Re: Texas internet connectivity declining due to blackouts
Can you let us know how you access the information you are seeing for Texas? I went to the website and can't find anything that allows me to actually view some data other than a twitter feed.

According to NetBlocks, which normally monitors government imposed outages, reports network connectivity at 68% in Texas. https://netblocks.org/ Texas operates a separate electric grid, with limited interconnections to the rest of North America. For political reasons For those with long memories, ENRON a Texas based corporation, once upon a time drove rolling blackouts across California in order to make billions.
Re: Tell me about AS19111
Just imagine how good we would all feel if we came together as a community and really did do what Ron suggests below? I would do anything to be part of something like that...

I do not feel that it is a stretch to say that all of this use of bogon ASNs is arguably even more shameful than the widespread lack of adherence to BCP 38, owing to the ease with which it may be seen and documented. It represents yet another, and equally or perhaps even more egregious violation of Internet norms which endangers us all, and all of our customers, every bit as much as the widespread and inexcusable failures to conform to BCP 38. The Internet needs to grow up. This isn't a little government funded science experiment anymore. We have a whole planet's full of end users watching now, and history will not be kind to those who continue to shirk their responsibilities to the common man in the interests of lining their own pockets in the short term.

For the record, there are just as many of us that appreciate your verbosity. On 8/13/2019 12:35 PM, Ronald F.

As noted in my immediately prior posting, ARIN's careful adjudication of this or any other possible case of fraud could take weeks or even months. And even if, after careful and thoughtful deliberation, ARIN concludes that there is indeed something wrong here, ARIN has neither the power nor the authority to tell anyone how to configure their routers, and thus, any decision or conclusion made by ARIN, regarding this or any other case of possible fraud, will have no immediate effect on the flow of bad packets. Regards, rfg P.S. I do apologize for my verbosity. As the late Carl Sagan often said, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I made the extraordinary claim, on this public mailing list, that -something- fradulent had gone on with respect to the 216.179.128.0/17 block which has resulted in the WHOIS record for that bearing little or no relationship to actual reality. Having made the claim, I felt a duty to explain and to provide the evidence, not in 140 characters, but in detail.

Exactly. In other words, don't be a social retard. On 4/18/2019 7:23 AM, Mel Beckman wrote: Rich, If you want NANOG to devolve into a morass of political claptrap, keep posting comments like that.
