Fastly's Montreal POP offline
by Eric Dugas 08 Oct '20

08 Oct '20

My PNI with them in Montreal is barely passing any traffic since yesterday just before 18:00. Fastly is also on QIX in Montreal, and both LAGs shows no traffic since yesterday, same time my PNI's traffic dropped. I've tried to reach peering@ and noc@ today but no replies so far and it's been hours. If anyone from Fastly can reach me off-list or on-list. Eric

telia selling carrier ops to polhem infra
by aaron1＠gvtc.com 07 Oct '20

07 Oct '20

I wonder how this will affect those who have Telia as an upstream Internet provider? Will it be business as usual and just different company name? Or maybe other changes to come? Telia Company today (10-06-2020) announces that it has reached an agreement with Polhem Infra for the sale of its international carrier business, Telia Carrier... https://www.teliacompany.com/en/news/press-releases/2020/10/telia-company-re aches-agreement-to-sell-its-carrier-operation-to-polhem-infra-and-proposes-t o-reinstate-the-original-dividend-for-2019/ Aaron aaron1(a)gvtc.com

Neustar Geo Location Data
by John Von Essen 06 Oct '20

06 Oct '20

Anyone here have experience with Neustar’s Geo Location database feed? And by experience, I mean, how reliable it is to reality? I ask because I’m in the early stages of a project, and my initial take is the data is terrible. I’ve stumbled across several (like a few hundred, and thats just in the US) /22’s and /23’s that SWIP in Arin to small regional ISPs in the US, but in the Neustar geo data these /22s get broken out in many continuous /28’s and /27’s that appear to hop across the world. One case was a small rural WISP in St Louis, their /22 in Neustar’s data is spread across Brazil, Asia, Europe, I mean its all over the place. But in BGP, that /22 appears safe and sound coming from St Louis and also confirmed via traceroute. If it were just a few ranges, I’d say no big deal, but I’m seeing massive issues with the data - curious as to other people’s thoughts. Thanks John

IPv4 Mismanagement
by Matt Hoppes 06 Oct '20

06 Oct '20

I'm sitting here in the office on a Friday performing some IP maintenance and I see that one of our upstreams is still filtering an IP range we haven't used in years. I dig into it a bit more and it turns out a major carrier still has them SWIPed to us. This got me curious and I dug more into IPs from back in our early days and discovered there are two Tier-1 carriers we no longer do business with that still have large blocks of their own IPs SWIPED and allocated to us. This is really confusing and concerning. I know it's not the end-all-be-all, but I wonder how much IPv4 exhaustion is being caused by this type of IPv4 mis-management, where IPs are still shown as "allocated" to a customer who hasn't used them in years. I've seen this behavior from Frontier and CenturyLink to name just a few. Any thoughts on this?

Pennsylvania’s voter services data center outage - 24+ hours
by Sean Donelan 05 Oct '20

05 Oct '20

State and local government services are always underfunded. Election depend on heroic election administrators and a lot of duct tape. Its not yet election day, but don't be surprised by all sorts of normal problems and outages on November 3 and after when systems will be under maximum stress. Its not nefarious, just duct tape. There are backup processes, but are less effecient and slower. Pennsylvania's data center supporting several state government services, including elections, has been out of service for over 24 hours. The data center has a uptime reliability of about 94% (and dropping). “While the exact cause is not yet known, there’s no evidence present at this time to suggest any malicious activity,” she said Wednesday. “We will continue, of course, to keep investigating.” https://www.inquirer.com/politics/election/pennsylvania-voter-services-webs…

BGP Community - AS0 is de-facto "no-export-to" marker - Any ASN reserved to "export-only-to"?'
by Douglas Fischer 05 Oct '20

05 Oct '20

Most of us have already used some BGP community policy to no-export some routes to some where. On the majority of IXPs, and most of the Transit Providers, the very common community tell to route-servers and routers "Please do no-export these routes to that ASN" is: -> 0:<TargetASN> So we could say that this is a de-facto standard. But the Policy equivalent to "Please, export these routes only to that ASN" is very varied on all the IXPs or Transit Providers. With that said, now comes some questions: 1 - Beyond being a de-facto standard, there is any RFC, Public Policy, or something like that, that would define 0:<TargetASN> as "no-export-to" standard? 2 - What about reserving some 16-bits ASN to use <ExpOnlyTo>:<TargetASN> as "export-only-to" standard? 2.1 - Is important to be 16 bits, because with (RT) extended communities, any ASN on the planet could be the target of that policy. 2.2 - Would be interesting some mnemonic number like 1000 / 10000 or so. -- Douglas Fernando Fischer Engº de Controle e Automação
