FCC emergency waiver: Jewish Community Centers Calling Party Number Identification

2017-03-03 Thread Sean Donelan


The FCC granted an emergency temporary waiver to telecommunication 
carriers serving Jewish Community Centers, allowing access to the 
Caller-ID (Calling Party Number Identification) normally blocked at the 
calling party's request (i.e. star-67).


Although per call Call-Trace (i.e. star-57) and permanent Trap-and-Trace 
court orders also report the Caller-ID and other call information, such 
as ANI to law enforcement; the FCC occasionally granted similar 
waivers in the past.


Obviously this doesn't help with spoofed calling numbers.

I concur with Job.

If you are single-homed but care about having proper L3 redundancy (not
just VRRP or equivalent), BGP is a must.

ARIN has a policy to allow this, but it is not spelled out with an excess
of clarity. I suspect it is not often used; see NRPM section 5.

Correct.

That is very strongly worded, and in plenty of cases a false assertion.

ASNs don't have anything to do with FIB.

There are numerous reasons to use BGP when single-homed:

- as preparation to multi-home in the (near) future
- ability to quickly change providers
- to use BGP based blackholing features
- to save time on provisioning work (adding new prefixes becomes a
  matter of just announcing and updating IRR/RPKI).
- loadbalanacing / loadsharing across multiple links
- ability to use bgp communities for traffic engineering

In other words, if you have your own IP space, I'd recommend to get your
own ASN and use BGP.

If you are single-homed, there is no need for BGP at all. And injecting your 
ASN into the table is probably not terribly useful to everyone else’s FIB.

There are, of course, corner cases. But in general, single-homed people 
shouldn’t be using BGP.

You don't need to import them into your border router's FIB.  It's 
always good to be able to change your own routing policy without 
having to consult your upstream's NOC.

it can also break horribly in situations where the provider is providing
"transit" but doesn't provide full transit.

OTOH, if you are single-homed, it is highly advisable to accept a
default, the reason being that most transit providers provide bgp
communities with "don't advertise to customers" semantics.  So if you're
single-homed and use a full dfz feed without default route, you will not
have full connectivity to all the routes available from the transit
provider.
