Which is the case in about 99% of the commercial buildings providers serve. Unless you're designed as a carrier hotel or a colo (even some colos aren't diverse entrance facility), this is the de-facto standard. The reason why is carriers et. al. must pay for conduit access to a building and it impacts pricing, especially if you're not servicing a huge load of service to the building. From the entrace facilities, carriers typically also pay riser conduit fees. Service delivery inside of the prem is insidiously complicated unless you understand a little RE and how OSP is linked to the ISP (in side plant). > > Of course, you can get separacy with two carriers but > it is generally more work to verify that the two companies > do not share fibre or conduit or tunnels. Im a metro loop, they are almost certainly going to share the same path. It is less certain that they will share a conduit. This is standard if you have the route diversity, which is why you want the provider diversity to make it all work. Hope that helps. -M<

Microsoft SOHO router multicast problem? - or maybe it's just doing what it's supposed to be doing...
by Mark Radabaugh 14 Apr '05

14 Apr '05

So which one of the gods of Multicast would like to take a look at a short tcpdump and tell me if the multicast broadcast storm is a problem with the protocol, the Microsoft implementation, or just a really weird coincidence? We run a fixed wireless network that for various reasons is bridged. Yes - it's a crappy design and we are working on changing it but that's not really the point. I have been trying to track down a broadcast storm that shows up on the network intermittently. I finally managed to capture the start of one tonight. The process starts with a slightly mangled packet (intentional? - can't tell yet) with the 'multicast promiscuous bit' set. All of the customers with Microsoft routers (and one Belkin) then rewrite the mangled packet into a multicast packet, decriment the TTL, and forward it back out the interface it came in on. This process then repeats with each of the Microsoft routers responding to the packets from the other routers and sending them out again. With 4 of these routers it manages to generate 20,000+ packets before all of the TTL's drop to 0. Needless to say this results in a little bit of a performance hit. I have blocked Multicast at several points on the network so the problem should be gone for now. The tcpdump file is at http://www.amplex.net/images/multicast.cap Mark Radabaugh Amplex

fwd: Cobell lawyers ask trust systems be shutdown again (3rd time)
by Eric Brunner-Williams in Portland Maine 14 Apr '05

14 Apr '05

Howdy all, "Because it is indisputable that the 'poor state of network security' creates an imminent risk of irreparable injury... plaintiffs request that this court disconnect from the Internet and shut down each information technology system which houses or access individual Indian trust data to protect plaintiffs against further injury to their interests...," The perenial fuck't up ness of the US DOI BIA Trust is something that could be fixed, if the contracting office and/or contractors had competitive clue, but they don't, and probably won't ever. Think of it as a finding of fact that depeering is in the best interests of the putative beneficiaries of the Indian Trust systems.

Norton - "Sham" Certification Process Used to Okay Defective Computer Systems WASHIINGTON, April 12 -- The Interior Department used "a sham certificati on and accreditation process" to operate defective computer systems which house or access individual Indian Trust accounts, plaintiffs told a federal judge. Citing the Interior Department's own records, lawyers in the Cobell laws uit against Interior Secretary Gale Norton have asked U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth to reimpose a temporary restraining order, shutting down all trust syst ems. The temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction against the department are essential to protect 500,000 trust account beneficiaries from fu rther irreparable harm, the petition notes. "Because it is indisputable that the 'poor state of network security' cr eates an imminent risk of irreparable injury...plaintiffs request that this cour t disconnect from the Internet and shut down each information technology system which houses or access individual Indian trust data to protect plaintiffs agains t further injury to their interests...," the petition reads. It cited a study by the Interior Department's own inspector general who reported that "given the poor state of network security...and the the weak acces s controls we encountered on many systems, it is safe to say that we could have easily compromised the confidentiality, integrity and availablity of the identif ied Indian Trust data residing on such systems." Judge Lamberth has twice directed cutoffs of Interior's computer systems to protect trust data. But each time the department has reopened those systems , contending that they were safe from computer hackers. The new filing by the Cobell lawyers reports that Interior's chief infor mation officer, Hord Tipton, has said in a deposition that Interior officials di d not even consider the risk to Indian trust data when they reviewed the systems . Additional details of how the department reconnected its computers using the sham accreditition process are available in the filing for the temporary re straining order at www.indiantrust.com. ------- End of Forwarded Message

RE: Anyone familiar with the SBC product lingo?
by Dan Lockwood 14 Apr '05

Thanks all who replied. Since we have an OC-3 currently I went down the hall and pulled out the actual bill. I was even more confused when I looked at the bill. The situation is as follows... We have 4 DS3s and an OC3 which SBC provides to us via a Nortel mux that they placed on our premise. The OC3 we have now is hooked up to their ATM network to connect up some other high speed sites. On the actual bill for that OC3 it shows a charge for $2200, no more, no less. The service described is "SONET Circuit Service OC3" which I find very puzzling since we don't interface with SBC using SONET. Someone explained this weirdness as "you pay for the OC-3 that is provisioned through their SONET infrastructure of which the premise mux is the last stop". OK fine. So to continue with my current puzzlement, what types of USOCs should I expect to be quoted when provisioning an OC3 for voice? Basted on Matts recommendation it would seem that I need a regular old OC3. Additionally I would expect to see some misc tax and surcharge items; probably some sort of E911 charge as well. Anything else I am missing or do I just tell them that I want the transport plugged into the PSTN and give them the phone numbers that I want to ride on that circuit?

SONET is made up of building blocks calls a STS. A STS is equivalent to a DS-3 + SONET Wrapper. An OC-3 equals 3 STSes. OC-3s come in two types, 'channelized' OC-3 which is 3 DS-3s in 3 STSes and Packet Over SONET (POS), concatenated OC-3c which is 155mbps. If you are planning on using this circuit for TDM based voice (84 T1s in 3 DS-3 chunks) then you will want an OC-3 not an OC-3c. If you are planning on running 155mbps POS IP traffic you want an OC-3c. OC-3 = 3 x STS-1 = 3 x DS-3 = 3 x 28 DS-1s, 84 DS-1s = 2016 DS0 voice channels. OC-3c = 1 x STS-3 = 155mbps You can use an Adtran OPTI-3 to break an OC-3 into 3 distinct DS-3 channels which can be plugged into M13 muxes (Carrier Access Widebank 28) which will break a DS-3 into 28 DS-1s. If you want IP bandwidth you can use an OC-3 POS line card from your router vendor of choice. -Matt

New international IPv6 operators forum
by Daniel Roesen 14 Apr '05

14 Apr '05

Dear NANOGers, people were missing a global mailing list (not regional RIR/NOG) dedicated to _operational_ matters of the global IPv6 (production, not 6BONE) Internet. To fill this void I've created such a mailing list: http://lists.cluenet.de/mailman/listinfo/ipv6-ops/ So if you're taking part in IPv6 BGP or are interested in global IPv6 operational matters, feel more than invited to join the list! We'll try to get IPv6 ops people from all regions on board to foster exchange of experience and resolve problems which require someone non-local coordination as well as discuss problems people face while deploying IPv6. Best regards, Daniel -- CLUE-RIPE -- Jabber: dr(a)cluenet.de -- dr@IRCnet -- PGP: 0xA85C8AA0
