Arista Routing Solutions
by Colton Conor 03 May '16

03 May '16

NANOG, I know Arista is typically a switch manufacturer, but with their recently announced Arista 7500R Series and soon to be announced but already shipping 7280R Series Arista is officially getting into the routing game. The fixed 1U 7280R Series looks quite impressive. The 7500R series is your traditional chassis and line card based solution. Both of these products have the ability to hold the full internet routing table, and Arista is working on MPLS features. Both of these new products use the latest Broadcom Jerico chipsets. I would like to know how viable of a product NANOG thinks these Arista routers are compared to service provider grade routers from Cisco, Juniper, ALU, and Brocade? Cost wise, Arista seems to be much, much less per port. For example, the 1U Arista 7280R with 48x10GbE (SFP+) & 6x100GbE QSFP cost about the same as what Juniper sells a MX104 with only four 10G ports for (Under 20K). Can the Arista EOS software combine with their hardware based on the Broadcom Jericho chipset truly compete with the custom chipsets and accompanying software from the big guys?

BGP FlowSpec
by Martin Bacher 03 May '16

03 May '16

Dear Nanog Members, My name is Martin Bacher. I am a Student at UAS Technikum-Wien and I am currently writing my master’s thesis with topic "Addressing DDoS Attacks with BGP FlowSpec“. It would be very helpful for me if some of you could share information about the following topics: - Intra-AS BGP FlowSpec deployment: Who is running it? For which kind of attacks are you using it? Are you only dropping or rate-limiting certain traffic or are you also using the redirect/remark capabilities? What are the limitations from your perspective? Are you facing any operational issues? How are you injecting the FlowSpec routes? - Inter-AS: Who is running Inter-AS FlowSpec deployments? What is your experience? Are there any concerns regarding Inter-AS deployments? Has anyone done interop tests? FlowSpec is usually only one part of the whole anti DDoS toolset. So I would also be interested in your answers to the following questions: - How are you detecting DDoS attacks (Netflow, in-line probes, ..?) and which applications are you using for the analysis (Peakflow, Open-Source tools, ..?) - Which countermeasures are you deploying in case of DDoS attacks? ACLs, FlowSpec, Blackhole routes, RTBH, scrubbing center, Cloud based DDoS services or anything else? - What is your operational experience? How fast are you in deploying countermeasures? Do you have any automation or is this always triggered by people? Last but not least: I am also looking for anonymized statistical data about DDoS attacks which I could use in the thesis. I am mainly interested in data about the type of attacks, attack time, sources, source and destination ports, and so on. I know this something which is generally not shared, so I would really appreciate it if someone would be able to share such data. Please send me your answers either via pn or directly to the list. Please also let me know if you think that there is something missing. Any comment or answer is highly appreciated. Looking forward to your replies. Many thanks. Greetings, Martin

Standards for last mile performance
by Jean-Francois Mezei 02 May '16

02 May '16

The CRTC hearing went well (thanks for all your help). One of the unanswered questions was how to set performance standards for the last mile to ensure people get advertised speeds (within reason). I had asked the question about contention ratio and it appears there is no proper way to set such a moving target as a regulatory standard. During the hearing, someone suggested that advertised speeds be achievable 80% of the time. (chairman then asked if "time" was 24 hours, or just the time you needed to use the internet (aka: peak). Out of curiosity, could such a thing be measured by the last mile operator ? There is the easy answer of synch. For DSL, non delivery of advertised speed is easy since that metric is on the modem statistics. However, for fixed wireless, would a customer too far from tower see a lower synch rate or would he just see poor performance due to lots of retransmits ? So some generic questions: What are the different ways used to determine if the last mile is congested and needs to be upgraded ? >From the network operator's point of view, would it not be looking at 5 minute throughput samples and trigger upgrades when it sees throughput reaching x% of last mile segment capacity for more than X minutes per day ? What other means do network admins use to monitor when it is time to upgrade shared last mile segments such as coax or fixed wireless ? from a policy point of view, is it possible to set the same standard for different technologies or should each (dsl, coax, fixed wireless and satellite) have they own standards and methods of measurements before of intrinsic differences in how they work ? In the case of Rogers (canadian cableco), the CRTC record shows that they trigger node split process when capacity reaches 60%. This is because it takes them so long to do all the paperwork, committees etc that by the time the node split is done, that segment has grown to about 75% utilisation. Would that be a sound basis to set a policy ? For shared last mile, would different technologies have similar thresholds that trigger the need for upgrades or would coax start to degrade at 75% whereas fixed wireless or satellite start to degrade at lower/higher number ? For FTTP, while likely not a big problem yet, would similar number apply when the ~2gbps download and ~1gbps upload start to get filled by the 32 homes served ?

Superfluous advertisement (was: Friday's Random Comment)
by Jakob Heitz (jheitz) 01 May '16

01 May '16

A use case for a longer prefix with the same nexthop: F / \ D E | | B C \ / A Suppose A is a customer of B and C. B has a large address space: 10.1.0.0/16. B allocates a subset to A: 10.1.1.0/24. B advertises the longer prefix to its backup provider C. C propagates it to E and then to F. B MUST advertise both 10.1.0.0/16 and 10.1.1.0/24 to D. D MUST propagate both of them to F. Otherwise, if F only receives 10.1.0.0/16 from D, then F will have the longer match 10.1.1.0/24 to E, but E is only the backup route.

Hi Amplification attacks and syn floods are just touching the surface of ddos attack vectors. You should look into some industry reports: Here are a couple examples to get you started. https://www.radware.com/ert-report-2015/ http://www.verizonenterprise.com/verizon-insights-lab/dbir/2016/ Sent via the Samsung GALAXY S® 5, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone -------- Original message -------- From: Martin Bacher <ti14m028(a)technikum-wien.at> Date: 4/29/2016 2:02 AM (GMT-08:00) To: Tyler Haske <tyler.haske(a)gmail.com> Cc: NANOG list <nanog(a)nanog.org> Subject: Re: BGP FlowSpec Hello Tyler, thanks for your reply. > Am 28.04.2016 um 17:37 schrieb Tyler Haske <tyler.haske(a)gmail.com>: > > Martin, > > > > Last but not least: I am also looking for anonymized statistical data about DDoS attacks which I could use in the thesis.

I just had a look on that and thought that its only be able to detect some of the attacks. You might not detect large state of the art reflection and amplification attacks with that method.

Multiple VRFs from provider, IP addressing
by Craig Rivenburg 29 Apr '16

29 Apr '16

Hi Nanog...looking for some advice. I have a customer who has a large network...approximately 130 sites across the US. Each site is fed via two providers, via two Separate CE Routers. It's a L3-VPN service. Each provider currently provides connectivity for 6 VRFs, each over a single service multiplexed UNI. Ie...there are 6 dot1q interfaces facing each provider, each sub-interface is in its own VRF. The network is going through a redesign, and one of my tasks is to consolidate and "streamline" IP addressing. Looking for a sanity check...I have this idea to make every dot1q sub-interface facing the provider the same point-to-point subnet. Specifically, facing a single provider, I want to use the same /30 subnet for all 6 VRFs. I'd use a separate /30 for each of the CE routers per site, so I could go from 12 /30s to 2 per site. I should note, PE-CE protocol is BGP, and behind the CE routers is a small iBGP network. I know it's technically possible to configure the OPs this way and under normal circumstances its fine. But, in this case, there is a whole lot of route leaking / cross target exchanges happening between VRFs. I still think it's okay...but can anyone think of a a failure mode that I may not have? Is what I'm thinking common practice? Is there a best practice for this sort of thing? Thanks!

Reporter's questions
by Dave Burstein 29 Apr '16

29 Apr '16

Folks I've long lurked here and thought to ask about the story below and related. The news here is that Hurricane Electric is opening Africa pops and likely bringing down prices significantly. I made some (semi-informed) guesses about the relation of backhaul/transit to ISP costs. Anyone with date, I'd welcome it on or off list. Also, pointers to other sources of attractive pricing in the Global South welcome. I've been to several international meetings where I hear that's a huge problem. Improvements welcome. I'm always looking for news about broadband and related policy. I've just been to a major 5G conference and have been learing a great deal. Quick takeaways: Field trials coming next year at both Verizon & AT&T. Test data so far is very positive. MU MIMO should be ready for market this decade, with 10x improvement in the right places. Millimeter wave is also looking good but few expect volume before 2020-2023. Very expensive because short range of high frequencies means many, many cell sites. Short range means that those with fiber in place for backhaul have an enormous advantage. That's mostly the incumbents. I believe this will be a huge problem for competition but DC hasn't caught on yet. If any of this isn't appropriate for the list, let me know. Dave Burstein http://fastnet.news/index.php/97-fnn/368-hurricane-s-incredible-backhaul-pr… Hurricane's Expected Incredible Backhaul Prices to Joburg & Nairobi could kickstart Africa's Internet <http://fastnet.news/index.php/97-fnn/368-hurricane-s-incredible-backhaul-pr…> [image: Hurricane Africa 250]Not quite as low as the $0.27/megabit price in Riga. Hurricane Electric, a major Internet backbone, is coming to Africa. Although they aren't announcing prices, I predict they will offer much less expensive backhaul/transit. Most of the continent suffers from brutally high, cartel-like prices for wholesale connections. If HE prices as I expect they will, that could easily reduce consumer Internet prices by 15% to 35%. In turn, that will allow tens of millions more to connect. In 2012 at the WCIT, a dozen Africans told me the high the cost of transit/backhaul was by far the most important international obstacle to bringing the Internet to more Africans. A friend of mine was quoted $70/megabit for a Gig-E in Lagos last year. The cost in most European or American cities would be between $0.50 and perhaps $4.00. The current high price of backhaul raises the cost of a robust broadband connection probably $10-20 over what it could be. Even a second-rate service with a low cap is probably $5 more expensive than necessary. There is a real cost involved carrying data 6,000 miles undersea but that explains only a small part of the 50-1 difference in the price between London and most of Africa. Most coastal countries are now served by more than one undersea cable. South Africa has five and Kenya three, Take a look at Steve Song's remarkable map. <https://manypossibilities.net/african-undersea-cables/>The Africans have been chomping at the bit to reduce the impact of the cartel, but the U.S. has been blocking that at the ITU. Hurricane offers a $2,700/month price for a 10 gigabit pipe in several dozen cities in Europe and North America, including Riga, Latvia and Rochester, Minnesota. That's on a five year contract. Three years would be somewhat higher. The Africa price will be higher but I believe will create a new market level. The cable middleman must be paid. A Gig-E can serve a thousand robust connections and easily five thousand with low caps. 10 gigs is enough for ten thousand good connections. HE keeps prices down by doing little advertising and less pr and run lean in all ways. They;ve been around since 1994, were early to IPv6 and other technical advances, and service many world-class clients. The ISP needs to carry the data from the Hurricane POP to their local networks. Fortunately, land-based fiber nets are growing rapidly. With 700M mobile subs in Africa, the market is booming. Afterfibre has a map <https://afterfibre.nsrc.org/> worth looking at. Africa will have more than 315M broadband users, the population of the United States, within the next 18 months. Ericsson expects a total of 500M new broadband users in Africa between 2015 & 2020. A bit further - All cost figures here other than actual price quotes are my somewhat informed estimates based on scattered details of actual ISP internal costs I've accumulated over the years. They aren't precise. Cost accounting in a high fixed cost/low marginal cost industry is highly subjective. That's especially true here because the decision how to allocate backhaul costs between voice and data varies. Also, expect a lag between the wholesale and retail price changes. In developed countries with typically robust regional fiber, a large carrier's network cost from the peering point to the local exchange was similar to transit costs. Both seem to typically equate to 3-5 hops worth of switches/routers. So if I double transit costs, which have a competitive market, I get a usable estimate of the marginal cost of the bandwidth delivered to the local exchange. If transit costs $0.27/megabit in the local market, I believe the marginal cost of bandwidth will be well under $1. That's confirmed off the record numerous times by the carriers but very rarely discussed in public. (Because bandwidth is such a small part of broadband costs, any policy discussion that focuses on how much bandwidth a consumer takes is unsound.) However, as I testified to the U.S. Broadband Commission, rural areas and small companies often have much higher costs. ISPs and telcos under ~ 20,000 customers cannot efficiently buy backhaul in many locations. (That's when I developed some rules of thumb between transit costs and the delivered cost of broadband,) I suspect the effect is even more extreme in African rural areas or where customers are relatively few. I'd welcome any data people might have. -- Editor, Fast Net News, Net Policy News and DSL Prime Author with Jennie Bourne DSL (Wiley) and Web Video: Making It Great, Getting It Noticed (Peachpit)

We (Netflix) have been deploying the previous gen (7500E) as edge routers for about two years in high traffic, low route count applications in our CDN, and have been working with Arista for almost as long to improve route scale so that we could turn off all our traditional routers. The features that enable full routes on Jericho are running in our production network today and we also have the 7500R and 7280R working with full tables. I can't speak to MPLS, but for our use case (all L3, very high-density 10/40/100G, BGP, IS-IS and light QoS), it's working well. So, yes, I'd say those two products are quite viable and competitive options in the edge router space.
