AMS-IX @ 350 Cermak issue?
by Bryan Holloway 28 Oct '22

28 Oct '22

Anyone else having issues with AMS-IX at 350 Cermak? Our circuit has been bouncing on and off all day. I'd suspect our optics/port, except that when it's up, some BGP sessions come up, but not all. The ones that don't come up aren't pingable. Leads me to believe it's not us. E-mails to their NOC have gone unanswered. Thanks all ...

Equinix routeservers (MLPE) behavior c/f no_export
by Elmar K. Bins 28 Oct '22

28 Oct '22

Hi guys (and others), I couldn't find an official description/explanation of this (EQX docs only mention that this should behave the same as their "set the no_export" TE community. We are using Equinix' IXP platform's routeserver service (MLPE) in a few locations on the planet, and due to the nature of our anycast structure, we are sending our prefixes with the well-known NO_EXPORT community attached. It seems to me that, at least in some places (i.e. Warsaw, ex-PLIX), the routeservers will not forward the routes further, being intransparent to the NO_EXPORT setting. My assumption was transparency, so the prefixes would be forwarded unchanged, including the NO_EXPORT community attached. It would be nice to hear directly from Equinix, of course, but if anybody on this list has hard knowledge of this, please share, so that I can take the appropriate measures... Thanks in advance, Elmar.

Hotmail/Outlook/Microsoft Email Switches to IPv6, Causing Email Failures
by Peter Beckman 28 Oct '22

28 Oct '22

At Oct 24 21:06:13 UTC, after years of being IPv4-only, Microsoft Hotmail published two IPv6 records for the hotmail.com MX record. Great! Progress! Hurrah! Except that one hour later, Oct 24 22:00:57 UTC, our IPv6 address was blocked, after just 9 emails sent, as "spam." Prior to this date, as far back as our logs go, we have had ZERO issue with the almost 700,000 emails sent and accepted by Hotmail users since May 29, 2022. So I visited the trusty Smart Network Data Service and Junk Mail Reporting Program to try to troubleshoot. Except that these two services are still IPv4-only, so I cannot even attempt to try to self-troubleshoot why Microsoft is blocking email via IPv6. I have opened a support ticket, but I figured I would see if anyone here has seend or heard or had this issue, or if any Microsoft lurkers might see this and investigate. Support request number: SR1543766049 I have not been able to find any mention in Google or elsewhere of the planned switch to enable IPv6 for Hotmail, nor any updated way to register with Microsoft with IPv6 address space. Yes, we sign with DKIM and have up-to-date SPF records with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Google seems to have no issue here. Thanks All Beckman --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Beckman Internet Guy beckman(a)angryox.com https://www.angryox.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

any dangers of filtering every /24 on full internet table to preserve FIB space ?
by Edvinas Kairys 27 Oct '22

27 Oct '22

Hello, We're considering to buy some Cisco boxes - NCS-55A1-24H. That box has 24x100G, but only 2.2mln route (FIB) memory entries. In a near future it will be not enough - so we're thinking to deny all /24s to save the memory. What do you think about that approach - I know it could provide some misbehavior. But theoretically every filtered /24 could be routed via smaller prefix /23 /22 /21 or etc. But of course it could be a situation when denied /24 will not be covered by any smaller prefix. What do you think about this approach ? Also maybe you know - some advices for edge routers that have at least 8x100G interfaces and "good" memory for prefix count ? Thanks

Next-gen firewalls and URL / domain reputation and classification
by Devern Adams 26 Oct '22

26 Oct '22

Greetings and good day. What products/services are folks using on their networks for domain reputation or classification-based filtering? There are various vendors (Fortinet, Palo Alto, Talos/Cisco, McAfee, etc) who maintain their own databases for this purpose, and I'm working to make sure a recently acquired domain name is classified and evaluated correctly. I have been seeing reports from end users on a handful of different ISP networks being blocked or redirected to something like safebrowse.io due to this sort of reputation-based filter. Re-classifications have been submitted to a lot of the major vendors in this space, but I don't maintain an exhaustive list, and individual ISPs seem to have varying degrees of success responding to these requests. Any input on the subject, or anecdotes from anyone with operational experience is much appreciated. Thanks, Devern -- Devern Adams devernadams(a)gmail.com

Detecting, mitigating, and preventing distributed large-scale prefix de-aggregation attacks
by Lars Prehn 20 Oct '22

20 Oct '22

Dear NANOG, Our apologies to those who received this message via multiple channels. My colleagues and I recently revisited the topic of prefix de-aggregation attacks. We believe that the current IPv6 allocation policies combined with the ever-growing number of interconnection opportunities may facilitate those attacks to the point where they may circumvent traditional prevention mechanisms. Hence, we'd like to raise awareness on how to detect, mitigate, and prevent these kinds of attacks. # Prefix De-aggregation Attacks While allocation policies in IPv4 are very tight, even a new LIR can obtain, e.g., a /29 IPv6 address block from RIPE without justification [1]. This /29 may source more than a million unique IPv6 prefixes when using all CIDR sizes between /29 and /48 (the largest CIDR size that is not filtered). To prevent this many prefixes from flooding the DFZ, many ASes set a maximum prefix limit on their eBGP sessions. When initially introduced, these max-prefix limits prevented prefix de-aggregation attacks. In today's hyper-connected world, prefix limits transform these attacks into session-hunting challenges. To better illustrate this relationship, consider the following example: If an adversary combines two remote-peering offerings of BSO's IXReach [2] and Epsilon's Infinity Platform [3], they can establish ports at more than a hundred peering LANs. If this adversary uses Hurricane Electric as their IPv6 transit provider and establish a BGP session at every in-common peering LAN [4], this will lead to 100+ sessions. With a per-session limit of e.g. 500 prefixes, the adversary could redistribute 50K unique prefixes via this setup alone. If an adversary further increases the number of remote peering providers, adds announcements from BGP-enabled VPS services (e.g., Vultr [5] among many others [6]), and contracts additional IPv6 transit providers, they may globally increase the current IPv6 routing table size manifold. Notably, each of these new routes would have a valid ROV status once the adversary adds a single ROA entry for a /29 with a max CIDR size of /48; hence, they would pass the redistribution requirements for various transit providers. While many current router models support multiple million IPv6 routes, especially older models may crash, drop sessions, or behave in other unintended ways when either their FIB or RIB runs out of memory. When the adversary also withdraws all routes simultaneously, the number of updates generated from BGP's path-hunting may further lead to very high load for extended periods of time. To put this into perspective: Some of you might have noticed increased CPU load alongside other effects when Vultr was de-aggregating 12k IPv6 prefixes on October 5th [7]. Using the different methods described above, an highly-motivated adversary might be able to produce 1-2 orders of magnitude more updates. Please note that we performed various smaller (<600 prefixes) de-aggregation tests as part of our research---see sections 6 and 8 in the document referenced at the end of this notification for detailed explanations. While our experimental setup was very similar to the October 5th incident (we also announced address space obtained from SecureBit via VMs within Vultr), we are in no way related to that incident neither did we share any information about our research or findings with individuals outside our research group prior to the start of our private disclosure phase on October 11th. # Detection, Mitigation, and Prevention Mechanisms. Luckily, prefix de-aggregation attacks are easily detectable (e.g., based on prefix-limit notification thresholds or direct routing table size monitoring) and can be mitigated quickly by filtering either the more specifics of the covering prefix or all prefixes announced by the adversary's ASN(s). Effectively, damage can only be done within the human reaction time---which we hope to shorten with this notification. To protect yourself from prefix de-aggregation attacks, you may establish dynamic yet tight per-session limits on all eBGP sessions. As an adversary could enter unreasonably large values into databases such as PeeringDB, we'd recommend to not solely rely on them but also accept at most 1.5-2x the number of yesterday's prefixes for peers and customers and 1.2x yesterday's routing table size for transit providers (which would currently reflect a headroom of ~32k prefixes with a yearly growth rate of <50k prefixes [8]). We'd also recommend ensuring that the summed prefix limits across all sessions do not drastically exceed the router's maximal FIB size. To protect others, you may: (i) ensure that you only redistribute a certain number of routes per origin; currently, AS 9808 announces the most (~4K) IPv6 prefixes. (ii) ensure that you only redistribute a certain number of more-specific routes for each assigned address block; currently, 2409:8000::/20 is the prefix with the most (~10K) more-specifics.
