Network Provider Recommendation in Edmonton AB
by Lyndon Nerenberg (VE6BBM/VE7TFX) 18 Jan '10

18 Jan '10

I have a client in Edmonton who's looking for a network drop to their office, something in the 2-10 MB/s range. The location is at 46 Ave. and 99 St. The core requirement is for a bare unfiltered *symmetric* pipe (no ADSL). Traffic volume will be low: 2-4 laptop VPNs plus some light web server and email traffic. 2 Mb/s as a lower bound should be fine, with a /28 IPv4 address block (either bridged or routed). I've been away from Edmonton long enough now that I no longer know who's active there, so any and all feedback is welcome. (Vendors, too, provided you include some real content.) Please respect the Reply-To header. Cheers, --lyndon

Are IPv6-only Internet services viable today?
by Cameron Byrne 17 Jan '10

17 Jan '10

Folks, My question to the community is: assuming a network based IPv6 to IP4 translator is in place (like NAT64 / DNS64), are IPv6-only Internet services viable as a product today? In particular, would it be appropriate for a 3G /smartphone or wireless broadband focused on at casual (web and email) Internet users? Keep in mind, these users have NAT44 today. There has been a lot of discussion about CGN / LSN / and other technologies around the corner. In the mobile network operator space, the lack of IPv4 addresses, both public and RFC 1918, has been very real for a long time. In North America, mobile network operators have numbered subscribers with BOGON space (obvious risk) and relaunched multiple instances of RFC1918 space multiple times within their AS (breaking end-to-end even within their own AS, which is a problem with technologies increasingly moving towards any-to-any SIP and IMS). In any event, we can clearly state the addressing issue has compromised both engineering and business decisions in today's major mobile networks. Both scenarios above require tremendous NAT44 infrastructure. And, future CGN technologies don't give me much comfort that things will get better for the operator or the consumer. So, i have been looking more at offering IPv6-only service with NAT64 translation to access the IPv4 Internet. For the network operator, the NAT44 and NAT64 aggregate network state / number of translation is the same to start, and as more native IPv6 content come on the NAT64 gracefully. In fact, given that Google is IPv6 now, and Google is content leader, moving to NAT64 would actually be a reduction in NET NAT translations. IMHO, any dual-stack solution is not an adequate interim solution since both private and public IPv4 addresses are simply not available or will be soon completely exhausted. Dual-stack will have a role in the future, just like public IPv4 addresses have a role today. Dual-stack will be a required service for users with special requirements (legacy IPv4 VPNs ....) , not average web and email users that account for greater than ~80% of a mobile operator's customer base. I also want to stress that this solution best fits new subscribers and devices, it will not be a solution for Window 98 ... or Windows XP in fact. This draft is helpful in understanding the issues as well as the IETF's work on NAT64 draft-penno-behave-64-analysis-02 Some folks in a lab decided to see what type of user experience can be expected using NAT64 and DNS64 and IPv6-only on the end system -- using commonly available hardware and software that's available today, but different from the kit used for the NANOG IPv6 hour. In this case, there is a NAT-PT box in place of NAT64, they used an open source DNS64 implementation, and a standard WIndows 7 Starter edition netbook. I think the conclusion is that casual Internet use, as a product, is possible today. It is not everything IPv4 offers today, but as IPv6 content and applications come on-line the IPv6 capabilities will exceed what IPv4 could do (no NAT for native flows). Screenshot video below, best viewed in HQ mode. This is just a data point with regard to functionality that is akin to NAT64 / DNS64 that is available today. http://www.youtube.com/theipv6guy

AT&T planned maintenance - country-wide - MPLS?!?
by Stefan 17 Jan '10

17 Jan '10

Our NOC reported at 2:00AM MPLS "blips" on some of our networks because of AT&T stating that "there is currently country-wide planned maintenance that is affecting a large number of circuits, he [AT&T person answering the request for clarification] did not clarify which ones." We have received no communication in this regard. Anybody else knowing anything about this? Thank you, ***Stefan Mititelu http://twitter.com/netfortius http://www.linkedin.com/in/netfortius

News about the .HT domain
by Stephane Bortzmeyer 16 Jan '10

16 Jan '10

I have no information about the state of the Internet links in Haiti (everything seems down) but, for the .HT top-level domain, here are a few news. .HT has six name servers, four outside of the country. They were not affected so .HT never had a problem resolving. Main DNS lesson: always put name servers in very diverse places. The master was in Port-au-Prince and is unreachable, probably for a long time. A new (stealth) master has been set up in Australia by Cocca and the slaves are now reconfigured to use it. Two already do it and therefore the zone no longer risks expiration (and can even be modified). You may find information at <http://blog.icann.org/2010/01/haiti/>. % check_soa ht There was no response from ns2.nic.ht There was no response from ns1.nic.ht dns.princeton.edu has serial number 2010011198 charles.cdec.polymtl.ca has serial number 2010011198 ht-ns.anycast.pch.net has serial number 2010011615 ns3.nic.fr has serial number 2010011615

My best generator was the Honda 2000 watt, 120V, super quiet, 15 hours/gal unit. My second best was the (PRC knock-off) Pony 1000 Watt 120V super quiet. Everything begins at the generator. Gas is useful. For batteries a series of 6V AGM. A single 6V AGM can power a VSAT (HughesNet) for several hours. With three and even a 1000 watt 120V genset a VSAT link can be kept up a large part of 24/7. They are heavy and never pre-positioned (gensets aren't either), but they are the stable, long-term uptime must have. An efficient pure-sine wave inverter completes the electrical basic of a mobile programmer's electrical infrastructure. Non-pure-sine eats voltage and phase delta sensitive gear. Learning about Electrical Cost of Link Characteristics (ECLC, a low energy pun on the PILC WG abbreviation) was the most important thing I learned going off-grid. Some of these points are made within the larger ICT donor framework, at http://www.inveneo.org/download/Inveneo_ICT-Sustainability_Primer0809.pdf , the Inveneo ICT Sustainability Primer, which is worth the read (particularly on why "donated kit" and Windoz are wicked expensive to field), see pages 2 and 3. Things overlooked in the Inveneo paper is the role of portable generators, 6V battery management, and VSAT, which are what I see as the "off-grid" critical toolkit. I had educational and medical requirements in addition to my always-connected-to-my-racks-in-Maine needs. I'm wicked pleased to see the NSRC kit in route, and as I'm in Geneva I'll start on our IRC PoC and our own donor commit. When I get back to Cornell I'll start there too, as I know there is an interest at Cornell Law in the Maison des Infants de Dieu orphanage in Port au Prince. Eric
