Creating demand for IPv6, and saving the planet
by Daniel Senie 24 Jun '08

24 Jun '08

A number of people have bemoaned the lack of any IPv6-only killer-content that would drive a demand for IPv6. I've thought about this, and about the government's push to make IPv6 a reality. What occurred to me is there is a satellite sitting in storage that would provide such content: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triana_(satellite) Al Gore pushed for this satellite, Triana, to provide those on earth with a view of the planet among its scientific goals. The Republicans referred to it as an "overpriced screen saver," though the effect even of just the camera component on people's lives and how they treat the planet could be considerable. By combining the launch of Triana with feeding the still images and video from servers only connected to native IPv6 bandwidth, the government would provide both a strong incentive for end users to want to move to IPv6, and a way to get the people of this planet to stop from time to time and ponder the future of the earth. Of course getting this done any time soon would require getting the present administration to reverse its bias against Triana and global warming. But it seemed to me an interesting way to advance two goals in synergy.

Creating a crystal clear and pure Internet
by Sean Donelan 05 Dec '07

05 Dec '07

Some people have compared unwanted Internet traffic to water pollution, and proposed that ISPs should be required to be like water utilities and be responsible for keeping the Internet water crystal clear and pure. Several new projects have started around the world to achieve those goals. ITU anti-botnet initiative http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/cyb/cybersecurity/projects/botnet.html France anti-piracy initiative http://www.culture.gouv.fr/culture/actualites/index-olivennes231107.htm

IPv4 BGP Table Reduction Analysis - Prefixes Filter by RIRs Minimum Allocations Boundaries
by Eduardo Ascenco Reis 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Nanog Fellows, I would like to share a work that may be of interest to some of you. Although the BGP data is around one month old and the original focus was on Brazilian AS and IP prefixes, the general analysis covers all Regional Internet Registries (RIRs). This work is part of an IPv4 BGP table reduction analysis and it is about IP prefixes filter by RIRs minimum allocations boundaries methodology (a well discussed Thread - Jon Lewis, et al). The analysis uses BGP data from University of Oregon Route Views Archive Project (2007-10-23-2000) and estimate possible impacts considering suboptimal routing and unreachable destinations. The methodology shows a good efficiency (around 40%) reducing BGP table size, but the estimated number of affect prefixes are also high (around 30%). The report covers impact analysis per RIR and IP prefixes distribution. It also do some IP prefixes accounting and analyse each RIR contribution to BGP table size. Here is the brief report URL: http://www.intron.com.br/doc/bgp/gter24-en-summary.eascenco.bgp-table-red.r… Any comments or suggestions (list or private) are welcome.

BGP community attribute taxonomy
by Benoit Donnet 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Dear Nanog community, During the past years, we have seen an increasing usage of the BGP community attribute. For instance, in a recent BGP table dump from routeviews, 99% of the routes stored by the router carries BGP communities. In this context, we are currently working on a BGP community taxonomy, i.e., we want to classify and document communities according to their usage. We describe our taxonomy on the following url: http://inl.info.ucl.ac.be/communities Based on this taxonomy, we tried to collect as much as possible information on BGP communities. This was a daunting task as we mainly relied on public database, such as whois server and ISP web sites. Our current database of classified BGP communities currently contains more than 12,000 entries. When running our database and taxonomy on recent BGP table dumps from RouteViews and RIPE (last dump from September 2007), we were only able to classify, on average, 20% of the encountered communities. Based on this result, we ranked the unclassified BGP communities. Here is the top 10 of most seen ASes using uncommented communities: AS19151 AS3549 AS3549 AS2914 AS7473 AS286 AS3292 AS13237 AS6667 AS34225 You can find the top 100 on the following url: http:// www.info.ucl.ac.be/~donnet/communities.html It gives the AS number as well as, for each AS, the various unclassified communities and their total frequency (i.e., the number of times the AS with unrecognized communities is encountered in table dumps). If you have any documentation regarding these communities, it would be very helpful if you can send us back this information. The easiest way for you is probably to reply to this email and attach the information (text, PDF, doc file, ...). When our database will be enough representative of the used BGP communities, we will made it freely available. We will also propose a way for updating (adding or removing) BGP communities information in our database. Thanks in advance. Best regards.

Can a Comcast.net email admin please contact me? One of your non-outermost email servers is running an SPF/SenderID filter (so all messages from domains with -all SPF/SenderID records are getting rejected, regardless of sending server). Thanks, Adam Stasiniewicz

I guess I mis-read Chiyoung's shorthand, i.e., "giga fiber", which I took to mean beaucoup fibers. Please excuse the noise. Frank A.

Unless I'm misreading the requirement, this sounds like a job for a Calient or a Glimmerglass optical switch, capable of non-intrusive bridging and/or insertion. For large jobs, in any case. A demo of the Glimmerglass device can be viewed on the company's "Government Signals Monitoring and Analysis" page: http://www.glimmerglass.com/defense.aspx Frank On Thu Nov 29 22:22 , "Christopher Morrow" sent: >On Nov 29, 2007 6:58 PM, Sean Donelan sean(a)donelan.com> wrote: >> On Fri, 30 Nov 2007, 정치영 wrote: >> > Because of some reasons, I have to install some giga fiber tap for packet >> > monitor into critical lan point, and the taps must be there permanently. >> >> Some folks speculate the NSA likes using ADC monitor and splitter modules >> http://www.adc.com/Library/Literature/104215AE.pdf >> >> I prefer using Netoptics network taps >> http://www.netoptics.com/ >> > >I've used both of these, I like them both, so 2 votes for these 2.... :)
