Just as an FYI, it appears the pfsinoz -at- gmail.com address given in the 
Weekly Global Routing Table Report has sended up on the Spamhaus HBL list.

You might want to fix this to ensure visibility of the reports are maintained. 
:)


Sigh, yes, and the role account email address that posts the weekly 
report too. :-(


I'm open to ideas what to do next. Or just stop posting the routing 
report - Geoff has long since stopped posting the CIDR Report (it only 
goes to APOPS list in AsiaPac now).

Re: Weekly Routing Table Report

[Philip Smith]

It doesn't bode well with deaggregation in IPv6 going down to the /48 in
places I see it happen. A large chunk of the /48s out there are from
/32s. If that carries on, we'll have to be more afraid then I remember
us being at 30k IPv4 prefixes, 100k IPv4 prefixes, etc. :-(

Actually when I started doing this back in early 1999, it was to
supplement with a regional view of what Tony Bates was producing in the
CIDR Report. Sloppy code on my part back then as we didn't have "too
many prefixes". Didn't think I'd be doing this still, and have had to
sort the code many times since too. :-)

Re: Weekly Routing Table Report

[Philip Smith]

Hello Brough,

Very well spotted!! :-)

I finally fixed a problem in my analysis programme which was miscounting
the extended range of 32-bit ASNs (those from 65536 and above). It
wasn't counting them at all in fact, something spotted by one of our
industry colleagues a couple of months back. So the jump is caused by that.

Misery for me now is I have to go back through a few years of daily
reports and figure out when I made the change to cause the breakage. And
rerun everything (sigh).

The other bonus of the fix is that I'm dealing with 32-bit ASNs properly
now - I'm catching the 65536 to 131071 range as bogons, and also
catching any origin ASNs from above 458752 as bogons too.

Thanks!

Yes. :-(

Seems like the dump from the collector happened just after a BGP reset
(or something). I'm checking that now, or whether something else has
broken.

The first round of paper acceptances closes at the end of today, and
submissions received between tomorrow and 12th August will be reviewed
on a first come first served basis.

Please submit your proposal now to avoid disappointment:
http://conference.apnic.net/36/program.

And if you are planning to come to Xi'an, once you have submitted your
presentation proposal, please register for the conference
(http://conference.apnic.net/36/register) and book your hotel room now

APRICOT 2013 in Singapore

[Philip Smith]

Hi everyone,

Just to let you know that the call for papers for APRICOT 2013 (in
Singapore next February) opened a few days ago.

Rather than posting the whole cfp here, you can see it via the programme
page on the APRICOT website - www.apricot2013.net/program.

NANOG and APRICOT are the network operations conferences for adjacent
regions - and indeed both regions have considerable overlap and
interests in common.

Please give some thought to presenting something topical at APRICOT -
the Programme Committee would love to hear from you. You can submit your
proposal via http://papers.apricot.net.

Thanks!

Re: Weekly Routing Table Report

[Philip Smith]

Yup, the CIDR Report gets its feed in Australia...

I get my BGP feed from APNIC's router in Japan - and at the time it
grabbed the dump, the BGP table stopped at 190.55.80.0/21. Not sure
what's going on, looks like the ssh session just hung, but then
terminated normally - so the script's checking for hung sessions or
early disconnects didn't catch it.

Sorry folks...

The report is as good as what is in the RIR allocation databases, as I
grab those from the RIR public listings about 2 hours before the report
is run. So if it was allocated, it wasn't listed in the file that I pick
up. I'll investigate why.

It is as accurate as the data I have access to. ;-) But I'd be delighted

Speaking slots at APRICOT 2010 still available

[Philip Smith]

Hi everyone,

For those folks who may be going to NANOG 48 in Austin at the end of
February, how about extending that trip a little and heading over to
Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia for APRICOT which conveniently takes place the
following week. :-)

We still have a few speaking slots available for the main conference
(which runs from Monday 1st to Thursday 4th March). If you have a
presentation that you think might be of interest to the network
operators in the Asia & Pacific region, the Program Committee would be
delighted to hear from you.

There is more info in the CfP:
http://www.apricot2010.net/contribute/call-for-papers, but to submit a
presentation proposal simply go to
http://submission.apricot.net/paper/user/index.php?event=22 to submit
title, abstract and your draft slides.

Many thanks for reading, now back to regular programming... :-)

Several have replied saying "don't ever do this". The I in IGP stands
for "interior" - which means "inside" your network, which does not mean
"outside" your network. For the latter, we have BGP - if BGP for some
reason seems too hard, check out the NANOG tutorials on the subject.

Good luck!

Theories include:

- trying to make a /20 announcement more important than a component /24
by prepending the /24 out of sight (i'm not joking, some people really
believe this!!)

- trying to over-ride policy that their upstream provider has applied
(e.g. my prepended /20 is a backup to my main /20 announcement but my
upstream on the backup path is local pref-ing high to make them look
more "peerable")

There are bound to be other reasons... :-)

[NANOG-announce] Call for volunteers for the NANOG PC

[Philip Smith]

Hi everyone,

There are going to be a few announcements over the next few days
regarding all things NANOG, so please bear with us!

Thanks to all who volunteered for the Steering Committee - the list of
candidates to join the three continuing Steering Committee members is at
http://www.nanog.org/governance/elections/2008elections/2008sc_candidates.php.
We will be holding elections during NANOG 44 in LA to determine who will
join the Steering Committee.

Now to the Program Committee! Here is your chance to help shape the
future of the NANOG program content.


NANOG Program Committee

The NANOG Program Committee is a group of sixteen individuals from the
NANOG community who together are responsible for the solicitation and
selection of material for NANOG meeting Programs.

A new NANOG Program Committee will be selected by the NANOG Steering
Committee after the Steering Committee election in October. Eight
positions are to be filled, and the Steering Committee is now seeking
nominations.

Per the NANOG charter (6.2.1), eligible candidates are individuals who
have attended at least one NANOG meeting in the past 12 months (i.e. one
or more of NANOG 42, NANOG 43 or NANOG 44). Broad technical knowledge of
Internet operations and familiarity with NANOG meetings are useful
attributes. Having constructive opinions and ideas about how NANOG
meetings might be improved is of high value.

If you are interested in nominating someone else or yourself, please
send a brief note to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The note should include the
nominee's contact details, and a brief description of why (in your
opinion) the individual concerned would be a good addition to the
Program Committee.

The Steering Committee will accept nominations received before the
conclusion of NANOG 44 on October 14.

If you would like to see a list of current nominations, please look at
http://www.nanog.org/governance/elections/2008elections/2008pc_candidates.php.


Many thanks, and hope to hear from you soon!!

[NANOG-announce] Call for Nominations for NANOG Steering Committee 2008/9

[Philip Smith]

Hello everyone,

Elections for three of the six elected positions on the NANOG Steering 
Committee will be held in October 2008. The currently-serving Steering 
Committee members whose terms are expiring are Joe Provo, Randy Bush and 
Philip Smith. Randy and Philip have also served two consecutive terms 
so, as per the charter, they cannot be considered for re-election until 
October 2009.

The NANOG Steering Committee works closely with Merit to promote, 
support and improve NANOG. The Steering Committee is responsible for the 
selection of the Program Committee and the Mailing List Committee, and 
is the community's instrument for ensuring that NANOG as an organisation 
remains open, relevant and useful.

If you care about NANOG as a forum, and think you would like to take a 
turn at volunteering your time to help make it better, please consider 
either volunteering yourself or nominating someone else.

For more information about the role of the Steering Committee, or to 
find out more about what's involved in being an Steering Committee 
member, please consult the NANOG charter or contact someone who is 
already serving and ask them directly.

   http://www.nanog.org/charter.html
   http://www.nanog.org/sc.current.html

HOW TO NOMINATE SOMEONE

You may nominate someone else, or yourself. There is no limit to the 
number of nominations that may be submitted by a single person. 
Individual nominees will be contacted directly to confirm that they are 
willing to accept the nomination, and so that they can supply a 
biography for the NANOG web page.

To submit a nomination, send the nominee's full name and contact details 
to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The candidates will be given an opportunity to make brief comments 
and/or accept questions from the community at the NANOG44 Community 
Meeting, Sunday, October 12th, beginning at 5:30 PM, PDT.

nanog / nanog-announce subs (was Re: Announce list: Re: Hughes Network)

[Philip Smith]

Everyone,

The main nanog list is subscribed to nanog-announce. So everything sent 
to nanog-announce should appear on the nanog list too.


If folks choose to unsubscribe from the nanog list, they will need to 
subscribe to nanog-announce to carry on seeing announcements.


Hope this clarifies at least this piece for everyone.

Yes it seems as though my "subject tags" e-mail sent around 11pm UTC/GMT 
on Monday didn't get to some folks on the main list; I'll try and find 
out what happened there.

James R. Cutler said the following on 23/5/08 13:16:
The announcement was made to nanog-announce, but not to nanog. I would 
expect that there are scads more readers of nanog than of nanog announce.
 
For some, that could cause unexpected results, especially with the 24 
hour notice.


Corroborative detail below. (Oops, top posting)

Regards.

Below is the full email, with headers, from Monday.  Hopefully it will
put this issue to rest but somehow I doubt that. ;-)

[NANOG] [NANOG-announce] Call for Volunteers for the NANOG Mailing List Committee

[Philip Smith]

Hello everyone,

The NANOG Mailing List Committee is a group of individuals from the 
NANOG community who collectively are responsible for ensuring the 
functioning of the NANOG mailing list as an effective resource for the 
operations community.

The Steering Committee would like to hear from people who are interested 
in joining the team, volunteering their time and energy to help make the 
NANOG mailing list better.

We are looking for people who care about the NANOG mailing list, who are 
keen readers of the list, and who have a thorough understanding of NANOG 
culture. If this sounds like you, we would like to encourage you to 
volunteer to serve on the committee.

As per 7.1.2 of the Charter, the Mailing List Committee must have a 
minimum of four members. Therefore four positions are available, two 
positions with terms up for renewal at the end of NANOG 44 in October 
2008, and two positions with terms up for renewal at the end of NANOG 47 
in October 2009.

To volunteer, please send your expression of interest to 
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> containing a brief summary of how you think the 
NANOG list could be better, how you think you could help make a 
difference, and which term length you'd like to serve. The deadline for 
responses is by the end of 23rd May 2008, and we plan to select the new 
Mailing List Committee by the end of the following week.


Many thanks!

[NANOG] [NANOG-announce] Mail List Committee announcement

[Philip Smith]

Dear all,

The Steering Committee has unanimously agreed to start afresh with the 
composition of the Mail List Committee. There has been a long term, and 
ongoing, conflict within the MLC that had made it essentially 
dysfunctional. The SC would be derelict in our duty to allow this to 
continue any longer.

The Merit representative on the MLC, Sue Joiner, will continue on the 
team, with Steve Feldman (the SC rep to the MLC) providing interim 
support pending appointment of the new MLC.

The call for volunteers for the new MLC will be sent out tomorrow, 
Wednesday 14th, with the new MLC being appointed by Friday 30th.

Best wishes,

philip
