Firehost as a cloud provider
by Bobby Mac 15 Jun '11

15 Jun '11

Anyone have experience with Firehost? I have a personal site that I am considering hosting with them and due to the content, am worried about security but don't want to spend the cycles building NIDs and HIDs for myself. I due need PCI compliance as well. If things take off, I'll look at a dedicated server solution but cloud for things while they are in beta seems to fit. Thanks, Bobbyjim

Dear Colleagues, The Internet Society has announced that it is inviting applications for its latest Internet Society Fellowships to the IETF, part of its Next Generation Leaders (NGL) programme (www.InternetSociety.org/Leaders) The Fellowship programme allows engineers from developing countries to attend an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) meeting. As you know, the IETF is the Internet's premier standards-making body, responsible for the development of protocols used in IP-based networks. IETF participants represent an international community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers involved in the technical operation of the Internet and the continuing evolution of Internet architecture. Fellowships will be awarded through a competitive application process. The Internet Society is currently accepting fellowship applications for the next two IETF meetings: * IETF 82, 13 - 18 Nov 2011, Taipei, TW * IETF 83, 25 - 30 March, Paris, FR http://www.isoc.org/educpillar/fellowship/index.php Fellowship applications for both IETF meetings are due by 15 July 2011. Please note that this fellowship is aimed at individuals from developing regions that possess a solid level of technical education and enough knowledge about concrete areas of IETF work to follow and benefit from the meeting’s technical discussions. I encourage you to pass on information about this program to individuals involved in your network that have a keen interest in the Internet standardisation activities of the IETF. The Internet Society Fellowships to the IETF are sponsored by Afilias, Google, Microsoft, and Intel. The Internet Society’s Next Generation Leaders programme is sponsored by Nominet Trust, the Association Française pour le Nommage Internet en Coopération (AFNIC), SIDN, and the European Commission.

Could a human being from SORBs please contact me off-list? Your robot isn't functional, and you are listing one of our ARIN allocations as dynamic, when it is not. (Yes, I know that 'no one uses' SORBs. Customers don't care.) Nathan

IPv6 day non-participants
by James Harr 15 Jun '11

15 Jun '11

I noticed that one of our vendors wasn't actually participating when they very publicly put on their home page that they would. So I queried the IPv6 day participation list to see who didn't have AAAA's for their listed website. It turned out to be around 9.5% Before you read the list, here's me shedding responsibility with a list of caveats: - The crappy perl script I am using might be broken. IE - it doesn't think about "foo.com" vs "www.foo.com", HTTP redirection, or any of that. - The organizations in this list may have withdrawn because they found out something was terribly broken. - DNS caching may be skewing the results if the TTLs are long. ==== SNIP ==== www.xiphiastec.com Xiphiastec www.pir.org Public Interest Registry www.exactabacus.com Exact Abacus www.comcast.net Comcast www.shazzlemail.com Shazzle, LLC www.bangzoom.com Bangzoom Software Inc www.mihostcgi.com mihostcgi www.unclesamnames.com American Domain Names opendns.com OpenDNS www.mutali.rw Mutali townnews.com TownNews www.infoblox.com Infoblox www.ripplecom.net Ripple Communications www.agame.com Spil Games www.alexville.com Alexville Games www.hkirc.hk Hong Kong Internet Registration Corporation www.hkdnr.hk Hong Kong Domain Name Registration www.buffalo.feb.gov United States Office of Personnel Management www.cyberport.hk Hong Kong Cyberport Management Ltd www.catnix.com CATNIX sucomo.com Sucomo OHG www.mybrighthouse.com BrightHouse Networks www.it-in.ru it-in ivancorp.net Ivanhoe-IT www.forestdaleinc.org Forestdale Inc www.towerstream.com Towerstream www.intuix.com Intuix LLC suse.org Novell Inc. www.IronNails.com IronNails Consultancy www.orbitdiensten.com Orbit-Diensten madonnaradio.com Voila www.gov.bc.ca Government of British Columbia www.zte.com.cn ZTE Corporation www.tamagawa.jp Tamagawa Academy & University -- ^[:wq^M

Question about migrating to IPv6 with multiple upstreams.
by Randy Carpenter 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

I have an interesting situation at a business that I am working on. We currently have the office set up with redundant connections for their mission critical servers and such, and also have a (cheap) cable modem for general browsing on client machines. The interesting part is that the client machines need to access some customer networks via the main redundant network, so we have a firewall set up to route those connections via the redundant connections, and everything else via the cheaper, faster cable modem. NAT is used on both outbound connections. With IPv6, we are having some trouble coming up with a way to do this. Since there is no NAT, does anyone have any ideas as to how this could be accomplished? In a nutshell: how do you have 2 upstream connections, and choose between them based on outbound destination? thanks, -Randy

Routing study - take 2
by Vytautas Valancius 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

Hi NANOG, >From June 20th to July 20th Georgia Tech will conduct an Internet routing study using AS-PATH poisoning. We will insert AS numbers into one of our announcements to route around some networks. The study will *only* affect the the Georgia Tech prefix 184.164.224.0/21. The prefix serves *no active users* for the duration of study. We will always start AS-PATH with our own AS 47065. We will limit ourselves to 10 announcement changes per hour. Similar studies were done before (e.g. by Randy Bush et al.: http://www.psg.com/~olaf/measurements/as3130/visibility.pdf) If, for any reason, you want us not to taint our prefix with you AS number, please opt-out at any time at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/WGLV6QR Regards, Vytautas Valancius http://valas.gtnoise.net/ Georgia Tech
