GAO Report: FCC Should Improve Monitoring of Industry Efforts to Strengthen Wireless Network Resiliency
by Sean Donelan 10 Jan '18

10 Jan '18

https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-18-198 FCC Should Improve Monitoring of Industry Efforts to Strengthen Wireless Network Resiliency What GAO Found The number of wireless outages attributed to a physical incident—a natural disaster, accident, or other manmade event, such as vandalism—increased from 2009 to 2016, as reported to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). During this time, the number of outages substantially increased from 189 to 1,079 outages, with most of the increase occurring from 2009 to 2011. FCC officials said this increase was due in part to growth in wireless customers and wireless infrastructure. Almost all outages attributed to a physical incident were due to an accident, such as damage to a cable due to a digging error (74 percent) or a natural disaster (25 percent). However, outages due to a natural disaster had a longer median duration (ranging from 19 to 36 hours), which was more than twice as long as outages caused by an accident. Power failures and failures in other providers' networks also play a role in wireless outages attributed to physical incidents. For instance, carriers reported that 87 percent of wireless outages attributed to a physical incident were due to a failure in another provider's network on which they rely.

GTV-ETH-2-COAX - Is this HomePNA?
by Ray Van Dolson 09 Jan '18

https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.amazon.com_GefenTV… Looking at doing a one-off extension over RG6 and have these devices in hand. Anyone know if they're HPNA? Manual I have found doesn't specify, but frequency ranges don't appear to be MoCA (but also don't appear to be HPNA 1.3). Comparing to these: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.amazon.com_TRENDne… Ray

Any experience with FS hardware out there?
by Bryan Holloway 09 Jan '18

09 Jan '18

Fiberstore is rolling out some CRAZY cheap 100Gbps switches, and I'm curious if anyone in the community has any thoughts or real-life world experience with them. E.g.: https://www.fs.com/products/69340.html For the price point, it's almost in the "too good to be true" category. Naturally it claims to support an impressive range of features including BGP, IS-IS, OSPF, MPLS, VRFs, blah blah blah. There was an earlier discussion about packet buffer issues, but, assuming for a second that it's not an issue, can anyone say they've used these and/or the L2/L3 features that they purportedly support? Thanks! - bryan

Site-Local/Unique-Local Addressing (IPv6)
by Nicholas Warren 08 Jan '18

08 Jan '18

Layman here, I was reviewing RFCs for a local address for IPv6. I came across two RFCs that seem interesting. 3879 Which deprecates Site Local Addresses. 4193 Which seems to add Unique Local Addresses. What is the main difference here? Why was this standard removed then added back? Thanks, Nich Warren

I've tried an assortment of e-mail addresses for Level 3 and LightCore (the ASN that placed the entry, conveniently now all under the same roof) to get a record removed from their IRR. I appreciate any good contacts offline. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP

Spectre/Meltdown impact on network devices
by Jean | ddostest.me 08 Jan '18

08 Jan '18

Hello, I'm curious to hear the impact on network devices of this new hardware flaws that everybody talk about. Yes, the Meltdown/Spectre flaws. I know that some Arista devices seem to use AMD chips and some say that they might be immune to one of these vulnerability. Still, it's possible to spawn a bash shell in these and one with limited privileges could maybe find some BGP/Ospf/SNMP passwords. Maybe it's also possible to leak a full config. I understand that one need access but still it could be possible for one to social engineer a NOC user, hijack the account with limited access and maybe run the "exploit". I know it's a lot of "if" and "maybe", but still I'm curious what is the status of big networking systems? Are they vulnerable? Thanks Jean
