Interesting debugging: Specific packets cause some Intel gigabit ethernet controllers to reset
by Kristian Kielhofner 08 Feb '13

08 Feb '13

Over the year I've read some interesting (horrifying?) tales of debugging on NANOG. It seems I finally have my own to contribute: http://blog.krisk.org/2013/02/packets-of-death.html The strangest issue I've experienced, that's for sure. -- Kristian Kielhofner

2-Channel CWDM Add/Drop with SC/APC connectors
by Chuck Anderson 08 Feb '13

08 Feb '13

Years ago I was able to purchase 2-Channel CWDM Plug-In 1-Wavelength Optical Add/Drop Multiplexors from Finisar with SC/APC connectors on them, even though they normally only make the SC/PC version shown here: FWSF-OADM-1-xx-SC http://www.finisar.com/products/passives/MUX-DEMUX/CWDM_OADM-1_Plug-in_Modu… but they won't do the SC/APC version for me now. Does anyone know of a good alternative? There are lots of options for modular/rack mount 2-Channel CWDM Add/Drops that have SC/PC or LC/PC connectors made for data networks. There are also lots of options for 1-Channel SC/APC or LC/APC modules made for CATV applications. But I'm having trouble finding 2-Channel versions with APC connectors that I can use with data equipment + CATV transmission on the same ring. I know I could combine two separate 1-Channel OADMs, but I prefer the integrated, modular solution. A bonus would be to find an alternative that fits in my existing Finisar 2-slot 1U chassis. In any case, I'm open to hearing about all options. Actually, I already have the 1490nm OADM in the SC/PC version, and I suppose I could cut off the connectors re-terminate with SC/APC and replace the bulkhead connectors with the green ones. My preferred fiber contractor doesn't have experience with terminating APC connectors though. Is it that much harder to terminate the angled connectors? Thanks, Chuck

Can anyone recommended ddos mitigation companies with US east coast presence that provide the services via bgp? We are not interested in an appliance but rather offloading the traffic. Thanks.

I'll make a note of that, but, for what its worth, I wouldn't expect to need to look for an end-user application package in a language-specific repository, which is why I had no idea it was available. I think you're shorting yourself by putting it there instead of in the mainline OSS repo. That said, thanks much for packaging it; it wasn't packaged in past years, and it was a PITA that it was not.

I will be following this guide: > http://blog.bestpractical.com/2011/07/upgrading-to-rt-4.html About the wiki, it's largely me you're complaining about, so you got the right guy: I did a large bolus of rework on it around 3.8 release time, and have not been using rt-due to job changes-since, so I haven't gotten around to reworking it again for 4.x. If I get a full-time $DAYJOB I'm in the running for right now, that will likely change, as I'll be rolling out 4.0 for there, and updating/merging the current doco to the wiki.

Global caches
by Kyle Camilleri 07 Feb '13

07 Feb '13

Dear Nanog Community, Some CDN providers such as Akamai and Google (often called Global Google Cache) are offering caches to ISPs. It is very convenient for small ISPs to alleviate bandwidth towards the provider, but also the CDN provider benefits by putting source of data closer to the user resulting in far better performance. Does anybody know of any other CDN providers that offer similar caches? Looking forward for your replies. Regards, Kyle
