by Mehmet Akcin 17 Oct '18

hi there, I am trying to help a good friend of mine to connect his office to a pop (in bay area most likely) so I am in the need of identifying some network providers in Reno who can provide this service. Currently charter and AT&T are onnet in the facility but the prices they are quoting is "out of this world" :) thank you for your help Mehmet

NAT on a Trident/Qumran(/or other?) equipped whitebox?
by Jason Lixfeld 16 Oct '18

16 Oct '18

Has anyone played around with this? Curious if the BCM (or whatever other chip) can do this, and if not, if any of the box vendors have tried to find a way to get these things to do a bunch of NAT - say some flavour of NAT, line-rate @ 10G. If so, anyone know of a NOS that has support for it? OcNOS, Cumulus Linux, PicOS and Switch Light OS seem to have none, but not sure if there are others out there. Thanks!

At NANOG two weeks ago, we had an interesting discussion at one of the lunch tables. One of the subjects we discussed was the original IANA, and RFC Editor, Jon Postel. Seven of the ten people at the table had never heard of him. Maybe these days it no longer matters who he was, and what he meant to where we are today. <Sigh> For those who care about the history of the Internet, and routing and addressing. And protocols… https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2468 Oct 16, 1998.

ARIN TAL copyright
by Baldur Norddahl 16 Oct '18

16 Oct '18

Hi, The URL to the ARIN TAL nor the ARIN TAL document itself is not copyrightable. The ARIN TAL document contains a URL and a key, which is a machine generated random number. Neither is based on any creative work whatsoever, and so can not be copyrighted. Also would be protected by free speech and fair use. The service itself can have terms and conditions, but access the the TAL document is not an effective enforcement. Bundlers of software can include this information at will. No need to download it. I understand the issue is that ARIN wants protection from being sued, should I somehow harm myself with this service. However ARIN already offers a similar service without any terms and conditions: The reverse DNS. As reverse DNS is often used by SMTP mail servers and mail clients to stop spam, I might not receive an important mail due to the failure of the ARIN reverse DNS service. And then sue ARIN for my financial loss. As a compromise, I suggest that ARIN outsource the service to somewhere with a less hostile legal environment. For example, maybe RIPE could mirror the ARIN service. The ARIN service may still require terms and conditions, while automatically installed software would use the RIPE mirror. Regards, Baldur
