IPv6 route annoucement
by John York 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

Hoping to not start a war... We (a multi-homed end-user site) are finally getting IPv6-enabled Internet connectivity from one of our ISPs. In conversations regarding our BGP config, the ISP has balked at allowing us to advertise our ARIN-assigned /44, saying things like, "do you know how many addresses that is!!??" Am I way off base in thinking this network size is not out of the norm? I know it's a lot of addresses (19 octillion-something?), but that assignment was based on the same criteria that got us a /22 in v4 space. Should accepting a /44 in v6 not be equivalent, policy-wise, to accepting a /22 in v4?

Does anyone on list have any firsthand experience with this software as a primary ticketing platform in a high volume NOC? We are moving away from SolarWinds WebHelpDesk as our ticketing platform and this one came into the bidding late. http://www.autotask.com

Anyone running Knot?
by Jay Ashworth 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

LWN this week covers the Knot DNS server, written by/for the .cz root zone ops, which can, amongst other interesting attributes, load the entire 35 million record .net zone in 10 seconds. It also does generated synthetic A, 4A, and PTR records, like the old DENTS server written for mindspring. Is anybody here using it? Or knows of it being used somewhere they're permitted to discuss? Is it suitable for running on... much smaller zones? or does the optimization make it impractical? Cheers, -jra -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

Re: [j-nsp] Viability of EX4300 in a primarily l3 environment?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't OSPF require the AFL license anyway to be 'legitly' ran? Price difference might be a lot smaller depending on that.

FCC Releases Tenth Broadband Inquiry NOI
by Jay Ashworth 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

""" Section 706 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, as amended (1996 Act), requires the Commission to determine and report annually on "whether advanced telecommunications capability is being deployed to all Americans in a reasonable and timely fashion". 1) This Notice of Inquiry (Inquiry) initiates the Commission’s assessment of the availability of advanced telecommunications capability to all Americans (including, in particular, elementary and secondary schools and classrooms). 2) In conducting this Inquiry, the Commission must “determine whether advanced telecommunications capability is being deployed to all Americans in a reasonable and timely fashion and, if the answer is negative, the Commission "shall take immediate action to accelerate deployment of such capability" through a variety of means. 3) In this Inquiry, we solicit data and information that will help the Commission make this determination.

(Their current cutoff, for those who did not know, is 4/1, so DSL actually *does not qualify as broadband* for Section 706 purposes.) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

by Doug Barton 05 Aug '14

Seems germane to recent conversations ... Netflix has signed a peering agreement with AT&T that will see the video streaming service pay the ISP for direct connection to its network. Previously, Netflix signed similar agreements with Comcast and Verizon. http://techcrunch.com/2014/07/29/netflix-and-att-sign-peering-agreement/

I have been looking into DWDM light meters. The JDSU looks good, but I see other brands out there. Does anyone have some recommendations, things to look out for? Thanks, Tim Kaufman
