AS Numbers unused/sitting for long periods of time
by James Breeden 03 Jan '18

03 Jan '18

Before I take this to the ARIN PPML, wanted to get NANOG's thoughts. I'm amazed at the number of AS numbers that are assigned, but not actively being used. I'm not talking just like they are offline for a week or month, this is complete non-use of the AS in the global routing table within *years*. They are completely abandoned resources - Whois data is inaccurate by 5-10 years, no routeviews data in the same time period, the owning organization (if you can find it) scratches their heads about responding whether they use it or not, etc. I know we're currently not in a push to get AS numbers or close to exhaustion, but I do believe that people who have global AS numbers should have a requirement to use them or return them to the global pool. Am I the only one thinking this? And before you come back with "Well they may be using it internally where it doesn't need to be in the GRT" - that's why we have Private AS numbers. I.e. some form of ARIN or global policy that basically says "If AS number not routed or whois updated or used in 24 months, said AS number can be public noticed via mailing list and website and then revoked and reissued to a pending, approved AS request" Just thinking aloud.

Spectrum prefix hijacks
by James Milko 03 Jan '18

03 Jan '18

Not sure if anyone from Spectrum is looking here at this hour, but someone is hijacking a few of your prefixes. It's causing problems in my area (NC) with reaching Google services. I'm sure there are other impacts, but that's what people are noticing. Sorry if this hits the list twice, I sent it from the wrong e-mail address the first go round. * 107.12.0.0/16 193.0.0.56 0 3333 1103 203040 10512 i *> 103.247.3.45 0 58511 203040 10512 i * 107.13.0.0/16 193.0.0.56 0 3333 1103 203040 10512 i *> 103.247.3.45 0 58511 203040 10512 i * 107.14.0.0/16 193.0.0.56 0 3333 1103 203040 10512 i Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path *> 103.247.3.45 0 58511 203040 10512 i * 107.15.0.0/16 193.0.0.56 0 3333 1103 203040 10512 i * 103.247.3.45 0 58511 203040 10512 i

Foundry FastIron
by Mike Hammett 02 Jan '18

A client of mine has some Foundry FastIron Edge X424HFs. Brocade and Extreme don't seem overly ambitious to help. Anyone have any documentation they can scrounge up? SFP compatibility list? The ones I see in there already look substantially like the ones I get from FiberStore, but that doesn't mean much. Do they still sell support on these? I'm largely just interested in newer firmware for them. I don't think they were updated since they left the factory and there are a few quirks I'm hoping they addressed at some point. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP

Maybe not. My client's upstream just said they released the prefix to their upstreams. They had previously referenced IRRs. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest-IX http://www.midwest-ix.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason Lixfeld" <jason-nanog(a)lixfeld.ca> To: "Mike Hammett" <nanog(a)ics-il.net> Cc: "NANOG list" <nanog(a)nanog.org> Sent: Monday, January 1, 2018 10:58:00 AM Subject: Re: Carrier IRR Update Frequency Cogent does IRR filtering?
