Beware surfers: cyberspace is filling up
by J.D. Falk 01 May '09

01 May '09

'Experts predict that consumer demand, already growing at 60 per cent a year, will start to exceed supply from as early as next year because of more people working online and the soaring popularity of bandwidth-hungry websites such as YouTube and services such as the BBC’s iPlayer. It will initially lead to computers being disrupted and going offline for several minutes at a time. From 2012, however, PCs and laptops are likely to operate at a much reduced speed, rendering the internet an “unreliable toy”.' http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/the_web/article61… (I don't even know where to start.) -- J.D.

one shot remote root for linux?
by Gadi Evron 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

This is one of them mysterious and rare cases where a non router OS vulnerability may affect network operations. Sometimes news finds us in mysterious yet obvious ways. HD Moore (respected security researcher) set a status which I noticed on my twitter: @hdmoore reading through sctp_houdini.c - one-shot remote linux kernel root - http://kernelbof.blogspot.com/ I asked him about it on IM, wondering if it is real: "looks like that but requires a sctp app to be running" Naturally, I retweeted.

RE: Important New Requirement for IPv4 Requests
by David Hubbard 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

From: Frank Bulk - iName.com [mailto:frnkblk@iname.com] > > It appears that ARIN wants to raise the IP addressing space > issue to the CxO level -- if it was interested in honesty, > ARIN would have required a notarized statement by the person > submitting the request. If ARIN really wants to get the > interest of CEOs, raise the price! > Raising the price won't help; there's already a huge amount of wasted address space by web hosts selling IP addresses to customers who need them solely for 'seo purposes' rather than allocating them in return for a reasonable technical justification. If ARIN raises the prices, it will hurt hosts who allocate their space in a responsible manner and those who don't will just charge more for the right to have one of these seo-friendly exclusive IP's that webmasters so righteously believe will make their sites #1 on google. We regularly lose business thanks to something that goes a little like this: "Can I get a block of 100 IP's for no particular reason?", no, "My old host let me, I just had to pay $100/month for it." One of Google's seo spam team members actually blogged on this topic after a nanog post I made about this a few years back, and I still send it to people asking for IP's for seo reasons and even then they don't believe me. If ARIN would enforce a technically justified use of IPv4 space that does not recognize "seo" as a valid reason, that would definitely help, otherwise web hosts will keep selling IP space to their customers at prices that let them keep buying more. And since the policy allows it currently, the CEO signing off on it will also be valid. David

Looking for Abuse Contact at AT&T
by Stasiniewicz, Adam 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

Hello, I am looking for someone to help escalate an abuse case at AT&T (if it matters, specifically the former Southwestern Bell servicing the San Francisco area). I have been emailing abuse(a)sbcglobal.net, abuse(a)swbell.net, and abuse(a)att.com since 3/35 and all I have received are automated responses with case numbers. I have also attempted to call 800-648-1626 numerous times with no success. I can provide case numbers off list. Thank you! Adam Stasiniewicz Direct: 575-233-7672

[NANOG-announce] NANOG 46 agenda announced; reduced rate registration expiring soon
by Todd Underwood 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

Howdy, An updated agenda for NANOG46 has been posted at: http://nanog.org/meetings/nanog46/agenda.php you might notice that this NANOG features: * Keynote by Paul Vixie on "Internet Superbugs and the Art of War" * A ton of useful tutorials including Dani Roisman's popular "BGP Load Balancing", and new tutorials from Richard Steenbergen, "Production v6 Network in 30 minutes or less" and Martin Hannigan "Network Capacity RFP" * The popular Peering and Security tracks * New v6 operational content and experience * Lots of other great, operational presentations So I would humbly suggest that you (collectively) register for NANOG46 ( https://nanog.merit.edu/registration/ ) as quickly as possible. Discounted registration ends in less than two weeks (on May 10) so save yourself $75 and get registered. You know you're going to go, so just go already. If you require an invitation or travel letter for visa purposes, please send mail to nanog-support(a)nanog.org. I would *strongly* suggest you reserve a hotel room if you have not already. The last several NANOGs all available discounted rooms in the room block have gone very quickly. ( http://nanog.org/meetings/nanog46/hotel.php ) Note that the program is now almost completely full (there are 2-3 slots left that are saved for conditionally accepted talks that are already in progress or any presentations dealing with late-breaking events, but the event would have to be exceptionally significant and interesting). If you didn't submit for this NANOG conference, please consider submitting a presentation for NANOG47. (http://pc.nanog.org) Lightning talk submission will open on May 14. Lightning talks are short (10 minute maximum) presentations submitted immediately prior to or during the conference. Lightning talks are particularly appropriate for material that is too short to fill a normal Plenary presentation slot or too timely to have been submitted with sufficient anticipation. Lightning talks are also an opportunity for presenters to get early feedback on a new or still-gestating idea. The first round of Lightning talks will be selected on June 9 and will be announced immediately prior to the start of the conference. Additional lightning talks will be selected during the conference. Looking forward to seeing all of you in Philadelphia, Todd Underwood, Chair NANOG Program Commitee _______________________________________________ NANOG-announce mailing list NANOG-announce(a)nanog.org http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog-announce

Study of IPv6 Deployment
by Elliott Karpilovsky 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '09

Hello everyone. My name is Elliott Karpilovsky, a student at Princeton University. In collaboration with Alex Gerber (AT&T Research), Dan Pei (AT&T Research), Jennifer Rexford (Princeton University), and Aman Shaikh (AT&T Research), we studied the extent of IPv6 deployment at both global and local levels. Our conclusions can be summarized by the following three points: 1.) IPv6 deployment is not seen as a pressing issue. 2.) We saw a lack of meaningful IPv6 traffic (mostly DNS/Domain and ICMP messages), possibly indicating that IPv6 networks are still experimental. 3.) Studying Teredo traffic suggested that it may be used for NAT busting by P2P networks. Our paper (submitted and presented at PAM 2009) can be found at http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~elliottk/ipv6study.html . If you have comments or feedback with respect to these results, please feel free to express them. Thank you.

Concerning MPLS paths
by Saqib Ilyas 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '09

Hello everyone In the context of a single service provider network running MPLS, if a number of bandwidth constrained LSPs are passing through a particular node and the sum of the bandwidth constraints for the LSPs is X Mb/s, then is X the upper bound on the traffic through that node, or is it sometimes exceeded as well? Thanks and best regards

Is everyone getting the ShimizuHarune@yahoogroups.jp ugliness?
by Jack Bates 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '09

nanog-bounces+alamiki1623=yahoo.co.jp(a)nanog.org I'm rather shocked that yahoogroups.jp allows a group to have addresses included in it that haven't confirmed opt-in. The constant loop of nanog through the group to my mailbox as trash (I don't read foreign languages, thus trash) is annoying. Anyone else having this problem? Who can kindly kill that address from the list feed until the genius piping that address's email into ShimizuHarune(a)yahoogroups.jp stops (and hopefully kindly deletes the group or removes my email address from it). Jack
