AusNOG 2024 - Call For Papers
by Mark 01 Mar '24

01 Mar '24

Hi NANOG, The Program Committee is very happy to announce that the AusNOG 2024 Call For Papers is now open! AusNOG 2024 will be back in Sydney, Australia at the Fullerton Hotel 5th & 6th of September 2024. We are looking for presentations that an audience working predominantly in the network operating space will find interesting and useful. As always, we do not accept marketing or sales material as part of any presentation. The CFP will close on May 30th 2024. This allows time for the Program Committee to review papers and choose the program, so we can hopefully have it published online much earlier this year. Please express your interest and a description of the topic you'd like to present, via our new portal: https://cfp.ausnog.net/ausnog-2024/ Thank you, and see you in Sydney, for AusNOG 2024! Regards, Mark Duffell on behalf of the AusNOG PC (Jocelyn, Joe, Phil, James & Michael)

Leap Day
by Jay R. Ashworth 01 Mar '24

01 Mar '24

Late, just saw the posting on BlueSky: In the wake of NTP inventor Dave Mills' death, probably the next ranking topchimer is NIST's Judah Levine, and the New York Times interviewed him about why we have leap years, which makes sense; all the other news outlets had to make do with lower-ranking (and less well spoken) "time experts" (I'm lookin' at you, NPR...) https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/29/science/leap-day-easter.html Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

List of GMAIL DNS *clients*?
by bzs＠theworld.com 29 Feb '24

29 Feb '24

Occasionally one of our log analyzers will block gmail DNS requests causing bounces when gmail claims our domain(s) are not authenticated, they can't get to our SPF etc. I'd like to whitelist them but does anyone know the list of IP blocks I need? -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs(a)TheWorld.com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: +1 617-STD-WRLD | 800-THE-WRLD The World: Since 1989 | A Public Information Utility | *oo*

IPv6 connectivity to mx[1-4].smtp.goog.
by Marco Davids (Private) 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

Hi, At https://internet.nl we're seeing IPv6 connection issues on TCP port 25 (SMTP) to mx[1-4].smtp.goog. Either 100% DROP (so no TCP connection) or ⅔ failure to setup connection. Further testing seems to confirm the problem is bigger and on Google's side. So, this fails: echo 'quit' | nc -6 -w 3 mx1.smtp.goog. 25 and this works: echo 'quit' | nc -4 -w 3 mx1.smtp.goog. 25 (on MacOS use -G instead of -w) Is anyone else seeing this? Any idea what is causing this? -- Marco

starlink ixp peering progress
by Dave Taht 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

One of the things I learned today was that starlink has published an extensive guide as to how existing BGP AS holders can peer with them to get better service. https://starlink-enterprise-guide.readme.io/docs/peering-with-starlink I am curious if there is a way to see how many have peered already, how many they could actually peer with?, and progress over time since inception.... what would be the right tools for that? This is pretty impressive for peering so far: https://www.peeringdb.com/net/18747 Is there a better email list to discuss ixp stuff? -- https://blog.cerowrt.org/post/2024_predictions/ Dave Täht CSO, LibreQos

Why are paper LOAs still used?
by Seth Mattinen 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

Why do companies still insist on, or deploy new systems that rely on paper LOA for IP and ASN resources? How can this be considered more trustworthy than RIR based IRR records? And I'm not even talking about old companies, I have a situation right now where a VPS provider I'm using will no longer use IRR and only accepts new paper LOAs. In the year 2024. I don't understand how anyone can go backwards like that. ~Seth
