When was email *ever* expected to be real-time? If you need real time, use IM (the clue is in the "I"), or pick up the phone. Part of the beauty of email is that it doesn't require all participants to be connected at the same time, and everyone can deal with it when it's convenient to *them*, not convenient to the sender. Use the right communication tool for the right job. I can remember email being batch-transferred over dial-up lines, hop-by-hop, and taking hours or even days to cross the globe - and I'm a long way from being an Internet "old-timer". Regards, Tim.

Hi, any known problems with reachability from europe to US? We have customer complaints that they can't reach US-based sites like microsoft and others. Seems to be only source-prefix-based, but several ISPs in europe are affected. Or is the same problem visible in the states? Regards, Thomas

Would someone from Amazon mind contacting me off-list. I have some questions on the best way to pass traffic to Flexible Payments Service (Amazon FPS) and my e-mails to the contacts within peeringdb.com have gone unanswered. Cheers Ryan

[NANOG-announce] NANOG election results and other news
by Steve Feldman 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

As usual for our October meetings, there has been a lot happening, with more to come over the next few days. Our annual election was held during NANOG 50, with these results: - Patrick Gilmore, Robert Seastrom, and Richard Steenbergen were elected to two-year terms on the NANOG SC (and also therefore to the NewNOG Board.) - The charter amendment to transition NANOG activities from Merit to NewNOG passed with 210 votes in favor, 16 votes against. - In the NewNOG election, the measure to adopt the Bylaws passed with 169 votes in favor, 26 against. I have been elected by the SC to serve again as Chair for the coming year, and Sylvie LaPerriere was elected as Vice-Chair. The Program Committee selection process is underway, and the results will be announced in the next day so. Nominations are still open for Communications Committee positions. I would like to encourage any of you who regularly participate in the mailing list and are interested in maintaining list quality and in building new forms of communication for the community to consider volunteering. Please see: http://www.nanog.org/governance/elections/2010elections/ for further information on the selection process. For the Steering Committee, Steve Feldman, chair _______________________________________________ NANOG-announce mailing list NANOG-announce(a)nanog.org https://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog-announce

DNS/Proxy based DDoS protection
by Drew Weaver 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

Hi, Over the last several years I've noticed there seems to be no limit to the number of proxy/DNS based DDoS protection services springing up all over the place so I am wondering if anyone has any insights on what sorts of tools, etc these companies use to provide this service (Open Source, Commercial?) and if anyone has any thoughts or experiences regarding the effectiveness of these types of services to protect HTTP services. thanks, -Drew

Scam telemarketers spoofing our NOC phone number for callerid
by Matthew Huff 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

We have recently gotten complaints of harrassing and high pressure sales scams orginating from our NOC's phone number. Since the number is a virtual number on the PBX, it can't be used for outgoing calls. I assume the scammers choose the number from the whois db. Anyone else seen this happening? Any suggestions on whom we should contact? ---- Matthew Huff | One Manhattanville Rd OTA Management LLC | Purchase, NY 10577 http://www.ox.com | Phone: 914-460-4039 aim: matthewbhuff | Fax: 914-460-4139
