Which is irrelevent to removing a address block on the basis of a
RIR recording that the block has been reallocated.  A reallocation
already goes through a quarantine period though that may get shorter
as time goes on.

A transfer on the other hand doesn't.

There may be some use in recording whether a address block is
transfered or allocated.  Note I'm not sure if the allocation
date gets updated on a transfer or not.

There may be some use in recording when a address block is 
quarantined.

The Status Reports (PDFs) down the page are statistics, updated quarterly.

At the top of the page is the delegated-extended daily report.

"The file delegated-extended contains a daily updated report of the
distribution of Internet number resources.

The resources reported are:

IPv4 address ranges (IPv4)
IPv6 address ranges (IPv6)
Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs)"

That file is text.

The lines for IPv4 look like:
apnic|AU|ipv4|1.0.0.0|256|20110811|assigned|A9173591|e-stats
apnic|CN|ipv4|1.0.1.0|256|20110414|assigned|A92E1062|e-stats
apnic|CN|ipv4|1.0.2.0|512|20110414|assigned|A92E1062|e-stats

The Readme file explains the fields:
http://www.nro.net/wp-content/uploads/nro-extended-stats-readme5.txt

4th field is start IP
5th field is number of IPs in block
6th field is date of allocation/assignment

I would think that file might be parsed, compared to RBL listings, and
if listing date (or last bad behavior date) < allocation/assignment date
- then remove listing.

2013-09-18 Thread Carlos Kamtha

Quite unfortunate..

These days, when allocated 'new' IPV4 space you really have to do a little 
homework to make sure it 'clean'. 

I would suggest that you run your CIDR block through 
http://multirbl.valli.org/lookup/. 

IF it's mostly clean and not on hardcore lists such as SpamHaus ROKSO, then 
there's hope. 

Whatever lists your netblock is on you will just have to contact thier abuse 
dept. and explain your predicament and
stay on top of it.

Sounds like you are well on your way to doing that.. 

Good luck.

trying to open up the us market by going to the states to enter it is a

It depends on what is being measured.  At TorIX we'll see deviations 
between in/out on our aggregate graph.  As we combine all peer ports to 
form the aggregate graph, any large deviations are almost always due to 
peers who have reached capacity limits on their port (which is not 
always port speed, btw, always include their transport behind the port). 
 Another common reason is the difference in measurement times across 
all ports.

if you host multicast on your unicast peering lan, then this will be
affected by the unicast:multicast ratio and the number of recipient ports.
 Most networks which support multicast will also support multicast pruning,
so in reality this counts for very little.

Most IXPs rely on unicast flooding to determine forwarding paths, which
adds a little to the outbound numbers.  So on these IXPs, outbound
aggregate is usually a tiny amount larger than inbound aggregate.  The
larger the network, the smaller this effect.  And on networks which
precompute forwarding paths, the in and out aggregate figures will be equal
+/- counter entropy.

That sounds like a great idea!  We should make it an electronic

online.  And it should show the contact info of the new owner and the date

Re: The block message is 521 DNSRBL: Blocked for abuse

2013-09-18 Thread John LeCoque
I would say the first step is to find an immediate workaround for your end
users - maybe bring up a VM on AWS or some other cloud provider to use as
an SMTP relay while you work out the blacklist issue. If you run into
blacklist issues after that, you may want to take a very close look at your
outbound mailflow to make sure your organization isn't sending out messages
that could be categorized as spam.

Getting IPs removed from a provider blacklist can be time consuming. You
may be lucky enough to reach a clueful contact at the providers you
mentioned on this list - but if you don't, you will have to navigate the
removal process with each provider that has blacklisted you.

My experience in the past is that it can take a good amount of time for ATT to 
remove you from their black list.  It's been as short as 24 - 48 hours and as 
long as a couple weeks and required follow up contact with support.  They're a 
big company and they get a lot of requests.  I've not dealt with Network 
Solutions or their RBL list as far as how to get whitelisted.  But it sounds 
like they manage it in a way where the recipient has to accept email from you.  
It's probably not practical but can you contact the recipients on Network 
Solutions via another method to have them whitelist you?

Serious question, at an IXP shouldn't IN = OUT nearly perfectly?

Most exchanges do everything possible to eliminate broadcast packets, and they 
don't allow multicast on the unicast VLAN's.  So properly behaved you have a 
bunch of routers speaking unicast to each other.  The only way to get a 
difference is if there is packet loss, IN - loss = OUT.

Well, there are a bunch of different concepts being discussed.  The primary one 
is localization of routing, which isn't just possible, it's best-practice, and 
something Brazil has been doing an excellent job of already for quite a few 
years.  If you look at https://pch.net/applications/ixpdir/summary/ you'll see 
that they've got 23 active exchanges, which puts them second in the world after 
the U.S., with 77% annualized growth, compared to 10% in the U.S.  If you look 
at the Brazil section of https://pch.net/ixpdir you'll see that almost all of 
that growth has been occurring since they made it an explicit policy goal in 
2008, and began aggressively implementing IXP best-practices.

At a governance level, Brazil is divided.  The CGI, which decides and 
implements domestic Internet policy, is the agency responsible for all this 
growth and best-practices-following.  As such, they've been largely aligned 
with OECD-country and Internet interests.  The Brazilian federal government, on 
the other hand, sets foreign policy, interacts with the ITU, et cetera.  And so 
although it has no appreciable influence over what happens _within_ the 
country, it's what's seen by other national governments in diplomatic circles.  
In Internet governance, Brazil tends toward this Brazil-India-South Africa 
axis, which doesn't particularly align with the Internet or OECD countries, 
unless by accident.  This is the area that Internet folks are most worried 
about, since those three countries are second-tier thought-leaders in the ITU, 
and can swing a lot of developing-country votes in their respective regions.  
So Brazil is, in many ways, the U.S.' opposite: they do the right thing 
domestically, but say the wrong thing internationally.
