Reminder of June 1, 2006 ip6.int deprecation
by Member Services 06 Apr '06

06 Apr '06

ARIN wishes to remind the community that the RIRs have agreed to deprecate ip6.int on June 1, 2006. As mentioned in our March 2 announcement, in August 2005, RFC 4159 Deprecation of ip6.int was published as Best Current Practice. This RFC noted that maintenance of ip6.int is no longer required and that the Regional Internet Registries adopt a schedule for cessation of ip6.int. Further note that since 7 December 2005, ARIN no longer modifies any of the zones it administers under ip6.int. Ginny Listman Director of Engineering American Registry for Internet Numbers

RFC 3107
by Glen Kent 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

Hi, Is there any application that uses RFC 3107 (Label info inside BGP) encoding other than RFC 2547? I mean, is there any application that advertises BGP labels along with the NLRIs? Is anybody using this? Thanks! Kent

Colocation RFQ?
by Graham Freeman 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

Hi, folks, I run a small colocation cooperative in Northern California. Our numbers are growing rapidly, and we're looking to expand from a half- cab to a full-cab in the next few months. We'll probably also expand from our current 1Mbps@95% to at least 2Mbps@95%, but we're also considering a 10Mbps@95% commit if the pricing is right. (For example, there's at least one similar group who'll join us if we can sell them 1Mbps@95% and 1U for $100/mo or less.) We've been very happy at Sonic.net in Santa Rosa, CA for the last couple of years, and it's entirely possible that we'll stay. However, we're shopping around to make sure we make the best decision when our current contract comes to term in a few months. We want to end up with a reputable, honest, proactive, spam-hostile, well-connected, well-run colo service provider in a well-engineered, well-run carrier-neutral facility in the San Francisco Bay Area. We're not looking for bargain-basement pricing - we'd like to retain a high quality of service - but neither can we afford to pay exorbitant rates. It'd be ideal if our primary vendor was big enough to make things happen but small enough so that we'd represent a significant revenue stream. I've seen recent traffic on this list about RFPs in the context of purchasing transit. Would anyone mind sharing a sample colocation RFQ, or advice for creating such a document? For example, what should I specify about network characteristics such as provider diversity and performance without A) missing something important and B) excluding potentially worthwhile vendors? My overall goal is to collect as much relevant information as possible in a way that makes it easy to normalize for apples-to-apples comparisons. I'd appreciate any help you could provide. Thanks!

Network Solutions outage?
by Vinny Abello 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

Did anyone else notice the withdrawal of 205.178.184.0/21? I couldn't reach Network Solutions or any worldnic.com DNS servers for at least 10 minutes from our network or any route server I tried on the Internet. All were on this /21 which was no longer being announced from any perspective I saw.

I've got a site in CA that's using Qwest's iQ VPN and it's been intermittently unreachable all morning. During the short periods I can actually access the router, I'm not seeing any errors or layer three problems from the site's perspective (BGP peer isn't flapping, for example.) I'm just about to open a ticket. We'll see what they say. John --
