Re: do ISPs keep track of end-user IP changes within thier network?

been a while, but seems like lately it's more a question of how long. ISPs
can be in position where they need to, but as things have consolidated,
seems like they'd really like to forget it as soon as they can. If you've
got a specific case in mind, likely best to find a direct contact and get a
response about policy, even if it has to be off-record. The big ones (like
one I likely shouldn't mention by name unless they do as I don't work for
them) definitely do, at least long enough to handle DMCA requests and other
legal obligations.

While I'm also not an attorney, my reading of 18 USC 2703 leads me to
believe that records need only to be preserved for 180 days if a
governmental entity (i.e. law enforcement agency, regulatory body,
prosecutors office, etc) makes a request that such records be preserved. To
the best of my knowledge, there's no statue on the books (at least at a
federal level) which would mandate that a provider keep any records
relating to dynamic IP allocations.

Re: CNAME issue

2013-12-12 Thread David Dowdle

short answer: can't be done

You cannot have a cname and 'other' information for same entry.  As a zone 
requires an SOA record, you cannot have a CNAME for the entire domain 
(theoretically a registrar could do it in .com, but afaik nobody does 
his).


Depending on customer's requirements, can put in a  wildcard  *.abcd.com 
in cname xyz.com


Or can load the same zone file for both abcd.com and xyz.com, so in both, 
maildomain goes to the same place

CWDM question

Hi.

We are doing a fiber link between us and another SP using CWDM.

There is traffic flowing just fine at the 1310 wave, and have recently added a
1471 wave.

On the 1471 wave there are some problems with it. From our perspective, and we
have packet captured this, we are transmitting data to them, but they say they
are not seeing anything. We are receiving from them, and while we show that
packets are leaving our interface to them, they are getting nothing at all.

There are good light levels between the two locations and do not understand
why they are not seeing traffic from us even though we are sending it. Our 
packet
counters show we are transmitting to them and receiving from them.

Is it possible to have RX and TX light and things appear to be ok, but have the
RX on their side fubar in some way that it is not operating correctly in that 
our
traffic is not reaching them?

Thanks.

Are you using fixed optics or tunables?  Are transponders involved for the CWDM 
side then you have “client optics” at 850nm or 1310?  Is there a filter

Fixed optics, there are no transponders, just a passive mux. No filters, though there is a 
pad on our side.
Light levels on our side are good and within spec. I have been trying to find out from the 
SP what theirs
are at presently, but when the circuit was first lit levels were taken and found to be 
within spec on both

ends.

Only 1310 and 1471 in use.

We are 800+km away from the site so its hard to get some hands/eyes there at 
present.

Thanks.





Re: CWDM question

That is whats next. They took down the whole fiber instead of just the 1471 
wave to test
which killed transit...grrr..

They say their tx/rx are within spec.

Next is jumpers and sfp swaps I guess.

If you have a CWDM optical power meter and light source, see if you can measure the

If the two switches can be brought to the same location, you might also want to connect 
them together using short jumpers, but make sure you have a power meter to ensure you 
use the proper attenuators to avoid burning out your optics. This would rule out your 
fiber and mux in case it an issue with an appliance or SFP. I've had CWDM SFPs burn out 
for no apparent reason twice now.

CWDM question

Hi.

We are doing a fiber link between us and another SP using CWDM.

There is traffic flowing just fine at the 1310 wave, and have recently added a
1471 wave.

On the 1471 wave there are some problems with it. From our perspective, and we
have packet captured this, we are transmitting data to them, but they say they
are not seeing anything. We are receiving from them, and while we show that
packets are leaving our interface to them, they are getting nothing at all.

There are good light levels between the two locations and do not understand
why they are not seeing traffic from us even though we are sending it. Our 
packet
counters show we are transmitting to them and receiving from them.

Is it possible to have RX and TX light and things appear to be ok, but have the
RX on their side fubar in some way that it is not operating correctly in that 
our
traffic is not reaching them?

Thanks.
