Documenting hardware
by Dovid Bender 20 Jun '18

20 Jun '18

I am sure this has been covered in the past but I can't seem to find it. We need a simple solution to document connections in the date center. We don't need anything fancy (e.g. something that will probe our hardware). We need something where we can enter what switch ports are connected to what servers the vlans for each port etc. TIA.

Sourcing Dell servers in Buenos Aires (AR)
by Elmar K. Bins 20 Jun '18

20 Jun '18

Hi helpful people around the world, we are currently at a loss of sourcing Dell servers (R630 etc.) for our Buenos Aires datacenter... can anybody here jump in and provide us with hardware there short-term, or recommend a local dealer? We need to upgrade quickly, and estimates for import run in weeks to months :-( Yours, Elmar.

I don't particularly like having misdirected traffic or badly configured hosts sending junk to those who happen to be announcing addresses from this prefix. I'm planning on adding this to a bogon filter here. John

Well, yes, there is, you simply have to break the end to end encryption On 06/17/2018 03:09 AM, Matthew Petach wrote: > Except that if websites are set to HTTPS only, there's no option for > disabling encryption on the client side. > > Matt > > > On Sat, Jun 16, 2018, 14:47 <nanog(a)jack.fr.eu.org> wrote: > >> On 06/16/2018 10:13 PM, Mike Hammett wrote: >>> Sadly, it's just falling on deaf ears.

BGP in a containers
by james jones 18 Jun '18

18 Jun '18

I am working on an personal experiment and was wondering what is the best option for running BGP in a docker base container. I have seen a lot blogs and docs referencing Quagga. I just want to make sure I am not over looking any other options before I dive in. Any thoughts or suggestions? -James

Google Peering/Edge Network Contact?
by Zach Puls 18 Jun '18

18 Jun '18

Does anyone have a contact for Google Peering / PNI? We have a caching appliance whose BGP session has been flapping nonstop for the past month or so. We've had a ticket open with Google since it started, but they haven't really made any headway, or provided much of a response.

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

Hi Any thought leader on the list to shed some light to what is happening in the world of open networking ? OVS vs OpenNSL vs Cumulus vs fd.io vs Snabb vs a lot of stuff :) Where is this going ? What are the obvious pros and cons of each when it comes to scale and feature velocity ? https://www.reddit.com/r/networking/comments/8r0afq/is_their_any_truth_to_t… Danke
