no more domain talk
by Phil Howard 26 Nov '97

26 Nov '97

It's time to end the domain talk on NANOG. Take it elsewhere, but end it here. If you see something you must reply to, reply to the sender directly, not to the list. Maybe domain-policy(a)internic.net is the right list or maybe not, but NANOG definitely is not.

First off Kashpureff and those who backed his original version of Alternic made many mistakes. I witnessed these errors and I opposed the inconsistancies. Second no-one owns the namespace. Not Alternic, not IANA, not CORE not Internic not anyone. Everyone must have equal access to the many resources of the Internet and all these Domain Names are just one. So, anyone who can meet the appropriate technical standards must have their place at the table. Mr. Tamplin's insistance that only corporations are trustworthy is patently absurd. Morality and immorality are no more the preserve of conglomerates than it is of individuals. Finally, while attempting to spark a peace and reconciliation process among the conflicting parties it is necessary to envisage the worse possible result of current internet developments. And that would be the transfer of the existing Internic monopoly to this new CORE monopoly. And the resulting concentration of Internet regulatory powers entirely beyond the control of the general public. And then we must consider appropriate activities. And then we must act instead of talking. Kashpureff pointed the way if failure of peace negotiations is in our future. We will simply have no alternative.

Except for the fact that we've been trying to weld some sort of consensus via many articles, private e-mail among all of these parties Mr. Herbert would be absolutely bang on. But he's off target. Instead of criticizing Postel, Crocker, Vixie, Metzger and all these incompetants driving this mess Mr. Hebert is attacking those few people actually willing to put their necks on the line to force change. I still believe peace is possible and that IETF is the perfect place for discussions to begin. If this does not happen, if the mono-maniacs behind CORE are not replaced, if the monopolies are not broken there will be an escalation of protest actions and interventions. It will be the only alternative left to those who want justice, value liberty and cherish freedom. It's that important.

Let's not forget that everyone attempted to profit in their own way from Eugene's devil dare and gutsy Alternic pioneering. And, all joking aside, understand that if things do not go "our" way, CORE is successfully rammed down our throats and none of the schemes to counteract IANA pan out there will be a lot more people in jail with Eugene. And it is up to those with similar views and the resources to assist others who actually do the fighting. That's how revolutions worked in history as in our times.

Advisory - tunneling of IP at exchange points.
by Paul Thornton 25 Nov '97

25 Nov '97

-- PLEASE NOTE: If you are replying to this, consider pruning the list -- of cc's rather than crossposting replies wildly! Thanks. The LINX and several of its members have recently had to take action against an ISP that was using GRE tunneling between exchange points to appropriate the capacity of other ISPs. Although the offending party is now unlikely to repeat this abuse, we feel that this is an important vulnerabilty which could potentially be newly exploited by others elsewhere. We have created an advisory which describes details of the vulnerability, and how to detect and prevent it. This advisory can be found at http://www.linx.net/tunnel-advisory.txt Any questions are best referred to the authors listed in the advisory text. I would like to gratefully acknowledge the efforts of Lyndon Levesley and Alex Bligh at GX Networks among others in tracking down the abuse and creating this document.

Important: NANOG List Changes
by William B. Norton 25 Nov '97

25 Nov '97

Hi Guys - Glad to see that many of you have subscribed to the new nanog-post(a)merit.edu mailing list. We've now decided to wait until Monday, December 1, to switch over to the new posting process. After that date, you'll need to also be subscribed to nanog-post(a)merit.edu in order to post to the nanog(a)merit.edu list. (You'll still post your messages to nanog(a)merit.edu, but unless you've subscribed to nanog-post, your messages will rejected.) To subscribe, send e-mail to majordomo(a)merit.edu with 'subscribe nanog-post' (without the quotes) as the text of the message. You will receive a confirmation request, and once answered, you will be able to post to the nanog mailing list. Bill

Most cisco routers run by ISPs (here on NANOG) have at least 50 interfaces (subinterfaces) and usually average 100. Each and every interface/subinterface has to be blocked. So it is either create an extended access list with all 100 individual interface addresses blocked (and update it as new customers get connected) or block by subnet, i.e if all interfaces come from a 255.255.255.252 (/30) subnetted block, then block the whole /24. But then the problem I discussed below creeps up. Any recommendations on how to block this by subnet (assuming the router side always has the same bit position in the subnet)? -Hank >-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > >> Does BGP use TCP or UDP? > >TCP. > >> If TCP then we are in trouble. > >I don't think so. > >> Almost everyone >> has access to the Internet via BGP.

It may be called a "friend of the court" brief, (only probably in Latin). Some well-written papers (briefs) about the dangers posed by those who threaten the Internet infrastructure may be useful in this case. -tjs
