I also tried asking for an Alarm Circuit. I even explained to them what it was, but they still didn't understand. All of the people I talked to wondered why in the world I would want a pair with no dialtone. Too bad a I can't just bribe a qwest tech with a few beers to patch it through for me. :) > -----Original Message----- > From: Ejay Hire [mailto:ejay.hire@isdn.net] > Sent: Friday, August 29, 2003 11:22 AM > To: Pendergrass, Greg; Austad, Jay; nanog(a)merit.edu > Subject: RE: dry pair > > > He's looking for two wires between two buildings with no switching > equipment on them.

He's looking for two wires between two buildings with no switching equipment on them. You'll have better luck if you ask for an "Alarm Pair", but everyone's nomenclature is different. -Ejay -----Original Message----- From: Pendergrass, Greg [mailto:Greg.Pendergrass@vodafone.com] Sent: Friday, August 29, 2003 11:14 AM To: 'Austad, Jay'; nanog(a)merit.edu Subject: RE: dry pair Neither do we.

Fw: GLBX ICMP rate limiting (was RE: Tier-1 without their own backbone?)
by Gordon 29 Aug '03

29 Aug '03

Of the DDOS attacks I have had to deal with in the past year I have seen none which were icmp based. As attacks evolve and transform are we really to believe that rate limiting icmp will have some value in the attacks of tomorrow? -Gordon > > On Wed, 27 Aug 2003, jlewis(a)lewis.org wrote: > > > We have a similarly sized connection to MFN/AboveNet, which I won't > > recommend at this time due to some very questionable null routing they're > > doing (propogating routes to destinations, then bitbucketing traffic sent > > to them) which is causing complaints from some of our customers and > > forcing us to make routing adjustments as the customers notice > > MFN/AboveNet has broken our connectivity to these destinations. > > We've noticed that one of our upstreams (Global Crossing) has introduced > ICMP rate limiting 4/5 days ago.

Today it does not really matter if you have 80 persons in the cc: field or if you send 80 individual emails; the individual ones will have the same from: and the same subject and will be blocked as well. And yes I also send email from my mail server with a subject line that contains the name of that drug that everyone wants to sell me or the name of the organ that everyone wants me to enlarge because I want to test the anti-spam system I just configured at some customer site and I don't want that to be blocked either. If ISPs don't want people to run SMTP servers on their DSL line they should provide a top-notch smarthost, which most don't. Michel.

True. sigh. > Just what do they do for their customers? I'm curious. They provide the local loop and IP transit, which are the only two things a significant part of non-dial-up customers care about.

DNS root name service in Helsinki.
by Lars-Johan Liman 29 Aug '03

29 Aug '03

Just for your information: I.ROOT-SERVERS.NET, the root name server traditionally based in Stockholm, Sweden, has taken its first step outside the country, by deploying a clone in Helsinki, Finland, in cooperation with FICIX, the Finnish Internet Exchange. The Helsinki clone uses anycast and is announced from the same source AS (8674) as the one in Stockholm. The new systems are owned and administrated by Autonomica AB in Stockholm. More sites will follow this autumn. Best regards, /Lars-Johan Liman Manager of i.root-servers.net #---------------------------------------------------------------------- # Lars-Johan Liman, M.Sc. !

Susan, > It just ticks me off because I know there are a lot of > others who will be in this boat. Indeed, there are. I have numerous small customers that have either a single static IP or a /29 block from {Pacific Bell | your ISP} and that occasionally are blocked because either the block is marked as residential or the reverse lookup contains the string "dsl". However, trying to be pragmatic, this is a situation that will eventually solve by itself: Since having {Pacific Bell | your ISP} do anything about it is not an option, when these customers are trying to email to {AOL | some ISP} and are blocked, they will try first to have if {AOL | some ISP} to whitelist the address; if it can't be done they will say "get an ISP that does not suck". There are two sides on this coin; one is that indeed this stinks, but the other one is that AOL receives several billion spams a day, so I can understand that they're trying to control the problem with the tools they have. Curious, have you tried to call AOL to get the IP of the customer whitelisted? Michel.

DShield reports by AS for 'Blaster' and other issues
by Johannes B. Ullrich 29 Aug '03

29 Aug '03

I setup a 'real time' report by AS to assist networks in finding infected systems. The URL: http://www.dshield.org/asreport.php This report is intended for automated parsing, so it comes as a simple tab delimited table with brief 'usage' header. You can filter by target port, protocol and AS. The AS number is required. The AS lookup is somewhat experimental. So feedback is appreciated. -- SANS - Internet Storm Center http://isc.sans.org PGP Key: http://isc.sans.org/jullrich.txt
