2 Byte ASNs??
by Justin Wilson (Lists) 05 Aug '22

Whats the availability of two byte asns look like? Anyone able to obtain one recently? I have a network that is all Mikrotik and the route targets are messing with them. They can’t use communities with their 4 bytes asn. It’s one of those it really isn’t a big deal but I thought I would ask.

Cogent help needed
by Chuck Church 05 Aug '22

Can anyone from Cogent hit me up off-list? Having an issue in South America getting packets to our site in Brazil. Traceroute shows route though a Cogent router, then RFC1918 replies. So not sure if problem is Cogent or a peer of theirs. Two hosts in the 177.10.168.124/30 are acting differently. Thanks, Chuck

NANOG List posts and DMARC

Can someone flip the option in Mailman for DMARC please, it’s problematic as if one posts and does DMARC and has feedback on, our messages are possibly rejected, and the feedback from a post is quite large. Not sure who manages it anymore these days. - Jared

Allegedly Tier 1s in Wikipedia
by Rubens Kuhl 02 Aug '22

Hi. Looking at the article on Tier 1 networks, I found one that I know for a fact that pays for some transit (12956) and some I usually don't associate to Tier 1 status, like 6762. Is there a list of such transit relationships by those bragging about being Tier 1 ? Rubens

FEC AO 2022-14

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/07/29/republican-fundraising-g… -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: AO 2022-14 Date: Sun, 31 Jul 2022 12:03:20 -0400 From: William Allen Simpson <william.allen.simpson(a)gmail.com> To: ao(a)fec.gov https://www.fec.gov/data/legal/advisory-opinions/2022-14/ * Opposing the proposal as written. * Permitting unsolicited electronic bulk mail advertisements from political actors is an involuntary contribution from Gmail users. Google's statement that the Gmail service is "free" for its users is inaccurate. As Google admits against interest, Gmail users are subjected to advertisements and also may subscribe to the service. Moreover, data transmission and storage costs are significant. Political electronic bulk mail is distinguishable from physical bulk mail. Electronic mail is receiver pays (via advertisements or subscription). Physical mail is sender pays (via stamps or permits). Therefore, this is not without cost to the recipient. Google reports an immense profit. It is undesirable and unseemly to pay (via advertisements or subscription) and then receive more bulk advertisements. Support a requirement that all political and other bulk senders be "opt-in". Support that that for every bulk message: The requestor must meet reputational thresholds and ensure that their messages are secure, filterable, and follow best practices for the user experience, including for example: (i) “one-click” unsubscribe, which enables a user to efficiently opt out of future communications; (ii) approving and following unsubscribe requests within 24 hours, which respects the user’s choice; and (iii) ensuring that all links in the message can be scanned by Google for phishing and malware detection, which helps to protect the user from harmful content. At our residence, the US mailbox is positioned near the recycling bin. Bulk mail generally goes directly into recycling without being viewed. Sadly, receiver has to pay for recycling (via taxes). Likewise, we expect unsolicited electronic bulk mail to go directly to recycling (the spam folder is automatically deleted, recycling storage). This is a helpful reduction in user data transmission and storage costs. --- I have been a Gmail user for many years. I am also a Google Fi customer. Don't be evil.
