"Fluffy owns USENET", as everybody knows, and her big mean brother owns the Internet. I could tell you his name, but then I'd have to kill you. Whether you like it or not, the government of a country where a server is located, and/or where the service operator is located, *CAN* dictate terms to that server or service operator. There are _no_ 'uniform' international rules, or guarantees of aceess. Be thankful you're not in China, where attempts to access 'forbidden' sites can bring the secret police knocking. Or some of the Middle East Countries, where *everything* going out-of- country goes through government-owned/-operated censorship boxes. The answer to your question -- "as asked" -- is "everybody, and NOBODY". Any government entity can enact laws concerning what people _within_ _their_jurisdiction_ can do over the Internet, just as they can regulate any other aspcet of 'life'. OTOH, there's no international authority you have to go to, to get a 'license' to get on the Internet and use it. except to whatever extent it is controlled by local government, you can set up services, buy connectivity from whomever you want, and -do- whatever you want, regardless of whether or not such activities make you a 'good net neighbor' or a 'bad' one. As for your particular 'problem', some countries have intternational reputations for being 'bad neighbors'. Things like financing known terrorist organizations, providing various facilities and training capabilities, etc. Countries that do things like this -- or more properly _allow_ things like this to go on within their jurisdiction, run the risk of being cast as 'beyond the pale' by those countries that frown on such things. In which case, any resources that _might_ help those 'bad guys' with ther malevolent efforts are denied to _anyone_ from that country. If you don't like being in that classification, take it up with *your* government. Good Luck.

And why not the ICCAN take this reponsibity as an International organization not USA government? From: tariq198487(a)hotmail.com To: nanog(a)nanog.org Subject: Who controlls the Internet? Date: Sun, 25 Jul 2010 20:24:27 +0300 Deal all I want to show you some obstacles that some countries face them every day. For example when users from Sudan trying to access some web site they will get a *Forbidden Access Error* message. And some messages say: you are forbidden to access this web site because your IP address appears form country black listed due to USA government policy.

A PI lacking enterprise considering doing v6 this way either waits or decides the available space will do as someone will fix the managment later.

Eventually ARIN (or someone else will do it for them) may create a site you can register your address and know that it really is unique among participating registrants. Random is fine, unique is better. Such a site would be the seed for when (if) we come up with the tech for everyone to have PI and lose all the restrictions imposed so far. > > I'm just hoping that we'll at least > > see 1:1 NAT instead of NAPT being used. I think that will be a common PI alternative. If people really don't want NAT then we shouldn't provide reasons for it to exist. RFC4193 seems to be the best enterprise plan. They can link to other enterprises and change ISPs easily or multihome. They are not beholden to any ISP or numbering authority. The global table doesn't explode. > Why on earth would you do that? Why not just put the provider-assigned > addresses on the interfaces along side the ULA addresses? Using ULA > in that manner is horribly kludgy and utterly unnecessary. Enterprises tend to want only one identifier to manage per device and that it be unique and mostly permanent. With several PA and ULA on each device, links to ISPs and other enterprises, the combinations of addresses and paths to manage flows and security over become too hard (if it's not simple it's probably not secure). Every device becomes a router and firewall and the staff who manage those aren't cheap. > > This is to facilitate easy and cheap way to change provider.

North Korea conflict with US and South Korea could spark cyber war
by andrew.wallace 25 Jul '10

n3td3v Security is monitoring the situation between North Korea, US and South Korea. North Korea has already threatened to use its nuclear arms when the "wargames" begin Sunday by United States and South Korea, but n3td3v Security predicts North Korea is planning a large scale cyber attack on US interests. We could really see the first cyber war proper here when it all kicks off Sunday between US, S.Korea and the North. n3td3v Security is warning critical infrastructure utility companies to keep an eye on its cyber assets incase NK's cyber command launch any attack.

Router/switch vendor recommendations? off-list replies fine
by Jack Bates 24 Jul '10

24 Jul '10

I'm trying to find versatile vendors that can handle a variety of features that meet my needs for several projects. Honestly, the projects aren't that big, but I'd like certain versatility with them, and having trouble finding the right vendors. Perhaps it's just my engineering that is flawed. Suscriber management (both a redundant and non-redundant unit) - PPPoE (4/6) - DHCP (4/6) - IPv6 support for both with reasonable management plans - option 82 (DHCPv6 have an equiv option?) - backend support for DHCP (preferably both radius and DHCP) - q-in-q L3 termination w/ proxy-arp support - LAG for at least 2 Gig-E - line rate L3 speeds - support for OC3 SONET a plus - support for OC3 ATM with RBE type setup a plus - isis (4/6) multi-topology - BGP4 (4/6) NSR a plus L2 Switch (redundant) - LAG (40Gig+ ring) - Line rate - 8100 in 8100 (simple q-in-q) - ability to take untagged traffic on port and arbitrarily provide it double tags (one to send across network, and the inner to drop on a trunk to an aggregation site for customer) Basic q-in-q but customer doesn't have ability to assign vlan on their side. - standard guards for spanning tree, dhcp, IPv6 etc. - rj45 10/100, mm-fx 100, sm-fx 100/1000 CPE switch (for customer who can't terminate fiber or for extending our testing demarc) -1 to 2 rj45 100/1000 -1 to 2 sm-fx 100/1000 -inexpensive, small
