CDN-provided caching platforms?
by Russell Berg 06 Apr '18

06 Apr '18

I work for a regional Midwestern US "Tier 2" ISP that provides both wholesale and enterprise Internet connectivity. We have caching platforms in place from the likes of Akamai, Google, Netflix, and Facebook; I was wondering if there are other CDN caching platforms out there we should be researching/deploying? PM me if more appropriate... TIA Russ Russell Berg Chief Technology Officer WIN / Airstream Communications (AS 11796) P: 715-832-3726 | C: 715-579-8227 www.wins.net<http://www.wins.net/>

Why doesn't "Cloudflare 1.1.1.1" compress root answers?
by Bjørn Mork 05 Apr '18

05 Apr '18

At first I thought they had disabled compression: bjorn@miraculix:~$ dig . ns @1.1.1.1|grep SIZE ;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 431 bjorn@miraculix:~$ dig . ns @8.8.8.8|grep SIZE ;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 239 bjorn@miraculix:~$ dig . ns @9.9.9.9|grep SIZE ;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 239 But then I noticed that they *do* compress other names: bjorn@miraculix:~$ dig net ns @1.1.1.1|grep SIZE ;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 253 bjorn@miraculix:~$ dig net ns @8.8.8.8|grep SIZE ;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 253 bjorn@miraculix:~$ dig net ns @9.9.9.9|grep SIZE ;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 253 Which just makes it even more confusing. What's so special about root? Except for the obvious :-) Bjørn

NG Firewalls & IPv6
by Joe Klein 05 Apr '18

05 Apr '18

All, At security and network tradeshows over the last 15 years, I have asked companies if their products supported "IPv6". They all claimed they did, but were unable to verify any successful installations. Later they told me it was on their "Roadmap" but were unable to provide an estimated year, because it was a trade secret. Starting this last year at BlackHat US, I again visited every product booth, asking if their products supported dual-stack or IPv6 only operations. Receiving only the same unsupported answers, I decided to focus on one product category. To the gurus of the NANOG community, What are your experiences with installing and managing Next Generations firewalls? Do they support IPv6 only environments? Details? Stories? If you prefer not to disparage those poor product companies, please contact me off the list.

validating reachability via an ISP
by Andy Litzinger 05 Apr '18

05 Apr '18

Hi all, I have an enterprise network and do not provide transit. In one of our datacenters we have our own prefixes and rely on two ISPs as BGP neighbors to provide global reachability for our prefixes. One is a large regional provider and the other is a large global provider. Recently we took our link to the global provider offline to perform maintenance on our router. Nearly immediately we were hit with alerts that our prefix was unreachable and BGPMon alerted that nearly 80 AS's noted our route had been withdrawn. We were not unreachable from every AS, but we certainly were from some of the largest. The root cause is that the our prefix is not being adequately re-distributed globally by the regional ISP. This is unexpected and we are working through this with them now. My question is, how can I monitor global reachability for a prefix via this or any specific provider I use over time? Are there various route-servers I can programmatically query for my prefix and get results that include AS paths? Then I could verify that an "acceptable" number of paths exist that include the AS of the all the ISPs I rely upon. And what would an "acceptable" number of alternate paths be? thanks in advance, -andy

Hi Alex, Thanks for the link to the qrator API. The get-all-paths is interesting and the output does seem to show exactly the type of data I'm looking for. Is there some place on the site that lists who Qrator peers with to get your data? I searched through the site and couldn't find it. I'm trying to get an idea of the breadth of data and whether i can comfortably rely on it giving me a global view. Also, how do I authorize programmatic requests to the API? I created a user and can use it to run the queries from the web page, but I don't see how to use it directly with the API. thanks! -andy On Thu, Mar 29, 2018 at 8:23 AM, Alexander Azimov <aa(a)qrator.net> wrote: > Hi Andy, > > You can use Qrator.Radar API: https://api.radar.qrator.net/. > The get-all-paths method will return the set of active paths for selected > prefix. > > PS: I'm sorry if you receive this message two times, something funny is > happening with my emails on NANOG mailing list. > > 2018-03-29 18:09 GMT+03:00 Alexander Azimov <aa(a)qrator.net>: > >> Hi Andy, >> >> You can use Qrator.Radar API: https://api.radar.qrator.net/. >> The get-all-paths method will return the set of active paths for selected >> prefix. >> >> >> 2018-03-29 2:22 GMT+03:00 Andy Litzinger <andy.litzinger.lists(a)gmail.com> >> : >> >>> Hi all, >>> I have an enterprise network and do not provide transit.

Also, there is the risk of getting updates that will disable some features, if there is a change in the commercial strategy of the vendor <https://boingboing.net/2016/09/19/hp-detonates-its-timebomb-pri.html>. All these risks are documented in RFC 8240, a highly recommended reading. ------------------------------------------- Regarding the HP example story, won't natural attrition fix this? My stuff has been in storage for well over a year for various reasons and if I pull out my HP printer (which has non-HP cartridges) and it does this to me, I surely won't get another one. I'm also sure I'd be the norm on this as it would anger other non-technical HP customers, as well. (I was on the fence with HP anyway as they try to take over my equipment too much) scott ps. Who knows, I don't let my printer talk outside my network anyway, so maybe I didn't get the update.

Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 public DNS broken w/ AT&T CPE
by Jeremy L. Gaddis 03 Apr '18

03 Apr '18

Greetings, If anyone at 7018 wants to pass a message along to the correct folks, please let them know that Cloudflare's new public DNS service (1.1.1.1) is completely unusable for at least some of AT&T's customers. There is apparently a bug with some CPE (including the 5268AC). From behind such CPE, the services at 1.1.1.1 are completely unreachable, whether via (ICMP) ping, DNS, or HTTPS. Using the 5268AC's web-based diagnostic tools, pinging 1.1.1.1 returns the following results: ping successful: icmp seq:0, time=2.364 ms ping successful: icmp seq:1, time=1.085 ms ping successful: icmp seq:2, time=1.160 ms ping successful: icmp seq:3, time=1.245 ms ping successful: icmp seq:4, time=0.739 ms RTTs to the CPE's default gateway are, at minimum, ~20 ms. A traceroute (using the same web-based diagnostic tool built-in to the CPE) reports, simply: traceroute 1.1.1.1 with: 64 bytes of data 1: 1.1.1.1(1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com), time=0 ms I haven't bothered to report this to AT&T through the standard customer support channels (for reasons that should be obvious to anyone who has ever called AT&T's consumer/residential technical support) but if anyone at AT&T wants to pass the info along to the appropriate group, it would certainly be appreciated. Thanks, -Jeremy -- Jeremy L. Gaddis "The total budget at all receivers for solving senders' problems is $0.

Re: New DNS Service

And any consensus regarding the service? My layman question is how does this provide privacy? The routers still need to know the IP address of the far end point. I would assume that it would be easy to deduce the domain name from the IP address. - R. ________________________________ From: Andy Ringsmuth <andy(a)andyring.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 3, 2018 4:03 PM To: Rod Beck Cc: nanog(a)nanog.org Subject: Re: New DNS Service > On Apr 3, 2018, at 8:55 AM, Rod Beck <rod.beck(a)unitedcablecompany.com> wrote: > > https://techxplore.com/news/2018-04-dns-privacy.html [https://3c1703fe8d.site.internapcdn.net/newman/gfx/news/hires/2018/dnsservi…]<https://techxplore.com/news/2018-04-dns-privacy.html> DNS service announced, puts privacy first<https://techxplore.com/news/2018-04-dns-privacy.html> techxplore.com A new service that is offering privacy protection when you browse the web was announced Sunday.
