8830 Complex Drive Datacenter in San Diego - Anyone Else Affected
Several carriers went down around 7am this morning, all tied to a datacenter in San Diego that has apparently shut down. Sad to see that place go, good guys ran it but there are several carriers that bit the bullet on us today due to that place closing down. Seems every one of them is grasping to get their connections migrated out and customers back online. We do not have gear there but I guess some of our carriers did. Lots of dark fiber enters there from several providers. Thank the lord for path diversity. :-) Norman Mexico Internet Exchange 619-319-7055 (I prefer WhatsApp or Text if you do too.)

Their nameservers (ns1/2.axscn.net) aren't even reachable. If it’s the same American Internet Servcies that later became NFINIT, they were aquired by Lightedge. Possibly that has something to do with it.
Re: Geoip database update
I have found that to be impossible. There are a few geoip databases but they all tend to operate the same, with specific update periods. I’ve been on the phone with maxmind etc and they simply have no way to help and say we must wait. It’s really sad how they control so much important data yet care not about the impact their control has when they are wrong.

WISPs need this type of system and would show added interest if it has those charts and metrics. The integrations are good also. HubSpot integration is a plus so we can pull user data out of it and add it to their HubSpot profiles.

Do you really believe that it is fashionable to come here and post this short notice “you must opt-out” notice that you are going to use our resources? I feel that as innocuous as your tests may be, you must work in reverse of how you are doing this now. Furthermore we do not have to opt-out, and tell you our ASN etc. Shall we will bill your for our valuable time? Does your experiment have a budget for that? We’re all very busy here and don’t need to do your work for you. The number of assigned ASNs exceeds 100k, so let’s just assume your experiment causes each network operator an hour labor to notify its staff, examine the details of your experiment and fill our your opt-out form, I would expect about $7,500,000 in fees. (Based upon a small 75.00 hour fee.) It’s unjust that you burden the world with work you should be doing. Don’t get me wrong. I’m in support of experiments that can advance our world but they have to be done correctly. Should your experiment have unforeseen outcomes and cause major disruptions, the liability is unmeasurable. I can however thank you for posting this here so we have a chance to rebut it. Please read my words in a happy voice so it doesn’t come off too edgy.

For some reason they do not comprehend the fact that companies in these days must lease ip space due to the shortages. We are delegated ipv4 from a datacenter (in addition to our own ip space) which is all used for our eyeball network of home users. They said "This ip space is from a hosting company", which it is not.. it's from a datacenter where some of our core gear aggregates routes from all the carriers in that hotel. We backhaul all data out to our pops all over San Diego and it ends up in customers homes. Ips are properly delegated, but they tag them as VPN and HOSTING when they are not. Worse off, they said they won't change it. I asked them if they monitored NANOG and they didn't know what it was. Nice to know the people making those decisions are not paying attention to the network world and making those decisions that affect many many people. With great power comes great responsibility.

Clever use of a decommissioned Datacenter
I’ve got a fiber rich datacenter that was decommissioned adjacent to One Wilshire. Pipe to coresite and equinix and other fiber as well. The datacenter shuttered due to changing market conditions It wasn’t ready to adapt to. Anyway, wondering if you have any cool ideas on how to raise it up again from scratch. I was thinking renting the whole place out to someone or open to other ideas. Maybe something other than colo? Norman Jester 619-319-7055
Hi-Rise Building Fiber Suggestions
I’m in the process of choosing hardware for a 30 story building. If anyone has experience with this I’d appreciate any tips. There are two fiber pairs running up the building riser. I need to put a POE switch on each floor using this fiber. The idea is to cut the fiber at each floor and insert a switch and daisy chain the switches together using one pair, and using the other pair as the failover side of the ring going back to the source so if one device fails it doesn’t take the whole string down. The problem here is how many switches can be strung together and I would not try more than 3 to 5. This is not something I typically do (stacking switches). I have fears of STP and/or RSTP issue stacking past Ethernet switch to switch limits (if they still exist??) Is there a device with a similar protocol as the old 3com (now HP IDF) stacking capability via fiber? I’d like to use something inexpensive as its to power ubiquiti wifi on each floor. Ideally if you know something I don’t about ubiquiti switches that can do this I’d appreciate knowing. Norman
