Syria blackout?
by Rafael Cresci 31 May '12

31 May '12

Customers (from UAE) who have servers with us in Atlanta - one of the companies I work for, remaining anonymus for the moment - are reporting that their sub-customers and viewers from Syria can't access FTP or download any kind of Flash/video/multimedia content from inside that country. Completely blocked. Anyone confirms? Another government blockage to avoid social captiruing of massacre videos and photos?

Need (to acquire or sell) IPv4? Come to SpaceMarket.
by The SpaceMarket 31 May '12

31 May '12

IPv4 is not going away as quickly as many would like. Most realistic observations show IPv4 will still be the numbering scheme most widely deployed and utilized for the next decade. This due mainly to peers and providers whom have not deployed IPv6 and ISP end-users, which continue to use, antiquated operating systems. SpaceMarket provides a platform for entities to acquire additional resources that find themselves deficient, and a platform for those with excess/unused resources to monetize their valuable resources. Our platform is safe, secure and confidential. Buyers and sellers can rest assured that their trades will be executed without a hitch (no hijacked network ranges or scammers) as each network allocation available has been thoroughly investigated and tested (we’re either announcing or have announced the networks available for an extended period of time), and upon request by either the buyer or seller, SpaceMarket will serve as an escrow agent for the transaction. Currently (as of this writing), there we have just over 150,000 addresses available for immediate use. This may seem like a low number, but allocations are listed and acquired daily using our automated system—we don’t have to be involved in your transaction. In order to provide our services without hassle and confidentially, we provide access to our trading platform via Tor (as a Tor Hidden Service). This allows our members to connect freely and without worry as to who may be monitoring your online activities or visitors to our site. Additionally, access to the site is restricted to active members of our trading community. For more information on our service, site URL or membership please e-mail us at spacemarket(a)tormail.org. We look forward to assisting you with your IPv4 needs! Please use our public key (below) when corresponding via E-mail.

(noting, nlnetlabs for unbound and nsd also use a BSD-like license, so ISC is not alone here.) > No telling how effective constent self-promotion is.

Help us to help you debug networks
by Nick McKeown 30 May '12

30 May '12

Dear Colleague, I am writing to ask you to help us.... so that we might help you. My group at Stanford University is building open source tools to automatically diagnose network failures such as reachability problems, networks loops, and traffic congestion. Our goal is to create tools that are useful to people who own and operate real production networks. Would you be willing to fill out a quick 5-minute survey to help us with our research? I know we all get asked to fill out a lot of these surveys - our goal here is to learn from you, so we can help you in your job, and help the community more broadly. To test our ideas, and to help us build tools that would be useful to you, we need your input: We want to know what network problems you deal with in your network. We plan to publish the results of our survey in an anonymized, aggregated form that you might find useful, along with our research results. Please feel free to forward this email. You can find the survey at http://svy.mk/NetDebug Many thanks. We really appreciate your time. - Nick -------------------------- Professor of Computer Science Stanford University

yahoo uk & ireland contact
by Athanasios Douitsis 30 May '12

30 May '12

Hi, Could someone from engineer from yahoo uk & ireland please contact me off-list? I am the admin of a provider with ~25000 DSL users in Greece. For some months now, yahoo cannot be accessed correctly from our newly acquired IP block 37.32.128.0/17. Reportedly, the problem appears when talking to 217.146.187.123 but doesn't appear when talking to 217.12.8.76. Even the contact mail registered with RIPE (uk-abuse(a)cc.yahoo-inc.com) returns an automated response saying they don't read mail from that address. Regards to all, Athanasios Douitsis

Comcast Service for Non-Cap Bandwidth
by Nabil Sharma 30 May '12

30 May '12

NANOG List, I am developing streaming video service, and seek your feedback... I would like to pay Comcast forward so that accessing our site does not count against user's bandwidth caps, similar to the arrangement made with Microsoft Xbox. Does anyone know the name of this service? Is it something the sales contact at http://as7922.peeringdb.com/ can provide? Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Nabil
