 also probably your relationships to akamai and level3

Probably want to add Limelight to that list as well (do Netflix even use Akamai 
these days?)

Re: Abuse@ contacts

2010-12-07 Thread Shaun Ewing

From: Gavin Pearce gavin.pea...@3seven9.com

How many of you (honestly) actively manage and respond to abuse@ contact
details listed in WHOIS? Or have had any luck with abuse@ contacts in
the past? Who's good and who isn't?


We monitor our abuse queues, but when the email is just a stock standard
incident (eg: spam or phishing) we don't actually reply to the emails
unless more information is required.

As mentioned previously, a lot of the traffic in abuse queues is automated
and you might have anywhere up to 100 emails for a single incident. In
these cases, we merge the messages into one ticket, handle the case and
close it off.

The nature of our business (hosting) means that we do get a decent amount
of abuse traffic - ranging from compromised out of date CMSs used to send
spam or host phishing sites right through to fraudulent accounts again
used to send spam.

Rather than hire additional staff to respond to the each abuse email
individually we prefer to invest in systems to stop the abuse in the first
place. For example, all outbound email from our shared hosting network is
checked for spam/viruses and any unusual traffic (such as a spike from a
customer who typically only sends a few messages a day) is flagged.

Same.

Re: Cable Colors

And there you have it. Finding the group of backbone cables (as an example)
out of a bundle of cables is much easier when they're a different colour.

What colours we use depends on what area of the network we're in.

For example (for the DC):

- Access layer (ie: to servers): Blue
- Management network (KVM, power, etc): Green
- Private network (internal only): Black
- Inter-rack links (don't touch): yellow
- Network uplinks (really don't touch): red
