FTTH ONTs and routers
by Jean-Francois Mezei 20 May '14

20 May '14

It had been my impression that ONTs, like most other consumer modems, came with built-in router capabilities (along with ATA for voice). The assertion that ONTs have built-in routing capabilities has been challenged. Can anyone confirm whether ONTs generally have routing (aka: home router that does the PPPoE or DHCP and then NAT for home) capabilities? Are there examples where a telco has deployed ONTs with the router built-in and enabled ? Or would almost all FTTH deployments be made with any routing disabled and the ONT acting as a pure ethernet bridge ? (I appreciate your help on this as I am time constrained to do research).

IANA IPv4 Recovered Address Space registry updated
by Leo Vegoda 20 May '14

20 May '14

Hi, ICANN has updated the IANA IPv4 Recovered Address Space registry after LACNIC notified it that it has less than a total of a /9 in its inventory of IPv4 address space. This triggered the activation the Recovered IPv4 pool, which was created in the Global Policy for Post Exhaustion IPv4 Allocation Mechanisms by the IANA. The address space selection is made using software that tries to allocate blocks based on the RIR managing the DNS for that /8. The software, along with a worked example, is published at: https://github.com/icann/ The list of allocations can be found at: https://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-recovered-address-space/ipv4-recovered -address-space.xhtml#ipv4-recovered-address-space-2 Kind regards, Leo Vegoda

LACNIC becomes the first RIR to go below /9 of available IP space
by Rubens Kuhl 20 May '14

http://www.lacnic.net/en/web/lacnic/inicio Website is still showing phase 0 of address depletion, but the updated quantity means that the /9 trigger has been reached. Rubens

First ISP-hosted "transparent" test-IPv6.com mirror
by Jason Fesler 20 May '14

20 May '14

TL:DR? “Thanks, Comcast!” and “Who’s Next?” The test-ipv6.com site started out 4 years ago, at a table in Seattle, after an IPv6 round table meeting hosted by Internet Society. John Brzozowski and myself were each trying to come up with a way to help end users figure out that their IPv6 internet was good or bad. Ultimately I kept plugging away at it, as John was distracted with some kind of broadband IPv6 rollout for his employer (Comcast). And the test-ipv6.com site went live about a month later, with solicitation to a few operations lists for feedback. All in all, pretty successful. I’ve had two concerns since deploying test-ipv6.com: one, how to scale; and two, how to ensure the user’s connectivity back to the service is awesome (or at least, not bad). John was thinking the same thing - worried about sending too many of his customers to my site, and crushing it in the process. Not good for either of us. Both of those are relatively easy to solve. Simply deploy tons of mirrors around the world, problem solved - if you have the cash and/or smart business plan to back it. I don’t monetize the site with advertising; nor do I charge fees. Nor do I have a crack CFO who can help me IPO, and make me rich in the process. I don’t really have the time or energy to solicit for corporate handouts. As it turns out, it appears that I’m bad when it comes to making money on this project. So any solution has to be cheap. Asking folks to run regional mirrors (such as “test-ipv6.cz” or “test-ipv6.co.za”) is great; it offers a community local resources that are more immune to global connectivity issues. However, people must explicitly decide to visit these mirrors; to chose the location they want to test from. Those regional mirrors are mostly light duty as a result. They are still invaluable - they provide the back end that the global connectivity test uses, for any IPv6-validated customer visiting any of the mirrors. With this global test, we effectively crowd source getting IPv6 peering problems fixed. John and I decided to take things a step further; something I’m happy to see finally make it across the finish line after a fair bit of upfront dev work. Comcast is now running two mirrors and preparing a third - which directly act as “test-ipv6.com”. Nothing changes for the user. John has to worry less about transient (and transit!) connectivity back to test-ipv6.com. This is done with a poor-man’s GSLB (Global Server Load Balancer). We’re using an in-house built DNS server that looks at the internet routing table to see what ISP the DNS queries come from. Based on the source BGP ASN, we can decide which ISP mirror gets the traffic. (PS: thanks to routeviews.org and everyone who feeds data to it; that stuff is great!) In the end: we both get to worry less about Comcast traffic volume to test-ipv6.com; as well as ensure a good user experience for the customers visiting. What’s next? That’s where you come in :-). If you’re ... * working at a large ISP * doing real IPv6 deployment * or considering using “helpdesk.test-ipv6.com” with customers I’d love to help you set up a transparent mirror (acting as “test-ipv6.com”). For you, it means controlling the user experience using this site; as well as removing any capacity concerns. For me, it means the same thing. Win, win. More info at http://github.com/falling-sky/source/wiki/TransparentMirrors (http://tinyurl.com/m7nnhfn) If you want to help, or have questions, don’t hesitate to ask. -jason (link for sharing, if you're inclined: http://test-ipv6.com/comcast.html)

FYI: Spamhaus joe-job spam targeting ARIN & RIPE contacts database
by Steve Linford 19 May '14

19 May '14

FYI only: There's a joe-job spam going round targeting what looks like a dump of ARIN and RIPE contact records so quite a few of you probably got it (we got a lot of copies ourselves). It is being sent probably by a Slavic spammer (judging by the grammar) and points to another Spamhaus joe-job posted last week to defamation site Ripoff Report by same Slavic spammer(s). The copies we got all come from MailChimp IPs and the From line is "Steve Linford <SteveLinfordsh(a)gmail.com>" (apparently spammer thinks I use Gmail ;-) Regards, Steve Linford Chief Executive The Spamhaus Project http://www.spamhaus.org

Observations of an Internet Middleman (Level3) http://blog.level3.com/global-connectivity/observations-internet-middleman/ See also... Level 3 accuses five unnamed US ISPs of abusing their market power in peering http://gigaom.com/2014/05/05/level-3-accuses-five-unnamed-us-isps-of-abusin… "... I’d love to see Cogent, Google and other providers release their data next, so even if the FCC doesn’t want to pursue this, a growing cry of consumer outrage could push the agency to do something about a very real and difficult problem that’s crippling access to video content on 5 U.S. broadband networks. Level 3 didn’t name names, but based on the deals Netflix has signed and the complaints it has made about AT&T, I’m confident that AT&T, Verizon and Comcast are among the five. " =JeffH

Access hardware for small FTTP deployment
by Chris 19 May '14

19 May '14

Hi all, We are looking at doing a small FTTP deployment in a community of about 30 homes and I'm searching for options regarding access layer hardware. Initially we thought of a simple point-to-point ethernet setup with 1000Base-BX to each premises and a 48-port access switch. However, finding an appropriate piece of hardware has proven challenging because of our requirement of a 60+ degrees Celcius operating temperature (due to outdoor cabinet placement). The only one I found that meets the temperature requirement was Cisco's ME 2600X with 44 SFP ports, 4 SFP+ and 65degC max, but it's a bit pricey for our liking. Other offerings from HP (5800-24G-SFP), Juniper (EX4550), Brocade (CES-2048F) were nice, but all only had 40-45degC max operating temp. I'm interested to see what other people are doing for these types of small setups. Does anyone know of any other reasonably priced access switches, 32+ SFP ports, and able to withstand 60degC or higher operating temperature? We are also considering GPON, but given that we would only need one interface for such a small deployment, most of the hardware out there seems like overkill. Are there good small OLTs? Cheers, Chris
