Ok, but how does it handle providing initscripts? I gather any upstreams which used to provide them aren't anymore... Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

ISP Shaping Hardware
by Skeeve Stevens 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

Hey all, Just wondering what/if people are using any shaping hardware/appliances these days, and if so, what. I have a client which has thousands of customers on Satellite and needs to restrict some users who are doing a lot. So I wanted to see what the current popular equipment out there is. ...Skeeve *Skeeve Stevens - *eintellego Networks Pty Ltd skeeve(a)eintellegonetworks.com ; www.eintellegonetworks.com Phone: 1300 239 038; Cell +61 (0)414 753 383 ; skype://skeeve facebook.com/eintellegonetworks ; <http://twitter.com/networkceoau> linkedin.com/in/skeeve experts360: https://expert360.com/profile/d54a9 twitter.com/theispguy ; blog: www.theispguy.com The Experts Who The Experts Call Juniper - Cisco - Cloud - Consulting - IPv4 Brokering

[DHCP Relay agent] send packets to different dhcp servers based on client options
by Stephan Alz 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

Hello Folks, I looking for an opensource project (can be a modification of the original isc-relay agent), which able to send packets to different DHCP servers based on DHCP options such as: The Vendor Class Identifier (Option 60) Vendor Class Identifier (Option 60) can be used by DHCP clients to identify the vendor and functionality of a DHCP client. The information is a variable length string of characters or octets which has a meaning specified by the vendor of the DHCP client. If my vendor class identifier contains lets say: "motorola.fw0512.5112" string, send it to DHCP server 1 on ip 192.168.1.1 "cisco.fw06411.111" string, send it to DHCP server 2 on ip 172.16.15.44 The existent relay agents (isc-relay, dhcp-helper) send a copy of all the dhcp servers of the dhcpdiscover message. This is definitely not what I want. Thanks!

Not sure if Allot has GA on the virtual appliances but they did a demo earlier this month http://www.allot.com/index.aspx?id=3797&itemID=158923 On 21 Oct 2014 00:37, "Skeeve Stevens" <skeeve+nanog(a)eintellegonetworks.com> wrote: What I'd really love is a vAppliance. Some of these hardware solutions are VERY expensive for offering only an average solution. I'd also rather not rely on their hardware, but servers with VMware (or whatever) that we can design our own redundancy. Does anyone know if Allot does a Virtual Appliance? I've also heard that pfSense is an interesting option... That could easily be virtualised I would assume. ...Skeeve *Skeeve Stevens - *eintellego Networks Pty Ltd skeeve(a)eintellegonetworks.com ; www.eintellegonetworks.com Phone: 1300 239 038; Cell +61 (0)414 753 383 ; skype://skeeve facebook.com/eintellegonetworks ; <http://twitter.com/networkceoau> linkedin.com/in/skeeve experts360: https://expert360.com/profile/d54a9 twitter.com/theispguy ; blog: www.theispguy.com The Experts Who The Experts Call Juniper - Cisco - Cloud - Consulting - IPv4 Brokering On 20 October 2014 22:31, Nurul Islam Roman <nurul(a)apnic.net> wrote: > Used following two product to shape traffic on packet level (L3).

large BCP38 compliance testing
by Mikael Abrahamsson 20 Oct '14

20 Oct '14

Hi, To fix a lot of the DDOS attacks going on, we need to make sure BCP38 compliance goes up. Only way to do this I can think of, is large scale BCP38 testing. One way of doing this, is to have large projects such as OpenWRT, RIPE Atlas project, perhaps even CPE vendors, implement something that would spoof 1 packet per day or something to a known destination, and in this packet the "real" source address of the packet is included. I have been getting pushback from people that this might be "illegal". Could anyone please tell me what's illegal about trying to send a packet with a random source address? If we can get consensus in the operational world that this is actually ok, would that help organisations to implement this kind of testing. I could see vendors implement a test like "help verify network stability and compliance, these tests are anonymous" checkbox during the initial install, or something like this. Why isn't this being done? Why are we complaining about 300 gigabit/s DDOS attacks, asking people to fix their open resolvers, NTP servers etc, when the actual culprit is that some networks in the world don't implement BCP38? -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike(a)swm.pp.se
