Arista Layer3
by Romeo Czumbil 09 Mar '19

09 Mar '19

So I've been using Arista as layer2 for quite some time, and I'm pretty happy with them. Kicking the idea around to turn on some Layer3 features but I've been hearing some negative feedback. The people that I did hear negative feedback don't use Arista themselves. (they just heard....) So do we have any Arista L3 people out here that can share some negatives or positives? Use case: Just some MPLS IPv4/IPv6 routing, l2vpn OSPF/BGP Maybe 20k routes (no full internet routes) 7050 Series 7280 Series -Romeo

IPv6 Residential Deployment Survey
by John Curran 24 Jan '19

24 Jan '19

NANOGers - If you are providing residential Internet service with IPv6 (or are a customer of same), please take a moment to complete Jordi’s survey - this will help provide insight into the actual technical practices being used in residential IPv6 deployment. More details in attached email - Thanks! /John Begin forwarded message: From: John Curran <jcurran(a)arin.net<mailto:jcurran@arin.net>> Subject: [arin-ppml] IPv6 Residential Deployment Survey Date: May 22, 2016 at 6:24:17 AM GMT+2 To: ARIN PPML <ppml(a)arin.net<mailto:ppml@arin.net>> Folks - Jordi Palet Martínez is conducting a brief survey regarding IPv6 deployment in residential Internet service. Having insight into the various practices that are in use may help to inform IPv6 number resource policy development, and thus I ask that you take a moment to complete the survey if you are providing such services (whether production or trial basis.) Jordi notes - "The results will be published and updated every month or so - No personal data will be published. (If you know your network, it takes less than 2 minutes to complete it) The survey can be responded even if is not yet a commercial service, and customers can also respond, not just the ISP. However, to avoid duplicate data, make sure to include the country and ISP name.” The IPv6 Residential Deployment Survey may be found here - <http://survey.consulintel.es/index.php/175122> Thanks! /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN

Hulu

Could someone from Hulu reach out to me? My customers are getting the anonymous proxy page and I'm not sure why. They don't have any contact info in peeringdb and their ARIN whois looks more generic than useful (ipadmin@). ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest-IX http://www.midwest-ix.com

Puerto Rico Internet Exchange
by Mehmet Akcin 16 Sep '18

16 Sep '18

Hey there! ... ok this time I am not going to call it PRIX ;) well name doesn't matter really. Nearly 13 years ago I have attempted to start Puerto rico Internet exchange in San Juan. I have lived there over 5 years and i just wanted to really watch videos faster. The project somewhat died when i moved to LA but now there are few interested party to start an internet exchange in Puerto rico. The jsland historically had one of the slowest broadband/internet services which seemed to have improved in recent years however as of 2017 there still is not an IX in Puerto rico. We , 3-4 internet engineers (on island and remote) , want to look into relaunch of this IX and hopefully find a way to keep local traffic exchanged at high speeds and low cost. We need expertise, and people who want to help any way they can. We are trying to make this IX a not-for-profit one and we are looking at opeeating models to adapt which has worked incredibly well like Seattle IX. We are hoping the relaunch to happen sometime in 2018. Thanks in advance hope to share more info and traffic data sometime , soon. Watch this space! Mehmet

California fires: smart speakers and emergency alerts
by Sean Donelan 01 Aug '18

01 Aug '18

Has anyone heard if the smart speaker companies (Amazon Echo, Google Home) plan to include emergency alert capability? An estimate 10% of households own a smart speaker, and Gartner (well-known for its forecasting accuracy) predicts 75% of US households will have a smart speaker by 2020. Although most silicon valley tech nerds are still in the "invincible" years, were the california fires close enough to silicon valley that smart speaker developers might think an emergency could affect them. And an emergency alert capability in their smart speakers might be important?

DSL Operators Mailing List?

Is there a good mailing list for DSL operators? A cursory search really only came up with DSL Reports, which is far from what I'm looking for. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP

How are you configuring BFD timers?
by Jason Lixfeld 07 May '18

07 May '18

Hey, For those running BFD on your land-based point-to-point links, I’m interested in hearing about what factors you consider when deciding how to configure your timers and multiplier. On paper, BFD between two devices over a local or metro dark fibre or wave seems pretty trivial: Assuming your gear can a) support echo mode b) hardware offloads echo processing c) automatically treats echos as vital and puts them into the appropriate high priority queue, then setting the timers down to their lowest possible values (3ms on some of the gear that I’ve seen) and some low multiplier seems more than reasonable. But? From another angle, your link isn’t dark fibre or a wave but, for example, ethernet over some sort of IP based L2 Transport, and is still a low (sub 1ms) one-way latency local or metro link. How do you set your timers, and what do you base that on? From yet another angle, what if your link is a long-haul wave, or for that matter a wave of any distance that imposes a one-way latency that is higher than the minimum tx and rx timers that are supported by your gear? We’ll assume an unprotected wave, because I’m sure if it’s protected, you have no choice but to consider the one-way latency of the longest of the two segments. I made some assumptions above about support for echo mode and hardware offload, but what if (some of) your gear doesn’t support some or all of that stuff? How do you factor your configuration decisions? Thanks!

Checking on best practice being followed with regards to enabling NSF or NSR or both on ASR 9k. Which option can be beneficial and considered to be a standard approach. Thanks!

Open Souce Network Operating Systems
by Colton Conor 04 May '18

04 May '18

If one were to deploy whitebox switches, X86 servers, low cost ARM and MIBPS CPE devices, and basically anything that can run linux today, what network operating system would you recommend? The goal would be to have a universal network operating system that runs across a variety of devices. >From low cost residential CPE's with wifi to switches to BGP speaking routers. Is there anything that can do it all today? I will use something like OpenWRT as an example. I don't consider this anywhere near carrier grade, but it runs on X86 and low cost routers. I don't think it will run on whitebox switches though. Mikrotik RouterOS would be another example as it can run on low cost Routerboards, and X86 servers. But it is not opensouce. Is there any up and coming projects to look into?
