Myanmar internet - something to think about if you're having a bad day
by scott 29 Apr '21

29 Apr '21

These network operators are having to deal with really bad days! "At gunpoint, they ordered technicians at telecom operators to switch off the internet." A whole other level of 'bad day' than we have to deal with! "The method of choice is to decouple website addresses from the series of numbers a computer needs to look up specific sites, a practice akin to listing a wrong number under a person’s name in a phone book." I am assuming they mean they are putting false info in the DNS. ? https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/23/world/asia/myanmar-coup-firewall-interne… -------------------------------------------------------------------- "The Myanmar soldiers descended before dawn on Feb. 1, bearing rifles and wire cutters. At gunpoint, they ordered technicians at telecom operators to switch off the internet. For good measure, the soldiers snipped wires without knowing what they were severing..." "The military is afraid of the online activities of people so they tried to block and shut down the internet...But now international bank transactions have stopped, and the country’s economy is declining. It’s like their urine is watering their own face.” "Myanmar’s two foreign-owned telecom operators, Telenor and Ooredoo, have complied with numerous demands from the military..." -------------------------------------------------------------------- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ooredoo "is Qatari multinational telecommunications company headquartered in Doha, Qatar." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telenor "is a Norwegian majority state-owned multinational telecommunications company headquartered at Fornebu in Baerum, close to Oslo." Telenor and Ooredoo, it's time to do the right thing. scott ps. good thing for them they didn't snip DC power lines...

EMail server gets blocked by Microsoft
by Dominque Roux 28 Apr '21

Hi All, is there anyone out there who has some experience with the blocking mechanism of Microsofts mail server? We're running a mail server at our company which ends up on their blacklist from time to time and we're wondering if there are some steps we could take in order to prevent this. Cheers, Dominique

TC x IRRd 4.2
by Rubens Kuhl 28 Apr '21

28 Apr '21

Hi all. TC IRR, an IRR operator focused on Brazilian networks, just changed to IRRd 4.2. The new version allowed TC to deploy RPKI validation (thanks NTT for sponsoring that development) and expose HTTPS endpoints for WHOIS and submission that we hope will foster innovation around the database. Every precaution was taken for this migration to be seamless for other IRR operators, including matching of serial numbers. Every IRR server that mirrored TC and supported -j status query was verified that it followed and still correctly follows database journals. But if anything appears broken, please let me know or e-mail db-admin(a)bgp.net.br. Thanks, Rubens

Verizon Wireless
by Chris Whelan 27 Apr '21

27 Apr '21

Hello everyone, I know this is a long shot, but I'm hoping someone on here works for Verizon Wireless or knows someone that is in a position to assist us. Recently, a change to call routing occurred and Verizon Wireless calls are now being delivered across our tandem instead of a SIP peer. Ideally, I would like to establish a SIP trunk to Verizon Wireless but changing the call flow is the short term goal. Thanks in advance for your help!

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

You may want to join the mailop mailing list: List-Archive: <https://list.mailop.org/private/mailop/> List-Post: <mailto:mailop@mailop.org> List-Subscribe: <https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop>, <mailto:mailop-request@mailop.org?subject=subscribe> and ask there as it seems more applicable to that list, and is a common topic of discussion there.
