Re: How ISPs bill : Time Zones & 95th Percentile Calculations
by Patrick W. Gilmore 23 Jan '17

23 Jan '17

NANOG’ers: Steve McManus of Akamai and I have a few questions regarding how providers use time zones for billing, and how the 95th percentile (95/5) is calculated. Many ISPs use UTC on logs and such for reasons which should be obvious. But do they use local time for billing? What if there are ports in multiple time zones? When calculating 95/5 for LACP groups, is the aggregate used or individual physical ports? Etc. We have created a short form to collect some real-world data on this. https://goo.gl/d1HRNb We fully understand this is far from a statistically randomized double-blind survey, but it is what we could do in the few minutes of spare time we had. The form is only 7 multiple-choice questions, with two optional “comment” sections and an optional contact info section. We would really appreciate if people would share data (anonymously!) on how they bill or get billed. The form is designed to be used once per relationship. If you have two upstreams who use two different billing methods, we would greatly appreciate if you could fill in the form twice. It seemed easier to have you click 7 radio buttons twice than ask you to explain the different methods on one form. Thank you for your time. Results will be aggregated and published at some later date to be determined. If you would like the results faster, be sure to leave your email address in the contact section. -- TTFN, patrick -- TTFN, patrick

Call for presentations RIPE 74
by Benno Overeinder 23 Jan '17

23 Jan '17

Dear colleagues, Please find the CFP for RIPE 74 below or at https://ripe74.ripe.net/submit-topic/cfp/. The deadline for submissions is *12 March 2017*. Please also note that speakers do not receive any extra reduction or funding towards the meeting fee at the RIPE Meetings. Kind regards, Benno Overeinder RIPE PC Chair https://ripe74.ripe.net/programme/ripe-pc/ -------------------->>><<<-------------------- Call for Presentations A RIPE Meeting is an open event where Internet Service Providers, network operators and other interested parties get together. Although the meeting is mostly technical, it is also a chance for people to meet and network with others in their field. RIPE 74 will take place from 8-12 May 2017 in Budapest, Hungary. The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the plenary sessions, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions), panels, workshops, tutorials and lightning talks at RIPE 74. See the full descriptions of the different presentation formats, https://ripe74.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/. Proposals for plenary sessions, BoFs, panels, workshops and tutorials must be submitted for full consideration no later than 12 March 2017. Proposals submitted after this date will be considered depending on the remaining available space in the programme. The PC is looking for presentations covering topics of network engineering and operations, including but not limited to: - IPv6 deployment - Managing IPv4 scarcity - Data centre technologies - Network and DNS operations - Internet governance and regulatory practices - Network and routing security - Content delivery - Internet peering and mobile data exchange - Connected Things (aka. Internet of Things - IoT) Submissions RIPE Meeting attendees are quite sensitive to keeping presentations non-commercial, and product marketing talks are strongly discouraged. Repeated audience feedback shows that the most successful talks focus on operational experience, research results, or case studies. For example, presenters wishing to describe a commercial solution should focus on the underlying technology and not attempt a product demonstration. Presenters should indicate how much time they will require. In general, the time allocated for the different presentation formats is as follows: - Plenary presentations: 20-25 minutes presentation with 5-10 minutes discussion - Tutorials: up to two hours (Monday morning) - Workshops: one hour (during evening sessions) to two hours (Monday morning) - BoFs: approximately one hour - Lightning talks: 10 minutes total for both presentation and any discussion The following general requirements apply: - Proposals must be submitted using the meeting submission system, https://ripe74.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/. - Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system (https://ripe74.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/) and can be submitted any time up to and including the meeting week. Allocation of lightning talks will start a few days before the meeting, and will continue throughout the meeting. During the meeting, they may be announced on the day before the talk or even on the same day as the talk. - Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system (https://ripe74.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/) and can be submitted any time up to and including the meeting week. The allocation of lightning talks will be announced on short notice, in some cases on the same day but often one day prior to the time slot allocated. - Presenters who propose a panel or BoF are encouraged to include speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral facilitator. - All presentation proposals will only be considered by the PC if they contain at least draft presentation slides (slides may be updated later on). For panels, proposals must contain a clear description, as well as the names of invited panellists, presenters and moderators. - Due to potential technical issues, presenters/panellists should be physically present at the RIPE Meeting. If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, please email pc [at] ripe [dot] net. -- Benno J. Overeinder NLnet Labs http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/

Passive Optical Network (PON)
by Kenneth McRae 23 Jan '17

23 Jan '17

Greeting all, Is anyone out there using PON in a campus or facility environment? I am talking to a few vendors who are pushing PON as a replacement for edge switching on the campus and in some cases, ToR switch in the DC. Opinions on this technology would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kenneth

DNS CAA records...
by Eric Tykwinski 21 Jan '17

21 Jan '17

So I’ve come across this on Qualys and just wondering if there’s any practical examples out there in the wild. I know some BIND guys are on here, so I’m sure I’m missing something from the RFCs. Just wanted to test this out on my play domains before putting it out in the wild... Sincerely, Eric Tykwinski TrueNet, Inc. P: 610-429-8300

Hi folks Is there any publication/report/new/plan on migration of Instagram to server the content over SSL? Facebook serves media on SSL (to my knowledge). So I wonder to know Instagram would go in that way as well.

Common Reliable Out Of Band Management Options at Carrier Hotels
by Darin Herteen 21 Jan '17

21 Jan '17

Greetings list, We are exploring standardizing our Out Of Band options across our network and various off-net locations and the question was brought up "What about carrier hotels? What constraints might present themselves at those locations?" Assuming each hotel we are located in can provide either Ethernet or DSL I'm guessing that is going to come a cost (cross-connects, rack space etc..) that might end up being cost prohibitive. So my inquiry is... What does the list find to be a reasonably priced yet reliable solution in carrier hotels for OOB? Or is that contradictory :) Thoughts on Cellular? Any experience/insight would be appreciated. Thanks, Darin
