Solutions for DoS & DDoS
by Mike Gatti 15 Dec '12

15 Dec '12

Hello Everyone, I'm assisting a non-profit organization to research solutions to secure their network from DOS/DDOS attacks. So far we have gone the route of discussing with their ISP's to see what solutions they have to offer, believing that the carriers are better positioned to block the attack from the source. I wanted to get the lists thoughts on our approach going the carrier route and/or hear about successful implementation of other solutions. Thanks, -- Michael Gatti 949.371.5474 (UTC -8)

OpenFlow, please don't start a flame war...

It's been about 2 years in since I've heard about the concept, and honestly I'm about ready to jump into test environments at my house. My questions are pretty basic, what distro would you recommend for a controller, and should I start by virtualizing in VMWare or HyperV or jump into some cheap Linksys WRT routers. The more I hear about the tech from colleges, Google, BigSwitch, etc is leaning me to really start learning, so any help would appreciated. 24 Hagerty Boulevard, Unit 10, West Chester PA 19382P: 610-429-8200 | F: 610-429-3222 | E: sales(a)truenet.com

Re: IP Address Management IPAM software for small ISP

Thanks Jeremy - looks pretty good, and specific, and I like the DNS integration. I haven't downloaded or installed it yet. Do you think it's robust enough for a 24x7 Network Operations Center that has 8 or so users? Is the database a flat file that is easily backed up and restored? or are you using MySQL? Much appreciated, Eric ________________________________ From: Jeremy Malli <jmalli(a)mammothnetworks.com> To: nanog(a)nanog.org; elouie(a)yahoo.com Sent: Thu, December 13, 2012 8:26:17 AM Subject: Re: IP Address Management IPAM software for small ISP A colleague and myself wrote one in PHP that supports v4 and v6.

Looking to see if anyone has 2U of space available at 1102 Grand in Kansas City. We are looking to rack up a router and get a couple single mode cross connects, nothing huge but will be long term and we would expect a contract to be worked out. Joshua Hoppes Network Engineer Cedar Falls Utilities

Why do some providers require IPv6 /64 PA space to have public whois?
by Constantine A. Murenin 13 Dec '12

13 Dec '12

Hello, I personally don't understand this policy. I've signed up with hetzner.de, and I'm trying to get IPv6; however, on the supplementary page where the complementary IPv6 /64 subnet can be requested (notice that it's not even a /48, and not even the second, routed, /64), after I change the selection from requesting one additional IPv4 address to requesting the IPv6 /64 subnet (they offer no other IPv6 options in that menu), they use DOM to remove the IP address justification field ("Purpose of use"), and instead statically show my name, physical street address (including the apartment number), email address and phone number, and ask to confirm that all of this information can be submitted to RIPE. They offer no option of modifying any of this; they also offer no option of hiding the street address and showing it as "Private Address" instead; they also offer no option of providing contact information different from the contact details for the main profile or keeping a separate set of contact details in the main profile specifically for RIPE; they also offer no option of providing a RIPE handle instead (dunno if one can be registered with a "Private Address" address, showing only city/state/country and postal code; I do know that with ARIN and PA IPv4 subnets you can do "Private Address" in the Address field); they also don't let you submit the form unless you agree for the information shown to be passed along to RIPE for getting IPv6 connectivity (again, no IPv6 is provided by default or otherwise). Is this what we're going towards? No probable cause and no court orders for obtaining individually identifying information about internet customers with IPv6 addresses? In the future, will the copyright trolls be getting this information directly from public whois, bypassing the internet provider abuse teams and even the most minimal court supervision? Is this really the disadvantage of IPv4 that IPv6 proudly fixes? I certainly have never heard of whois entries for /32 IPv4 address allocations! Anyhow, just one more provider where it's easier to use HE's tunnelbroker.net instead of obtaining IPv6 natively; due to the data-mining and privacy concerns now. What's the point of native IPv6 connectivity again? In hetzner.de terms, tunnelbroker.net even provides you with the failover IPv6 address(es), something that they themselves only offer for IPv4! Is it just me, or are there a lot of other folks who use tunnelbroker.net even when their ISP offers native IPv6 support? Might be interesting for HE.net to make some kind of a study. :-) Cheers, Constantine.
