We had many outages in region last 24 hours and with reason of metro fiber burning. Sorry if this is slightly out of topic here. Could not find any news anywhere related internet impact Thanks

If I announce 192.0.2.0/24, do I need a discard route? (Looking for a reference…)
by Warren Kumari 02 Feb '24

02 Feb '24

Hey all, This falls into the "Somebody is wrong on the Internet …" category. So, let's say I'm announcing some address space (e.g 192.0.2.0/24), but I'm only using part of it internally (e.g 192.0.2.0/25). I've always understood that it's best practice[0] to have a discard route (eg static to null0/discard or similar[1]) for what I'm announcing. There are a bunch of reasons for this, but the standard (or easiest to explain one!) is what happens if this comes from some provider space, and they announce a supernet/covering route. If I *don't* have a discard/hold-down route, and a packet is sent to part of the space I'm not using (e.g 192.0.2.200), I would send it to the covering route, they would just send it back to the more specific, I'd return it to them, etc… Many, but not all mechanisms that people use for advertising a route in BGP automagically create this sort of discard route (e.g Juniper's 'aggregate'), but I wasn't really able to find any useful documentation suggesting that if you announce a route, you should make sure that you have some route covering all of the space… Perhaps there isn't really anything saying this (because it's obvious), but I'd really like to find something so that I can point at it…. Can anyone help me win this somewhat pointless argument? W [0]: Best practice as in "you should do this, unless you've got some weird corner case and have thought about it for more than a few seconds...." [1]: Yes, in some cases I'll have e.g an interface that match the announcement, and that accomplishes the same thing. [3]: E.g. 192.0.2.0/24 comes from a provider, and they are announcing something shorter.

Wow! The reason it’s called generative AI is because it totally made that up. Kind Regards, Jakob Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2024 18:27:24 +0000 From: "Compton, Rich" <RICH_COMPTON(a)comcast.com> To: Mohammad Khalil <eng.mssk(a)gmail.com>, NANOG list <nanog(a)nanog.org> Subject: Re: SOVC - BGp RPKI Message-ID: <SN7PR11MB6900EC6CF08C1CA9D8D4ABA8FA7C2(a)SN7PR11MB6900.namprd11.prod.outlook.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" ChatGPT says: SOVC in the context of RPKI (Resource Public Key Infrastructure) on a Cisco router stands for "Stale Origin Validation Cache". RPKI is a security framework designed to secure the Internet's routing infrastructure, primarily through route origin validation. It ensures that the Internet number resources (like IP addresses and AS numbers) are used by the legitimate owners or authorized AS (Autonomous System). In RPKI, Route Origin Authorizations (ROAs) are used to define which AS is authorized to announce a specific IP address block. Network devices, like Cisco routers, use these ROAs to validate the authenticity of BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) route announcements. The term "stale" in SOVC refers to a situation where the router's RPKI-to-Router protocol client has lost its connection to the RPKI server, or when the RPKI cache data is outdated and not refreshed for some reason. This can happen due to network issues, configuration errors, or problems with the RPKI server itself. When the RPKI cache is stale, the router cannot reliably validate BGP route announcements against the latest ROA data, potentially affecting routing decisions. In a network security context, maintaining an up-to-date RPKI cache is crucial for ensuring that the network only accepts legitimate routing announcements, thereby reducing the risk of routing hijacks or misconfigurations. As a network security engineer, managing and monitoring the RPKI status on routers is an important aspect of ensuring network security and integrity.

In bgp_sovc.h, at the top, it says: BGP Secure Origin Validation Code Further down in the file, it says: BGP Secured Origin Validate Cache – SOVC Basically, the router downloads the VRPs from the RPKI server, using RFC 6810. Then it uses the downloaded VRPs to validate received routes using RFC 6811. SOVC refers to the code that does that.

NFPA 70 National Electrical Code 2026 first draft changes
by Sean Donelan 31 Jan '24

31 Jan '24

The Code Making Panels for the NFPA 70 National Electrical Code meet for the last couple of weeks (Jan 15-26, 2024). One proposed change for 2026 is "Keeping the NEC Relevant - Is Now the Time to Modernize?" https://peg.atis.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/NEC-Correlating-Committee-W… It mostly just renumbers/reorganizes the NEC. Old time electricians will grumble because almost every code number changes. However,the proposed change also takes data systems out of Chapter 7 - Special Conditions and seperate Chapter 8 - Communication Systems. Chapter 8 is currently a stand-alone section traditionally maintained by communication utilities. In the U.S., for the last 40 years code enforcement officials mostly ignored Chapter 8 and communication wiring installation practices. POE is changing that. Power of Ethernet has morphed data networks into integrated power, lighting, emergency, life-safety and communication systems. It will be interesting to see how code enforcement officials reacts to moving the stand-alone communication wiring installation practices into the general enforcement part of the NEC.

The inventor of NTP, in the late 1970s, and recipient of the 2013 IEEE Internet Award “for significant leadership and sustained contributions in the research, development, standardization, and deployment of quality time synchronization capabilities for the Internet”, Dr. David Lennox Mills died in Delaware on January 17, at 85. Rarely have I more wanted to say "perhaps we'll see him again later". Cheerss, -- jra -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
