Fwd: RADb will migrate to IRRdv4 on October 30, 2023
by Job Snijders 28 Sep '23

28 Sep '23

Dear all, Please see the below announcement, I think this is really good news! RPKI-based filtering at large databases and mirror services like RADB really helps take the sting out of potentially harmful RPKI-invalid IRR route objects. This will positively impact operators who use bgpq3, irrpt, or irrtoolset/peval to generate filters, because those tools use whois.radb.net by default. Kind regards, Job ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Merit RADb <radb(a)merit.edu> Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2023 at 21:00 Subject: RADb will migrate to IRRdv4 on October 30, 2023 To: <job(a)fastly.com> RADB will switch to IRRdv4 on October 30 [image: RADb blue logo-tagline] <https://d2tTpN04.na1.hubspotlinks.com/Ctc/2N+113/d2tTpN04/VVpYl230vYh0W6PgX…> Dear RADb Community, As originally announced in March 2023, RADb is transitioning to IRRd (Internet Routing Registry daemon) version 4. On October 30th, 2023, we will migrate RADb over from IRRdv3, which you are currently using, to IRRDv4. Below are links to demo servers that will allow you to interact with the new service prior to the migration. As you start planning for the transition, here are some key things to note: - We will import the current database into IRRDv4 on October 30th. - We will work to maintain the current serial numbers for NRTM. If we are unable to you will need to update your mirror before NRTM can continue. - We will enable RPKI. - The rpki-ov-state RPSL field notes the RPKI status (valid, invalid, or not-found) - whois will hide RPKI invalid objects unless you use !fno-rpki-filters - IRRDv4 is more strict, but we are starting with most of this strictness disabled initially. - IRRDv4 may output RPSL objects differently. - The RADb API is the same, but may return different error messages, or similar error messages with different wording. For example, it will now report RPKI errors. - Existing mntner objects will be imported even with invalid admin-c/tech-c handler. Any updates will require at least one person or role object associated with it. We will be updating our registration process to create these objects for you. - New mntner objects must also have at least one person or role object associated with it. We will initially handle this for you the the customer portal, but you should check the created person or role for correctness. - New mntner objects will use bcrypt for passwords. This will happen automatically for you through the customer portal The following demo environments are available for your testing (please use your existing credentials): - whois2.radb.net <#m_-1278871392211290094_m_-2351897707799796429_> - IRRdv4 with current RADb objects and live mirroring of other RIRs - whois2demo.radb.net <#m_-1278871392211290094_m_-2351897707799796429_> - IRRdv4 with sample data (v4 version of whoisdemo.radb.net <#m_-1278871392211290094_m_-2351897707799796429_>) - wwwdemo.radb.net <https://d2tTpN04.na1.hubspotlinks.com/Ctc/2N+113/d2tTpN04/VVpYl230vYh0W6PgX…> - demo web portal backed by whois2.radb.net <https://d2tTpN04.na1.hubspotlinks.com/Ctc/2N+113/d2tTpN04/VVpYl230vYh0W6PgX…> - apidemo2.radb.net <https://d2tTpN04.na1.hubspotlinks.com/Ctc/2N+113/d2tTpN04/VVpYl230vYh0W6PgX…> - demo API (available October 1st) This move to IRRDv4 will bring many benefits to you, including: - Improved RADb data quality - Prevention of RPKI-invalid objects from being created in RADb - Prevention of object creation for invalid prefixes (such as RFC 1918 space) - as-set and route-set object creation will be limited to the account that maintains the aut-num object extending and protecting the ASN of the resource holder from misrepresentation (requires use of hierarchical naming conventions) - Improved extensibility and maintainability We thank you for subscribing to Merit’s RADb service - the contributions of this community make the internet a better place to learn, work and share data. *Questions? *Please contact us at support(a)radb.net *We also welcome your feedback - please take our brief customer satisfaction survey: **https://radb.net/survey* <https://d2tTpN04.na1.hubspotlinks.com/Ctc/2N+113/d2tTpN04/VVpYl230vYh0W6PgX…> Our sincerest thanks, The RADb Team [image: merit_network1] [image: Facebook] <https://d2tTpN04.na1.hubspotlinks.com/Ctc/2N+113/d2tTpN04/VVpYl230vYh0W6PgX…> [image: Twitter] <https://d2tTpN04.na1.hubspotlinks.com/Ctc/2N+113/d2tTpN04/VVpYl230vYh0W6PgX…> [image: LinkedIn] <https://d2tTpN04.na1.hubspotlinks.com/Ctc/2N+113/d2tTpN04/VVpYl230vYh0W6PgX…> [image: YouTube] <https://d2tTpN04.na1.hubspotlinks.com/Ctc/2N+113/d2tTpN04/VVpYl230vYh0W6PgX…>

Test Lab Best Practices
by Kenneth Vedder 28 Sep '23

28 Sep '23

Hello NANOG, We have been struggling with firmware bugs from a specific router vendor. I am looking to set up a test lab of our core network and a few remote site routers. Protocols would include SR-MPLS, ISIS, EVPN MPLS and L3VPN with a little OSPF sprinkled in. I'd be grateful for any tips or resources anyone has that might cover testing strategies and/or best practices. Thanks, Ken

SMTP-friendly VPS provider where I can also get a BGP feed
by Daniel Corbe 27 Sep '23

27 Sep '23

Hey all, I apologize if this isn't the right place to post this; however, I thought maybe the NANOG community would be able to point me in the right direction. I'm looking for a place that I can host a mailer. My primary use case is a Mailman-style technical discussion list; much like NANOG but software related instead of network related: READ: non-commercial in nature. I'm currently a vultr customer, but they're refusing to unblock port 25 on my account. I've tried explaining my use case but no matter who I talk to over there they just keep pointing me to their spam policy. Thanks! -Daniel

Comcast contact sought
by Al Whaley 25 Sep '23

25 Sep '23

I am looking for a senior contact at Comcast. I have been trying to assist someone with a business connection that runs a server farm. Recently the business cable modem started to short-stop port 53 for UDP and TCP. Apparently, a transparent DNS proxy somehow got activated and all outbound traffic to any IPv4 or IPv6 address is intercepted and handled by the modem – or not handled. Sadly, the proxy is stupid and a) ignores the intended destination address, and b) drops things it doesn’t know about, including any AXFR / IXFR and other more esoteric traffic, normal for DNS server installations, but not used by the public. The DNS servers are not able to do work, e.g. act as secondaries. I know others in the same configuration with servers that have been lucky and not had this ‘feature’ activated, but I have found several references on forums where people have been caught by this and unsuccessful in reaching anyone in management, so it is a known problem. Comcast doesn’t allow customer supplied DOCSIS modems with multiple fixed IPs. Other avenues exhausted as well. I’m hoping someone at Comcast can disable this. Attempts to go through customer service… well we all know where that ends up. Escalations just don’t go to anyone technical or interested. regards Al Whaley Sunnyside Computing, Inc.
