IRR pollution helps because all of *MY* uplinks filter, even if theirs don't. --Phil -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog@merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu] On Behalf Of nanog@missnglnk.com Sent: Tuesday, August 06, 2002 1:57 PM To: nanog@merit.edu Subject: Re: Deaggregating for emergency purposes On Tue, Aug 06, 2002 at 01:29:58PM -0400, Phil Rosenthal wrote:
Most ISPs that build off of the IRR's do it nightly. I am talking about 10 /24's out of /19, and I'm not announcing any of the /24's -- and wont unless there is an emergency, and only then would it be temporary.
Yes, and during that time, you could have: a) Gone to CompUSA and bought some translation software. b) Installed Windows and Office XP. c) E-mailed some friends in fluid Spanish/German/Italian. d) Bought a $10 international calling card. e) Gone back to CompUSA and bought some text to speech software. f) Put it all together in an e-mail to the ISP's upstreams, and blasted the NOC's phone with a translated message of "Stop announcing 192.168.0.0/16, it is my space". And once again, if the ISPs in question receiving the routes actually filtered based on IRR data, the route would not have made it in the first place, correct? So how is IRR pollution going to help this if there's no IRR filtering policy to begin with?

What about announcing and registering with your IRR, more-specific routes for the period that the problem ONLY exists, instead of being lazy?
If all else fails, break out Outlook and your favorite translator, because last time I checked, speaking English was not a requirement to
run a network. Even if most of you do, this is not a "Majority Rules" situation.

get on the bandwaggon that filtering is a good thing ?? :)
at some point some transit is going to listen and drop the announcement.
Lets take an example. Deep Dark middle of asia, someone starts announcing a /24 of yours. Their upstream takes the packet, and so forth. At some point they will touch a NSP or ISP (international service provider) and you can get things dropped their.
Yes. End of story. Go directly to the finish diamond at the end of your flowchart. If the next step in your flowchart is "pollute IRRs with 3592375238957235893275839572 /32s", please return your maintainer
object.
Your pushing out a /24 will help slurp some of the traffic towards you, but not all.
Personally I have deagged some prefixes to cause a DOS/DDOS towards a particular address to route down a slow connection I had. Sacrifice one link, to keep customers running on the others. But thats different.
Yes, but you removed it later on, correct?
Its about networking, the people kind, at this point.

But the question is, what do you do if it's coming from somewhere with a difficult to contact NOC, and their upstream is difficult
contact as well?

Hmm, this would be a "Bad Idea" (TM) (C) 2002, DMCA Protected
Having had this happen to me several different times, I'd have to recommend, calling the NOC of the advertising party. as the pref'd way of handling it.

I am currently announcing only my aggregate routes, but I have lately thought about the possibility of someone mistakenly, or
maliciously,
announcing more specifics from my space. The best solution for an emergency response to that (that I can think of), is registering all of the /24's that make up my network, so if someone should announce a more-specific, I can always announce the most specific that would be accepted (assuming they don't announce the /24's too, it should be a problem avoided)
Does anyone else have any other ideas on ways to quickly deal with someone else announcing your more specifics, since contacting
to their
NOC is likely going to take a long time...
