Dark fiber usage info request - know-how pointers and experience sharing
by Stefan 02 Nov '12

02 Nov '12

Looking at dark fiber leasing as an alternative for existing ISP-acquired MPLS, MetroE, P2P, etc. services. I would appreciate some pointers (links) into specific technologies used with dark fiber, as direct consumer (not ISP). I am not looking for the theory behind (C)DWDM, but rather real life implementations and experience with folks operating such. Highly appreciated would also be extra info on what the learning curve required for traditional network engineering crew to operate devices terminating into such, and maybe even work (installation and operation) needed to maintain plants with this infrastructure. TIA, ***Stefan

Network scan tool/appliance horror stories
by Pedersen, Sean 02 Nov '12

02 Nov '12

We're evaluating several tools at the moment, and one vendor wants to dynamically scan our network to pick up hosts - SNMP, port-scans, WMI, the works. I was curious if anyone had any particularly gruesome horror stories of scanning tools run amok.

Anyone else suddenly getting shaped/throttled by comcast this morning?
by Ray Wong 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

Looks to have started at almost exactly 8am Eastern, though in our case it's mostly west coast traffic(dst to comcast retail customers), so seems unlikely to be aftermath of storm damage, unless someone didn't look very closely at their traffic before noodling things. Still, coming up on 3 hours my outbound hasn't topped exactly a gbit, which seems a little convenient... -R>

IETF Nominations Committee seeks operations community input
by Matthew Lepinski 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

The IETF Nominations Committee (NomCom) is currently working to select a new Operations Area Director who will replace Ron Bonica (who is stepping down next March). Ideally, the Operations area within the IETF serves as a focal point for communication and collaboration with the network operations community. I understand that over the years the Operations area has had varying degrees of success at fostering productive discussion with the networks operations community. The IETF NomCom would greatly appreciate input from network operators to ensure that we select an Operations Area Director who best serves the needs of the community. The NomCom welcomes general feedback on issues that the NomCom should take into account in selecting an Operations Area Director, including things that the IETF Operations area could/should be doing to better interface with the network operations community. Please do not hesitate to send input/feedback by email to the NomCom at nomcom12(a)ietf.org Additionally, the specific individuals that the NomCom is currently considering for the position of Operations Area Director are: -- Linda Dunbar -- Joel Jaeggli -- Melinda Shore -- Tina Tsou The NomCom welcomes any feedback specifically related to any of these individuals, and whether they are particularly well suited for the position of Operations Area Director. The IETF NomCom takes very seriously the confidentiality of any input provided to the committee (as per RFC 3777). Thank you for any help that you can provide to the IETF NomCom, - Matt Lepinski nomcom-chair(a)ietf.org

Google burp

I guess I'll be the one to ask...what's going on over at Google? Service interruptions and front-end errors all over the place across what appears to be all services, though Gmail seems to have bounced back up. Google's service disruption is about to bring Twitter's service to its knees as people complain and try to figure out what's going on. Blair Trosper Updraft Networks & The North Texas GigaPOP

75th Broad up/down?
by Jeff Shultz 31 Oct '12

31 Oct '12

An online magazine I work with is, we believe, hosted at 75 Broad or 111 8th. It dropped out Monday night, right after they announced that the diesel pumps had fried due to flooding at 75 Broad, came back up early Tuesday morning, and then died again this morning. IP address is in 74.63.44.0/24 block (which may be part of a larger block). Pinging 74.63.44.255 gets me replies from 208.122.44.210 only. Anyone know the current status of these facilities? I've got an e-mail in to noc@internap but haven't heard back - and if they have a facility down they're probably too busy to reply to a single web hosting customer. I have seen the report from earlier this morning indicating that 111 8th had an issue that's been fixed - but the Internap NOC line (877.843.4662) still indicates that NYM008 is having a power outage. Thanks! -- Jeff Shultz

New York Crews?
by Justin Wilson 31 Oct '12

31 Oct '12

Anyone know of lists, contacts, etc. for companies looking for I.T. Folks for help with cleanup and such on the eastern seaboard? I am guessing there will be a demand for anyone from cable pullers to Engineers. I have some free time on my hands and would gladly take a cut in pay to go out and work with the cleanup. I can terminate cables, climb towers, etc. I am sure I am not the only underemployed I.T. Guy who could spend a week or two helping a data center, or other entity. Just wondering if anyone knew of any resources, groups, contacts.
