09 Aug '16

Hey folks, We've filed a support ticket to find out the supported level for this range, but I wanted to see if there was anyone out there who'd experienced using the 100.64.0.0/10 space in AWS? Thanks, -AA

Best practices for tracking intra-facility crossconnects
by Eric Kuhnke 09 Aug '16

09 Aug '16

Hey all, I am looking to see what the community's experience has been with different types of labeling systems and XC tracking systems for intra-facility crossconnects. In addition to the standard practice of labeling every fiber at both ends, if you're using a system that wraps a cable marker around the cable every 3 ft/1 meter, what type of system are you using to track XCs? If you have implemented a standards-based system with some type of GUID for every cable, and a unique per-cable tracking system that is utilized with a ticketing system for each distinct cable (whether -48VDC, fiber, cat5e, alarm wire, whatever), what did you have to customize for your needs? If you have implemented such a system in an older facility where every cable did not previously have a unique ID#, what hiccups did you run into? If you were designing such a system from a 'green field' approach for a brand new datacenter/colo/IX facility that is yet to be constructed, what would you do differently (both at OSI layer 1, and in the operational support software tracking the XCs?)

Google compute engine private ASNs
by Lee Fuller 09 Aug '16

09 Aug '16

Hey, first post so sorry if it's misguided. I'm curious about the BGP implementation in Google compute engine that allows you to define routing policy using private ASN numbers. How similar is it in terms of learning about BGP as a broader concept, or is it all smoke and mirrors? I'm not in a position where iBGP would benefit me in any other context than learning so I'm keen not to bother if it's too abstracted from a real world scenario.

Advertising rented IPv4 prefix from a different ASN.
by Andrew 05 Aug '16

05 Aug '16

Hello List, I work for a medium sized ISP. We are entering an agreement to rent some IPv4 space from a local higher education institution. Being a multi-homed ISP we would like to advertise the rented prefix from our ASN. The prefix that will be advertised is a smaller subnet from the higher educations block; they will continue to advertise the larger prefix. What is the best way to accomplish this? Is there any way of doing this without having to tunnel the traffic through the origin ASN? I feel if we just adverse the prefix it get put on a bogon list for prefix hijacking. This space is rented long term but they are not interested in reassigning the space to us. They also want to keep advertising their prefix as one contiguous block. I appreciate any insight and information. Thank you for your time, Andrew.

Host.us DDOS attack
by Robert Webb 04 Aug '16

04 Aug '16

Anyone have any additonal info on a DDOS attack hitting host.us? Woke up to no email this morning and the following from their web site: *Following an extortion attempt, HostUS is currently experiencing sustained large-scale DDOS attacks against a number of locations. The attacks were measured in one location at 300Gbps. In another location the attacks temporarily knocked out the entire metropolitan POP for a Tier-1 provider. Please be patient. We will return soon. Your understanding is appreciated. * >From my monitoring system, looks like my VPS went unavailable around 23:00 EDT last night. Robert

NFV Solution Evaluation Methodology
by Kasper Adel 04 Aug '16

04 Aug '16

Hi, I am interested in hearing the approach and thought-process that senior people on NANOG are following when presented with an NFV solution. Assuming that the exercise at hand is to consider NFV for future expansions of Firewalls and L3VPNs or stay with the existing model of what is called PNF (physical network function)...i.e : classic routers and FWs. There are a lot of factors to consider and Vendors will typically give their biased opinion, so i'm trying to get my head out of their game, to be able to think agnostically about the whole thing. 1) Product and Service/Support Cost. 2) Operation Complexity/Learning Curve. (open source products included). 3) X Factors (Those that are never listed but do bite in the back) : Quality, Integration with Classic, Migration, Usability...etc The main goal behind us exploring NFV is the promised cost-saving, so a good method to be able to do the math of whether NFV will save opex/capex or NOT is definitely needed here and i'm trying to gather guidelines from the list. I think its easier to keep this post high-level, and later dig deeper. Cheers, K

Clueful BGP from TW-Telecom/L3
by Scott Morris 03 Aug '16

03 Aug '16

Is there per chance anyone hanging on here who is clueful about BGP working with TW-Telecom and the recent integration with Level3???? I have a client that I consult with whose route is not getting sent from TW to L3 and the techs on the case are convinced we need to put different BGP communities in (both to TW link and other provider link) which of course we are putting in to satisfy them, but magically it is not working. This SHOULD be an easy thing to figure out using the Looking Glass servers within both TW and Level3, but this concept is lost on techs we are dealing with. Anyone internal there who can contact me off-list would be greatly appreciated! Scott swm(a)emanon.com

Frontier FlashWave Support contact
by Mel Beckman 03 Aug '16

03 Aug '16

Can someone from Frontier provide a CO contact for customer-prem FlashWave units? We have several in alarm, although otherwise functional, but Frontier front line support seems unable to open tickets on this gear, since it's not apparently considered CPE by Frontier. -mel beckman
