Static Routing 172.16.0.0/32
by Ryan Hamel 15 Dec '17

15 Dec '17

Greetings, A colleague of mine has static routed 172.16.0.0/32 to a usable IP address, to have a single known IP address be static routed to a regions closest server. While I understand the IP address does work (pings and what not), I don't feel this should be the proper IP address used, but something more feasible like a usable IP in a dedicated range (172.31.0.0/24 for example). I would to hear everyone's thoughts on this, as this the first IP address in an RFC1918 range.

UPnP/IPv6 support in home routers?
by Fernando Gont 15 Dec '17

15 Dec '17

Folks, Anyone can comment on the UPnP support for IPv6 in home routers? Those that I have checked have UPnP support for IPv4, but not for IPv6 -- even when the home router does otherwise support IPv6. Looking at UPnP itself, it seems to allow opening holes at the IGD, but on a fully-specified (local ip, local port, remote ip, remote port) basis, which kind of sucks -- as one would want to be able to whitelist all ports for a given IP address, or at least (local ip, local port). Thanks! Best regards, -- Fernando Gont SI6 Networks e-mail: fgont(a)si6networks.com PGP Fingerprint: 6666 31C6 D484 63B2 8FB1 E3C4 AE25 0D55 1D4E 7492

IPv4 /24 Broker or no broker
by TimJ 14 Dec '17

14 Dec '17

Just looking for info. I know there are a lot of brokers, but is that a good (easy and quick) way to sell a /24 ? We're renumbering and plan to free up a /24. My boss is asking how much we could roughly expect to get for it, and the fastest/easiest way to 'sell' the block. It's a single /24, in the ARIN region (not part of a larger allocation). Suggestions? Tim

What to do about BGP Hijacks
by Job Snijders 14 Dec '17

14 Dec '17

Some carriers view measures to improve routing security as a hinderance rather than as a safeguard to enable business. The BGP protocol itself has no inherent safety mechanisms, so the network operator has to ensure adequate layers of protection are implemented on the boundary between their own network and the Internet. Normalcy bias may play a role, I see carriers target short term gain by heavily relying on the assumption that there will never be any misconfigurations or malicious attacks. Of course yesterday’s incident shows otherwise. For many networks the topic of routing security becomes a priority, only after they've suffered the consequences of an incident. In the long term, the best way to protect against this type of BGP hijacking is to require your connectivity suppliers to implement relevant security measures. Also require full incident reports after BGP hijacks through your provider or IXP have been observed. The moment it becomes socially unacceptable to operate an Internet network without adequate protections in place, there is economic incentive to view routing security efforts as a competitive advantage rather than a nuisance. Consider voting with your wallet, this applies to both IP transit carriers and IXP route server operators. Ask your suppliers what they are doing to prevent BGP hijacks. Ars Technica has a great write-up on the latest BGP hijacking incident: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/12/suspicious-event-rou… This MANRS article is on point as well: https://www.manrs.org/2017/12/another-bgp-routing-incident-highlights-an-in… Kind regards, Job

Ticketmaster?
by Ryan Gard 13 Dec '17

13 Dec '17

Can somebody from ticketmaster contact me off list? These arbitrary blocks are getting ridiculous, and we continue to field a large number of customer complaints from this. Also not impressed with front end customer support continuing to lay blame at the service provider's feet and spread misinformation to end users so they walk away washing their hands for a situation created by ticketmaster (*Oh, you must be sharing your IP with everyone else in your area*) Secondly, if anybody's had luck actually waking somebody up with some sort of sway or pull at ticketmaster, shoot me a line off list if you could. I'd be eternally grateful. Thanks! -- Ryan Gard

Any Telus (AS852) BGP customers in the house?
by Jason Lixfeld 13 Dec '17

13 Dec '17

Hello! As a fellow AS852 BGP customer, I’m looking to chat with other AS852 BGP customers on the topic of modifications to the prefix filters attached to your BGP session(s). Specifically, understanding the procedure Telus wants you to follow to request any changes, how long it takes the requested changes to be implemented, and whether or not there are any costs associated with those changes. Off-list is probably appropriate. Thanks in advance!
