watchmy.net?
by Jeffrey Ollie 15 Apr '10

15 Apr '10

Can anyone log into watchmy.net and manage their account? Our network has changed so I need to get in and change my settings so that I stop getting bogus alerts. Unfortunately there seem to be some PHP coding errors so I can't log into the site. I've mailed bgp(a)watchmy.net (once on 1/14 and once on 3/25) but I've received no response, so I'm reduced to bothering everyone here. -- Jeff Ollie

Fiber Outage in Sunnyvale, CA.
by Shon Elliott 15 Apr '10

15 Apr '10

I heard there is a fiber outage in Sunnyvale that has taken out most of the city. Can someone from AT&T Provide any kind of clue on what's going on? I'm being told by one of our partners that their entire building is without service in Sunnyvale and apparently they've talked to other businesses in the area that have fiber-based services who are also down.

advertisements of 14/8 and 223/8
by Geoff Huston 15 Apr '10

15 Apr '10

Hi, APNIC and NTT are cooperating in a project to investigate the properties of unwanted traffic that is being sent to specific destinations in the address blocks of 14.0.0.0/8 and 223.0.0.0/8. These address blocks have been recently allocated to APNIC from the IANA, and APNIC and NTT are wanting to undertake this investigation prior to the commencement of ordinary allocations. Accordingly, APNIC has authorized AS38639 to advertise routes for 14.0.0.0/8 and 223.0.0.0/8 from now until 26 April 2010, and requests that AS38639's peers and upstreams accept this as a legitimate routing advertisement. thanks, Geoff Huston APNIC

comcast routing contact needed (wheeling/weirton, wv)
by jason jeffries 14 Apr '10

14 Apr '10

Can a router-handy person with Comcast contact me off-list? We have a customer that is having problems between a branch office on our network, and their HQ's Comcast connection--seems like packets from (at least) one particular IP on their net here are going awry in Comcast somewhere. Thanks! jason jeffries - jjeffries(a)labs.net labyrinth solutions - as26097

legacy /8
by Jeroen van Aart 14 Apr '10

14 Apr '10

I am curious. Once we're nearing exhausting all IPv4 space will there ever come a time to ask/demand/force returning all these legacy /8 allocations? I think I understand the difficulty in that, but then running out of IPs is also a difficult issue. :-) For some reason I sooner see all IPv4 space being exhausted than IPv6 being actually implemented globally. Greetings, Jeroen

Root Zone DNSSEC Deployment Technical Status Update
by Joe Abley 14 Apr '10

14 Apr '10

This is the fourth of a series of technical status updates intended to inform a technical audience on progress in signing the root zone of the DNS. RESOURCES Details of the project, including documentation published to date, can be found at http://www.root-dnssec.org/. We'd like to hear from you. If you have feedback for us, please send it to rootsign(a)icann.org. DOCUMENTATION The following draft document was recently published: - Resolver Testing with a DURZ - TCR - Proposed Approach to Root Key Management ICANN has begun the process of formally soliciting expressions of interest for volunteers from the technical community to act as Trusted Community Representatives. These volunteers will witness cryptographic key ceremonies and also carry out various important roles relating to KSK key management. For more information, see: http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-12apr10-en.htm Expressions of interest can be submitted here: http://www.root-dnssec.org/tcr/ DEPLOYMENT STATUS KSR exchanges continue between production platforms at VeriSign and ICANN. Build-out of KSK Key Ceremony facilities at ICANN continues, and both facilities (east- and west-coast USA) are expected to be ready on schedule. The incremental deployment of DNSSEC in the Root Zone is being carried out first by serving a Deliberately Unvalidatable Root Zone (DURZ), and subsequently by a conventionally signed root zone. Discussion of the approach can be found in the document "DNSSEC Deployment for the Root Zone", as well as in the technical presentations delivered at RIPE, NANOG, IETF and ICANN meetings. Twelve of the thirteen root servers have now made the transition to the DURZ. No harmful effects have been identified. Some early analysis of packet captures from many root servers surrounding each event was recently presented at the IETF meeting in Anaheim, CA, USA and can be found with other presentation materials at <http://www.root-dnssec.org/presentations/>. PLANNED DEPLOYMENT SCHEDULE Already completed: 2010-01-27: L starts to serve DURZ 2010-02-10: A starts to serve DURZ 2010-03-03: M, I start to serve DURZ 2010-03-24: D, K, E start to serve DURZ 2010-04-14: B, H, C, G, F start to serve DURZ To come: 2010-05-05: J starts to serve DURZ 2010-07-01: Distribution of validatable, production, signed root zone; publication of root zone trust anchor (Please note that this schedule is tentative and subject to change based on testing results or other unforeseen factors.) A more detailed DURZ transition timetable with maintenance windows can be found in the document "DNSSEC Deployment for the Root Zone", the most recent draft of which can be found on the project web page at <http://www.root-dnssec.org/>.

APNIC Allocated 14/8, 223/8 today
by Skeeve Stevens 14 Apr '10

14 Apr '10

Hey all, As the subject says, APNIC was allocated 14/8 and 223/8 today... which does seems a little close after 1/8 and 27/8 in January 2010 - since 1/8 hasn't started, I'm surprised about the new ones.

Re: Router for Metro Ethernet

> All of those numbers are straight forwarding with nothing turned on > and 64 > byte packets. That way you get a nice idea of what the CPU can do. They're also, as ever, unidirectional, so you can immediately halve them if your question is "what size pipe can I connect this device to?" As a VPN managed CE, with QoS, BGP, a little bit of IPSLA etc, I'm seeing a practical limit of around 70Mb/s bidirectional out of the 3845. Regards, Tim.

[NANOG-announce] The Evolution of NANOG
by Steve Feldman 13 Apr '10

13 Apr '10

Dear members of the NANOG community, Since its inception in 1994, the North American Network Operators Group (NANOG) has had its meetings and activities organized under the auspices of Merit, providing an incredible service to the North American region, and in fact, to the global Internet engineering community. The value of this work can not be easily overstated – it is likely that, absent Merit’s involvement, the pace of global Internet development would have significantly slowed and that the high levels of Internet performance that we all enjoy today would not have come to pass. Several periods of evolution have marked the Merit/NANOG relationship. The most significant inflections have been the sharp growth in NANOG attendance in the late 1990s, the increasing importance of the NANOG mailing list as a method of inter-carrier communication, the utilization of NANOG meetings as a conduit of communications between major government entities and the Internetworking community, and the 2004-2005 Charter Process where NANOG took a significant step towards self-governance while remaining a Merit activity. Through the successive evolutions, Merit has stayed loyal to the ideals of NANOG, providing staff to administer conferences; administer servers to host presentations, mailing lists, and archives from the early days of the Internet; funds to pay for all of NANOG’s activities; and, equally as important, entering into contract obligations on NANOG’s behalf for meeting venue hotels, at times taking on significant contract liability. Since the beginning of this relationship, one constant has been the gratitude of NANOG’s membership and governance communities towards Merit for their dedication, hard work and financial commitment. Starting from the ratification of the 2005 NANOG Charter, the membership of NANOG has worked hard to establish self-governance institutions including our Steering Committee, Program Committee, Communications Committee, and Marketing Working Group. These institutions have acquired experience and resilience over the past five years and matured to the point of self-governance. The Steering Committee believes the time has come for NANOG to continue its natural evolution toward an independent organization. We are therefore beginning the process of creating a non-profit, tax- exempt entity that will produce NANOG conferences, administer the NANOG mailing list, and expand our educational mission. A re- structuring of the NANOG/Merit relationship allows each organization to focus on the direct needs of its respective constituency. This effort is still in the preliminary stages. Our intention is to work jointly with Merit to devise a transition plan and a transition timeline before NANOG 49 in June of this year. This transition will be gradual and designed to ensure a seamless handover of responsibility to the new entity, minimizing changes seen by the community as a whole. The governance and committee structure will be left largely intact, with our current charter converted into a set of governing bylaws. We expect to hold a community vote to ratify the new bylaws and structure during the annual October election. We expect there will be many questions and concerns raised regarding this process, and suggest that the nanog-futures mailing list is the appropriate venue for discussion. (See https://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog-futures for subscription information.) We also encourage you to share reactions directly with the Steering Committee. In the next few days, the Communications Committee will create and post a Frequently Asked Questions page. We will also hold an extended community meeting during NANOG 49 to review progress and discuss the transition. One thing that won’t change throughout the course of this next evolution is the gratitude of the NANOG membership for the hard work and support that the Merit board, staff, and member institutions have provided to us over the course of the last 16 years. For the NANOG leadership, Steve Feldman (Steering Committee chair) Patrick W. Gilmore (SC member) Sylvie LaPerrière (SC member) Joe Provo (SC member) Robert Seastrom (SC member) Duane Wessels (SC member) David Meyer (Program Committee chair) Tom Daly (PC vice chair) _______________________________________________ NANOG-announce mailing list NANOG-announce(a)nanog.org https://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog-announce
