GApps admin = rogered
by Blair Trosper 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Just a heads up to our friends at Google Apps. Despite the status page saying all is peachy: http://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en&v=status ...the administration page for any Google Apps for domains is totally rogered. It's either an endless redirect loop or a deluge of errors. I'd call for premium support, but I can't even see that. Again, a friendly heads up and nudge that perhaps the status page should at least be updated to reflect the fact that it's non-operational.

Strategies for migrating lots of customers into L3VPN / route-leaking [x-post from j-nsp]
by Daniel Rohan 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

[apologies for the x-post-- I didn't get any responses from the j-nsp list, so I thought I'd try a larger audience- edited to remove some juniper jargon] Hi all, I'm working on virtualizing a regional network with about 500 customer sites into an L3VPN. All of my customer routes (plus our internet routes) currently exist in the global table on our routers. The end-state I’d like to achieve is to have our provider's Internet routes isolated into a VRF and our customers isolated into their own VRF with vrf-import policies leaking the routes between the two. Before someone asks “why?” I’ll just stop that and say that it’s likely that in the near future I’ll have different customer classes demanding different upstream providers on the same physical gear but still wanting the same path/latency to the other customer classes we provide today. So- I’d like to move our customer routes piecemeal into a VRF in as controlled a way as possible without causing network segmentation or having to constrain traffic through specific paths. That way we could move reasonable sections of the network into the L3VPN over a period of a few weeks. My first thought was to set up route leaking between the VRFs and the global table, but looking back at listserv threads as well as Juniper docs, I realize it's not possible to export MP-BGP learned routes into the global table using Juniper rib groups. I'm currently looking into using BGP between logical tunnel interfaces on the global table and a vrf to accomplish the route sharing, and that seems like a good possibility, but I’m curious about a few things: 1) Does anyone run production traffic through logical tunnel interfaces between the global table and routing instances? (we’re using fairly lightly-loaded MX480s) 2) Does any one have a smarter strategy that I could borrow to accomplish this transition? It all feels so kludge-y and brittle. -Dan

another cogent oddity
by ryanL 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

you may remember me from the weird cogent route retention / loop problem i brought up last week. it remains unsolved by cogent to date. also remembering i'm a relatively new cogent customer, i recently noticed some packets floating into my network that had cos and ipp markings on them. i figured i'd try to find where they were coming from, so i crafted up something like this and placed it inbound on my two transits (cogent and xo), excluding network control markings. from { dscp [ af11 af12 af13 af21 af22 af23 af31 af32 af33 af41 af42 af43 cs1 cs2 cs3 cs4 cs5 ef ]; precedence [ 1 2 3 4 5 ]; } all of it is coming in from cogent: COGENT-NOT-BE -> 4217788987 XO-NOT-BE -> 0 i shifted all traffic to XO just to make sure. the XO counter doesn't budge. seems like one transit is remarking everything to best effort before sending to me (which is preferred), and the other is not. am i odd to think that this is... odd? i also get a remarkable amount of hits against these destinations coming in on the cogent side, whereas i get none on the XO side. show policy-options prefix-list PUBLIC-BAD-NETS 10.0.0.0/8; 169.254.0.0/16; 172.16.0.0/12; 192.168.0.0/16; 224.0.0.0/4; ryan

OT: A certain WISP operator puts Sir Tim in his place
by Jay Farrell 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Noted, with some amusement, in the comments to a NY Times piece in which Sir Tim Berners-Lee speaks out for net neutrality: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/10/08/tim-berners-lee-web-creator-defend… --quote-- Brett Glass Laramie, WY 16 hours ago <http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/10/08/tim-berners-lee-web-creator-defend…> Berners-Lee is an Internet application developer (he developed an early one that was never commercially successful -- in fact, no Web browser has been commercially successful -- but important nonetheless). He thus has the biases of one. He has never worked as an ISP, operated an ISP, or managed an Internet service. [snip] --end quote

OK. Not relevant to the discussion then. (I was once told not to drink from what I was carrying. And told I could take a cup of coffee aboard.
