There is nothing to summarize away from global BGP table, if you have number
showing less, it's probably counter bug or misinterpretation.
Global BGP table, single BGP feed, will take same amount of RIB and FIB.

You can see your FIB use in 'show plat hard capa pfc':

#show platform hardware capacity pfc 
 Module  FIB TCAM usage: TotalUsed 
%Used
   2 72 bits (IPv4, MPLS, EoM)  884736  712819

144 bits (IP mcast, IPv6)   8192019235 
23%


You're probably bit better off than I am :)

Perfectly happy 6509, many paths, only one full table in the FIB:

NANOG 62 and a new tool for presentation submissions

2014-06-10 Thread Eric Oosting
Today we began an upgrade to the site/tool located at pc.nanog.org, known
as the pc tool, which is designed to allow the community to propose talks
for the next NANOG. The new site has some of the latest fads in web 2.0 web
design and buzzwords, for instance we've decided to use a programming
language with silent "d" in the name. Don't worry, it's somewhere short of
having tag clouds.

We hope you like it. Or at least, we hope not too many of you despise it.

Please hold of on any talk submissions for a few days while we migrate the
data from the old tool to the new. The NANOG Program Committee will issue
the NANOG61 call for presentations shortly, marking the availability of the
new tool.

Thanks,

I'm not sure you're reading that correctly.
164817+330796 = 495613

That is, the BGP routing table size is the
union of the "Networks" and the "Subnets";
it's not magically doing any summarization
for  you.

A couple of major service providers today permit 
announcements of any length, provided they are registered in 
an IRR that they use to build filters.

Of course, there are no guarantees that prefixes typically 
longer than general industry practice permits will see the 
light of day beyond their network.

On the couple Cisco platforms I have available with full tables, Cisco

One example from a non-transit AS:

IP routing table maximum-paths is 32

(bytes)

connected   0   10  0 600 1800

internal 579920123680
Total   170617  330808  0 29737560109336360



and the FIB
contains only the "best path" entries from the RIB, wouldn't the FIB be
at or below 300k?

a live example of rib size from a router with two transit providers.

The RIB counts and memory used by the RIB seem to be nearly identical 
between a Cisco router with 3 full BGP feeds and another with 1 BGP 
feed. The differences seem to lie in the memory used by BGP for prefix 
tracking. If your router has multiple routing tables, or your installing 
multiple routes for the same prefix in the RIB, then I can understand 
why your RIB will be larger. These are nice features, but certainly not 
a requirement for everyone.

Because you need to do your own summarization or ask your upstreams
to do it for you. Until then, most of transit accepts loosely
prefixes in exact length but also longer (i.e. /24 but also both /25s).

You’ll see more and more deaggregation with the rise of smaller
entities fighting for chance to do some traffic engineering, so be
prepared to constant rise of prefixes overall.

many people deaggregate their address space purposely, including large
networks like Google, Akamai, Netflix etc. Full list for analysis like
"who does that" is available at http://www.cidr-report.org/as2.0/aggr.html

These days also some people split their allocated aggregatable space
(PA) with different routing policies for each subnet, substituting old
PI addresses (at least in RIPE region). Technically nothing blocks this
and politically - it's up to each, what accepts. But some unreachable
subnet means problems with customers...

There's no summarization in hardware/software from RIB to FIB. From the
vendor perspective, they would like to sell you new hardware with larger
TCAMs/etc, of course... :-)

With regards,
Daniel

I haven't seen anyone bring up this point yet, but I feel like I'm

I receive a full BGP table from several providers. They send me ~490k 
*prefixes* each. However, my router shows ~332k *subnets* in the routing 
table. As I understand it, the BGP table contains duplicate information 
(for example a supernet is announced as well as all subnets within that 
supernet) or excess information (prefix is announced as two /17's 
instead of a single /16) and can otherwise be summarized to save space 
in the RIB.


It appears to me that the weekly CIDR report shows similar numbers:

Hi all,

I am wondering if maybe we should make some kind of concerted effort to remind 
folks about the IPv4 routing table inching closer and closer to the 512K route 
mark.

We are at about 94/95% right now of 512K.

For most of us, the 512K route mark is arbitrary but for a lot of folks who may 
still be running 6500/7600 or other routers which are by default configured to 
crash and burn after 512K routes; it may be a valuable public service.

Even if you don't have this scenario in your network today; chances are you 
connect to someone who connects to someone who connects to someone (etc...) 
that does.

In case anyone wants to check on a 6500, you can run:  show platform hardware 
capacity pfc and then look under L3 Forwarding Resources.

Just something to think about before it becomes a story the community talks 
about for the next decade.

This brings up a good point which came to mind recently.

What process(es) do folks use for cases where an address block and/or ASN
seems no longer have whois info associated (eg. where authorization to use
may have been revoked)?
Do the RIRs have a process for notifying the community or at least the
upstream providers that something has changed?

End of IPv4 addresses in LAC region

2014-06-10 Thread Rubens Kuhl
It has been just announced in LAC network operator mailing lists that the
LAC region just crossed the /10 boundary, triggering exhaustion policies
that now only allow assignments of /22 IP address blocks, either for
initial assignments or additional requests.

Next in line, ARIN region. Is February 2015 still the most likely guess ?

I mean that demand for IPv4 addresses will continue to foreseeable future, if
you are offering content, and there is difference between reach for IPv6 and
IPv4+IPv6, you're going to want to acquire some IPv4 addresses to avoid giving
your competition an unfair advantage.
How will this reflect to price, you imply price of IPv4 address is going to
decrease, I expect it's not reached peak yet, due to still having RIR
availability which sets natural limit to price.

IPv4 addresses have little commercial value anymore and IPv6 is basically free. 
 The only people who still haven’t realised don’t have enough money to spend on 
IPv4 to keep themselves alive for another decade.

Ah.  I had to ³no mls cef max ip² and ³no mls def max mpls² for it to
share.  They were previously adjusted separately.

:)

Thanks.

On the sup 720 they become unshared if you carve v4 away from the default 
separately, that is why I carve the other two instead.

On the RSP720-10GE at least, it seems that IPv4 and MPLS are not shared.
Am I correct or am I missing something?

FIB TCAM maximum routes :
===
Current :-
---
 IPv4- 768k
 MPLS- 64k
 IPv6 + IP Multicast - 96k (default)

 Subject: Getting pretty close to default IPv4 route maximum for
 6500/7600routers.

 Hi all,

 I am wondering if maybe we should make some kind of concerted effort
 to remind folks about the IPv4 routing table inching closer and
 closer to the 512K route mark.

 We are at about 94/95% right now of 512K.

 For most of us, the 512K route mark is arbitrary but for a lot of
 folks who may still be running 6500/7600 or other routers which are
 by default configured to crash and burn after 512K routes; it may be
 a valuable public service.

 Even if you don't have this scenario in your network today; chances
 are you connect to someone who connects to someone who connects to
 someone
 (etc...) that does.

 In case anyone wants to check on a 6500, you can run:  show platform
 hardware capacity pfc and then look under L3 Forwarding Resources.

 Just something to think about before it becomes a story the
 community talks about for the next decade.

 -Drew
