BGP Books
by Lyndon Nerenberg (VE7TFX/VE6BBM) 29 Apr '23

29 Apr '23

It has been a couple of decades since I've done any BGP in anger, but it looks like I will be jumping into the deep end again, soon, and I desperately need to get up to speed again. There seem to be a lot of good guides out there from Cisco, Juniper, and the like, but naturally they are very product oriented. What I'm looking for is more like the Stevens networking bibles (i.e. "BGP Illustrated Vol I and II"). Something that covers more than just the raw protocols, and includes things like RPKI. (The world sure has changed since the last time I was doing this!) Any/all suggestions welcome. Thanks! --lyndon

Facebook IP Geolocation
by Peter Potvin 28 Apr '23

28 Apr '23

Hey all, Recently a customer reached out to us regarding an IP of ours in Canada that Facebook is somehow placing within China, despite our geolocation in other databases showing up correctly as they're ingesting our geofeeds as we had requested. Does anyone know which geolocation databases Facebook uses, and if possible a contact at Meta we can reach out to so that this can be investigated further? Thanks in advance! Regards, Peter Potvin | Executive Director ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Accuris Technologies Ltd.*

Dormant space on blacklists, how can I resolve this?
by Matthew Crocker 27 Apr '23

27 Apr '23

Hello, I run Crocker Communications (AS7849) and have ARIN allocations of 161.77.0.0/16 & 66.59.48.0/20. The 66.58.48.0/20 space was used for our datacenter which shutdown a couple years ago. The space has mostly been dormant for the past couple years. I’m now starting to assign 66.59.[55-60].0/24 to a new group of residential FTTH customers. The customers are getting access denied messages from Akamai based websites. What can I do to get Akamai to unblock the 66.59.48.0/20 space. Is there a website I can look to research the reputation of the subnets? They haven’t been used in years so I would expect them to be pretty clean. Thanks -Matt

NWS service assessment on 2021 Hurricane Ida
by Sean Donelan 27 Apr '23

27 Apr '23

Just published, buried in the after-action report on 2021 Hurricane Ida Commodity internet access is now part of life-safety. National Weather Service Service Assessment August-September 2021 Hurricane Ida April 2023 https://www.weather.gov/media/publications/assessments/Hurricane_Ida_Servic… [...] The Assessment Team found commodity internet access as important to the completion of the NWS mission as the AWIPS Wide Area Network (WAN) is to disseminating life-saving warnings. The lack of reliable, consistent internet access, to include sufficient bandwidth, would have led to mission failure during Ida if not for extraordinary measures taken by staff at WFO New Orleans/Baton Rouge and the LMRFC. WFO New Orleans/Baton Rouge and the LMRFC sent people to telework from a forecaster’s home, where they had reliable commodity internet, to provide IDSS. [...]

Standard DC rack rail distance, front to back question
by Chuck Church 27 Apr '23

27 Apr '23

Hey all. Question about standard 4 post racks. We bought some that are adjustable. Unfortunately, the posts are very flimsy, as these are some fancy cabinets with spacing on the sides for vertical patch panels, etc. We found that 2 post mounting of most Cisco devices (namely Cat 9500 1RU switches) are sagging quite bad. We're used to the new server type rails that extend to support most reasonable distances front rails to back for 4 post mounting. However, for a Cisco ASA1001, there aren't rails, but rather front and back 'ears' you use to hit both front and back posts. These would appear to not have any adjustability, the front to back post distance would seem to need to match the ears, I assume they don't adjust placement on the router much. Is there a 'standard' distance between front and back rails that devices usually adhere to? Googling didn't find an answer readily. These are 19" wide cabinets by the way. Thanks, Chuck

Questionnaire on building real network configuration dataset
by 徐惠三 27 Apr '23

27 Apr '23

Dear NANOG community members, We are post graduate students majoring in computer network and we are now conducting a research project aimed at setting up an open dataset of real network configurations for experiment needs. We think it will be a contributing work for network verification evaluations. As part of this effort, we are reaching out to the community to request your help in filling out a short questionnaire. Your participation in this survey would be greatly appreciated and valuable for our research. It will take only about 2-3 minutes of your time and your responses will be kept strictly confidential. To participate in the survey, please click on the following link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1XPBxVH40UcQRMZf-H-ENj4AUZQDEw8xxQtllyylCl4… Please note that the survey will be open for one month, and we kindly ask you to complete it by the end of May. Thank you in advance for your participation and support of our research. Best regards, Huisan

BKA Wiesbaden - Abteilung Cybercrime (Not sure if this is a phishing E-mail or real...)
by Glen A. Pearce 26 Apr '23

26 Apr '23

Hi All: I received an E-mail with an attachment claiming something on my network is infected and that I should look at the attachment to find out what. Normally I think everything with an attachment is phishing to get me to run malware but: #1: The sites linked to in it seem to be legit German government websites based on Wikipedia entries that haven't changed in several years. (Looked at archive.org) #2: The attachment is a .txt file which I've normally assumed to be safe. #3: None of the usual dead giveaways that most phishing E-mails have. If it is a phishing E-mail it has got to be the cleverest one I've ever seen, though someone would try to be cleaver considering the target would be holders of IP blocks. I right clicked and checked properties to make sure the attached ip_addresses.txt file really is a text file and not some fancy trickery with reverse direction characters ( As seen on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieQUy8YTbFU ) I tried poking around to see if there was some vulnerability in notepad (or some versions of it) that I didn't know about and only found a vulnerability in the text editor on Macs but nothing with Windows Notepad. The other thing I felt was a bit off is that the originating mail server is in Deutsche Telekom AG space and not IP Space registered to the German government. I'm thinking someone could rent some IP space from Deutsche Telekom AG with a connection to them in a data center and get the DNS delegated to them so they could set the reverse DNS to whatever they want. A lot of effort to try to look legit by coming out of Germany and having a government domain in the reverse DNS to look like a plausible legit outsourcing but again Network operators are the target audience so the normal tricks that work on the general public won't work with this group so I can see someone going that far. I'll attach the E-mail below with all headers. Has anyone else gotten these? Is there some security risk opening it in Windows Notepad that I don't know about or is it actually safe to open this?
