XO Routing
Anyone know the impact on the XO Routing/Peering that is happening right now? We have had spotty connectivity for the last hour. Stefan
RE: XO Routing
I get the same hang up message, but did get in queue. The PSTN side is working fine from what I can see as our phones at a few locations are fine, but it is a shot in the dark for anything IP.

I called their tech line by cell, was told thanks for calling XO, we are experiencing technical difficulties and then it hung up on me. :-) This seems to happen about once a month with them though so I'm used to it.

Re: XO feedback
XO has many downs than ups. I am a current XO customer mainly due to the costs, having voice, PtP, Transit, and Co-Location. Here is my rundown. Internet Transit: Yes it works, and when their routing goes ape, no one knows what is going on. They have a tendency not to do a wr mem on their ciscos. Point to Point: Yes it works, but when they have to take an OC12 or some large circuit down you might be notified the day of. Also if you have more than one circuit with them, finding what circuit will be hit takes ages on their side. Co-Location: One crap shoot close to death. A change control group has to approve changes, adds, and you as a customer has zero say. Call Center: I feel like Mr. Bean is running the call center. Depending on who you call, and when they last did trainning you will get a wild range of responces. Even for the simplest of things takes about 20 min to make a ticket, and some have taken past 40min. Voice: Random failures of not being able to reach cell phone carriers. Random issues where some trunk lines just go offline. But to XO it is always the customer hardware. Another great feature if you have a trouble ticket and in part of correcting the issue if some other change was introduced an automated system will back out any changes weeks later. It is one of those things in life you deal with because the tradeoff is something execs see as the monthly OPEX costs.

Their pricing is very competative compared to some of the other providers we've considered to date. I'm hoping to get some feedback on their services, support, peering arrangements and the overall stability of their core backbone network from folks who've had experience or currently using them. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance -- Sent from my mobile device
Re: Geo Location and DNS
It took us over 3 months with Google to update. They never once said the info was wrong, and it was not even a new ARIN allocation. --Original Message-- From: Clue Store To: Kaegler, Mike Cc: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: Geo Location and DNS Sent: May 29, 2009 11:02 AM Thanks for the follow up. I admit I didn't search the archives ;) So this sux there's really no way to fix this but contact as many geo location folks as possible and have them update. I can't even get to alot of sites in the US because of this. UGH!!!

I just got a new /21 allocation from ARIN and am announcing it with no issues. I can ping anywhere and the planet can see me. The issue I am having is that when I surf out on this new allocation, it sends me to sites as if I were in Canada. A google search is all things canadian. Not that I have anything against canadians, but I also cannot surf to alot of sites using various DNS servers (my own, 4.2.2.2, etc). Anyone have any clue where I can get this fixed??

Some statistics about the effectiveness of car alarms and unmonitored house alarms would probably be useful here. Whack a $5 12v horn on it, and my bet is that it'd become a deterrent pretty quickly. -- Nathan Ward
Re: XO peering.
It just cleared up for me. Nice to have a call center complain constantly.

But looks like a side effect is after the hand off to NTT. Anyone who has an XO link can reach areas insdie NTT? As an example our route to Salesforce /21 is via NTT and it is not happy right now. This is from a host in XO AS2828 I can reach, for example, www.verio.net 204.202.20.3 / AS2914 NTT-COMMUNICATIONS-2914 just fine. www.salesforce.com is also reachable, through NTT -- Suresh Ramasubramanian (ops.li...@gmail.com)
Re: Yahoo and their mail filters..
They are accepting them by the 250 code, but never endup on the user mailbox. This was just within the last week.

Sent: Feb 24, 2009 6:27 PM This may be old news, but I've not been in the list for quite some time. At any rate, is anyone else having issues with Yahoo blocking / deferring legitimate emails? My situation is that I host our corporate mx'ers on my network, one of the companies that we recently purchased has Yahoo hosting their domains mail. Mail traffic to them is getting temporarily deferred with the 421 4.7.0 [TS01] Messages from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx temporarily deferred due to user complaints - 4.16.55.1; see http://postmaster.yahoo.com/421-ts01.html; The admin of the facility has contacted Yahoo about this but their response was for more information when they were told that traffic from my mx to their domain was to being deferred. I may end up just having them migrate to my systems just to maintain company communications if we can't clear this up in a timely manner. -- Micheal Patterson
Re: Yahoo and their mail filters..
For our userbase with yahoo/hotmail/aol accouts they hit the spam button more often than delete. Then complain they do not get emails anymore from us, then want discounts on a bill of sale they missed. It is a never ending story. --Original Message-- From: Suresh Ramasubramanian To: Micheal Patterson Cc: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: Yahoo and their mail filters..

Christ .. Yahoo did say complaints. And it can take a very low level of complaints before a block goes into place - especially for low volume (corporate etc) mailservers. Feedback loops are one cure, and another cure is keeping complaint volumes down. * Do you have an unfiltered NAT gateway pointed to the same IP as your corporate MTA? * Do you have any large spam sources in close proximity to you? Like you are colo'd on a /28 and someone else has a /27 or /26 in the same /24 that's emitting tons of spam (assuming colo). Or you have your mailserver hosted on a dsl pool (even a business class dsl pool) in which case your server is an island of valid mail in a large swamp of virus traffic * Do you have a marketing department that might be slightly overactive? etc etc. srs
Re: Leap second tonight
What FS do you have on your RAC? And do you have a log of console? We do not have 10g R2 on Solaris, but with the random issues we have seen. Oracle could have fenced each other off. We noticed that some errors do not show up anywhere than console, so we run conserver and dump all console out to log. --Original Message-- From: Simon Lockhart Sender: To: Wil Schultz Cc: NANOG list Sent: Jan 1, 2009 8:13 AM Subject: Re: Leap second tonight On Thu Jan 01, 2009 at 07:58:21AM -0800, Wil Schultz wrote: All of my Solaris 10 boxes stayed up with the exception of the Oracle 10g RAC boxes.
