China to HK providers you like?
by John A. Kilpatrick 19 Nov '16

19 Nov '16

It's been a while since I've had to look at mainland China connectivity - what is the current situation for point-to-point business circuits from China domestic locations to a datacenter in HK? Does anyone have providers they like? -- John A. Kilpatrick john(a)hypergeek.net | http://www.hypergeek.net/ remember: no obstacles/only challenges

Autunomous system filtering?
by Giuseppe Spanò - Datacast Srl 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

Hi! We are experiencing a strange issue with announcements from our AS207029. On Sept. 16th we began to announce our prefixes 185.85.20.0/22 through our upstream provider AS28716 (E-Planet). Everything worked correctly. Suddenly during the night between 17th and 18th Sept. the visibility of those prefixes dropped heavily (source: ripe stats) and we began experiencing big issues with our customers. We decided then to differentiate the announcements as it follows: AS2876 announces 185.85.20.0/23 AS207029 announces 185.85.22.0/23 (those prefixes are idle at the moment) essentially we split the /22 into two /23 so to keep monitored our AS propagation. What’s happening is interesting: prefixes announced by AS2876 are regularly spread everywhere, those announced by AS207029 not. For example, we can see network 185.85.22.0/23 from HE looking glasses, but we cannot see it into Cogent, Level3 or Split looking glasses. It seems an AS filtering is acting somewhere, and this looks a bit weird to me. Did this ever happen to any of you? Do you have ideas? Our upstream provider (that owns peering sessions with all the above providers) opened tickets to them, but if Network Engineers from Cogent, Level3 or Split should be reading this, could they kindly have a look into their filter configurations? Thank you to all of you for your kind attention. Regards, Giuseppe Spanò - Datacast Srl spano(a)datacast.it

Amsterdam/London Underesea Cables
by Rod Beck 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

Hi, I am trying to determine which undersea cables used for London/Amsterdam traffic are the most reliable - fewest outages due to shunt faults and other problems. Looks like most of the traffic traverses the following systems: Farland North UK-Netherlands Ulysses Circe North Concerto My recollection, which is foggy, is that Circe North was rebuilt due to repeated shunt faults. Feel free to contact me offlist so you can share the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Hi Ronald, You obviously managed to find us ;-) All our contact details are on peeringdb.com, our corporate website, LinkedIn, etc. We should be pretty easy to reach. The message you sent to our 24x7 NOC was marked as “spam”, ironic. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, we’ve asked the customer for clarification on this and in the meantime blocked offending prefixes. We update our filters based on RADB entries which is why these were accepted (valid route entries exist), I’ll evaluate if we need to do more than that. Cheers, Rutger

Paging Olav van Doorn, Jan Willem Meijer, and Rutger Bevaart
by Ronald F. Guilmette 17 Nov '16

17 Nov '16

If anybody can give me an email for any of these principals of Xconnect42, Inc. (Neatherlands) aka AS260, I'd appreciate it. I tried to reach somebody (anybody) at their company via the address I found online for the company <gsc(a)custom-connect.com> but never got any response. That was a week ago. I'm real interested to have these guys explain to me why they are peering with the following ASNs, which all appear to have one and only one BGP peer, i.e. Xconnect24, Inc. AS7971 AS10505 AS6560 AS14029 AS37135 AS37137 Note that each and every one of the above six Afrinic-issued ASNs appears to be announcing routes to gobs and gobs of IPv4 space... mostly prevously abandoned AFRINIC space, but also, in the case of AS10505, numerous /17 hunks of Chinese IPv4 space... to which the ASNs in question do not appear to have any relationship, and where a great deal of the relevant IPv4 address space has been filed up to the brim by U.S.A. based snowshoe spammers, including, apparently, at least one convicted felon and former drug trafficker. Note also that two of the /17 routes currently being announced by AS10505 are for IPv4 space allocated by APNIC to Aliyun Computing, Ltd. which Bloomberg lists as a subsidiary of retail giant Alibaba, currently having a market cap of $232.4 bellion dollars (USD). I dunno. maybe it's just me, but I somehow think that a Chinese company worth almost a quarter of a trillion dollars probably doesn't really need to enlist the help of a long-dead South African ISP to route parts of their space for them. http://imgur.com/a/uR0qQ So anyway, I'd really like to have a brief chat with any or all of the following three gentlemen about all this: CEO - Olav van Doorn https://nl.linkedin.com/in/olavvandoorn Co-founder Jan Willem Meijer: https://www.loth.nl/company-profile-custom-connect/ CTO - Rutger Bevaart https://nl.linkedin.com/in/rutgerbevaart If anybody can put me in touch, I'd apperciate it. Thanks. Regards, rfg

NEVERMIND! (was: Seeking Google reverse DNS delegation contact)
by Ronald F. Guilmette 17 Nov '16

17 Nov '16

My profuse apologies to everyone. It seems that Google is not in fact involved in any way with providing reverse DNS for the 204.8.136.0/21 IP address block. I was deceived into believing it was by some unusual trickey on the part of the spammer-controlled name servers ns1.saversagreeable.com and ns2.saversagreeable.com. You can see the clever deception toward the very end of the dig +trace listing I posted: http://pastebin.com/raw/VNwmgMHh It seems those clever rascal spammers tried to implicate Google's name servers, but it is only their's which are giving out the reverse DNS which suoorts their snowshoe spamming efforts in the 204.8.136.0/21 block. Sorry for my mistake everyone. I wasn't expecting quite this level or kind of reverse DNS delegation trickery. Regards, rfg
