Aptum refuses to SWIP
by Lyndon Nerenberg (VE7TFX/VE6BBM) 10 May '23

10 May '23

It seems Aptum has decided they will no longer SWIP any of their address space. I've been trying to get a SWIP for a /48 that we were allocated in 2017, but they refuse. And I also see they have pro-actively gone in and un-SWIPed both our /24s. Since you are ignoring my tickets about this, maybe somebody from Aptum would care to speak up in public and defend this "policy?" --lyndon

webex.com DNS Contact - Possibly Broken DNSSEC?
by Reuben Farrelly 09 May '23

09 May '23

Does anyone know of a contact of someone (presumably at Webex/Cisco) who can take a look at the DNS for webex.com? It has been for some time now, logging a lot of DNSSEC warnings on my resolver: dnssec: validating external-media75.public.wnrtm-a-2.prod.infra.webex.com/NSEC: no valid signature found: 1 Time(s) dnssec: validating external-media75.public.wsinm-a-3.prod.infra.webex.com/NSEC: no valid signature found: 1 Time(s) dnssec: validating external-media78.public.wbomm-a-2.prod.infra.webex.com/NSEC: no valid signature found: 1 Time(s) dnssec: validating external-media8.public.wnrtm-a-2.prod.infra.webex.com/NSEC: no valid signature found: 1 Time(s) (and a whole lot more hostnames in the same domain). Some basic DNSSec analysis indicates something in the middle of the trust chain is broken: https://dnssec-analyzer.verisignlabs.com/external-media26.public.wjfkm-a-3.… It looks to me like the subdomains have DS records but the other parts of the subdomain don't and I guess there's no point in having DS records on host records, if the parent domain doesn't have them too. I wouldn't bother if it was one or two entries, but it looks like the whole domain is affected and this probably is a fairly widely utilised domain. Thanks, Reuben

Cisco Nexus 3k Route Selection\Packet Forwarding Debugging
by Mike Hammett 06 May '23

06 May '23

We have a Nexus 3064 that is setup with partial BGP tables and is routing based on that. I've done a show ip bgp for an IP of interest and it has an expected next hop IP. I show ip arp on that next hop IP and it has the expected interface. However, sFlows show the packets leaving on a different interface, the one that would carry the default route for routes not otherwise known. If the next hop IP is expected and the ARP of that next hop IP is expected, why are packets leaving out an unexpected interface? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest-IX http://www.midwest-ix.com

You can get 100G optics for less than half those prices. For reference, here are publicly listed prices for optics from an European vendor I have in production: 100G 4WDM & CLR4 QSFP28 * 10 km * 225€ 100GBASE-LR4 & OTU4 & 128GFC QSFP28 * 20km *305€ 100GBASE-ER4 Lite & OTU4 & 128GFC QSFP28 * 40 km * 1030€ 100GBASE-ZR4 QSFP28 * 80 km * 1650€ 100GBASE-ZR4+ QSFP28 * 100 km * 2100€ These prices are for single units without discounts. - Jared

> Yeah, you sound like an equipment vendor whose main customers are incumbent telco's in a few rich markets :-). You are right. My message was pretty much geared toward incumbents. But the majority of the access/aggregation is in their possessions, isn’t it? They typically have ducts that were huge for copper that is already extracted. One more fiber cable would be easy. Agree that for competitive carriers DWDM would be more often needed. Even for competitive carriers, it makes sense to evaluate the cost to put fiber into the duct of incumbents. Especially because in some countries the price would be regulated. It would solve the problem forever – no need for the DWDM speed upgrade. I am calling to just not forget to evaluate this option too. Reminder: dark fiber is the best technical solution, for sure.

Indeed, maybe the situation (in many countries) when the Carrier sells a lot of TDM services. But in general, packet services are enough these days for many carriers/regions. There aren't enough TDM services to warrant DWDM, nowadays. The reason for DWDM is mainly being driven by Ethernet, and IP. At any reasonable scale, it's actually pretty hard to buy a TDM service, in most markets. Additionally, I am sure that in many countries/Metro it is cheaper to lay down a new fiber than to provision DWDM, even if it is a pizza box. I disagree. Existing fibre may be cheap because it was laid down a decade or more ago, en masse, by several operators. So the market would be experiencing a glut, not because it is cheap to open up the roads and plant more fibre, but because there is so much of it to begin with. At worst, there is still enough duct space that the operator can blow more fibre. But when that duct gets full, and there are no more free ducts available, or another route needs to get built for whatever reason, it is a rather costly affair to open up the roads and trunk some fibre, in any market. So no, DWDM is not more expensive, if you are delivering services at scale. It is actually cheaper. It is only more expensive if you are small scale, because in some markets, the fibre glut means you can buy dark fibre for cheaper than you can light it with DWDM. But this is a situation unique to small operators, not large ones. The colored interface is still very expensive. This only matters for the line side. For client-facing, it's not a drama. And you typically buy more optics for the client side than you do the line side. Of course, there are some Cities (not “towns”) where it is very expensive or maybe even impossible to lay down a new fiber. Yes, in the majority of cases, it is cheaper to lay down fiber. I think what you mean to say is that in the majority of cases where there is fibre glut, and dark fibre is a market option, buying fibre is cheaper than lighting it with DWDM. This is true. But I think that on a global scale, this is the exception, not the rule. In general, you are not likely to be able to buy dark fibre, cheaply or otherwise, if you look at all markets in the world. Hence, the importance of DWDM for the Metro is overestimated. Again, only if you are small scale. If you are a large scale operator with as many IP/Ethernet customers as you have Transport, DWDM is essential. Use only routers. Provision enough fiber. Have always 1 router hop to the aggregation (hub-spoke topology), no routers chaining in the ring. If fiber is not enough – then use normal DWDM with an external transponder. Routers would be still in hub-spoke topology. Yeah, you sound like an equipment vendor whose main customers are incumbent telco's in a few rich markets :-). The life of the average operator, around the world, is far less glamorous. Mark.

Hi Mark, Thanks a lot for many of your valuable comments I almost always agree. 1. I agree that 50GE has not got the same popularity as 100GE. Many vendors did ignore it for some time. Looks like not many ignore it now. 2. Even in your example for 40km, 100GE is about twice more expensive than 50GE. 3. Hence, I have to google for the cheaper proposition in 10km. For obvious reasons, I could not reference my employer (my assumption about the cost is based on this comparison). https://opticswave.com/collections/50g-qsfp28 https://www.compufox.com/50G_QSFP28_Transceivers_s/3036.htm https://www.genuinemodules.com/033030600050 Looks like I have found twice cheaper in public information. 4. Pay attention that bidirectional is available too. 5. The public price is not what you get in the real tender. We are talking about big networks, hence, big tenders.

Money is very important these days for this industry. 100GE single mode is more expensive than the best router port itself. Routers have been deprecated 10x for the decade (almost 100x for 2 decades). Pluggable optics is not that much deprecated. Not sure where your pricing is coming from, but if I look at Flexoptix's 50Gbps QSFP28 optics pricing, I am getting: * EUR724 @ 10km. * EUR1,246 @ 40km. They are also selling an SFP56 LR for EUR925. Juxtapose that against 100Gbps pricing: * EUR473 @ 10km. * EUR1,300 @ 25km. * EUR1,500 @ 30km. * EUR2,600 @ 40km. * EUR3,925 @ 80km. Doesn't immediately seem to me that 50Gbps is cheaper than 100Gbps. There also don't seem to be as many deployments of 50Gbps in the metro (same could be said for 25Gbps and 40Gbps), but others on the list can chime in with what they are seeing/doing. I do not think that content provider guys call their DCI “Metro”, not very often. Well, whatever they call it, the concept is the same - move lots of traffic across town between data centres. I agree that 100GE for DCI is the minimum, 400GE is probably already needed in some places. IMHO: it is a different story. Very interested too. Most content providers have no choice but to run DWDM, for even very short spans between data centres. That is because it is just cheaper and simpler to pack Tbps of capacity in DWDM for the price than you can in a router. And besides, most routers don't need to carry Tbps of traffic in a single line card, which would be a waste of a fibre pair over that distance. In such cases, better to use DWDM and drop capacity on individual routers and/or line cards as you see fit. PS: By the way, even if some ISP has 50% of revenue from Enterprise services (it is probably the biggest number, typically 30%-40%), it is still just 5% compare to residential traffic. Traffic to enterprises is still sold 4x-10x (depending on the country). That is why residential Access networks tend to be 2nd class citizens :-). Hence, Enterprise does not make sense to mention in the traffic discussion. It is a “rounding error”. Enterprise business created a huge demand for oversubscribed ports to connect Enterprises. And QoS/QoE. Not traffic. Well, not all operators that offer enterprise services also do consumer broadband, or vice versa. To a network doing only one or the other, whatever traffic they are carrying means the world to them. It's not ours to decide what is high or low traffic... that priviledge always remains with the network operator. Mark.

Reliable neutral global networks for connectivity testing
by Dmitriy A. 05 May '23

05 May '23

Hey all, I have a niche problem and wanted to get some feedback and ideas. I am trying to find some global networks that accept ICMP requests that I can use to ping and based on the packet loss try to understand if the client is having connectivity issues or uses an unreliable internet connection. The exact testing logic is here https://github.com/jsdelivr/globalping-probe/blob/master/src/lib/status-man… It basically requires 2/3 endpoints to have 0 packet loss when sending 6 packets to each. Some requirements: - Must be a global anycasted network since the client devices can be anywhere - Must be neutral. Meaning no government or ISP having a reason to block it. This eliminates Google, Microsoft, Akamai, Cloudflare... (blocked in China and elsewhere) - Must be reliable to avoid false-positives as much as possible. - Must be public and open. The network must be ok with random devices sending packets to them - Must be safe and controlled by a trusted entity I am currently trying to use DNS root servers https://root-servers.org/ but turns out many of them are unreliable for this use-case, I have noticed bad routing resulting in high latency and lots of packet loss at random. Same goes for pool.ntp.org where some Chinese users hit Amsterdam for some reason. This results in high packet loss marking the test as false-positive. Popular public DNS resolvers are also controlled by companies that are mostly likely to be banned in certain countries. Am I missing any other networks that fit the requirements? Any ideas on how to go about this would be appreciated, Thanks
