RE: Roku Streaming Issues

2024-05-08 Thread John Stitt
I saw a lot of tickets yesterday afternoon/evening for issues with streaming 
services on roku devices, and downdetector also had a very large spike in user 
reports, but I haven’t seen any issues from our customers today. I haven’t seen 
any reports on the  puck.nether.net Outages mailing list related to it either.

We’re in southwest Kentucky, for what that’s worth.

RE: Netskrt - ISP-colo CDN

2024-04-04 Thread John Stitt
The website says they are part of the Streaming Video Technology Alliance.

I wonder if this is a prepackaged Open Cache box.

https://opencaching.svta.org/

We also don’t appear to have had any traffic from them.  Not much on the 
peeringdb for the USA ASN either.

BGP.tools shows they have upstreams with each ASN, and are on Ohio IX with 
AS53471, but not really any peers anywhere.  Looks like Cogent and Zayo for 
upstreams and only peer I see is AS1239 (Sprint Wireline (Cogent))

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<https://www.peeringdb.com/org/36226>) 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.

Re: SRI's Dan Lynch dies

I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting Mr. Lynch, but I thought id add that from 
other sources I am told he was 82 years old.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/31/technology/daniel-c-lynch-dead.html

Thank you for sharing the news to this list. I’m sure he is and will be greatly 
missed by those who knew him.  I’m thankful for all he did for computing and

Dan was director of computing facilities at SRI International, where

SRI, and later at USC-ISI led the team that made the transition from the

Re: Open source Netflow analysis for monitoring AS-to-AS traffic

I’m using Alvarado for netflow and I’m pretty happy with it. Seeing it 
recommended more frequently on Reddit and elsewhere lately too.

What's presently the most commonly used open source toolset for monitoring 
AS-to-AS traffic?

I want to see with which ASes I am exchanging the most traffic across my 
transits and IX links. I want to look for opportunities to peer so I can better 
sell expansion of peering to upper management.

Our routers are mostly $VENDOR_C_XR so Netflow support is key.

In the past, I've used AS-Stats<https://github.com/manuelkasper/AS-Stats> for 
this purpose. However, it is particularly CPU and disk IO intensive. Also, it 
has not been actively maintained since 2017.

InfluxDB wants to sell 
me<https://www.influxdata.com/what-are-netflow-and-sflow/> on Telegraf + 
InfluxDB + Chronograf + Kapacitor, but I can't find any clear guide on what 
hardware I would need for that, never mind how to set up the software. It does 
appear to have an open source option, however.

pmacct seems to be good at gathering Netflow, but doesn't seem to analyze data. 
I don't see any concise howto guides for setting this up for my purpose, 
however.

I'm aware Kentik does this very well, but I have no budget at the moment, my 
testing window is longer than the 30 day trial, and we are not prepared to 
share our Netflow data with a third party.

Elastiflow<https://www.elastiflow.com/> appears to have been open 
source<https://github.com/robcowart/elastiflow?tab=readme-ov-file> at one time 
in the past, but no longer. Since it too appears to be hosted, I have the same 
objections as I do with Kentik above.

On-list and off-list replies are welcome.

Thanks,

RE: Akamai AANP minimum traffic?

2024-02-22 Thread John Stitt
I can't speak with authority since I'm not with Akamai, but I requested a cache 
maybe a year or so ago. At the time I was told they were moving away from 
caching unless you were doing well over 100Gbps consistently, just due to the 
massive scale of their data not lending itself well to caching in smaller 
installs. Their cache hit percentages were getting lower all the time.

They were really pushing for doing PNI or hitting them over an IXP instead.

It's possible something has changed though, just wanted to throw my experience 
out in case it helps.  Can't hurt to reach out and make a request and see what 
they tell you directly. I got a response pretty quickly and they were nice 
about it.

It's trivially easy to block their entire domain at the mail server level, of
