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?

Impacts of Encryption Everywhere (any solution?)
by Mike Hammett 17 Jun '18

17 Jun '18

Has anyone outside of tech media, Silicon Valley or academia (all places wildly out of touch with the real world) put much thought into the impacts of encryption everywhere? So often we hear about how we need the best modern encryption on all forms of communication because of whatever scary thing is trendy this week (Russia, NSA, Google, whatever). HTTPS your marketing information and generic education pieces because of the boogeyman! However, I recently came across a thread where someone was exploring getting a one megabit connection into their village and sharing it among many. The crowd I referenced earlier also believes you can't Internet under 100 megabit/s per home. Apparently, the current best Internet the residents of the village can get is 40 kilobit/s. Zero oversubscription gets a better service to up to 25 homes. Likely that could be stretched to at least 50 or 100 homes and be better than what they currently have. Forget about streaming video, let's just focus on web browsing and messaging. However, this could be wildly improved with caching ala squid or something similar. The problem is that encrypted content is difficult to impossible for your average Joe to cache. The rewards for implementing caching are greatly mitigated and people like this must suffer a worse Internet experience because of some ideological high horse in a far-off land. Some things certainly do need to be encrypted, but encrypting everything means people with limited Internet access get worse performance OR mechanisms have to be out in place to break ALL encryption, this compromising security and privacy when it's really needed. To circle back to being somewhat on-topic, what mechanisms are available to maximize the amount of traffic someone in this situation could cache? The performance of third-world Internet depends on you. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest-IX http://www.midwest-ix.com

3rd party QSFP-100G-LR4-S for Cisco
by Ryugo Kikuchi 10 Jun '18

10 Jun '18

Hey all, Does anyone have a recommended model of 3rd party's "QSFP-100G-LR4-S" for Cisco ASR and Nexus? Cisco's original 100G SFP costs us an arm and a leg, so we want to try to use 3rd party 100g SFP. But we are not sure which manufacturer's SFP is reliable or has good performance. Does anyone have experience? Many thanks, Roy

Subsea availability
by Mehmet Akcin 07 Jun '18

07 Jun '18

Hello there, I am working on a masters project idea to create an interactive map of the world’s subsea cables (cls to cla without local loops from cls to dc) I would like to know if anyone have worked with something like this in the past, and whether you think it would be cool to have a map where you can see subsea cable availability. I am also going to be at nanog denver to talk about this project with people. Let me know if you are available and interested in talking on ways to collaborate. I have few ideas on how to make this work with using ripe atlas probe like devices installed in strategic locations. Mehmet
