Team, We are having issues in our Virginia US office & it shows geolocation in all browsers as Canada instead of US region when we access news.google.com in our PC. Our public ip is 129.46.232.65. This issue is being observed for more than 2 month. Can you help to whom we can contact to resolve the issue. Regards, Raja

Getting Fiber to My Town by Jared Mauch
by Jared Brown 11 Aug '22

11 Aug '22

I believe this belongs here: Getting Fiber to My Town by Jared Mauch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASXJgvy3mEg (YouTube video of NLnog presentation) https://nlnog.net/static/live/nlnog_live_sep_2020_jared.pdf (slides for presentation) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24424910#24430901 (discussion on Hacker News with Jared participating) https://washftth.com/ (project homepage) I find this an interesting description of how to apply skills that we normally only use at work to solve connectivity issues at home. Quite timely too, as home connectivity is needed more than ever. Highlights: - location: just outside of Ann Arbor - no fixed broadband since 2002 -> build own network - pre-wire neighbors with fiber drops and feed them off WISP first - lots of work to sign up customers, having to resort to snailmail to reach all - 70% of homes passed signed up - Have ASN, get IPv6 and IPv4 allocation, multihome and connect to local IXP - purchase equipment: fusion splicer, OTDR, materials, directional drill(!) - hire contractors, deal with all manner of problems, theft, stop work orders, unbudgeted costs, unmarked/badly marked utilities, hitting (own) utilities - build own fiber blower(!) for blowing in fiber in ducts - splice, OTDR, resplice, schedule installs ... which don't always go to plan - Upstream very helpful, offered a Cisco 6500 as CPE, however respectfuly declined and went with Arista - Link up! Network is now live with 17 subscribers hooked up. More waiting to be connected - Mixed Active Ethernet and GPON - latency drops from 30 ms to 8 ms, bandwidth from 20-30M to 730M, total commit 1.5G on 10G port, plans from 50M to 500M - SPAM! IPv4 brokers and the usual unsolicited contacts from bottom of the baller IP transit providers - Costs: $126k in 2020, $95k contractors, $32k materials and equipment. Total outlay ~$150k + years of sweat equity. Important to spread out costs over longer period of time to be able to afford. Offset costs by using pre-pay model (Can pay $5,000 up-front and receive $50 credit for 100 months) All in all it was an excellent presentation. I only wish Jared had spent some more time on how he had to become a telco and how this got him better access to the public right of way. Of course, some more details on his directional boring and some nice video of him running the drill would have been a cherry on top :) I'd like to congratulate Jared on lighting up his network and wish him success in running it. I did a similar build almost twenty years ago and regret I didn't have the forethought to document the effort better then. Not that there was a YouTube to put it all on then :) You can find the other presentations from NLnog live September 2020 at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVz78FbsOJ6v6xb6S2GpvWQ Jared, not the Mauch one

DoD IP Space
by Chris Knipe 27 Apr '21

27 Apr '21

Hi Guys, Except for the email on ARIN's details, does anyone else have a contact for the DoD? We are experiencing a situation with a 3rd party (direct peer), wanting to advertise DoD address space to us, and we need to confirm whether they are allowed to do so or not. Range in question is the 22.0.0.0/8 network, which according to ARIN is actively assigned to the DoD (US). -- Regards, Chris Knipe

Apple Catalina Appears to Introduce Massive Jitter
by Mark Tinka 04 Dec '20

04 Dec '20

Hi all. I've been on High Sierra for several years now due to a limitation with an app that couldn't deal with Apple's latest rounds of system permissions since Mojave. Eventually, I gave up on waiting for them to fix it and upgraded my older Butterfly keyboard laptop to Catalina 4 weeks ago. At the same time, I picked up the new Magic keyboard laptop 2 weeks ago which came with Catalina. Over the past week, I've been troubleshooting a massive jitter issue on Catalina, just between itself and my home router. For control, I have a Windows PC (tower-top) using a wireless adapter to connect to my home network. That has no jitter at all. I have noticed as much as 300ms+ jitter on Catalina. I then asked a few friends around the world to run tests for me on their own Catalina installations to their local router over wi-fi, and the results are the same. Jitter so high that what should be a 1ms - 5ms latency can (for a short period) jump to 200ms+, 300ms+, 400ms+. On the off-chance that it is an issue with the new wireless chips on the later MacBook models, one of my friends tested the same on a 2013 MacBook Pro running a beta version of Big Sur. Same story! Another friend in South East Asia, testing on a 2018 13-inch MacBook Pro running Catalina, also had the same issue. A Google search suggests that this is some known issue since Mojave, to do with Location Services, and some other apps, in a non-deterministic way: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/263638/macbook-pro-experiencing-p… For me, even after disabling all or some Location Services features, the problem remains. Is anyone else seeing this on their Catalina Mac's while on wi-fi? If so, does anyone know what's going on here? Ideally, this wouldn't matter if it was just a cosmetic issue - but I do actually see physical impact to performance of network access to/from the laptop, which has all the hallmarks of high jitter and/or packet loss. An app like Zoom, which can display network performance data for a session in real-time, does indicate nominal packet loss for audio and video on this device, while other devices on the same WLAN are happy. Thoughts? Mark.

IRR Explorer Error/Issue
by Kevin McCormick 01 Dec '20

01 Dec '20

Hello everyone, There seems to an issue with IRR Explorer. I check the following prefix and I get the message, “The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application.” http://irrexplorer.nlnog.net/search/216.71.119.0/24 I am also seeing ARIN records are not updating on IRR Explorer. That prefix should show the ASN under ARIN for the ARIN IRR route that is registered. We are also advertising the prefix and which being advertised by Hurricane, but IRR Explorer does not see the route advertised by BGP. The website has been like this since yesterday when I first checked. Thank you, Kevin McCormick

AT&T - INET Data Caps
by Thomas Yarger 30 Nov '20

Hello All, This past week when I was helping my father perform some home networking, I called AT&T to get a newer Arris router and they mentioned that if I were to upgrade his service, he would fall under a 1 TB data cap for home internet. Is this just in FL or have others seen similar restrictions with AT&T? Thanks! -- Thanks, Thomas Yarger

Cable Company Hotspots
by Rod Beck 30 Nov '20

30 Nov '20

Hey Gang, How do the cable companies generally deliver this service? A friend insists it piggybacks off the WIFI radios of existing cable company subscribers. In other words, the cable company WIFI router in a flat is providing both a private link for the flat's subscriber, but also a public hotspot service. I concede it is possible, but I am skeptical that the high quality of hotspot service we get here in Budapest could be achieved that way.
