We've used cogent for the past year, 100 over GigE. - Clueful and responsive tech support. - Active monitoring of faults. - Helpful people at billing (even when trying to give them less money). We were affected by one depeering during the last year (Telia). We're multihomed and that mitigated the problem. Obviously, you'd never want to go exclusively with them. Cheers, Stef

But not without a nice plug from Twitter, though it's a nice gesture. Which brings me back to the question why Twitter isn't multi-homed, or what the nature of the "network upgrade" is that it brings down their entire network.

Twitter doesn't run their own core or edge. It's all in the NTT "cloud".

Apple SSL CA cert Fail (MacOS 10.5.7)
Hi foks, Ordinarily I wouldn't send reports of operating system bugs that pose no security risk to this list, but I'm making an exception in this case due to the following conditions: 1) There are a lot of Mac users in the NANOG community. 2) There is a preponderance of folks here who run their own CAs 3) CA software, particularly OpenSSL, is byzantine enough that upon running into a problem, one is likely to think he is the faulty party. 4) I just burned three evenings last week chasing this bug. I don't have sufficient extra hair to be spending my evenings tearing it out and you might not either. Summary: MacOSX's keychain access application mishandles importing root CA certs. This only happens under 10.5.7; other versions are fine. There is a workaround using command line tools. Details at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2747 -r

Not true for JUNOS; "discard" routes are still in the forwarding table and are treated as a valid destination when it comes to loose-mode uRPF. -- Chris Adams Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.

spamhaus drop list
I'm looking to implement the Spamhaus drop list. http://www.spamhaus.org/drop/index.lasso On their FAQ they have a script that looks like it grabs the lists text file and connects to a given router, and tells you what has changed in the list, and what your router is null routing. I'm not sure if it then removes the null routes if a list entry has been removed. I haven't found much documentation on the net regarding this. In the future it looks like you will be able to peer with them and null route traffic from a private AS, which will be routes from the drop list. Right now though, it looks like you'd have to update an ACL manually for any changes to the list. Or use this script which null routes the traffic (I guess it's not a big deal getting the syn packets, as long as the mail won't send because of the null route). I am not sure if this script updates the null routes automatically, or how to use it, I can't find to much documentation. Any documentation on this script or another script available. What are your suggestions? thanks
