------------------------ You might want to consider putting up a speedtest server internal to your network. I know there is a fee but well worth it I believe. You will ------------------------ I would consider NDT as well: www.internet2.edu/performance/ndt Last I checked, about 3 years ago, speedtest sent only latin text in large packets. NDT tests much more. The customers just use a web browser and the only caveat is they need to have Java working. Here's one to get a feeling of what your customers will see: http://ndt.anl.gov:7123 scott

Open Resolver Problems
by Jared Mauch 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

All, Open resolvers pose a security threat. I wanted to let everyone know about a search tool that can help you find the ones within your organization. Treat it like a big "BETA" stamp is across it, but please try it out and see if you can close down any hosts within your network. This threat is larger than the SMURF amplification attacks in the past and can result in some quite large attacks. I've seen this spilling out into other mailing lists (e.g.: juniper-nap and others). Please send feedback about links that should be included or documentation and spelling errors to me. openresolverproject.org Some basic stats: 27 million resolvers existed as of this dataset collection only 2.1 million of them were "closed". We have a lot to do to close the hosts, please do what you can to help. Thanks, - Jared

New Product Launch from 2600hz
by Joshua Goldbard 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

Hello, Normally I wouldn't bother the respected members of NANOG with a product launch email, but this is such a unique application that I felt it was necessary. 2600hz is saying goodbye to SMS, Voice and even Video. Today we're launching a service we'd like to call BrainRTC. It's going to completely revolutionize communications. Check it out here: http://blog.2600hz.com/post/46886639094/voice-and-video-are-dead-heres-the-… Cheers, Joshua Joshua Goldbard VP of Marketing, 2600hz 116 Natoma Street, Floor 2 San Francisco, CA, 94104 415.886.7923 | j(a)2600hz.com<mailto:j@2600hz.com>

BCP38 tester?
by Jay Ashworth 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

Is there a program which users can run on an end-site workstation which would test whether they are being some link which is doing BCP38, or some related type of source-address ingress filtering? I'm hoping for something that could be downloaded by users and run, and try to forge a few packets to somewhere useful, which could be logged somehow in conjunction with some unforged packets containing a traceroute, so we could build up a database of leaky networks. On a related topic, while I know GRC Research's Steve Gibson is a bit of a polarizing personality, he does have a fairly sizable consumer audience, and might be a great distribution venue for such a thing. Or, perhaps, is there someone on here from Ookla? Patrick? Could Akamai be persuaded to take an interest in this as a research project? Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

FW: Open Resolver Problems
by Milt Aitken 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

Most of our DSL customers have modem/routers that resolve DNS externally. And most of those have no configuration option to stop it. So, we took the unfortunate step of ACL blocking DNS requests to & from the DSL network unless the requests are to our DNS servers. Suboptimal, but it stopped the DNS amplification attacks. -----Original Message----- From: Mikael Abrahamsson [mailto:swmike@swm.pp.se] Sent: Monday, April 01, 2013 11:51 AM To: Chris Boyd Cc: nanog(a)nanog.org Subject: Re: Open Resolver Problems On Mon, 1 Apr 2013, Chris Boyd wrote: > Just back to the office, and started checking my networks.

If you buy "type of box" mean "small SOHO NAT router which does DNS resolving on the WAN interface" then I'd say "a lot". Someone does a rollout of new software and configuration and happens to mess up the config file (or the vendor just happens to enable global dns resolving in the new software) and this slips through testing, then you're there. I believe this happens all the time. That's why the publication of these lists are important, in a lot of cases there are a lot of people who are simply not aware of these devices doing this, and they need to be poked to notice. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike(a)swm.pp.se

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, team. Apologies to those of you seeing this in multiple forums.
