It might take 2 hands if it hasn't been opened recently and has lots of pebbles and dirt jammed in around it. It's like everything else: if you know how to do it, and you have the right tool, it's simple. And, yes, you can get lockable manhole covers. They aren't cheap. McGuard make a popular one. (Yes, yes...why would I possibly know any of this.....I'm a fire marshal in a small town as a part time gig, so I have to deal with this kind of thing on a reasonably regular basis) Daryl

Forward Erasure Correction (FEC) and network performance
by Marshall Eubanks 10 Apr '09

10 Apr '09

Hello; I work with FEC in various ways, mostly to protect video streams against packet loss, including as co-chair of the IETF FECFRAME WG and in the Video Services Forum. Most FEC is driven by congestion in the edge, RF issues on wireless LANs, etc., but there is always the chance of loss in transit over the wider network. In many important cases, in fact, (e.g., transfer of video from a content creator to an IPTV service provider or Enterprise to Enterprise video conferencing) the loss at the edges can be controlled, leaving only network transit to worry about. This question has thus come up from time to time, and I was hoping that the assembled NANOG might be able to either answer it or provide pointers to the literature : What level of packet loss would trigger response from network operators ? How bad does a sustained packet loss need to be before it is viewed as a problem to be fixed ? Conversely, what is a typical packet loss fraction during periods of good network performance ? If there is some consensus around this, it would effectively set an upper bound for the need for FEC in network transit. I would be glad to accept replies in confidence off list if people don't want their networks to be identified. (To be clear, I am aware that many ISPs offer some sort of MPLS service with a packet loss SLA for video carriage. I am really asking about Internet transport here, although I would be pleased to learn of MPLS statistics if anyone wants to provide them.) Regards Marshall Eubanks

The reward is effective and the one of the best uses of their funds in responding to this event. More outside plant spending is not effective when you are dealing with motivated individuals. I'd like to reemphasize that you can't spend enough on outside or inside plant to stop this type of thing. It is much more cost effective to stalk the executors with rewards and prosecution as a detterent.

We're showing spikes in latency out in LAX on Cogent, as well as a few other interesting anomalies that are consistent with shifts in traffic in a number of different locations.

Do we still need Gi Firewall for 3G/UMTS/HSPA network ?
by Lee, Steven (NSG Malaysia) 10 Apr '09

10 Apr '09

Hi all, in most of the existing 2G/2.5G mobile PS-core (Packet Switch) networks have Gi segment (interface between GGSN & IP Router/firewall). Due to the IP address constraint, operator usually do NAT on the Gi firewall to NAT the private IP to public IP in the past. Looking at the traffic pattern and user access behaviour, does it make sense to have firewall between the GGSN & Public Internet if the public IP addresses are sufficient to cater for mobile subscribers? Especially with 3G/UMTS/HSPA or even LTE in the future. Please share your thought and thanks in advance :) Regards, Steven Lee

Vandalism Likely In Big South Bay Phone Outage [Was: Re: Outside plant protection, fiber cuts, interwebz down oh noes!]
by Paul Ferguson 10 Apr '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 More on this: [snip] SAN JOSE (CBS 5 / KCBS / AP / BCN) -- Vandals severed multiple fiber optic cables on Thursday, leaving thousands of people in Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and San Benito counties without cell phone, Internet and landline service, police said. Crews were making repairs, but estimated that it would likely be sometime Thursday night before all service was restored. The outage which began about 2 a.m. affected both landlines and cellular phones for various AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile customers. San Jose Police Sgt. Ronnie Lopez, when asked whether the severed fiber optic cables were the work of vandals, said, "that's a pretty good premise." No arrests had yet been made, but police joined repair crews at the scene of the first four severed cables -- located ten feet down a manhole on Monterey Highway, north of Blossom Hill Road in San Jose. Authorities also found two other locations where fiber optic cables were similarly cut -- near Hayes Avenue and Cottle Road in San Jose, and in the 1700 block of Old County Road in San Carlos. Officials said the incidents were related and the police indicated all three locations were being treated as crime scenes. The FBI said while the sabotage acts were criminal, there was no evidence of terrorrism.
