Atlanta <--> Jax Fiber Outage?
by Robert Gash 24 Jan '00

24 Jan '00

I'm noticing severe reachability problems on the Jacksonville, FL <--> Atlanta, GA links. The issue appears to be a fiber cut (or a partial fiber cut) between my upstream and Sprint Atlanta. Can anyone confirm this outage? -- .----------------- PGP Key: `finger gashalot(a)gashalot.com` -----------------. | Robert Gash | Work - gashalot(a)fasturl.net | | Senior Systems Administrator | Personal - gashalot(a)gashalot.com | | VenerNet Inc -- www.fasturl.net | http://www.gashalot.com | `---- PGP Key Fprint: 78 5D 64 D2 99 F3 D8 A0 B2 56 DF EF F2 C6 D3 DF ----'

24 Jan '00

The Telecommunications Policy Research Conference is increasingly turning its attention to Internet policy issues, reflective in the change in the name of the conference this year. Traditionally the participants are academians and government policy makers. It is hoped by many (such as myself) that there will be increased participation by NANOG and IETF types. More information about the conference is available at the website. -Bob Cannon CALL FOR PAPERS www.tprc.org TPRC Presents: The 28th Research Conference on Communication, Information and Internet Policy September 23-25, 2000 Alexandria, Virginia TPRC is an annual forum for dialogue among scholars and decision-makers from the public and private sectors engaged in communication and information policy. The purpose of the conference is to acquaint policymakers with the best of recent research and to familiarize researchers with the knowledge needs of policymakers and industry. The TPRC program is assembled from submitted and invited abstracts. TPRC is now soliciting proposals for papers for presentation at its 2000 conference. Proposals should be based on current theoretical and/or empirical research relevant to the making of communication and information policy, and may be from any disciplinary perspective. TPRC welcomes national, international, or comparative studies. Subject areas of particular interest include, but are not limited to the following. An elaboration for each topic is available at the above URL. Privacy Universal Service (Social and Economic perspectives) International Governance (e.g. WIPO, WTO, ITU, ICANN, IETF, W3C) Pricing Structure User Studies Infrastructure (e.g. Broadband Development) Mass Media and the Internet (e.g. Streaming Media) Intellectual Property (e.g. Deep Linking and Copyright) Wireless Policy Challenges (e.g. 3G, Bluetooth, Spread Spectrum, WAP) Sustainable Open Source Models Network Reliability (e.g. Y2K, 2036, NRIC) Real Options and Investments Access, Pinch Points and Antitrust Accessibility Issues Community Networking Internet and Human Rights (e.g. Culture, Gender and Censorship) IP Telephony (e.g. Settlement and QOS) Internet Service Quality Economics & Policy Value Sensitive Design of Cyberspace Regulation of Online Activity (e.g. Taxation, Gambling, Protection of the Vulnerable, Grey Markets) Civil Society, Political Participation and the Internet E-Commerce (e.g. Trust, Security, Liability and Dispute Resolution) Bandwidth and Spectrum Markets Regulatory Design for Economic Growth and Development Globalization of the Knowledge Economy Statistical Studies Critical Infrastructure, Cyberwar and Law Enforcement Internet Appliances Evolution of Industry Structure Abstracts should be certain to contain a clear statement of the central ideas and outcomes of the research, in addition to a description of the topic being addressed.

URGENT NEED HELP: DOS Currently underway via our C&W transit link
by John M. Brown 23 Jan '00

23 Jan '00

We have a DOS attach currently underway via our C&W transit link. This is consuming all bandwidth on the C&W link. This is NOT transiting our other backbone links Source IP's are random Dest IP is 206.29.129.98 which is a Co-Lo server using 206.29.129.96 /27 Certainly would be nice if people would filter on there edges. If anyone can lend help in finding this nice person doing this, there will be a reward at NANOG San Jose! :) Here is a snip from CFLOW mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss ii oi srcAS src_address mk port next_hop_addr dstAS dst_address mk port pr tos flgs packets bytes -------- -------- -- -- ----- --------------- -- ----- --------------- ----- --------------- -- ----- -- --- ---- ---------- ---------- 01/22/100 23:54:30 2 1 0 168.87.199.44 00 23098 206.29.129.98 0 206.29.129.98 27 23 6 8 00 1 40 01/22/100 23:54:30 2 1 0 195.64.161.18 00 28986 206.29.129.98 0 206.29.129.98 27 23 6 8 00 1 40 01/22/100 23:54:30 2 1 0 159.225.88.89 00 31034 206.29.129.98 0 206.29.129.98 27 23 6 8 00 1 40 01/22/100 23:54:30 2 1 0 51.173.107.119 00 34874 206.29.129.98 0 206.29.129.98 27 23 6 8 00 1 40 01/22/100 23:54:30 2 1 0 72.228.241.56 00 39226 206.29.129.98 0 206.29.129.98 27 23 6 8 00 1 40 01/22/100 23:54:30 2 1 0 114.152.168.77 00 45114 206.29.129.98 0 206.29.129.98 27 23 6 8 00 1 40 01/22/100 23:54:30 2 1 0 6.198.65.52 00 49210 206.29.129.98 0 206.29.129.98 27 23 6 8 00 1 40 01/22/100 23:54:30 2 1 0 218.86.51.65 00 55610 206.29.129.98 0 206.29.129.98 27 23 6 8 00 1 40 01/22/100 23:54:30 2 1 0 148.224.190.10 00 61242 206.29.129.98 0 206.29.129.98 27 23 6 8 00 1 40 01/22/100 23:54:30 2 1 0 38.123.67.54 00 59 206.29.129.98 0 206.29.129.98 27 23 6 8 00 1 40 01/22/100 23:54:30 2 1 0 178.119.185.125 00 1851 206.29.129.98 0 206.29.129.98 27 23 6 8 00 1 40 01/22/100 23:54:30 2 1 0 119.254.14.35 00 8507 206.29.129.98 0 206.29.129.98 27 23 6 8 00 1 40 01/22/100 23:54:30 2 1 0 5.4.243.62 00 14139 206.29.129.98 0 206.29.129.98 27 23 6 8 00 1 40 01/22/100 23:54:30 2 1 0 57.135.125.85 00 16187 206.29.129.98 0 206.29.129.98 27 23 6 8 00 1 40 01/22/100 23:54:30 2 1 0 56.100.199.112 00 20795 206.29.129.98 0 206.29.129.98 27 23 6 8 00 1 40 01/22/100 23:54:30 2 1 0 35.18.98.42 00 27451 206.29.129.98 0 206.29.129.98 27 23 6 8 00 1 40 01/22/100 23:54:30 2 1 0 129.177.110.76 00 30523 206.29.129.98 0 206.29.129.98 27 23 6 8 00 1 40 01/22/100 23:54:30 2 1 0 166.57.114.31 00 33083 206.29.129.98 0 206.29.129.98 27 23 6 8 00 1 40 01/22/100 23:54:30 2 1 0 88.123.137.92 00 37435 206.29.129.98 0 206.29.129.98 27 23 6 8 00 1 40 01/22/100 23:54:30 2 1 0 170.35.224.39 00 43579 206.29.129.98 0 206.29.129.98 27 23 6 8 00 1 40 01/22/100 23:54:30 2 1 0 59.166.68.52 00 48955 206.29.129.98 0 206.29.129.98 27 23 6 8 00 1 40 01/22/100 23:54:30 2 1 0 167.153.104.107 00 53051 206.29.129.98 0 206.29.129.98 27 23 6 8 00 1 40 01/22/100 23:54:30 2 1 0 179.106.107.86 00 55611 206.29.129.98 0 206.29.129.98 27 23 6 8 00 1 40 01/22/100 23:54:30 2 1 0 88.195.189.97 00 59963 206.29.129.98 0 206.29.129.98 27 23 6 8 00 1 40 01/22/100 23:54:30 2 1 0 250.102.51.105 00 64827 206.29.129.98 0 206.29.129.98 27 23 6 8 00 1 40 01/22/100 23:54:30 2 1 0 211.55.122.90 00 4924 206.29.129.98 0 206.29.129.98 27 23 6 8 00 1 40 01/22/100 23:54:30 2 1 0 149.44.239.105 00 6716 206.29.129.98 0 206.29.129.98 27 23 6 8 00 1 40

Actually, you provided enough details, so any unix guy who knows his sockets can write the program in fifteen minutes. This type of attack was known for a long time (and there are even nastier variations using TCP header bits and fragments), and, unfortunately, there's no good defense against it. The core routers are indeed vulnerable; is there any router which has an access list for restricting packet flow to the routing processor? (My knowledge of latest-and-greatest features from OFRV is somewhat outdated). A toyed with the idea of reverse-path verification coupled with some kind of super-squelch message; but so far all such schemes have holes in them. DoS attacks are a real scourge. --vadim

The Cidr Report
by Tony Bates 21 Jan '00

21 Jan '00

This is an auto-generated mail on Fri Jan 21 12:00:02 PST 2000 It is not checked before it leaves my workstation. However, hopefully you will find this report interesting and will take the time to look through this to see if you can improve the amount of aggregation you perform. The report is split into sections: 0) General Status List the route table history for the last week, list any possibly bogus routes seen and give some status on ASes. 1) Gains by aggregating at the origin AS level This lists the "Top 30" players who if they decided to aggregate their announced classful prefixes at the origin AS level could make a significant difference in the reduction of the current size of the Internet routing table. This calculation does not take into account the inclusion of holes when forming an aggregate so it is possible even larger reduction should be possible. 2) Weekly Delta A summary of the last weeks changes in terms of withdrawn and added routes. Please note that this is only a snapshot but does give some indication of ASes participating in CIDR. Clearly, it is generally a good thing to see a large amont of withdrawls. 3) Interesting aggregates Interesting here means not an aggregate made as a set of classful routes. Thanks to xara.net for giving me access to their routing tables once a day. Please send any comments about this report directly to me.
