Conflicts and fiber cuts
by Hank Nussbacher 07 Mar '22

07 Mar '22

As the discussion rages on NANOG, RIPE, CENTR and many other uber-technical forums, I would like to see whether we can focus on what we know best - networking. Perhaps a weekly report of fiber cuts throughout Europe (starting from Feb 15) and the RFO that the carrier provided. Of especial interest would be undersea/underocean cuts or strange outages that the carrier cannot explain. Perhaps we can then map where some nation/state is sabotaging fiber or tapping into such fiber. Anyone willing to run with this? -Hank

Transmission of tornado warnings delayed by major NWS tech issue
by Sean Donelan 07 Mar '22

07 Mar '22

Weather Service tornado warnings were delayed during deadly Iowa outbreak https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2022/03/06/nws-tornado-warning-disse… [...] Susan Buchanan, the Weather Service’s director of public affairs, wrote that “a technical issue caused a delay of between 2-7 minutes for some transmissions,” noting that “system engineers quickly took action as soon as the problem was detected.” She emphasized that warning lead times averaged approximately 20 minutes during the outbreak. “The National Weather Service is investigating this issued to determine the root cause and prevent it from happening in the future,” she wrote. [...] Weather radio was inaccessible in west-central Iowa as the transmitter tower in Denison, Iowa, suffered a “communications failure” Friday that knocked it “off the air.” There was no word of the transmitter being back online by Sunday. [...] Amazon Alexa and Microsoft Widgets now include severe weather alerts. Google Search and Maps also include severe weather alerts. Other streaming services do not have severe weather alerts.

Washington–Moscow Direct Communications Link
by Sean Donelan 06 Mar '22

06 Mar '22

Since 2008, the Washington-Moscow Direct Communications Link (also known as "The Washington-Moscow Hotline") uses redundant circuits of two satellite links and a fiber-optic cable. They use commercial facilities for at least part of the circuits. Past accidents have interrupted previous hotline circuits. A Danish bulldozer operator once cut the line near Copenhagen. A Finnish farmer once plowed it up. A fire in a Baltimore Maryland manhole took it out of service temporarily. Yep, even the hotline experienced cable cuts.

In most reasonable scenarios I'd say that this qualifies as too many. --------------------------------------------- Yeah, technically, but it was not 256 or something where I'd expect an issue to happen. Just curious as to why only that ASN caused the buffer overflow messages as I got them from no other AS ever and wondered if anyone else has seen them. Other ASNs almost certainly have sent 250+ prepends to me before, but they did not cause the overflow. Like I said, I have a ticket open because I am curious: BGP-WARNING-tBgp4RouteInvalid-2007 <stuff> Route invalid reason - Cannot add/prepend AS-path. Buffer overflow\nNRLI - <prefix> where prefixes are several and different lengths. Probably nothing, but I always look into stuff I see in the syslog server's router.log. scott
