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!

It's been 20 years today (Oct 16, UTC). Hard to believe.
by Rodney Joffe 16 Oct '18

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

some shallow statistics about finding the name/netname for IP address using RDAP and WHOIS
by Martin T 15 Oct '18

15 Oct '18

Hi! For testing a script I generated 10000 random IPv4 and global unicast IPv6 addresses. For all those addresses I tried to find the netname/name attribute value from WHOIS servers using the latest version of https://github.com/rfc1036/whois and RDAP servers using the curl. Basically 'whois -H <ip>' and 'curl -L "https://rdap.db.ripe.net/ip/<ip>"'. Out of those 10000 random IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, 7351 gave the same name/netname using RDAP and WHOIS. In case of 2285 addresses, the RDAP was able to find the name while WHOIS was not. Probably thanks to bootstrap feature. In case of 364 addresses, the WHOIS found a different netname than RDAP. Those cases can be seen here: http://termbin.com/p6u7 Left column is the RDAP and the right one is the WHOIS. If "IANA-BLK" WHOIS results for IPv6 are excluded, then only <1% of queries did not return a result using RDAP while they did return a result using WHOIS. In short, based on this small test, the RDAP is much more reliable than WHOIS for finding the name/netname for an IP address. Maybe those results are interesting or useful for somebody. PS. IPv4 and IPv6 addresses were generated like this: if (( $(($RANDOM % 2)) == 0 )); then # Generate random IPv4 address. printf -v ip '%d.%d.%d.%d' \ "$(($RANDOM % 256))" \ "$(($RANDOM % 256))" \ "$(($RANDOM % 256))" \ "$(($RANDOM % 256))" else # Gnerate random IPv6 global unicast address. hex_digit=( 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f ) ip= for i in {1..7}; do nibble= for i in {1..4}; do nibble="$nibble""${hex_digit[$(($RANDOM % 16))]}" done ip="$ip":"$nibble" done ip=2001"$ip" fi Martin

Hulu / ESPN: Commercial IP Address
by Jason Canady 15 Oct '18

15 Oct '18

Hello, I have a customer that is using Hulu Live to stream ESPN, however it isn't showing up in their Channel list. They reached out to Hulu and it's because their IP address is 'commercial'. We have many customers using Hulu without problems, but it seems specific to ESPN. Anyone else have this issue? Do you reach out to ESPN or Hulu? If anyone has any information, please share it. Appreciate your help in advance! Best Regards, Jason Canady Unlimited Net, LLC Responsive, Reliable, Secure
