Re: [AusNOG] Microsoft Office365 CDN at Vocus appears to be corrupted

Okay, yes, that's odd.
As a work-around, it ought to work if you temporarily use the hosts file to
hand-specify the desired result of an A look-up on officecdn.microsoft.com.

Re: [AusNOG] Risks to country and business infrastructure

2019-09-10 Thread Tim Sheahan
Let's all bear in mind that we're still operating within the imagination
constraint of human agency. As long as we're imagining, I'd like to see
more people thinking about how the rules might change in the information
security sphere, if someone seems to be approaching the achievement of
human-level artificial general intelligence.

As for the rest, with respect for the potential usefulness of brainstorming
new cases -

I've been wondering when we'll see a stop-thread on this topic.

As others point out, movie plots tend to be encompassed within the planning
sphere of Information Security and its subcategories of availability,
integrity, confidentiality, authentication, accountability.

When someone questions whether this-or-that was predicted, this seems most
likely to indicate either the plausibility of the threat, or which side of
a closed door the questioner was on when the discussions were held.

Re: [AusNOG] Telstra mobile outage - QLD and VIC

I don't see Noggers talking about this recently, however my Telstra phone
calls & data are still not working in VIC.

Re: [AusNOG] Hardware for Linux / 10Gbe iperf3 hosts in the field

2018-03-04 Thread Tim Sheahan
 Thank you everybody for your responses.

Regarding the use case -

It's a fleet of distributed compute to be deployed over our metro ethernet
network, which includes both fiber and radio assets.

Orchestration is by Ansible, and the initial use case is for the boxen to
participate in a speed probe network for engineering purposes.

We're interested in speed tests which will quantify reserve performance in
a way which is responsive to packet loss (i.e. TCP).

As a high cost per node would be discouraging in the quantities we're
looking at, the aim is for smaller/single-board commodity hardware which
may include mobile chipsets but can nevertheless saturate a 10G link with
iperf3 test traffic.

Other use cases in the pipeline include hosting of customer speed test
nodes to operate in conjunction with a customer-service troubleshooting app
we're evaluating.
