Advance notice - H-root address change on December 1, 2015
by Kash, Howard M CIV USARMY RDECOM ARL (US) 17 Nov '15

17 Nov '15

This is advance notice that there is a scheduled change to the IP addresses for one of the authorities listed for the DNS root zone and the .ARPA TLD. The change is to H.ROOT-SERVERS.NET, which is administered by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory. The new IPv4 address for this authority is 198.97.190.53. The new IPv6 address for the authority is 2001:500:1::53. This change is anticipated to be implemented in the root zone on 1 December 2015, however the new addresses are operational now. They will replace the previous IP addresses of 128.63.2.53 and 2001:500:1::803f:235 (also previously known as AOS.BRL.MIL and AOS.ARL.ARMY.MIL) We encourage operators of DNS infrastructure to update any references to the old IP addresses and replace them with the new addresses. In particular, many DNS resolvers have a DNS root "hints" file. This should be updated with the new IP addresses. New hints files will be available at the following URLs once the change has been formally executed on December 1: http://www.internic.net/domain/named.root http://www.internic.net/domain/named.cache The old IPv4 address will continue to work for six months after the transition (until 1 June 2016), at which point it will be retired from service. The address will remain under the control of the Army Research Laboratory, never to be used again for DNS service. The old IPv6 address will continue to work indefinitely, but may ultimately be retired from service. Simultaneous to the retirement of the old address on June 1, 2016, the ASN for H-root will change from 13 to 1508. You can monitor the transition of queries to the new addresses at the following URL: http://h.root-servers.org/old_vs_new.html -- Howard Kash U.S. Army Research Laboratory

Two IPv6 websites down
by frnkblk＠iname.com 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

My regular BT and CTL link contacts have not responded, but perhaps there's another engineer on the list that can investigate. www.bt.com hasn't had an AAAA since Friday, October 30 at 4:36 am (U.S. Central). OpenDNS carried it for a while longer yesterday, but when I checked this morning it was gone. www.centurylink.com (and www.qwest.com) have had HTTPv6 access down since Friday, October 30 at 1:21 am (U.S. Central). I suspect that after maintenance something wasn't fixed up or restored. In addition, the following sites, which had working HTTPv6 at one time, remain down: enterprise.ca cs.co mydeviceinfo.comcast.net www.dnssec.comcast.net wireless.att.com www.att.net (Akamai hosted) www.charter.com www.twtelecom.com Regards, Frank root@nagios:/home/fbulk# wget -6 www.centurylink.com --2015-10-31 09:53:13-- http://www.centurylink.com/ Resolving www.centurylink.com... 2001:428:b21:1::20 Connecting to www.centurylink.com|2001:428:b21:1::20|:80... failed: Connection timed out.

CIDR Utilization
by John Steve Nash 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

Hi, I'm looking for any tool or a way I could specify a CIDR and the prefixes that are being used within this CIDR and the tool show me all free supernets. Example: 192.168.0.0/24 - CIDR Used subnet's: 192.168.0.1/32 192.168.0.8/27 192.168.0.64/26 192.168.0.68/32 192.168.0.96/29 Tool Result => Free Subnet's: 192.168.0.2/31 192.168.0.4/30 192.168.0.32/27 192.168.0.128/25 Regards, John

IP => Location on the planet
by Laurence F. Sheldon, Jr. 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

No follow up required or expected. FYI geo-location fans. While sitting on a toilet in a hotel in Kansas City, Missouri, US of A, I chanced to log-on to Facebook from my Kindle, and the lap-top in the on the desk in another room, Facebook alerted that I had logged on from Caracas, Venezuela. I have not checked--we might be in the same time-zone.

Microsoft Geo-IP Admin needed
by Fredy Kuenzler 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

Can anyone point me to a Microsoft Geo-IP admin? Their Geo-IP for live.com/outlook.com seems to be rather outdated. We get complaints for 85.195.208.0/20 and 85.195.224.0/19, pointing to Antarctic instead of Switzerland. Any commercial Geo-IP shows correct information, but Office product activation fails. Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/fiber7_ch/status/630880605971025920 Offlist response is fine. Thanks. -- Fredy Kuenzler --------------------- Fiber7.

Satellites and submarine cables
by Sean Donelan 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

Since the weekend's list problems seem to have died down. How about some infrastructure news. http://spacenews.com/from-russia-some-unofficial-assurance-about-lurking-lu… >From Russia, Unofficial Assurance about Intent of Lurking Luch Satellite http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/26/world/europe/russian-presence-near-unders… Russian Ships Near Data Cables Are Too Close for U.S. Comfort This seems to be a case of "I know you can see me, and I can see you." Its not new. Multiple countries have demostrated submarine and satellite capabilities over the decades ... more submarines than satellites. But generally everyone has more to lose than gain. What is different is the increasingly public rhetoric. Occasional satellites or submarine cable disruptions haven't had long term impact on the US mainland due to US connectivity options. Carriers serving the US mainland regularly have outages and repair submarine cable and satellite problems. But countries with less connectivity options could get pushed around more, along the lines of "Make him an offer he can't refuse." Some of the public rhetoric may be for allies.

Level 3 issues in Chicago
by Randy Carpenter 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

A network that we manage is having trouble getting to several sites. The common point of failure appears to be Level 3 in Chicago. Connections work fine from our direct upstream, so it appears that Level 3 is not allowing traffic sourced from the net block in question. Can someone from Level 3 ping me off list? thanks, -Randy

NANOG list attack
by Larry Blunk 29 Oct '15

29 Oct '15

All, Just wanted to apologize for the attack over the weekend. The posts came from a email address that was subscribed to the list, so it was not subjected to moderation. While a filter was added to block further posts (which were made in a short time window), there were existing message queues that were not cleared in a timely basis. As Job Snijders (a fellow Communications Committee member) noted in an earlier post, we will be implementing some additional protection mechanisms to prevent this style of incident from happening again. We will be more aggressively moderating posts from addresses who have not posted recently, in addition to other filtering mechanisms. Regards, Larry Blunk NANOG Communications Committee Admins(a)nanog.org
