It's not a question of if but when IPv6 will be used on large scale in the interned. So, form the educational side it's beneficial if students learn about IPv6. So much for the theory I did quite a number of presentations on IPv6 some of them in at university in Germany (not as some official talk but some user group / some students asked me too). Some quotes: "We don't' have time for this." "Well our network equipment is 14 years old, we don't have a budget for new stuff." "We'll implement IPv6 in 13 years, it's when my colleague retires." /me: "Cool. You have IPv6." Professor: "I configured the tunnel myself. Our network people don't this the topic."

AS36561 to announce 27.128.0.0/12
by Nathan Hickson 17 Mar '10

17 Mar '10

Similar to the 1.0.0.0/8 experiment... YouTube (only AS36561) will be announcing 27.128.0.0/12 to allow APNIC to study backscatter/traffic to this unallocated space in ipv4 land. We'll start in the next 24 hours. This range is obviously less interesting than 1.x, but figured I'd let you all know anyway. :) Cheers. -- Nathan Hickson AS36561 - YouTube AS15169 - Google

OBESEUS - A new type of DDOS protector
by Guillaume FORTAINE 17 Mar '10

17 Mar '10

Misters, Let me introduce myself : Guillaume FORTAINE, Engineer in Computer Science. I am currently working on High-Speed Network Security Solutions. DDoS is considered as "The Mother of All Cyber Threats" [1] therefore I have intensively studied this topic. By the way, I have read with interest the NANOG mails [2] [3] [4] and the Linkedin groups [5] [6] on this subject. Being an FPGA engineer, I approached this concern from an algorithmic point of view and that's why I would greatly appreciate to have your comments on this project, if possible, please : "OBESEUS - A new type of DDOS protector" [7] http://www.loud-fat-bloke.co.uk/obeseus2.pdf For a better overview of the background of the project, please see the following document : "INQUIRY INTO EU POLICY ON PROTECTING EUROPE FROM LARGE SCALE CYBER-ATTACKS" http://www.parliament.uk/documents/upload/F012Interoute121109.pdf I look forward to your answer, Best Regards, [1] http://events.linkedin.com/Webcast-DDoS-Mother-All-Cyber-Threats/pub/171074 [2] http://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2009-November/014963.html [3] http://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2010-January/016675.html [4] http://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2010-January/017604.html [5] http://www.linkedin.com/groups?home=&gid=2040519 [6] http://www.linkedin.com/groups?home=&gid=2632190 [7] http://www.loud-fat-bloke.co.uk/obeseus.html Guillaume FORTAINE Tel : +33(0)631092519

L2TPv3 Vendor Support
by Brad Fleming 17 Mar '10

17 Mar '10

Hello all, We've run across a project that requires support for several (ie: 10-20) L2TPv3 tunnels due to user needs/constraints. As far as I can tell, the only major vendor supporting L2TPv3 features at this time is Cisco; however, I openly admit that I'm not very familiar with the more traditional service provider offerings. While I'd love to drop a ton of cash on some new Cisco gear, I'm afraid that will push our budget over the limit. Is there a box out there with decent port density at a reasonable price that supports L2TPv3? It doesn't need a TON of management features.. it'll only be used as an L2TPv3 aggregator. I very much appreciate any suggestions or insights. -- Brad Fleming
