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?

Re: BGP peering strategies for smaller routers

got a quagga router in my life where bgpd+zebra takes up 1gig for 4.5 full tables. Rest of the OS easily lives in 1 gig (could probably be much less.) big-vendor solutions always seem much bloatier - same deal on power usage. just a data point. /kc -- Ken Chase - math(a)sizone.org Toronto

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.
