Re: BGP attributes through IGP

iBGP over GRE?

 so this scenario was a much more scaled down version of the actual
 topology.  Basically I have a gap of routers that I don't manage or have
 access to in between mine running eBGP.  We are collecting some metrics and
 doing monitoring on the AS-PATH of the routes received, among other
 attributes, for both ends so losing some of this information is a problem.
  Again, I know the right answer here is to run iBGP across the IGP and I am
 fighting that fight but it got me looking for alternative solutions and
 figured I would see if anyone else ever had to come up with a creative
 solution before.

  I don't think JunOS supports this.
 
  It's bit of hack at any rate. It's not transporting AS_PATH, it's
  transporting
  single 16b ASN.
  It's essentially abusing (some what well-defined and interoperable abuse)
  32b
  tag field for this purpose.
 
  Maybe you could try to do some of this manually, set some tags, which
  trigger
  'set then origin x', as-path-expand/prepend might be more challenging.
  Recommendation for solution might be easier with rationale why you need
 to
  transport origin+aspath over IGP.

Re: What routers do folks use these days?

+1 for Brocade MLXe.  Good Price. Good stuff.  Good TAC.

 Check the Brocade MLXe series. We (Init7 / AS13030) are using them and
 the previous XMR series for years and are happy with it. CLI is
 Cisco-look-and-feel, the software tree has a clear structure (unlike
 Cisco with hundreds of versions) and the TAC is willing to ssh into your
 gear to assist.

Looking for MX clue at cable.comcast.net

When I try to us the automated form to unblock my server's IP I get:

After investigating the issue, we have found that the IP you provided

We need the IP address currently blocked to further investigate this

Correction:  It's cable.comcast.com (not .net) and it turns out that
that is the domain used by comcast employees not customers.  our mail
gets delivered to comcast customers just fine, just not to comcast
employees.

I have to say that the tier 1 person I talked to was fairly clueful
regarding possible issues delivering to comcast customers, but she
didn't have any knowledge about the employee domain.

If postmas...@cable.comcast.com sees this, please give me a call:
435.636.0069.  I'd like to get this resolved ASAP.

Thanks,
Elliot

DNS DoS ???

2011-07-29 Thread Elliot Finley
my DNS servers were getting slow so I blocked recursive queries for
all but my own network.

Then I was getting so many of these:

ns2 named[5056]: client 78.159.111.190#25345: query (cache)
'isc.org/ANY/IN' denied

that is was still slowing things down.  I've since written a script to
watch the log and throw these into the box local firewall.  If I
expire the entries after 24 hours then I accumulate about 10200 unique
IPs.  If I expire after 48 hours, then it's just over 2 unique
IPs.

Is anyone else seeing this?

Why?
