Standard for BGP community lists
by Steve Bertrand 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

Many ISPs publish community lists that go above-and-beyond standard route selection. Is there a standard for this? ie. I want my clients to utilize my s/rtbh setup as they see fit, for themselves. I'd also like my upstreams to do the same if necessary. Is there a consensus on which communities are used for these purposes? If so, which ones? otoh, is there such an engineer/network that has a client that they trust so much that they'd enable them to null a block for you globally, via community list? Steve

It sounds like the letter from the FBI to Burst.net specifically allowed for that possibility. "In the FBI's letter, the agency included a clause that says Web hosts and Internet service providers may voluntarily elect to shut down the sites of customers involved in these kinds of situations."

I'm pretty disappointed that an article of the Moon Battery's very low caliber is considered by anyone to be news, especially news worth citing on NANOG. These malformed packets should have matched a mental drop rule, or at the very least, invoked a 'reputable news source' query. Or, as our icanhazcheezburger friends would say... I can haz obvious political agenda? Nathan Eisenberg, Atlas Networks

Whois-RWS Released 17 July 2010
by Mark Kosters 19 Jul '10

<Apologies for the duplicate email but want to keep you informed about changes occurring at ARIN. This particular upgrade may be of interest to those who are not subscribed to arin-announce.> ----- Forwarded message from Member Services <info(a)arin.net> ----- From: Member Services <info(a)arin.net> Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2010 13:27:32 -0400 To: "arin-announce(a)arin.net" <arin-announce(a)arin.net> Subject: [arin-announce] Whois-RWS Released 17 July 2010 ARIN is pleased to announce the release of Whois-RWS. ARIN's Whois RESTful Web Service (Whois-RWS) is the directory service for accessing registration data contained within ARIN's registration database. Whois-RWS provides several improvements over ARIN's previous Whois service. Whois-RWS can easily be integrated into command line scripts similar to Whois or RWhois, or it can be accessed with a web browser. For those who rely on existing scripts and clients, ARIN will continue to maintain services for the NICNAME/WHOIS protocol on TCP/43. This is achieved by using a proxy service to translate traditional ARIN Whois queries into Whois-RWS queries. View service differences, a Whois-RWS FAQ, and API documentation at: https://www.arin.net/resources/whoisrws/ Important details on other features in development can be found at: https://www.arin.net/features/ Please send any questions, comments, or issues to: hostmaster(a)arin.net. Regards, Mark Kosters Chief Technical Officer American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) ----- End forwarded message -----
