tuesday, 29 June, I assigned the ARIN General Counsel the task to review and prepare the necessary filings to either intervene formally or as an amicus in the case filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey Chancery Division for Morris County No: MRSC-87-04. ARIN's interest in reviewing this dispute was two fold: a. Determine whether the global and regional policies regarding the use of Internet Numbering Resources have been violated; and b. Determine whether the Registration Service Agreements which both the Plaintiff and the Defendant have signed with ARIN have been violated. The pleadings in this case have been carefully reviewed by the ARIN General Counsel. As a result of that review we have preliminarily determined that neither the policies nor Registration Service Agreements have been violated. Therefore we have concluded that it is not appropriate for ARIN to intervene formally or as an amicus in this case. The parties to the dispute are the Plaintiff, a company known as University Communications dba Pegasus Web Technologies, which provides web hosting and internet access services to customers, and its principal; and the Defendant, Net Access Corporation, an ISP that supplied number resources, obtained from ARIN, to the Plaintiff. ARIN has no interest in the 'who shot John' allegations between Plaintiff and Defendant regarding claims of breach of contract, breach of duty of good faith and fair dealing, and etc. Stripped to its essence, it is clear that Plaintiff no longer wants to do business in the long run with Defendant, and appears to be following ARIN and Internet customary procedures to renumber client accounts in a manner that will permit its internet customers to seamlessly continue their use of the Internet, whether the number used was originally issued to the Defendant, then provided to the specific member of the public by the Plaintiff, or is now being renumbered by the Plaintiff. It does take time to renumber, and it appears the real issue in this suit is Plaintiff's attempt to obtain from the Court what it believes is sufficient time to accomplish this task. We express no opinion whether the Plaintiff might have moved faster in this regard and avoided this dispute, because those facts are not fully known to us. We have carefully reviewed the arguments provided and do not believe the arguments by the Plaintiff sought any relief inconstant with obtaining time to renumber, consistent with ARIN's and the Internet community's normal expectations. That is also the overall thrust of the Order to Show Cause With Temporary Restraints issued by the Court. There is language in that Order that if taken out of context of the arguments and spirit of the Order might have raised some concern. For example the Order does not clearly expire in several months consistent with the requested time to renumber. However, we have concluded it is not a problem when read in context and ARIN can at any point raise in any Court its objection to an open ended requirement that numbers supplied by business A to business B must be maintained in perpetuity and not renumbered. Therefore, we have concluded that the recent intense discussion was fueled by a characterization of the litigation by one of the parties in a manner that was intended to and did raise community concerns, that we do not agree are implicated at this time. We will continue to monitor this and other litigation that might genuinely raise these concerns, and will alert the community to such cases when we find them so courts can be educated about these policies.

NANOG, I have a question regarding information on my ISP's peering relationships. Are the speeds of some or all peering relationships public knowledge, and if so, where can I find this? By speed, I mean bandwidth (DS3, OC3, 100Mbps, 1Gbps, etc.). I am trying to transfer large stuff from my AS, through my ISP, through another ISP, to another AS, and I'm wondering how fast the peering point is between the ISPs.

Latency does have a impact on TCP transfers, now granted the difference between a oc-3 and oc-192 is negligible, but if you stack a lot of T1 connections back to back its going to be a factor in your max throughput across the path. (Stats below might not exactly be accurate...snipped from another site) DS3: (1500 bytes * 8 bits/byte) / 44040192 bits/sec = .27 ms (approx) DS1: (1500 bytes * 8 bits/byte) / 1572864 bits/sec = 8 ms (approx) DS0: (1500 bytes * 8 bits/byte) / 65536 bits/sec = 183 ms (approx) If you don't think it does then run some ftp transfers end to end with 1ms of delay, and with 100ms, 200ms, 500ms, 1000 ms I never said that .002 microseconds is going to have a noticeable difference, but those 10ms - 20ms hops starts to add up. As well as propagation delay as you stated. -C -----Original Message----- From: Richard A Steenbergen [mailto:ras@e-gerbil.net] Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2004 7:30 PM To: Cody Lerum Cc: Tony Li; erik(a)myevilempire.net; nanog(a)merit.edu; network.support(a)oati.net Subject: Re: Peering point speed publicly available?

Actually, many larger peering relationships come with contracts which explicitly forbid them from telling you any details about link capacity or utilization, or in some cases even acknowledging that peering exists. They might tell you anyways though. :) For the most part, it is hope for descriptive DNS or bust. For the most part, DNS is not descriptive (especially on peering links). :) > The main reason link speed maybe important to me would serialization > delay on the circuit. OC-768 should be much lower latency than a > T1...unless your are at the end of the queue :-) Once you get past 10Mbps, serialization delay is measured in fractions of a millisecond. This has absolutely no impact on TCP performance, compared to speed of light delays (like from oh say a 50ft patch cable). > Latency is probably be your primary concern for large TCP transfers > anyway.

In this case, there is no speed description at all. The p3-3 interface indicates that this is a PoS interface, probably Cisco, and the IR designation on XO indicates a peering router.

Not to mention I have run across a few providers who skew their dns records to make their network look bigger/faster. Like I said it might get you a vague idea, but I wouldn’t place money on it. Just like GE might really be 10GE and FE might only be limited to 10Mbps. How often do you think IP's get moved around, and the DNS doesn't? -C -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Golding [mailto:dgolding@burtongroup.com] Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2004 8:02 PM To: Cody Lerum; erik(a)myevilempire.net; nanog(a)merit.edu Cc: network.support(a)oati.net Subject: Re: Peering point speed publicly available? Sometimes it can give a hint. However, if the ISPs are following the ³interface name² convention, you¹ll get something like P3-1-2, which just tells you its Packet Over SONET. That can mean anything from OC-3 to OC-192. ³ge² could mean 10 gige :) The "2488M" from glbx is nice, but not too common. It would be so nice if this were standardized between all providers.
