Abusive traffic from Microsoft China?
by David Hubbard 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

Just wondering if anyone else is seeing huge random floods of traffic from: inetnum: 202.96.51.128 - 202.96.51.255 netname: MICROSOFT-CO descr: Microsft (China) Co.Ltd country: CN admin-c: CH455-AP tech-c: SY21-AP mnt-by: MAINT-CNCGROUP-BJ changed: suny(a)publicf.bta.net.cn 20060926 status: ALLOCATED NON-PORTABLE source: APNIC changed: suny(a)publicf.bta.net.cn 20060926 On a nearly daily basis we see them randomly open thousands of connections from a variety of addresses in that block to multiple servers. I've emailed of coruse but that results in nothing. Probably will just end up blocking them. Thanks, David

Least Sucky Backbone Provider
by Gregory Boehnlein 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

Good morning, I'm considering dropping Cogent completely out of my transit mix, as the number of outages and problems they have been experienced over the past year has reached an unacceptable level. It has gotten to the point that we their BGP session is shutdown for longer periods than it is on. Based on the availability of on-net fiber in my facility, I have narrowed the field to the following candidates: 1. Level 3 2. MCI/Verizon 3. AT&T I'm looking for comments from actual customers of the above providers in relation to; 1. Network reliability and performance 2. Responsiveness to outages 3. Proactive notification of network maintenance 95% of our traffic mix is US48 in nature, so International routes are not a huge decision point.

Brief update [Re: routeviews down?]
by David Meyer 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

I'm down in the Oregon Hall switch room and what I see is that it appears one of the power transfer switches we had failed and shorted out between two UPSs. Most things are back up, with the notable exception of archive.routeviews.org (which is fscking at the moment; which is going to take awhile). I'll update you all as soon as I have additional information. Thank you for your patience, and sorry about the inconvenience. Dave

Getting DSL at your datacenter for OOB
by David Ulevitch 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

NANOG, We've been trying to get DSL (instead of dial-up via a POTS line) at our datacenters for out-of-band access. We had a great experience doing this with Sonic.net at PAIX in Palo Alto but have had no success at our other sites. (Sonic.net isn't a national DSL provider) Has anyone found providers who can provision DSL circuits at: EQNX ASH, the MMR at 111 8th, and the Westin in Seattle? Speakeasy, after trying valiantly, finally just gave up saying they just couldn't make it happen. Thanks, David Ulevitch

NANOG 42 Call For Presentation
by Todd Underwood 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

[puts NANOG Program Committee Chair hat on...] As many of you are aware, NANOG 42 will be held in San Jose, California on February 17-20, 2008. The NANOG Program Committee (PC) is actively soliciting talks for that event. The full CFP is already posted at: http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0802/callforpresent.html Many of you will recognize that it doesn't change very much from NANOG to NANOG. On the PC we have noticed that the content of the CFP really has very little to do with the presentations that we get, so we've put most of our effort into recruiting presentations, and less into rewriting the CFP. Review it for ideas, but don't be restricted by it. As usual, we're seeking presentations by and for network operators of all sizes. We want to see presentations about difficult problems (and interesting solutions) that you encounter in the course of your job. We know it's always easier to get presentations from people who are paid to do it (vendors, marketing people) but attendees of previous NANOG conferences tell us that the best presentations are frequently by fellow operators. If you think you have an interesting topic but want some feedback or some help working it into a presentation, please email me and I'll make sure that someone on the PC gives you the feedback you need to work your idea into a presenatation worth giving. What do you get if you present? A free pass to NANOG, rock star status among your peers, and a permanent place of fame on the Internet. Also note that NANOG43 will be held in the New York City metro area (Brooklyn, specifically) on June 1-4 next year, so mark your calendars. If you cannot present at San Jose, the PC is already actively soliciting talks for Brooklyn as well. Key dates for NANOG 42: 8-Nov-07 - Web tool open to accept early submissions (we hope). http://www.nanogpc.org/ [Rolling evaluation of talks begins] 8-Jan-07 - Final presentations due. Get talks in early to improve your odds of acceptace. 15-Jan-08 - Last scheduled PC call to finalize the agenda 17-Jan-08 - final agenda posted to NANOG mailing list with [Lighting talk evaluations beings] 17-Feb-08 - NANOG 42 beings! Final note: The Program Committee has recently begun keeping and posting minutes of our calls at http://nanog.org/pc.html . We will post notices of those meetings on the nanog-futures mailing list, as I think they'd be off-topic for nanog. More information on joining nanog-futres is evailable at: http://www.nanog.org/email.html thanks, t. -- _____________________________________________________________________ todd underwood +1 603 643 9300 x101 renesys corporation general manager babbledog todd(a)renesys.com http://www.renesys.com/blog
