It depends how you define it. If you mean the number of bits in the

then it is not the same.

Definate +1 to that.

I look at how my father's job has changed in his 49+ years; he's gone
from a hardware-in-the-loop simulator that took a room full of analog
computer (because digital computers weren't fast enough) to where
computers are small and powerful enough that they looked at running a
sim in real-time on the flying vehicle (as additional guidance
feedback).

I dont't think anyone can realistically say what the Internet will look
like 10 years from now, much less 50.  Pundits like to guess, but they
usually miss their "next year" predictions anyway. :-)

Well, many/most have multiple channels in their digital stream, and they
have to reencode to lower bitrates to fit them all in (different
stations do better or worse jobs at this).  Only one signal here just
carries one channel.

Actual IPv6 test day issue

2011-06-12 Thread Chris Adams
So I found out I had an actual end-user issue related to IPv6 test day.
My mother couldn't get to our webmail with her B&N Nook Color (based on
Android 2.3).  I went over and couldn't connect with my T-Mobile G2
(Android 2.2) either.  Their connection is via DSL and does not have
IPv6 configured, but they do have a D-Link DIR-825 wireless router (just
running as a wireless bridge with DHCP disabled).  The DIR-825 was
running an older code, 2.02NA, which was "IPv6 ready"; it had router
advertisements enabled (there was no config option to disable them).

The problem was that while HTTP would work on Android, HTTPS would not
(you'd just get the standard "page not available" error).  It appears
that there is a bug in Android that keeps it from falling back to IPv4
for HTTPS connections.  I don't know if that's somebody's idea of an
extra level of "security" or what.

I upgraded the DIR-825 to 2.05NA, which doesn't have RA always enabled,
and everything works now (on IPv4 only).

I haven't had a chance to set up a more detailed test; I just figured
I'd throw it out there to see if anybody else saw such.

Well, the OTA providers are doing it to the network feeds first, so I
don't see focusing on the cable providers doing it to the OTA providers
as the sole source of quality issues.  The OTA providers also reencode
to add bugs, weather/breaking news crawls, etc., and they don't always
do a good job of that before feeding the signal to the statmuxer.

The top profile for Blu-Ray is 36 megabits per second, and that is
not used on most titles.  Over-the-air HDTV is 19 megabits or less.
Cable HD channels are often only 12-15 megabits per second.  OTA and
cable HD is typically MPEG2, and MPEG4 can reach similar quality in half
the bandwidth, which means TV quality HD can be 6-10 megabits per
second.

When BellSouth switched their DSL from PVC-per-customer to PPPoE, it was
set up with the ability for a single line to be "subscribed" to multiple
providers.  The domain in the username used for PPPoE authentication was
to determine to which provider the session was connected.

I don't know if that capability was ever used (or even actually
available).

For the most part, it probably isn't, especially now.  Telco front-line
support doesn't even know what a BRI is anymore.  While POTS lines are
largely flat-rate for local access in the US, many telcos put per-minute
charges on ISDN BRIs (and that's per-channel-minute, so 128k runs mintes
at 2x wall clock time), so the "power users" that wanted
higher-than-dialup speeds didn't move to ISDN very fast (because they
also wanted to be on line nearly 24x7).

Also, the telcos generally made getting a BRI difficult to impossible.
An early string of Dilbert cartoons covered Dilbert's attempts to get
ISDN at his house, and IIRC they were based on Scott Adams' real-life
attempts (and this was either when or shortly after he worked for the
phone company).

I live in Huntsville, AL, and we supposedly were one of the first cities
in BellSouth territory (if not the US) to have ISDN available at
essentially every address.  After a while, it usually wasn't too painful
to get a BRI turned up, as long as you didn't want any special configs
(such as hunting); when I got mine, it pretty much "just worked".
However, the billing was confusing at best; IIRC in the several years I
had ISDN service, my bill was never exactly the same amount two
consecutive months (and I never had any usage charges, so it wasn't
because of that).

I'd go so far as to say "user failure".  If I wanted cable TV
(especially if I needed it at home as part of my job), I wouldn't
buy/rent/lease/whatever a home without checking that cable TV is
available at that location.  I live in a city with two cable providers,
each of which covers the "whole" city, yet there are pockets where one
(or even both) don't provide service.

Before I bought my house, I made sure I could get my preferred Internet
service at my house.

There are definately things wrong with the state of last-mile Internet
access in the US, but moving somewhere without checking is IMHO your own
fault.

I had to ask this here a while back, so I can now share. :-)

IPv6 addresses are written as 8 16-bit chunk separated by colons
(optionally with the longest consecutive set of :0 sections replaced
with ::).  A /112 means the prefix is 7 of the 8 chunks, which means you
can use ::1 and ::2 for every connection.

Of course, just because you allocate a /112 (or shorter) in your
database doesn't mean you have to use it.  You could also allocate a
/112 for a point-to-point link and use a /127 (e.g. addresses ::a and
::b).

Hi Nick,

  They issued a /112 for our interface with a separate BGP session. (In

  No real issues with kicking things off (** from the technical side

That day is coming through US force as "Operation Gun Runner" from the
ATF allowed Mexican drug cartel straw purchasers to come in, purchase
5 or so AK-47 rifles, and when the gun store owner had suspicions
about not selling it - the ATF told the owner to "let the guns walk"
so the group could track down the weapons.

Unfortunately, those weapons were used to kill a DEA agent in Mexico
and a Border Patrol agent who was only armed with bean bag rounds in
his shotgun then died trying to cycle out those rounds to put in live
rounds.

Also with al-CIAda patsy Adam Gahdan inaccurately reporting in his
latest video to other jihadists about purchasing "automatic weapons"
from gun shows, I believe the ball is rolling for everyone in the
United States to be disarmed through force by new legislation to
outlaw weapons. I do not think the average gun owner would ever disarm
because the gun culture in our country is so deep and passionate in
any freedom loving citizen's blood.

The Second Amendment, in my opinion and most gun owners agree with,
was put in the Bill of Rights for the average citizen to remove
tyrants if the process of democracy does not work.

I'm curious: how does this have any problem with any particular NAT

from the local LAN, so what happens outside your house (e.g. LSN)
shouldn't matter.

Re: GoDaddy abuse contact

2011-05-16 Thread Chris
The best abuse contact response I ever got was an under 3 hour reply
to a lesser known domain provider who revoked the domain for the
Facebook scam. It was hilarious and I don't think even GoDaddy
responded within 3 days or so.

A part of me wants to say we should look out for people while another
part wants to chalk it up to survival of the fittest. I just looked,
it's still up and running.

One thing about using a 2-post rack for servers that can be a problem is
that most 2-post racks I've seen have tapped holes, ready for screws,
and some server rails (such as Dell) pretty much require square hole or
round hole racks instead.  You can get third-party server rails that
will work with a tapped hole rack, but that's an extra expense (and
irritation).

How does this affect peering, when some providers want bandwidth ratios
in a certain range?

I can also see how this affects the ISPs providing bandwidth to the
content providers.  In our colo for example, we rate-limit customers to
the paid-for bandwidth at the colo port.  With multicast however, they
could use significantly more bandwidth, because every router in our
network could potentially send the stream to many ports.

We had a TV in the office then, but now we don't.  The other big news
event of the week, the tornadoes in the south (especially here in
Alabama), meant we were filling up our office bandwidth much of the day
Wednesday, watching the local weathermen to find out if we (or our
family and friends) were next.  This was an exceedingly unusual event in
terms of magnitude, but the watching to see where the tornadoes go part
is fairly regular around here this time of year.  Every time there is a
severe weather outbreak, we see our bandwidth usage go up significantly
(especially when it is during the business day).

As an admin at a small ISP, I'll admit we don't have multicast set up in
our network, in part because every time I've looked, I just end up
confused.  Kind of like IPv6 was for a long time, except IPv6 has more
attention and so more people writing better (easier to understand) info.

Of course, we provide DSL via PPPoE (wholesaler, so we don't have a
choice in the setup), so there isn't much we can do to help with that
level.  That's where we could gain the most of course; we sometimes see
nearly double the DSL traffic for big events (not for the wedding
though, since most of our customers don't have electricity).  The "last
mile" is usually the bottleneck, but that's the hardest nut to crack.

Chris,

With address exhaustion and deaggregation, the table is only going to
get bigger so choosing anything now that can only handle anything
south of 1M routes is not a wise investment.

Several posters have recommended ASR1002 and MX80. I use both of these
platforms in my environment and have been quite pleased with both.

ARA100x. Cisco has lower/cheaper options here including a 1RU device.
I don't have the specs handy, but these are lacking in scalability
that you will most likely need. I believe the forwarding cap is 2.5G.
With the ASR1002, you can start up with the 5G forwarding board.

The MX80. There are several models/bundles. A good choice for you may
be the MX80-5G. Incidentally, the "5G" does not mean 5gig. It ships
with a 20 port ge MIC that will do line rate. The other MIC and the
on-board 4X 10GE are disabled. As previously mentioned, it doesn't use
TCAM so your V4, V6 routes don't share finite resources with each
other or MAC entires, etc. If you're familiar with the benefits if
JUNOS - once you've used it for awhile - it's hard to go back.

If your environment is rapidly growing, stay away from low CAM
limits,anything that's runs in software, (C7200, C7330, J6350), and
make the jump to line-rate hardware devices.

Greetings,

   I am researching possible replacements for our Internet edge routers, and 
wanted to see what people could recommend for a smaller chassis or fixed router 
that can handle current IPv4 routes and transition into IPv6.  Currently we 
have Brocade NetIron 4802s pulling full IPv4 routes plus a default route.  I've 
looked at Extreme, Brocade, Cisco, and a few others.  Most range from 256k - 
500k IPv4 and 4k - 16k IPv6 routes when CAM space is allocated for both.  The 
only exception I've found so far is the Cisco ASR 1002, which can do 125k v6 
along with 500k v4 routes at once.  I'm curious if any other vendors have 
comparable products.

My concern is trying to find a router (within our budget) that has room for 
growth in the IPv6 routing space.  When compared to the live table sizes that

Internet Edge Router replacement - IPv6 route table size considerations

2011-03-08 Thread Chris Enger
Greetings,

I am researching possible replacements for our Internet edge routers, and 
wanted to see what people could recommend for a smaller chassis or fixed router 
that can handle current IPv4 routes and transition into IPv6.  Currently we 
have Brocade NetIron 4802s pulling full IPv4 routes plus a default route.  I've 
looked at Extreme, Brocade, Cisco, and a few others.  Most range from 256k - 
500k IPv4 and 4k - 16k IPv6 routes when CAM space is allocated for both.  The 
only exception I've found so far is the Cisco ASR 1002, which can do 125k v6 
along with 500k v4 routes at once.  I'm curious if any other vendors have 
comparable products.

My concern is trying to find a router (within our budget) that has room for 
growth in the IPv6 routing space.  When compared to the live table sizes that 
the CIDR report and routeviews show, some can't handle current routing tables, 
let alone years of growth.  BGP tweaks may keep us going but I can't see how 
16k or fewer IPv6 routes on a router is going to be viable a few years from now.

Thank you,
Chris Enger

I just re-read the filename, abstract and introduction, and I disagree
that any of those say that the problems are specific to NAT444. They
all do state that these problems are present in NAT444, but not that
it's the only technology/scenario/configuration where you might find
them.

More importantly, I am unsure the point of this argument. Are you
trying to say that the items listed as broken in the draft are not
actually broken? Because in my experience they are. IMHO, the fact
that they are also broken in other (similar) scenarios is not evidence
that they are not broken in this one. On the contrary, this scenario
seems to be evidence to the brokenness in the others (until we get a
chance to test and document them all - are you volunteering? ;).

BGP Failover Question

2011-02-21 Thread Chris Wallace
I am looking for some help with an issue we recently had with one of our BGP 
peers recently.  I currently have two DIA providers each terminated into their 
own edge router and I am doing iBGP to exchange routes between the two edge 
routers.  Last week Provider A made a policy change "somewhere" in their 
network in the middle of the day causing traffic to stop routing.  Of course 
this connection happens to be the preferred route for the majority of our 
inbound and outbound traffic.  I never saw our physical link go down and never 
saw our peer drop therefore BGP did not stop advertising routes, this caused 
most of our customers traffic to go nowhere.  In order to fix the issue I had 
to manually shutdown the peer till Provider A confirmed the change they made 
had been reverted.  This isn't the first time we have seen this issue with our 
various providers, how can I prevent issues like this from happening in the 
future?

That I'll agree with. It seems to me that what's called for is an
expansion of the tests done for the draft in question to include
other, currently in-vogue, CGN/LSN technologies.

That wasn't the conclusion I drew, can't speak for others of course.
My conclusion is that CGN/LSN is broken, as evidenced by brokenness in
NAT444. I agree that a comparison of all (or some reasonable subset of
all) LSN technologies would be valuable, especially as folks may begin
to be forced to choose one. For now I stick with the ideal: Avoid if
possible. (Dual-stack early, dual-stack often?)

It does today. IPv4 addresses are still freely available today though.

As soon as we introduce LSN, the infrastructure starts to stop
working. When that happens, IPv6 will have demand. Hopefully we can
deploy it before then and avoid the brokeness though...

I don't think that's a great analogy. NAT444 is CGN, the web is not

One of the things I find frustrating about this is the cost of the space.   
We're a very small shop and to add IPv6 addresses for testing now we're looking 
at paying another $2,200 a year ($1,700 in the first year) when it will 
probably be some time before we actually _need_ the addresses.   The waivers a 
few years were a nice start but why does the cost need to double ever?

It isn't like ARIN needs the money, they have more than they can spend.   Once 
we are a "member" and have IPv4 space, the marginal cost to ARIN of assigning 
the equivalent in IPv6 space is pretty close to zero.   Maybe some sort of NRC 
but doubling the annual cost just doesn't make sense.

At least with IPv4 you can make the argument that the cost is artificially high 
to control usage but with IPv6 there are no more scarcity issues.

I'd love to add IPv6 to the network but it just rubs me the wrong way to have 
to pay $2,220 a year to do so for something that essentially has no cost.  I 
can't imagine having to justify it to a bean counter.

The difference is that in the widest-used desktop OS, "turn me into a

In regards to (2), is it even possible to do DHCPv6-PD on with a SLAAC WAN?


It had better be, as IOS 12.2 SRE only supports SLAAC + DHCPv6-PD.
Most of the Cisco documentation I've seen, says that is their

subinterface, perform SLAAC, then hand out prefixes via DHCPv6-PD if
someone needs a prefix.


The DIR-825(Rev B) running firmware 2.05NA does. From the status screen:

IPv6 Connection Type : Autoconfiguration (SLAAC/DHCPv6)

The latest firmware has fairly good support, but is lacking configurable v6
firewall settings. I haven't done any firewall testing yet, but I'd imagine
all incoming v6 connections are blocked.

The Emulator hasn't been updated yet to reflect the options in the new
firmware, but this should give you an idea of what the configuration looks
like:

Hello,

As for the DIR-615, it should, but it doesn't...At least, the E3/E4 
revisions I had.  I contacted D-LINK support and was able to get a beta 
build that seems promising.  But DHCP-PD over PPPoE works relatively 
well, minus a couple of little "features".  I am hoping to have that 
hammered out soon, as the 615 is a capable little sub-50$ home CPE.  But 
D-Link engineering seems receptive to my observations.


I have to check the state of the firewalling in it too ;)

Verizon FiOS Distribution Switch

2011-01-19 Thread Chris Burwell
I have a question about a Verizon FiOS business connection with an
ethernet hand off and I am hoping that someone out there has done the
same thing.

We have a FiOS business connection coming into our building. This
includes an Ethernet hand off into the usual Actiontec router as well
as a block of 13 public IP addresses. The Actiontec router needs to
remain in place with its current Public IP address. We have some
devices from a vendor plugged into it for Internet access, as well as
numerous cable boxes across the building that get their guide
information through the coax interface on the router.

What we want to do is take the ethernet hand off out of the WAN
(RJ-45) interface on the Actiontec router and plug it into a hardened
Cisco switch such as a 2950. Our goal here is to use the Cisco switch
as a Internet distribution switch since we will have numerous test
devices that will need to have a direct connection to the Internet.
Our preference is also not to have all of the traffic from these other
devices traverse the Actiontec router.

I have a few concerns with this setup:

Some articles I have read indicate that the hand off from the Verizon
ONT may not be a direct Ethernet hand off so the interface it connects
to may require a different config (Dialer or something).

I am also concerned about any issues if the ONT or some down stream
Verizon device may cause if it sees multiple MAC addresses coming
across our link.

We're not trying to cheat the system or anything, just to modify the
Verizon setup to better suit our needs.

Any advice or tips would be helpful.

We didn't find that to be the case, after you factor in all the Cisco
pieces that need to be loaded as well.  Both make modular routers, so I
don't see how saying that one requires modules is a valid argument.

Re: How are you aggregating WAN customers these days?

I don't know; I've just seen them driving by (since other cabinets don't
have a gas meter, they stand out).  It looks like they set up two
cabinets about 6-8 feet wide, 3 feet deep, and 4-5 feet high (just
guestimating).  Maybe one cabinet for power/batteries/generator and one
for the telco gear?

I'm in north Alabama; earthquakes aren't a significant problem here.
The biggest I can remember was something like a 3.2, just enough to hear
and feel.  We're far enough from New Madrid that it shouldn't be an
issue.

Our main problem is severe storms (thunderstorms and tornados), the
once-every-few-decades ice storm, and the random exploding transformer.

The AT&T (formerly BellSouth) cabinets around here mostly have natural
gas generators included, so they almost never go out.  The cable
companies, on the other hand, might have enough battery to last through
a brownout.

Once upon a time, Leo Bicknell  said:

Huntsville, AL has Comcast and Knology (originally CableAlabama) cable
available at virtually every address (except for some apartment
complexes, which tend to only be wired for one cable plant and negotiate
a deal with one company or the other).  I believe some of the
surrounding areas have overlap between Knology and Mediacom.

A number of years ago (15 or so?), CableAlabama wanted to sell out to
Comcast, and the city refused to allow it under the franchise agreement.
CA sued and eventually won a settlement, but didn't end up merging (and
became or was bought out by Knology).  IIRC the settlement was 50% off
of the franchise fee for 20 years or so.

For a long time, we had the lowest cable prices in the country because
of the competition, but I don't think that's the case anymore (Comcast,
being the big corporate entity, doesn't care about competition with
Knology, and Knology just raises their prices to keep up).

Look up pictures of New York City in the early days of electricty.
There were streets where you couldn't hardly see the sky because of all
the wires on the poles.

And there's the other half of the problem.  Without franchise agreements
that require (mostly) universal service, you'd get 50 companies trying
to serve the richest neighborhoods in town, and none, or maybe one
high-priced vendor, serving the poorer areas.

There is limited space, and most people don't want the road and their
yard being dug up because their neighbor wants different water service.
Also, the more people digging, the more breaks you'll have in existing
services (and if there are fibers from 10 different companies cut,
they'll be pointing fingers for blame and all trying to get in the hole
at the same time to fix theirs first).

Hmm.  What would be really cool is if you could use Snort, NetFlow/NBAR, or 
some other sort of DPI tech to find specifically the IP addresses of the DDoS 
bots, and then pass that information back upstream via BGP communities that 
tell your peer router to drop traffic from those addresses.  That way the 
target of the traffic can continue to function if the DDoS traffic doesn't 
closely mimic the normal traffic.

Your BGP peer router would need to have lots of memory for /32 or /64 routes 
though.

Anyone heard of such a beast?  Or is this how the stuff from places like Arbor 
Networks do their thing?

I saw GFCI breakers installed in a new house this year, and it passed

I think you experienced a recall of a specific device and are confusing
that with a general removal.  When Toyota recalled a model of car, that
didn't mean all cars were banned.

A plain (non-drink) machine draws a few watts.  I don't think rack

few watts for a vending machine, then you probably can't install
