Has Anyone managed to get Delegated RPKI working with ARIN
by Christopher Munz-Michielin 02 Apr '20

02 Apr '20

Hi Nanog, Posting here since my Google-fu is coming up short. I'm trying to setup delegated RPKI in ARIN using rpki.net's rpkid Python daemon and am running into an issue submitting the identity file to ARIN's control panel. The same file submitted to RIPE's test environment at https://localcert.ripe.net/#/rpki works without issue, while submitting to ARIN results in "Invalid Identity.xml file." The guide I'm following is this one: https://github.com/dragonresearch/rpki.net/blob/master/doc/quickstart/xenia… and I'm able to get as far as generating the identity file. Wondering if anyone has gone down this road before and has any helpful hints to make this work? Cheers, Chris

The Cost of Paid Peering with Chinese ISPs
by Pengxiong Zhu 02 Apr '20

02 Apr '20

Hi folks, We got plenty of positive responses in our last email regarding China's slow transnational network. Many are suggesting it is likely influenced by commercial decisions instead of censorship. It seems like the three Chinese ISPs don't really have enough peering internationally in Asia, and they have very strong bargaining power when it comes to peering. Some suggest the cost of moving data to China is way lower if an ISP peers with US/European ISPs than directly with the Chinese ISPs. We assume the reason why those US/European ISPs offer cheaper prices is that they have settlement-free peering with Chinese ISPs. However, the "free-tier" capacity is simply not enough to handle the demand -- the US/European ISPs now have way more traffic going into China, thus saturating the link and causing congestion. So we are wondering, do the Tier-1 US/European ISPs really have settlement-free peering with Chinese ISPs? If we want to do paid peering directly with the Chinese ISPs or purchase the full/partial transit, what is the price range? >From the BGP information, we know some of the peers of AS4134 (the biggest one) are: - Telia Carrier(AS1299) - Cogent Communications(AS174) - NTT Communications (America)(AS2914) - Level3(AS3356) - Tata Communications(America) Inc (AS6453) - Verizon Business/UUnet(AS701) - Zayo Bandwidth(AS6461) - AT&T Services, Inc.(AS7018) - GTT Communications Inc.(AS3257) - Comcast Cable Communications, LLC(AS7922) It would be much appreciated if the operators of any such networks can give chime in. Thanks! Regards, Pengxiong Zhu Department of Computer Science and Engineering University of California, Riverside

Pricing looks good, considering them for cheap backhaul as a tertiary path. Anybody have experience with them for just IP transit? -- Shawn

Cloudflare Contacts
by John Von Essen 01 Apr '20

01 Apr '20

Could someone from Cloudflare contact me off-list? I work for a major search engine (not google or bing), and we just launched some assets in Brazil, seeing some weird behavior to Cloudflare CDN assets and thinking maybe we are being caught in some kind of filter/block. Our image search traffic is proxied through a single IP, so its definitely high volume. We’ve never had an issue in other regions, but it could due to the sudden increase. Thanks John Von Essen
