Re: Netskrt - ISP-colo CDN

[Jesse DuPont]

  
  
Right now, Amazon Prime is sponsoring the
  deployment of the caches. They deploy in your network and requests
  from your IPs (v4 or v6) are redirected to your on-net caches. For
  on-demand content, it's loaded nightly (as best they can predict)
  and for live (like TNF), it's a one-to-many HLS media server for
  participating content.

That name rang a bell so I looked up my emails.
  
  
  They contacted me last year, they were claiming to be
"working with some of the major streaming brands, such as
Amazon Prime Video, to improve the quality of both VOD and
live streaming while also reducing the load on ISP networks
such as your own.".
  
  
  Based on my quick research, they have a few
registered ASNs (their peeringdb page) with a few
netblocks but I get 0 traffic from them (we're a sizable
eyeball network). Their origin network might still not be
ready but digging a little bit more, it seems they act as a
third-party video caching solution and not as an origin CDN
so in the end, they're really just trying to sell ISPs and
other types of customers their caching solutions.

out there using Netskrt CDN?  I mean, installed in your

for content delivery to your customers.  I understand
Netskrt provides

wondering if there are any network operators that have
worked with 
Netskrt and deployed their caching servers in your networks
and what 
have you thought about it?  What Internet uplink savings are

Re: Network chatter generator

[Jesse DuPont]

  
  
I believe you can do most of what you want
  using a Mikrotik and its Traffic Generator. Packet templates can
  be crafted mimic any of the popular protocols (L2, L3, L4), at
  least at the header level, with less flexibility on the payload
  legitimacy.

  Ideally, said tool would have knobs to control the amount of
  traffic and whether a given type of traffic is present.
  
  
  This is mostly for torture testing "IoT" type devices by exposing
  them to lots of diverse, essentially nonsense traffic that they're
  likely to see in a real environment.

Re: ipv6 address management - documentation

phpIPAM for the win. NIPAP is effective, if
  basic. I've heard of lots of people who like Netbox.

  Hello NANOG'ers,

I hope this isn't too far off-topic:

I'm wondering, does anyone have any recommendations for a lawfirm
that will help a newbie through the process of becoming a CLEC? I
understand that it can take years, and am prepared for that.

Specifically in San Jose, California.

I'm trying to determine (by trial and error) the theoretical
minimum cost of running a tiny neighborhood FTTH +
very-short-range fixed-point wireless ISP for residences that
don't have fiber for no good reason at all.

https://mplink.llc/img/mplink-v0.1-pencil.jpg

Have gear, some funds, conflict-of-interest exception, and a
smidge of clue. Even have the first run of fiber already pulled
(via quickly-cancelled AT Dedicated Internet). Just need
https://clec.att.com/ access and somewhere to put my gear on the
other end of the line. I think.

Cheers.




  

Re: Problems with newish IP block assignment issues from ARIN

[Jesse DuPont]

  
  
Justin,

We have had this with recent ARIN assignments, too. When we'd get
reports from customers, we would reach out to the site admin
contacts (either domain WHOIS or IP address WHOIS), explain the
situation, and in every case, they were either blocking it because
the prefix formerly originated from outside the US, or their
GeoLocation database was not updated, in spite of us having
contacted all the known GeoLocation providers on the TBW page.

  Folks,
Have a gremlin we have been chasing around for several months now and it’s becoming a major issue as we are getting tighter on IPV4 and needing to give some provider assigned space back.

In June we received a /22 from ARIN.  As is my workflow I started announcing it but waited a month while I checked out the geolocation databases for correct info, did testing ,etc. All this time our test accounts could browse web-sites, etc. 

We put one of the pools into production and things ran good for awhile.  Then we started getting the occasional web-site was not working.  After several of these we started assigning the customer an IP out of one of our other ARIN blocks and the web-site would be fine and reachable. The issue seems to reside just on this /22.  We have other blocks from ARIN and they are just fine.  We can assign an IP out of this new block and can’t reach certain web-sites.  We turn around and assign out of another block and web-site works just fine.

We have two upstreams and an IX on this network.  We have tried withdrawing the route on this particular /22 and isolating to one upstream alone and the problems still persist. 

Many of the web-sites in question are government (both state and local), online universities, and the occasional local news station.  They are diverse enough to not be traced down to a common point, except the IP block.  

We announce the IP block via BGP the same exact way we announce the other blocks. Traceroutes show the path going the same way no matter what IP block the customer has.

It acts like the IP block was blacklisted at some point and got on some bad lists but I don’t want ti limit myself to that theory.  I have opened up a ticket with ARIN asking for any guidance.  Has anyone ran into this with new space assigned? Any tools, sites, etc. I can use to do further troubleshooting.  The IP block does not appear to have any blacklisted IPs according to MX toolbox, and some others.

The block in question is 134.195.44.0/22.  It has been RPKI certified and has IRR entries.

Thanks in advance

CBS Streaming NOC Contact

[Jesse DuPont]

  
  
Good morning. Does anyone have an email contact for CBS All Access
streaming NOC? We're struggling with what appear to be some
geo-location issues - our info is right on all the known
geo-location providers, but we're still struggling with some of our
IP blocks being unable to stream from CBS.
