PitIX or pair.com
by Mike Hammett 24 Mar '16

24 Mar '16

Do any of you have any information on PitIX? It looks like it was another IX started by a datacenter that didn't pan out. Therefore, anyone have a contact at pair.com? An inquiry sent to their web site (well, whatever contact information they have on it) has gone unanswered. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com

Paging someone at SonicWall/Dell
by Dan Mahoney, System Admin 24 Mar '16

24 Mar '16

All, If anyone has any contacts at Dell/SonicWall that can assist, their latest firewalls have a misfeature that have started blocking F-root (ISC, my Day-job) as a possible botnet responder. You can reach me, 24/7, at 703-338-2497, or at dmahoney(a)isc.org. Needless to say, this is seriously bad. As we ourselves are not Sonicwall users, our options here are limited. I've gotten their usual call center nonsense where they told me "I need to contact my system administrator" and wouldn't transfer me further. I've submitted a "removal" request via the form at http://botnet.global.sonicwall.com/change, but that still doesn't help if there's a firmware out there doing broken hueristics and mass-DDOSing folks. If for some reason there actually IS some botnet-related traffic going on toward the root servers (the root servers get a LOT of garbage, so this doesn't surprise me), we'd like to know that too. -Dan Mahoney -- --------Dan Mahoney-------- Techie, Sysadmin, WebGeek Gushi on efnet/undernet IRC ICQ: 13735144 AIM: LarpGM Site: http://www.gushi.org ---------------------------

NTT communications horrible routing, unresponsive NOC
by Paras Jha 24 Mar '16

24 Mar '16

Hi all, I've been trying to get this issue resolved for the entire day now, but NTT has been pretty unreceptive here. We're announcing a large prefix for a client across our network, and we discovered some insanely high latency. After tracking down the issue, we determined it to be something wrong with NTT at their Seattle location. We anycast this prefix, but no matter where in the world traffic is originating from, it's going to Seattle and then to Atlanta. Example: Rotterdam in the Netherlands routes from Europe -> east coast -> west coast Seattle -> los angeles -> atlanta. The gist of it is that something is seriously messed up at NTT in Seattle. We contacted our transit provider to try and carry the issue upstream, and what they told us was Sorry for delay, I've asked NTT to clear the more specific for this one as well. The problem seems to be a bug on the NTT side which keeps stale routes in the routing table for more specifics ( at random ). If you have more routes affected please notify us of the routes and I will ask them to clear the routing table for these routes. NTT is working on this with their vendor to get this resolved as soon as possible. I had spoken to a sales rep for NTT a few weeks prior, and they assured me that the NOC was top notch, and that all routes were redundant, and they guaranteed less than 50ms in the US, and all kinds of marketing. However, it looks like it's all marketing - for this entire day this router has been causing tons of issues for our clients. No-exporting it to NTT does not even solve the problem, as NTT's router in Seattle apparently just decides to keep random small prefixes in it, causing traffic to go there. At a loss as to what to do now, since their NOC isn't receptive. Anyone have someone I can contact off-list to get this issue resolved? It's especially frustrating because the problem absolutely cannot be resolved on our end, even with a no-export since NTT is keeping the routes in their router.

Any GoDaddy network engineers on this list?
by Dave Provine 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

I seem to have a routing problem from you to me, and of course neither the frontline nor the ³advanced² support has any interest in understanding the issue, which is likely a simple fix for the right engineer.

Re: Why the US Government has so many data centers
by Scott Weeks 22 Mar '16

22 Mar '16

I finally looked at the Data Center Optimization Initiative (DCOI) at https://datacenters.cio.gov. If you're planning to provide feedback I would just about assure you that this will not be looked at by anyone that will be able to do anything. Likely, there'll be containers for expected/wanted responses and the rest will goto the bit bucket. It's a pressure release valve. (Let `em get it off their chests and then we'll do what we normally do: create confusion and chaos, so no one notices what's actually being done) The politics of gov't folks will over run everything reasonable put forth by non-gov't folks like a stampede of bison. scott

So Cal Verizon Business FIOS to Frontier cutover
by Paul B. Henson 22 Mar '16

22 Mar '16

So the transition from Verizon to Frontier is coming up, and I recently got a notice from Verizon pointing me to the following website: http://meetfrontier.com/ Evidently one of the things Verizon did not sell to Frontier is their IP address space, as it seems customers with static IP addresses are going to have to change their allocations :(. I have five statics, and while it is not the end of the world, it will certainly be annoying to have to reconfigure not only my equipment but also update the configurations of my clients that access it and the other service providers I access who restrict based on it <sigh>. I was hoping to get some simple additional information regarding this migration, such as: * How far in advance of the cutover will we be notified? * How far in advance of the cutover will we be supplied with the new static IP addresses? * How big will the cutover window be, and will it be attended or unattended? * How will reverse DNS resolution be handled? So I called the phone number on the website that was provided for questions or additional information. I'm not quite sure why they provided it, as the person who answered it had absolutely no information to provide other than that that was already on the website, and said they were unable to direct me to anyone who could provide any further information; I guess it was for people who needed the website read to them? Any chance there is a Frontier engineer on the list who might be able to provide this information, anonymously if necessary :)? Or someone who has gone through a Verizon to Frontier FIOS static IP address transition in another location who might describe their experience with the assumption it will be similar in California? As far as reverse DNS, the only thing I can seem to find is this: http://hostmaster.frontier.com/reverse.html Which talks about "Business Class DSL and Dedicated Internet" customers, not sure if it applies to FIOS? What I'd really like is to get my PTR entries delegated to me via CNAMEs so I could control the TTLs and update them whenever I wanted to without having to hassle the provider (one of my colleagues has this arrangement with charter business cable), Verizon was never willing to do that. On another note, does anybody have any idea regarding Frontier's position on rolling out IPv6 for business FIOS :)? Hopefully they won't be quite as archaic and stuck in the mud as Verizon has been on that topic :(. Thanks much for any info.
