The folks at ARIN are actually quite helpful in answering policy questions and helping folks navigate or understand the various ARIN processes. My policy information may not be complete and may or may not address your specific needs. The ARIN staff is a much more authoritative source. Owen

OT -- seeking a knowledgable AS 701 technical contact.
by Robert Bonomi 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

Apologies for the noise, but I have been absolutely unable -- despite literally *hours* of trying --to contact anyone at _any_ of the published Verizon Business phone numbers who has any comprehension of what I am talking about -- to wit: "I am looking for someone with _any_ awareness/knowledge of Verizon Business's public-access anonymous FTP server, with the hostname 'ftp.uu.net'." The published Verizon Business technical contact number -- both in 'whois' for uu.net, and Jared's NOC contact list is only the 'ticket center', and won't open a ticket for someone who is not Verizon customer. "Customer service" doesn't know what 'ftp' is, and vacillates between thinking it is a circuit problem, or that I am having a problem with -my- domain. Call-transfer to 'technical support' was answered by someone handling 'delinquent payments'. Another transfer attempt ended up on somebody's cell phone.

I realize there are others that have different opinions, but I really don't want to engage in that debate here. ARIN policy currently does not provide for transfer of AS numbers other than through NRPM 8.2 for merger/acquisition. Martin Hannigan proposed the following: http://lists.arin.net/pipermail/arin-ppml/2011-September/023136.html which is on the AC docket as Proposal 158. Personally, I do not favor this proposal. I don't think there is good reason to allow the transfer of ASNs and I think that allowing transfers of IPv6 numbers is a really bad idea. However, anyone with an interest in this proposal, whether in favor or opposed should bring their opinion to arin-ppml. > Would you refer me to the current ARIN policy regarding transfers of > or updates to ASN registrations? > Updates are processed through the standard ARIN-online process like updates to any other number resources.

Could a Comcast DNS admin please contact me off-list? We're seeing lots of queries from local Comcast resolvers for a domain which we haven't hosted in nearly a year. Thanks, Steve

IP Options
by harbor235 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

Is it just me or has there been an increase in packets with IP options set hitting our front door? There are ways to mitigate e.g. IP options selective discard, and ACL IP options support. ACL entries on the edge appear to be the best way identify and log the source. IP options selective discard drops packets silently so from my view they are not as effective. Is anyone doing anything else to identify and mitigate? I have been seeing hits on our firewalls but would rather take care of it at our edge with little or no impact. Mike

Arguing against using public IP space
by Jason Lewis 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

I don't want to start a flame war, but this article seems flawed to me. It seems an IP is an IP. http://www.redtigersecurity.com/security-briefings/2011/9/16/scada-vendors-… I think I could announce private IP space, so doesn't that make this argument invalid? I've always looked at private IP space as more of a resource and management choice and not a security feature.
