Scientists predict more major hurricanes than normal in 2020 season
by Sean Donelan 02 Apr '20

02 Apr '20

How is ISPs hurricane response planning going? https://thehill.com/homenews/news/490821-scientists-predict-more-major-hurr… Meteorologists are forecasting a significant hurricane and tropical storm season for the Atlantic coast in 2020, according to researchers at Colorado State University. [...] According to the early projections, there is a 69 percent chance that at least one major hurricane will make landfall along a U.S. coastline in 2020, compared to a regular average of 52 percent that has been reported over the last century. [...] "Two of the last three years have had major hurricane landfalls in the U.S.," Miller said. He added that before 2017, there was a 12-year drought without a single major hurricane landfall in the country, from Hurricane Wilma in 2005 to Hurricane Harvey in 2017.

RPKI OV implementation in route-map

Since it was a quiet day in early April, Ben and I whipped up something to generate config in industry standard format to mimic the RFC 6811 RPKI based BGP Origin Validation procedure. It uses the 'route-map' configuration construct found in some older BGP implementations. https://github.com/job/rpki-ov-route-map We didn't test this in production, but I reckon you can upload the generated output into the router's 'running-config' using a hourly crontab, TFTP, RANCID, and expect(1). Here is an example config to copy+paste. If we don't hear back from you we'll assume success. (warning: large text file) https://raw.githubusercontent.com/job/rpki-ov-route-map/master/example-rout… After applying the above you can reference 'rpki-ov' at each of your EBGP peers as ingress policy: "neighbor x.x.x.x route-map rpki-ov in". Be careful though, performance may not be as good as a native RPKI OV implementation! Cheers, Job & Ben

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
