75th Broad up/down?
An online magazine I work with is, we believe, hosted at 75 Broad or 111 8th. It dropped out Monday night, right after they announced that the diesel pumps had fried due to flooding at 75 Broad, came back up early Tuesday morning, and then died again this morning. IP address is in 74.63.44.0/24 block (which may be part of a larger block). Pinging 74.63.44.255 gets me replies from 208.122.44.210 only. Anyone know the current status of these facilities? I've got an e-mail in to noc@internap but haven't heard back - and if they have a facility down they're probably too busy to reply to a single web hosting customer. I have seen the report from earlier this morning indicating that 111 8th had an issue that's been fixed - but the Internap NOC line (877.843.4662) still indicates that NYM008 is having a power outage. Thanks! -- Jeff Shultz

Re: Flood affecting US east coast communication facilities?
Hi Kauto, Internaps LGA11 DC in NYC was knocked out recently by Sandy. Here's the official statement: Please be advised that Internap's LGA11 facility is experiencing significant flooding in the sub-basement of the 75 Broad Street building as a result of Hurricane Sandy. The flooding has submerged and destroyed the site's diesel pumps and is preventing fuel from being pumped to the generators on the mezzanine level. The available fuel reserves on the mezzanine level are estimated to support customer loads for approximately 5-7 hours. Once this fuel supply has been exhausted the generator will no longer be able to sustain operation and critical customer power loads will be lost. The email was sent a while ago and by now the diesel would have run out. Internap shut down server for customers those that they were contractually obligated to. Currently it seems that the AWS stuff is still up and same for Rackspace. However there have been reports of the US East submarine cables going dark.

NSA and the exchanges
Anyone knows if there's a way to find out how involved NSA monitors 151 front street at Toronto? NSA allegedly monitors data centres in the US, but does it have the same influence at a building sitting in its neighbor's soil? There's something on the web like www.ixmaps.ca that tries to piece it together. but not sure how helpful the information on there really is? feedback welcome.
Re: NSA and the exchanges
If your talking the NSA I doubt anyone would tell you. That being said: it would mean the US gov't breaking Canadian law I suspect. Now in Canada it is quite possible that the Canadian Fed gov't monitors traffic but I would also say no one would tell you because telling you would also be in violation in wiretap laws.

Re: 75th Broad up/down?
Here's a few notes from Internap which has stuff at 75 Broad and 111 8th: Forwarded Message Hurricane Update: Power Restored at LGA9, 111 8th Ave. Update: We have restored all power to the LGA9 site via generator. Phase 12 UPS UPS modules are in bypass and being investigated at this time. We will be moving the UPS units back inline one at a time as they are verified over the coming hours. There is no impact to customer load expected. Phase 3 load is currently on UPS conditioned power supported by generator. All INAP IP service points are operating normally. Our staff is currently working to bring LGA9 Agile customers back up. Forwarded Message At approximately 23:20 local time, the LGA11 facility returned to service via generator power, including critical customers loads. The generators were refuelled and restarted and are currently operating normally, carrying the critical load. Additionally UPS systems have since been brought back online and are now helping to support power onsite. Additional fuel supply is being arranged and there is ample fuel on site at the moment to maintain operation. As noted, power to customer gear has been restored, however building access is still restricted and customers are not yet able to visit the site. Forwarded Message At approximately 05:45 EDT connectivity to Internap's LGA11 datacenter was lost. This loss was caused by 2 other datacenter power failures that provide fiber to LGA11. We are working with the building personnel at both sites to correct the problems. We will provide more updates as information becomes available. Forwarded Message At approximately 23:20 local time, Internap's LGA11 facility returned to service via generator power, including critical customers loads. The generators were refueled and restarted and are currently operating normally, carrying the critical load.

NJ impact
I had to summarize this recently for a news article I was interviewed for, so I figured I forward: -- Of our three datacenters, this is what we saw: Parsippany 1 (OCT) - The worst we saw here was several sub-second power hits. UPS's held without problem, and we did not transfer to generator at all yet. Parsippany 2 (WBR) - Transferred to generator at about 7:55 PM EST Monday as a precautionary measure due to ongoing utility power hits. However, shortly after transfer, utility voltage went to 0 on all phases; around 10p power returned, but abnormally high (seeing about 550 volts on 480 volt bus). We retransferred last night as utility voltage settled down. Cedar Knolls 1 (MMU) - Briefly transferred to generator around 7:10, then back to utility. We then force transferred to generator around 8pm and stayed until this morning. Returned to utility and all systems are normal. We have accommodated many customers (and non-customers) by allowing them to use our conference rooms and some offices, mainly because they lost power at their buildings, lost access to their buildings, or generators ran out of fuel. We literally have card tables setup in hallways and common areas where people sit and use Wifi to conduct business. There has been no service interruption of any sort to any of our datacenter customers, as of this writing. We lost one span of fiber optics between MMU and 165 Halsey, Newark (NWR), network healed in less than 1 second. It was imperceptible. That was early though, Monday afternoon. This has since restored today. We have sales people onsite who are actively taking sales calls, and there is a measurable amount of customers moving equipment into our facilities as I write this. Many are moving equipment from offices with no power and no ETR in sight. We have electricians onsite to help accommodate. The facilities department has been manning all locations around the clock. All sites remain accessible by road. There was never a situation where you could not over the last 48 hours. We have no equipment in 111 8th, so I cannot offer any telemetry there. However, our gear in 60 Hudson St (Tel-X 9th floor) is still online. We saw no interruption at 165 Halsey, except for some very brief utility hits. UPS's held. We are seeing hundreds, if not thousands, of DSL / T1 / T3 / Ethernet customers down - presumably mostly power loss on the CPE. We lost our connection to Covad, presumably they have gear in a building which lost power. These are only just starting to come back. We have seen substantial interruption to the cellular networks; in many cases, ATT Wireless (who NAC uses) is unable to complete a call. In certain areas, there is no signal at all. Where I live, in 07874 (Byram), many roads are impassable and most everyone does not have power. Trees are down everywhere. I heard that a Byram squad car had a tree land on it while responding to a call. Schools are closed, Halloween has been rescheduled according to our governor. My cable is down, cable modem is down, POTS service is out - yet I still have xDSL (loop by Verizon, IP by NAC) and I run on that successfully. I am unable to get any ATT cell service at my house (usually at least three bars). I am on generator at my house, consuming about 2 gal/hour (propane), with a little over 500 gallons left. Gasonline is becoming an issue. As I understand, having talked to our oil supplier, there is 0 refinery capacity in NJ at this time. All gasoline is being imported from PA, DE, MD, etc. Most stations don't have power. Ones that do are generally out of gas. If they have gas, they have mile long lines and are rationing. Diesel is unavailable if you had not pre-arranged for it. Widespread power outages remain. I am running on generator at my house (Generac QT048) on a 1000 gallon tank of propane, have been since Monday about 7pm. It is estimated at least 7 to 10 days before power restoration. I have yet to see one JCPL truck anywhere near where I live. That is all I have. This is the road leading to the Byram Police Dept - I took this yesterday morning: https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/12696_4311181250657_900557870_n.jpg This is typically what Northern NJ looks like: https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/548544_4311185050752_1011136048_n.jpg https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/61115_4317167440308_289655722_n.jpg (not the top of the telephone pole hanging from the wires)

IPv6 Netowrk Device Numbering BP
We're working out our dual stacked IPv4-IPv6 network. One issue that recently has arisen is how to number the management interfaces on the network devices themselves. I have always been kind of partial to the idea of taking advantage IPv6 features and letting hosts set their own addresses with EUI-64 interface numbers. For the management interface on a network device, it's more like a normal host. I'd just as well tell the device its prefix, and let it build the address itself. For IPv6, my opinion is that I'm not even going to try to remember 128-bit addresses. It's not something reasonable to expect humans to do. I'm going to depend on some name-to-number service (DNS or a hosts file), and as far as a computer goes, 2001:db8::80:abff:fe45:6789 is just as easy to remember as, 2001:db8::12:34. The other approach is to assign addresses. To me, that's more of a hold over from IPv4 thinking, but there are legitimate reasons I can think of. It's nice to have the IPv6 address tied to the configuration rather than the hardware. If you need to drop in a replacement device, you copy the configuration and no addresses change. But OTOH, others might consider it a feature that the IP follows the device rather than the role. And the real reason I think people want to do it is that they want to be able to memorize IP addresses of important hosts like these. Another option would be to do both. Assign a fixed address and also let it chose EUI-64. However, I see that leading to confusion. Not sure what good it would do. Is there anything like a standard, best practice for this (yet)? What are other people doing and their reasons? Anyone have operational experience with what works and what does not (and the what does not is probably really of more interest)? -- Crist J. Clark
