CGNAT Solutions
by John Alcock 30 Apr '20

30 Apr '20

Afternoon, I run a small ISP in Tennessee. COVID has forced a lot of people to work from home. I am starting to run low on IP's and need to consider CGNAT. I do have IPV6 space, but we all know that until we force everyone to move to IPV6, we need to keep IPV4 up and running. I could buy more space, but I am really wondering if that is the best option. It is expensive. I know CGNAT devices are expensive as well, but it looks like I could stretch it out a bit. My thinking is to convert about 50% of my subscribers to CGNAT. I am interested in vendors or devices you have used in the past. I already know about the pitfalls many of my subscribers will have with CGNAT such as VPN's, Gamers, etc. What are your thoughts on CGNAT vendors? A10Networks F5Networks Others?

A piece of client software is installed on every phone that presents an IPv4 address to the phone and then translates packets to IPv6 for relay over the network. This works because T-Mobile has considerable control over the phone. https://www.internetsociety.org/resources/deploy360/2014/case-study-t-mobil… Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin bill(a)herrin.us https://bill.herrin.us/

Any at all? Can you name one? I can’t. That’s basically pilot error. Root enabled? No. Otherwise, yes. At $DAYJOB we have a SFTP server that is exposed to the internet so that we can exchange data files with various partners. Sure, in theory you could move that to an HTTPS server, but then you'd have to agree on some API and everyone on both ends would have to write and maintain server/client implementations of those APIs. -- Jeff Ollie The majestik møøse is one of the mäni interesting furry animals in Sweden.

Init7 wins peering case against Swisscom
by Fredy Künzler 29 Apr '20

29 Apr '20

==> Our press release in German: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1WSAmAQRBsdllyMMq7_FIeuE_-630ETL2 Translated with www.DeepL.com Init7 wins peering case against Swisscom Federal Administrative Court overturns ComCom decision On 22 April 2020, the Federal Administrative Court (BVGER) handed down a landmark decision in the IP interconnection ("peering") proceedings of Init7 against Swisscom, which have been ongoing since 2013, which confirms the validity of the complainant Init7. Init7 demanded that Swisscom continue a peering agreement concluded in 2011 on a zero-settlement basis (i.e. each partner bears its own costs). Swisscom had terminated this contract in 2012 and, undermining the "polluter pays" principle and the telecommunications law obligation to grant cost-oriented prices, demanded massively excessive compensation for peering from Init7. Init7 defended itself against this. In its judgement, based on several expert opinions of the Competition Commission (WEKO), the BVGER came to the conclusion that Swisscom was dominant - quote: "The respondent has a technical monopoly for access to its end customers". The court thus overturned the decision of the ComCom lower instance and ruled in favour of Init7 . ComCom must now set the cost-oriented price for peering. As with voice interconnection, this price for peering will be zero or close to zero. This means that Swisscom's additional demand of CHF 550,000 to Init7 is off the table. Init7 will also save the procedural costs of CHF 126,400 still imposed on it by the previous instance. The Federal Administrative Court's remarks are primarily relevant to an illegal cartel which Swisscom operated together with Deutsche Telekom (DTAG) until January 2016. It was ended thanks to the proceedings of Init7 under pressure from the WEKO after a preliminary investigation. The cartel enabled Swisscom to participate financially in the IP transit capacity sold by DTAG (revenue share). However, the ruling has a more far-reaching effect: In future, it will no longer be possible for providers with a strong market position and many broadband customers to artificially increase the price of IP interconnection through competitive agreements and to make it more difficult for smaller providers to access their customer base. The ruling is therefore significant in the fight for an open and discriminatory free Internet and should have an impact beyond Switzerland. This too, because it shows the telecom regulators once again that their laissez-faire attitude is out of place vis-à-vis providers with market power in the area of peering.

Applications of MPLS in the metro area
by Etienne-Victor Depasquale 28 Apr '20

28 Apr '20

Hello ! I'm looking for what a network operator would consider a realistic reference deployment of MPLS within the metro area network. By "realistic reference", I'm asking about what a network operator would consider to be a typical, perhaps most common, application of MPLS technology. >From a bookish perspective, I understand MPLS well but have never implemented it in the scope of my current field of study (metro area networks). I would dearly like to get this "grounded" perspective from anyone who might care to share it. Cheers, Etienne -- Ing.

Computers be computing with or without security. Many turn off JS. Especially in this crowd. The only time I wanted to use the site anyway was to find a thread as I can't seem to find them well in search engines. For example, what was the thread about SOHO firewalls and pfsense not too long ago? I can't remember what everyone was saying about a pfsense replacement as pfsense is no longer what it was. I am having to greenfield my home network and want to find a nerdable "dual WAN' firewall. That's off topic, though, as it's just a home network question. scott
