Broadband Router Comparisons
by Lorell Hathcock 20 Jan '16

20 Jan '16

All: Not all consumer grade customer premises equipment is created equally. But end customers sure think it is. I have retirement aged customers buying the crappiest routers and then blaming my cable network for all their connection woes. The real problem is that there were plenty of problems on the cable network to deal with, so it was impossible to tell between a problem that a customer was having with their CPE versus a real problem in my network. Much of that has been cleared up on my side now, but customers were used to blaming us for everything so that they don't even consider that their equipment could be to blame. I want to be able to point out a third party list of all (most) broadband routers that rates them by performance. Or that rates them by crappiness that I can send them to so they can look up their own router and determine if other users have had problems with that router and what can be done to fix it. So far my search has been in vain. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. Lorell Hathcock Sent from my iPad

Youtube CDN unreachable over IPv6
by Seth Mos 14 Jan '16

14 Jan '16

Dear Google, It appears that one of the Youtube CDN's (in Europe, NL) is not reachable over IPv6 from AS 20844. Can someone get back to us on this, the company can't access any of the videos currently, although the mainpage loads fine (over IPv6). Kind regards, Seth telnet r6---sn-5hne6n76.googlevideo.com 443 Trying 2a00:1450:401c:4::b... telnet: connect to address 2a00:1450:401c:4::b: Connection timed out Trying 74.125.100.203...

VPLS Providers
by Chris Burwell 06 Jan '16

06 Jan '16

Hi NANOG, I'm looking to solicit feedback on VPLS providers. The requirement is for connectivity among about ten sites in North America, however feedback for providers that also extend service to EMEA and APAC would also be welcome. All types of feedback are appreciated (good, bad, and anything in between). Thanks, - Chris

IPv4 subnets for lease?
by Nick Ellermann 06 Jan '16

06 Jan '16

We have customers asking to lease IP space for BGP transit with us and other peers. But they are struggling to get at a minimum even a Class C, even though they have their own ASN. We don't have large amounts of free IPv4 space to lease out to a single customer in most cases anymore. Hope to at least introduce these customers to some contacts that may be able to help. Do we know of any reputable sources that are leasing or selling IPv4 subnets as small as a /24 to satisfy their diversity needs? Thanks! Sincerely, Nick Ellermann - CTO & VP Cloud Services BroadAspect E: nellermann(a)broadaspect.com<mailto:nellermann@broadaspect.com> P: 703-297-4639 F: 703-996-4443 THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

Big day for IPv6 - 1% native penetration
by Tomas Podermanski 05 Jan '16

05 Jan '16

Hi, It seems that today is a "big day" for IPv6. It is the very first time when native IPv6 on google statistics (http://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html) reached 1%. Some might say it is tremendous success after 16 years of deploying IPv6 :-) T.

Netflix stuffing data on pipe
by Matt Hoppes 04 Jan '16

04 Jan '16

Has anyone else observed Netflix sessions attempting to come into customer CPE devices at well in excess of the customers throttled plan? I'm not talking error retries on the line. I'm talking like two to three times in excess of what the customers CPE device can handle. I'm observing massive buffer overruns in some of our switches that appear to be directly related to this. And I can't figure out what possible good purpose Netflix would have for attempting to do this. Curious if anyone else has seen it?

interconnection costs
by Reza Motamedi 31 Dec '15

31 Dec '15

Hi NANOG We are a group of researchers and our focus is on the economy of interconnection in the Internet. My question is mainly about the various costs of an AS establishing a connection with another AS, including the costs charged by the colocation providers. I am familiar with most of the connection options such as public peering on IXP, and private peering through xconnects. My understanding is that in addition to the cost of transit that the smaller AS pays to the larger AS, in the former you pay a monthly fee to establish a link to the switching fabric and then you can connect to as many ASes that are member in the IXP, and in the later you need to pay for as many xconnects that you need to connect to as many ASes that you plan to peer with. Obviously in both cases there is the cost of being in the colocation and renting a rack or whatever. What are the other costs involved? How should the AS reach the colocation center in the first place? I don't think every network can dig a hole an lay cables. Who should they pay to get from one PoP to another? Do ASes have to pay for xconnect to connect their PoP in a data center to the rest of their network? I think there is no single answer as different businesses may have different pricing models. I hope the discussion can help me understand the whole ecosystem a little bit better.
