Chicago Colo and IX
by Graham Johnston 06 Nov '14

06 Nov '14

We are looking to expand our network and establish a POP in Chicago; it is expect that we will focus on 350 East Cermak. Can anyone provide recommendations on Colo providers? We will only really need enough space to deploy a modest router and the power it requires. As we won't be able to do work on site, given its remote location to us, a colo provider who provides a remote hands service is a requirement. I'm also curious if anyone can comment on the Equinix IX that is there. Our only experience today with an IX is with TorIX, which has been extremely positive, and I'm not sure what significant differences I should expect if any. Thanks, Graham Johnston Network Planner Westman Communications Group 204.717.2829 johnstong(a)westmancom.com<mailto:johnstong@westmancom.com> P think green; don't print this email.

SFPs in Seattle
by Bobby Lacey 06 Nov '14

06 Nov '14

Sorry for the bandwidth, but we're kind of in a desperate situation to find two HP single mode SFPs. We ordered some yesterday, but it's looking like they won't be delivered today. Would anyone in the Seattle KeyArena area be able to help? If you think you could help today, could you please call Vick @ (404) 561-2608 Thanks for any help! Bobby

Re: TE offline tools

I'm aware about the Cisco MATE software, but I'd prefer an open-source, vendor-agnostic one, something that in-house imporvements can also be achieved.

Hijack factory: AS201640 -- MEGA - SPRED LTD / Michael A. Persaud
by Ronald F. Guilmette 05 Nov '14

05 Nov '14

I already posted about this rogue AS days ago, but nothing has really changed much, since then, with respect to its hijacking of IP space. Well, at least Brian Krebs was kind anough to write about it: http://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/11/still-spamming-after-all-these-years/ (Please note that that is a convicted felon spamming from the hijacked IP space. He's not allowed to own firearms, but he _can_ apparently own a keyboard.) As of today, AS201640 is still hijacking a total of eleven routes to IP space scattered all over the world... none of which appears to belong to anybody in or near Bulgaria. In fact, it would appear that the organization that is the registrant of AS201640 currently has exactly -zero- IP addresses to call its own. Nobody in a postion to _do_ anything about this gives a darn? As of today: 36.0.56.0/21 41.92.206.0/23 41.198.80.0/20 41.198.224.0/20 61.242.128.0/19 119.227.224.0/19 123.29.96.0/19 177.22.117.0/24 177.46.48.0/22 187.189.158.0/23 202.39.112.0/20

Re: Default routes on BGP routers with full feeds

If not, why not? Back when I worked for the DNC we ran into a problem with the TCAM size. Given the DNC's focus on the U.S., network reliability to the /8's operated out of the APNIC and RIPE regions was much less important to us. So, we filtered BGP announcements from within those /8's and relied on covering routes to get our packets there instead. I used covering /8's instead of a default, but a default would have been as effective.

Issues with SNMP monitoring over a GRE tunnel.
by Brian Christopher Raaen 05 Nov '14

05 Nov '14

I have two different customers where I am unable to monitor their networks due to GRE MTU issues. This is monitoring cable modems so I can't change the MTU of the end device. The problem I am having is that the modems are producing frames that appear to be larger than some kind of MTU limit in the system (we do not control the customer routers in either case). One that I am looking at is dropping anything larger than 1472, and I have let to tune down on the other one. In one case the customer endpoint is a Cisco ASR1K router and the other is a ASR9K. because these are UDP packets I can't use a mss to clamp things down. Also I have been unable to replicate the issue in my lab, so I can't send them a list of commands to help fix the issue on their end. -- Brian Christopher Raaen Network Architect Zcorum
