skype shoots self in foot
by Randy Bush 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

skype seems to have made the latest 6.x incompatible with 2.8 (which folk who care about screen real estate run) in that video no longer works between them. until widespread availability of webrtc, a bunch of us are using jitsi for video, https://jitsi.org/ o uses open standard protocols o free, open source, apple pie, ... o supports opus codec which has really good performance across a wide range of bandwidth http://www.opus-codec.org/comparison/ o multi-participant video on xmpp-based videobridge, also open source o does xmpp, sip, aim, icq, yahoo, ... i have an ejabberd+videobridge up if folk want test/use accounts. and it's easy to put up your own, of course. and while you are looking at escaping other big company servers, check out http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html, real peer to peer dropbox. randy

lag testbed needed
by Randy Bush 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

a small gaggle of researchers are looking at some measurements over a setup like this .----------. .----------. | source |------- RTR ============== RTR ------| target | | host | LAG Bundle | host | `----------' >= 30ms `----------' where we run code on the source host pinging and paris tracrouting to the target and collecting the data. we have the results from a friendly isp. we would like to be feel more comfortable that our results are not unique to that isp's network and/or router configurations. so we would very much apprecuiate some LAG user who can run the code for us on their network. it takes approx ten hours and presents a very light load to the hosts. thanks randy

Alleged BTOP/NTIA Fraud - $25M lawsuit filed over BTOP/NTIA funds in Florida
by Himilean Media 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

Wondering if this lawsuit has or will potentially affect any other NANOG operators? My understanding is that anyone that was counting (planning) on this infrastructure in rural Florida for middle-mile or long-haul transport should now seek alternative options? -HM/DAK On Thu, Apr 25, 2013 at 9:52 PM, FierceTelecom wrote: > > Rapid Systems Seeks $25 Million From FRBA With Lawsuit Filing > > Tampa, Florida based Rapid Systems, Inc. announced April 19 it filed a $25 > Million suit against the Florida Rural Broadband Alliance (FRBA) along with > several co-defendants. > > Rapid Systems is a wireless broadband Internet service provider that > entered an agreement with FRBA and others to provide broadband network > support for a project developed with Broadband Opportunities Grants awarded > in Florida as part of a government economic stimulus program.

Comcast NOC - issues to/from AS13331 (Seattle)
by Michael Loftis 24 Apr '13

24 Apr '13

Comcast doesn't appear to have any usable NOC contacts via whois, and this issue is apparently very widespread. Comcast obviously has multiple saturated paths out in this area, so if you're seeing issues getting to your customers on Comcast...well, it's probably Comcast. Sort of an ongoing/me too on last months thread about same... Outbound traffic to Comcast via basically any of our (AS13331) upstreams except Spectrum (AS11404) is experiencing very high packet loss once inside Comcast's network, we suspect a router or link very near to us in Seattle is failing. I've marked out the destination customer IPs but they're available to Comcast engineers if they get in touch with me directly or as noc(a)metapeer.com -- TIA -- and again, sorry to the list. Below are three failing/high loss traces, and then same three traces from our other DC which is routing out via spectrum. The loss is present on Cogent and L3 outgoing paths at the least, maybe others. As of now I've routed around the problem point for via the good path. fission:~# mtr -s 900 --report --report-cycles 30 1.2.3.4 fission.myfreecams.com Snt: 30 Loss% Last Avg Best Wrst StDev ve75-gw1-xmr.metapeer.com 0.0% 0.4 1.4 0.3 11.8 2.9 te0-7-0-15.ccr21.sea02.atlas.cogentco.com 0.0% 0.9 0.6 0.5 0.9 0.1 te-0-5-0-3-pe03.seattle.wa.ibone.comcast.net 6.7% 43.7 42.3 38.8 43.7 1.4 be-13-cr01.seattle.wa.ibone.comcast.net 3.3% 47.7 44.6 41.3 47.7 1.8 pos-0-7-0-0-cr01.denver.co.ibone.comcast.net 3.3% 69.4 68.7 65.0 71.3 1.5 he-5-15-0-0-cr01.350ecermak.il.ibone.comcast 6.7% 92.6 97.3 91.4 102.0 3.8 he-3-15-0-0-ar01.woburn.ma.boston.comcast.ne 10.0% 120.3 119.8 116.3 122.0 1.8 pos-0-1-0-0-ar01.needham.ma.boston.comcast.n 0.0% 122.0 120.5 117.1 123.9 1.8 po-80-ur01.deering.nh.boston.comcast.net 0.0% 121.4 121.3 118.3 133.8 2.8 po-21-ur01.concord.nh.boston.comcast.net 6.7% 119.6 130.1 119.3 272.8 31.8 te-1-0-0-ten01.concord.nh.boston.comcast.net 6.7% 118.7 120.0 117.6 121.4 1.3 ??? 100.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root fission:~# mtr -s 900 --report --report-cycles 30 5.6.7.8 fission.myfreecams.com Snt: 30 Loss% Last Avg Best Wrst StDev ve75-gw1-xmr.metapeer.com 0.0% 0.3 0.6 0.3 5.2 0.9 te0-7-0-15.ccr21.sea02.atlas.cogentco.com 0.0% 0.8 0.6 0.5 0.8 0.1 te-0-5-0-3-pe03.seattle.wa.ibone.comcast.net 0.0% 41.4 42.6 38.5 43.8 1.3 be-13-cr01.seattle.wa.ibone.comcast.net 0.0% 45.6 44.1 40.4 46.7 1.8 pos-0-8-0-0-cr01.denver.co.ibone.comcast.net 6.7% 71.2 69.0 65.0 72.1 1.9 he-5-12-0-0-cr01.350ecermak.il.ibone.comcast 3.3% 98.1 96.3 86.4 101.2 3.9 he-0-15-0-0-ar01.pontiac.mi.michigan.comcast 10.0% 93.5 97.3 93.5 100.6 2.3 xe-11-0-0-0-sur01.rochestrhlls.mi.michigan.c 0.0% 97.2 99.1 92.9 141.8 10.4 te-17-10-cdn05.rochestrhlls.mi.michigan.comc 3.3% 118.9 113.2 104.6 118.9 3.5 ??? 100.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 fission:~# mtr -s 900 --report --report-cycles 30 a.b.c.d fission.myfreecams.com Snt: 30 Loss% Last Avg Best Wrst StDev ve75-gw1-xmr.metapeer.com 0.0% 0.3 2.1 0.3 47.1 8.6 te0-7-0-15.ccr21.sea02.atlas.cogentco.com 0.0% 0.7 0.6 0.5 0.8 0.1 te-0-5-0-3-pe03.seattle.wa.ibone.comcast.net 6.7% 40.6 42.4 39.7 45.2 1.3 be-15-cr01.seattle.wa.ibone.comcast.net 0.0% 47.3 48.2 41.3 54.8 4.3 68.86.92.34 3.3% 43.7 45.5 39.5 101.7 11.6 be-18-ur06.bellevue.wa.seattle.comcast.net 0.0% 43.8 43.0 40.2 44.3 1.4 te-3-0-0-ten15.bellevue.wa.seattle.comcast.n 6.7% 42.7 44.1 42.1 45.7 1.1 ??? 100.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 mloftis@phobos:~$ mtr -s 900 --report --report-wide --report-cycles 30 1.2.3.4 HOST: phobos Loss% Snt Last Avg Best Wrst StDev 1. 207.229.74.1 0.0% 30 0.4 5.1 0.3 132.4 24.1 2. agg1-sea-t7-8.bb.spectrumnet.us 0.0% 30 1.5 14.0 1.5 206.4 39.8 3. 23.30.206.33 0.0% 30 1.8 2.0 1.7 3.5 0.3 4. be-17-cr01.seattle.wa.ibone.comcast.net 0.0% 30 12.6 5.3 2.1 12.6 2.7 5. pos-0-4-0-0-cr01.denver.co.ibone.comcast.net 0.0% 30 28.5 29.2 27.2 31.4 1.3 6. he-5-12-0-0-cr01.350ecermak.il.ibone.comcast.net 0.0% 30 49.9 52.2 49.9 56.7 2.8 7. he-3-5-0-0-ar01.woburn.ma.boston.comcast.net 0.0% 30 78.5 79.5 78.3 81.0 1.0 8. pos-1-12-0-0-ar01.needham.ma.boston.comcast.net 0.0% 30 80.2 80.1 78.2 81.7 1.1 9. po-80-ur01.deering.nh.boston.comcast.net 0.0% 30 80.0 80.1 79.9 80.4 0.1 10. po-21-ur01.concord.nh.boston.comcast.net 0.0% 30 80.7 85.1 80.7 199.3 21.6 11. te-1-0-0-ten01.concord.nh.boston.comcast.net 0.0% 30 80.5 80.5 80.5 80.7 0.0 12. ??? 100.0 30 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 mloftis@phobos:~$ mtr -s 900 --report --report-wide --report-cycles 30 5.6.7.8 HOST: phobos Loss% Snt Last Avg Best Wrst StDev 1. 207.229.74.1 0.0% 30 0.3 3.6 0.3 96.3 17.5 2. agg1-sea-t7-8.bb.spectrumnet.us 0.0% 30 10.2 10.4 1.5 58.5 15.1 3. 23.30.206.33 0.0% 30 2.4 2.0 1.8 2.4 0.1 4. be-14-cr01.seattle.wa.ibone.comcast.net 0.0% 30 3.6 4.4 1.7 10.6 2.4 5. pos-0-3-0-0-cr01.denver.co.ibone.comcast.net 0.0% 30 31.1 29.5 27.2 31.6 1.3 6. he-5-12-0-0-cr01.350ecermak.il.ibone.comcast.net 0.0% 30 52.3 55.4 50.3 61.5 3.6 7. he-0-14-0-0-ar01.pontiac.mi.michigan.comcast.net 0.0% 30 58.9 58.0 56.1 60.1 1.2 8. xe-11-0-0-0-sur01.rochestrhlls.mi.michigan.comcast.net 0.0% 30 71.2 58.9 56.6 83.6 6.4 9. te-17-10-cdn05.rochestrhlls.mi.michigan.comcast.net 0.0% 30 71.2 72.6 67.6 78.0 3.2 10. ??? 100.0 30 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 mloftis@phobos:~$ mtr -s 900 --report --report-wide --report-cycles 30 a.b.c.d HOST: phobos Loss% Snt Last Avg Best Wrst StDev 1. 207.229.74.1 0.0% 30 0.7 5.1 0.3 143.4 26.1 2. agg1-sea-t7-8.bb.spectrumnet.us 0.0% 30 1.5 3.1 1.5 30.1 5.6 3. 23.30.206.33 0.0% 30 1.9 2.0 1.9 2.2 0.1 4. be-12-cr01.seattle.wa.ibone.comcast.net 0.0% 30 6.9 5.1 1.7 12.3 3.1 5. 68.86.94.70 0.0% 30 1.8 2.4 1.8 17.3 2.8 6. be-18-ur06.bellevue.wa.seattle.comcast.net 0.0% 30 3.5 3.4 3.3 3.5 0.1 7. te-3-0-0-ten15.bellevue.wa.seattle.comcast.net 0.0% 30 3.3 3.2 3.2 3.4 0.0 8. ??? 100.0 30 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 mloftis@phobos:~$ -- "Genius might be described as a supreme capacity for getting its possessors into trouble of all kinds." -- Samuel Butler
