Equinix Chicago Power Outage
by Malayter, Christopher 25 Jun '05

25 Jun '05

Does anyone have any information as to what is going on at Equinix Chicago, other than a power vault a few blocks away catching fire. ERC has no information, we've had both AC and DC systems fail there. Any information is appreciated.

I am able to reach it as of right this moment, but I did see a few transactions time out earlier this afternoon, not sure if a networking issue or if auth.net was just simply down? Any one else have issues? -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog(a)merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu] On Behalf Of Matt Bazan Sent: Friday, June 24, 2005 4:16 PM To: nanog(a)merit.edu Subject: [OT] authorize.net down for any of you? we're not able to get to it, anyone else?

Announcing long AS-sets tomorrow
by Lorenzo Colitti 24 Jun '05

24 Jun '05

Hi, as part of our AS-set stuffing experiments (announced, including links to in-depth information, in [1]), we will be announcing unusually large AS-sets tomorrow, Thursday 16 June. The prefixes involved will be 84.205.73.0/24 and 84.205.89.0/24, both orignating in AS12654. The AS-sets will consist of AS12654 repeated n times, thus the paths will look like 12654 {12654, 12654, ..., 12654}. No other AS numbers will be used. The values of n we will use are 25, 50, 75 and 100. The announcements are designed to discover how far large AS-sets are propagated, and thus how effective our techniques can be, in today's Internet with today's IPv4 operational practices. This is *not* a test to see if routers will fall over: we have successfully tested longer AS-sets in the lab on both Cisco and Juniper, and longer AS-paths and AS-sets have been observed in the wild [2,3]. See [1] for more information on the safety of these announcements. The proposed schedule is as follows: 84.205.73.0/24 84.205.89.0/24 14:00 UTC: 25-element AS-set 50-element AS-set 14:30 UTC: withdrawal withdrawal 16:00 UTC: 75-element AS-set 100-element AS-set 16:30 UTC: withdrawal withdrawal If anyone should see a problem during the announcements, please contact me and I will take immediate action.

Heads up: DNS survey traffic from 199.45.255.0/24
by Duane Wessels 24 Jun '05

24 Jun '05

Hi NANOG, Beginning monday of next week (2005-06-27) my company (The Measurement Factory) plans to begin a survey of DNS authoritative nameservers. You may see queries, including VERSION.BIND and zone transfer attempts, coming from 199.45.255.0/24. For more information please see http://dns.measurement-factory.com/surveys/200506.html Note: We submitted an ARIN template yesterday for this netblock with appropriate comments and contacts. However, we have not yet received an "approved" reply yet. Duane W.

[OT] GBLX to the courtesy phone
by Joe Abley 24 Jun '05

24 Jun '05

[Apologies in advance for the noise, to the vast majority of people here who are not GBLX ops people. The GBLX NOC is working a ticket for me through the usual channels, but prioritisation through the front line as a non-customer is understandably difficult.] I've spent a few days trying to fix a route propagation problem that is affecting reachability of a ccTLD slave server to many people in the cc in question, and that work would be enormously accelerated if a 3549 neteng type with a few spare minutes could drop me a line.

AS-set results, new experiments 30/06/2005
by Lorenzo Colitti 24 Jun '05

24 Jun '05

Hi, we have posted preliminary results of our long AS-set announcements to our web site: http://www.dia.uniroma3.it/~compunet/bgp-probing/diffusion.html While we are still working on an in-depth analysis, the results indicate that while the presence or absence of an AS-set in an announcement does have an effect on its propagation, the length of the AS-set, if present, does not have a significant effect. We would also like to move forward with further announcements to determine the effectiveness of our topology discovery algorithms in the IPv4 network. The algorithms, described in our posting a few weeks ago [1] and on the project's web page [2], make use of announcements involving the AS numbers of other ASes to allow ISPs to discover how their announcements can be propagated and how the policies of other ASes in the Internet affect their prefixes. The extensive tests we have performed on the global IPv6 Internet show that our algorithms are effective, but we would like to see how effective they are on the IPv4 Internet given the different operational practices in use. Therefore, starting on Thursday 30 June at 14:00 UTC the prefixes 84.205.73.0/24 and 84.205.89.0/24 will be announced with AS-paths of the form 12654 {...} where the AS-set contains the numbers of neighboring ASes. The announcements will not last more than a few days; as before, should anyone see any problems, please contact me and I will take immediate action. Finally, our tests show that our announcements cause no technical problems; however, if anyone would prefer their AS number not to appear in the AS-sets, and feels that filtering our prefixes is not sufficient, please contact me and we will not use them. Regards, Lorenzo [1] http://www.merit.edu/mail.archives/nanog/msg08501.html [2] http://www.dia.uniroma3.it/~compunet/bgp-probing/ -- lorenzo(a)ripe.net colitti(a)dia.uniroma3.it www.ripe.net www.dia.uniroma3.it/~compunet RIPE NCC Roma Tre Computer Networks research group
