is something weird going on with cox, level3, and/or cogent
by Miles Fidelman 13 Feb '17

13 Feb '17

Hi Folks, I'm visiting AZ, and seeing some really really poor performance accessing some of our servers via Cox broadband. The folks at Cox technical support are useless - all they say is "well you're on a DOCSIS 2 modem." Meanwhile, everything I'm seeing is several hops upstream of the local segment - and all that Cox level2 tech support will say is "if there was a backbone problem, our backbone people would have dealt with it." I'm having problems reaching both our own server, and sites like google, facebook, windows update. Traceroutes to and from our server are illustrative - note that for most of the past week, the average ping time was 85msec. Now we're seeing this: From 98.177.135.186 - the public IP address on Cox's local broadband service. To 107.154.13.58 (ntcorp.server - one of our servers, sitting in a Tierpoint data center, near Boston) traceroute to ntcorp.com (207.154.13.58), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets 1 10.128.128.1 (10.128.128.1) 199.893 ms 75.319 ms 27.295 ms 2 100.127.69.178 (100.127.69.178) 38.710 ms 40.075 ms 43.598 ms 3 72.215.229.22 (72.215.229.22) 39.674 ms 201.368 ms * 4 lag-157.bear2.phoenix1.level3.net (4.28.82.53) 686.499 ms 1837.141 ms 16.273 ms 5 ae-1-60.edge1.losangeles6.level3.net (4.69.144.16) 35.498 ms 964.377 ms * 6 ae-3-80.edge1.losangeles6.level3.net (4.69.144.144) 551.760 ms 525.014 ms ae-1-60.edge1.losangeles6.level3.net (4.69.144.16) 2061.191 ms 7 be3036.ccr41.lax04.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.14.129) 847.778 ms 87.601 ms 71.504 ms 8 be2965.ccr22.lax01.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.45.1) 79.060 ms 225.647 ms be2964.ccr21.lax01.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.44.77) 60.306 ms 9 * be2931.ccr21.phx02.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.44.85) 2264.071 ms 185.180 ms 10 be2929.ccr21.elp01.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.42.66) 61.208 ms be2930.ccr21.elp01.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.42.78) 386.149 ms 1278.868 ms 11 be2928.ccr22.iah01.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.30.161) 384.136 ms be2927.ccr41.iah01.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.29.221) 2339.833 ms 615.415 ms 12 be2690.ccr42.atl01.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.28.129) 233.061 ms be2687.ccr41.atl01.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.28.69) 87.902 ms be2690.ccr42.atl01.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.28.129) 861.159 ms 13 be2113.ccr42.dca01.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.24.221) 998.858 ms be2112.ccr41.dca01.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.7.157) 249.930 ms * 14 be2807.ccr42.jfk02.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.40.109) 768.461 ms be2806.ccr41.jfk02.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.40.105) 136.772 ms be2807.ccr42.jfk02.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.40.109) 288.225 ms 15 be2094.ccr21.bos01.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.30.14) 271.736 ms 166.224 ms be2096.ccr22.bos01.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.30.42) 565.015 ms 16 te0-4-1-7.agr22.bos01.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.80.34) 1944.479 ms te0-4-1-6.agr22.bos01.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.80.10) 149.803 ms te0-4-1-6.agr21.bos01.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.47.230) 897.115 ms 17 te0-0-2-0.nr11.b000254-0.bos01.atlas.cogentco.com (154.24.9.82) 107.207 ms te0-0-2-1.nr11.b000254-0.bos01.atlas.cogentco.com (154.24.9.78) 295.881 ms 185.453 ms 18 38.122.127.18 (38.122.127.18) 115.652 ms 461.168 ms 615.526 ms 19 207.154.0.57 (207.154.0.57) 1871.023 ms 1987.832 ms 2165.248 ms 20 server1.ntcorp.com (207.154.13.58) 587.560 ms 263.328 ms 333.542 ms Traceroute in the reverse direction: 1 207.154.13.47 (207.154.13.47) 0.000 ms 0.000 ms 0.000 ms 2 * * * 3 h130.207.190.173.static.ip.windstream.net (173.190.207.130) 0.000 ms 0.000 ms 0.000 ms 4 xe1-2-0-0.cr01.cley01-oh.us.windstream.net (40.128.250.166) 12.000 ms 12.000 ms 12.000 ms 5 et11-0-0-0.cr01.chcg01-il.us.windstream.net (40.128.248.71) 20.000 ms 20.000 ms 20.000 ms 6 10gigabitethernet4-1.core1.chi1.he.NET (206.223.119.37) 72.001 ms 20.000 ms 16.000 ms 7 chgobbrj01pos010100.r2.ch.cox.net (68.105.30.193) 20.000 ms 20.000 ms 20.000 ms 8 chnddsrj01-ae1.0.rd.ph.cox.net (68.1.5.211) 72.001 ms 72.001 ms 72.001 ms 9 * * * 10 * * * 11 * * * <snip> 30 * * * <looks like a lot of the later hops don't respond to pings> Two things jump out at me: 1.

(And I also note the earlier string of messages regarding youtube streaming problems - that also seemed to involve cox and level3. Thanks for any insight (and better, for any fixes!).

YouTube streaming failures
by Mel Beckman 12 Feb '17

12 Feb '17

We are getting many customer reports of YouTube streaming failures. The content directory and search work, but attempts to view videos results in "something went wrong, click to try again" error messages. We've reproduced the problem on AT&T, Level3, Frontier, Cox and Comast networks. We are also seeing it on cellular data connections, which tends to rule out geo-IP errors. Is anyone else seeing this? -mel beckman

Dev. Mfg & ISP Filtering Requirements as set forth in Florida HB337/SB0870, and under similar bills in about 30 other states...
by Kraig Beahn 10 Feb '17

10 Feb '17

There's a bill being widely circulated and passing thru various chambers of at least 30 states right now, commonly being referred to as the HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND CHILD EXPLOITATION PREVENTION ACT, or in Florida's case, we're apparently calling this the "HB 337:Internet Access" bill. Jokes, moral considerations and politics aside - Does anyone have any further information on potentially related bills passing thru states beyond Florida, and has anyone seriously considered the infrastructure changes/impairments necessary to comply, in the unusual event that HB337 or any of the many other bills in various other states passes? Edited HB Brief: An act relating to Internet access; prohibiting covered businesses from manufacturing, distributing, or selling certain devices unless the device contains an active and operating filter that blocks Internet access to specified types of sexually oriented material, prostitution, assignation, lewdness, and human trafficking; providing for injunctive relief for violations; providing requirements for a consumer to have such filter deactivated; requiring a filter deactivation fee and providing for the collection and distribution thereof; prohibiting the distribution or sale of certain devices without filters to minors and adults; providing criminal penalties; providing for jurisdiction to prosecute violations; providing for continuing duties of covered businesses; requiring covered businesses to respond to reports of obscene material that has breached the filter; providing for civil penalties for violations; requiring covered businesses to unblock non obscene material; exempting certain websites from filtering; amending s. 16.56, F.S.; authorizing the Office of Statewide Prosecution to prosecute violations; providing an effective date. The Full Text can be found here: FL/HB 337 <http://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2017/0337/BillText/__/PDF> On the technical side, you'd probably find yourself chuckling through this reading exercise. However, our regulatory attorney was assured this bill for which is currently under consideration is no laughing matter and is being seriously considered in a multitude of state venues, while others have been dismissive. We've initiated several calls with aide's for Rep. Spanos, the Florida House sponsor, and from what we can tell, the bill is far from the chopping block. Considering the technical impacts not only to internet access device manufacturers, and the implied impacts on service providers like ourselves, i'm surprised it hasn't garnered more attention, nationally. >From a curiosity perspective: The source of this bill appears to be an individual by the name Mark "Chris" Sevier, the same individual whom has virtually sued most of Silicon Valley, and I'll leave it at that in hopes of being able to keep this thread on a technical/legislative tone. NANOG note: Our objective in starting this tread is not to question the intent, moral purpose or potential political agendas surrounding Florida House Bill 337 or bills of similar nature, only it's technical impact on device manufacturers, internet access providers and other alike legislatively covered businesses, assuming passage, as currently written. --

IoT security
by William Herrin 10 Feb '17

10 Feb '17

This afternoon's panel about IoT's lack of security got me thinking... On the issue of ISPs unable to act on insecure devices because they can't detect the devices until they're compromised and then only have the largest hammer (full account ban) to act... What about some kind of requirement or convention that upon boot and successful attachment to the network (and maybe once a month thereafter), any IoT device must _by default_ emit a UDP packet to an anycast address reserved for the purpose which identifies the device model and software build. The ISP can capture traffic to that anycast address, compare the data against a list of devices known to be defective and, if desired, respond with a fail message. If the IoT device receives the fail message, it must try to report the problem to its owner and remove its default route so that it can only communicate on the local lan. The user can override the fail and if desired configure the device not to emit the init messages at all. But by default the ISP is allowed to disable the device by responding to the init message. Would have to cryptographically sign the fail message and let the device query the signer's reputation or something like that to avoid the obvious security issue. Obvious privacy issues to consider. Anyway, throwing it out there as a potential discussion starting point. The presentation on bandwidth policers... Seems like we could use some form of ICMP message similar to destination unreachable that provides some kind of arbitrary string plus the initial part of the dropped packet. One of the potential strings would be an explicit notice to the sender that packets were dropped and the bandwidth available. Yes, we already have ECN, but ECN tells the receiver about congestion, not the sender. More to the point, ECN can only be flagged on packets that are passed, not the packets that are dropped, so the policer would have to be complicated enough to note on the next packet that the prior packet was dropped. Also, ECN only advises that you're close to the limit not any information about the policer's target limit. This thought is not fully baked. Throwing it out for conversation purposes.
