Well, Those poor guys are under perma DNS Amplifcation DDoS for what seems to be 2 weeks now. About 7 days ago they started sending us emails for what is less than 2MB worth of data (~500 packets) which is about how long it takes for filters to take effect. But after 1 week of communication they are not changing their procedures :( Anyone else receiving those emails? ----- Since most providers (at any level) are not putting any effort on BCP38. Is there a [Spoofing Tracking Squad] out there? ( We're on GT-T/nLayer/Tinet ) -- ----- Alain Hebert ahebert(a)pubnix.net PubNIX Inc. 50 boul. St-Charles P.O.

AOL Email Blocking
by Robert Webb 24 Jan '14

24 Jan '14

A while back I enlisted help for setting up a small email list server. It is now complete but only AOL is blocking my outbound email. Using their tools they did not report my IP as having a bad reputation. I applied for white listing my single IP and provided ALL the necessary feedback and white listing was denied. Can anyone here point me to someone to get this fixed. It is a small private email list for a local fire department with all consenting recipients. Robert

Sorry for the noise, but we are looking for somebody that can help us track down a single IP address that is seemingly blackholed by TW/RR in a core somewhere in Atlanta. We have verified that the IP doesn't have any abuse history and isn't blackholed from our end. Just started this morning. Any assistance is appreciated.

L2TPv3 - and layer 2 PDU's
by Philip Lavine 24 Jan '14

24 Jan '14

To all, Has anyone successfully tunneled L2 PDU's (STP, CDP, LLDP) over a L2TPv3 pseudowire tunnel, i.e. should I be able to see CDP neighbors across the tunnel? For some reason if I encapsulated dot1q on a router sub-interface and try and pass traffic across the trunk the downstream switch port will go into err-disable. Thx Philip

bcp38.info wiki signup problem

A kind soul has just pointed out to me that the register link on the BCP38 wiki: http://www.bcp38.info/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Main+Page&… isn't, um, working right now. I guess that might explain the lack of contributions. Oops. We'll get right on that, folks. :-} Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

NetSol opts domain customers into $1800 Security program?
by Jay Ashworth 23 Jan '14

23 Jan '14

Brent Simmons is not given to ridiculous overreaction, nor is Lauren. If you have domains registered with NetSol's registrar, it seems you should probably do your diligence on this yourself: http://inessential.com/2014/01/21/network_solutions_auto-enroll_1_850 I have not been fond of NetSol since they kidnapped everyone's free domains back in ... what, 1996 or 7, and started charging for them; I moved to Domain Discover almost immediately... but this seems *wildly* over the top. How many domains do *you* have? Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

bcp38.info -- Heeeeellpp!!! :-)
by Jay Ashworth 23 Jan '14

If you run an eyeball or transit network, and you are already implementing BCP38 filtering, could I get you to take a moment, and apply some love to http://www.bcp38.info/index.php/Information_for_%27eyeball%27_networks or http://www.bcp38.info/index.php/Information_for_transit_providers this weekend? I'm hoping for something similar in style and overall content to http://www.bcp38.info/index.php/Information_for_end-users though in a bit more detail, as you'd expect for the people who have to actually turn the knobs. Instructions on how to enable 38 compliant filtering for specific gear are welcome as well, but should be put each in their own article. Since I don't myself actually know the things necessary to write those pages, I am sadly reduced to cheerleading you guys to do it. :-) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

The calls are being blocked... well, they'd have to be being blocked *before they get to your gaining carrier, I guess, right? That nearly *requires* the code to be in the LERG, so the originating CO can execute it. We have some people here who know the LERG back and fro; Paul? Anyone else? You ever heard of this? Can you originate a call to that number from a different carrier via PRI, and see which ISDN error you get back? Or have someone else call it that way? ISDN errors tend to have a bit more data in them. I'd do it, but I don't have any PRIs laying around anymore. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
