[AfrIPv6-Discuss] Cloud Innovation Displays Very Poor, If Not Criminal, Netizenship
Hi all. I'm not one to b**ch & moan in public, but per subject, I could not let this one slide. And if you get this from multiple mailing lists, apologies for that - I'm just trying to make sure that this reaches as wide an audience as possible, on the continent. SEACOM (AS37100) acquired MacroLan (AS37353) a couple of years ago. MacroLan is now part of the SEACOM family, and while we are in the process of integrating that network into AS37100, some existing services continue to be delivered on AS37353 until that exercise is completed. One of the customers that AS37353 was providing services to was Cloud Innovation, in Cape Town. From a routing perspective, because Cloud Innovation had no AS number for this service, all of their IP address space was being originated by AS37353, on their behalf. In December of 2019, AS37353 ceased providing services to Cloud Innovation. That is 6 months ago. In recent days, it came to SEACOM's attention that some of Cloud Innovation's IP address space was being originated by AS37353 - specifically, 156.241.3.0/24 - even though we were sure that they were no longer a customer of AS37353 since December of 2019. At first, we thought this was a cached entry in a number of popular looking glasses, but then every looking glass had the same entry, which made this an unlikely bug. As of yesterday afternoon, see below what Telia's looking glass was saying about this prefix: * Path #1: Received by speaker 0 4809 134190 37353 2.255.249.42 (metric 2134) from 2.255.253.101 (80.91.242.40) Origin incomplete, localpref 200, valid, internal, best, group-best, import-candidate Communities: 1299:431 (RPKI state Unknown) 1299:1000 1299:3 1299:30600 23456:20413 45352:4500 45352:9204 * But when I run a traceroute from my house to that prefix, it clearly was not ending up in Cape Town, where AS37353's main operation resides: * MacBook-Pro-7:~ tinka$ traceroute -I 156.241.3.1 traceroute to 156.241.3.1 (156.241.3.1), 64 hops max, 72 byte packets 1 172.16.0.254 (172.16.0.254) 14.824 ms 11.522 ms 3.525 ms 2 xe-1-3-0-1064.er-01-jnb.za.seacomnet.com (105.22.37.13) 5.620 ms 9.714 ms 9.887 ms 3 ce-0-2-0-0.cr-02-jnb.za.seacomnet.com (105.16.28.2) 175.232 ms 172.699 ms 175.896 ms 4 xe-0-0-0-8.cr-02-cpt.za.seacomnet.com (105.16.9.182) 164.496 ms 163.578 ms 163.546 ms 5 105.16.14.153 (105.16.14.153) 169.812 ms 171.272 ms 177.115 ms 6 xe-0-0-0-0.br-02-lhr.uk.seacomnet.com (105.16.34.253) 168.911 ms 172.958 ms 165.165 ms 7 82.112.115.169 (82.112.115.169) 172.700 ms 176.482 ms 174.375 ms 8 ae-17.r05.londen12.uk.bb.gin.ntt.net (129.250.2.147) 672.099 ms 613.617 ms 615.109 ms 9 ae-2.r24.londen12.uk.bb.gin.ntt.net (129.250.4.244) 181.952 ms 183.087 ms 187.302 ms 10 ae-16.r20.frnkge13.de.bb.gin.ntt.net (129.250.3.13) 190.511 ms 185.579 ms 187.058 ms 11 ae-3.r20.sngpsi07.sg.bb.gin.ntt.net (129.250.4.17) 520.882 ms 613.982 ms 615.275 ms 12 ae-9.r24.tkokhk01.hk.bb.gin.ntt.net (129.250.7.67) 612.301 ms 586.886 ms 436.711 ms 13 ae-1.r03.tkokhk01.hk.bb.gin.ntt.net (129.250.6.98) 614.470 ms 613.416 ms 614.281 ms 14 ce-0-3-0-3.r03.tkokhk01.hk.ce.gin.ntt.net (203.131.241.126) 614.128 ms 613.661 ms 615.416 ms 15 * * * 16 * * * 17 156.241.3.1 (156.241.3.1) 494.400 ms 410.180 ms * MacBook-Pro-7:~ tinka$ * So we, then, realized that this was a fraudulent use of MacroLan's AS37353, to which we had given no express permission. As luck would have it, due to my days living and working in Malaysia, I know the good folk that operate AS134190 (IPDC Solutions), who was the upstream providing transit for this prefix. So I rang them up yesterday afternoon, told them what was happening, and within the hour, they got that eBGP session shutdown. I am most grateful to them for their quick response and immediate understanding of what was going on. Even with all the technology we have today, it, many times, comes down to having good friends in good places. Anyway, it turns out the ISP that had acquired this prefix from Cloud Innovation is based in Manila, Philippines. When IPDC delivered their transit service to them in Manila, that ISP informed them that they should use AS37353 for the eBGP session. Yes, one could argue that IPDC should have done their checks to ensure that the AS number being provided by their customer belongs to them, but to be honest, I'm not too bothered about that compared to Cloud Innovation's thinking that it was okay to use another network's AS number in order to deliver their services to their customers. IPDC confirm that this service was activated for the Manila ISP in December of 2019, right around the time Cloud Innovation's service with SEACOM, in Cape Town, ended. As it currently stands, the ISP in Manila is now off the Internet, with some 12 paying customers currently without service. Their excuse - they do not have an AS number of their own. IPDC tried to find out why the ISP in

[AfrIPv6-Discuss] SAFNOG-7: Thank You!
Hello all. On behalf of the SAFNOG Management Committee, I'd like to extend a warm and heartfelt "Thank You!" for all your support in being a part of the SAFNOG-7 meeting in Cape Town, this past August. We were very pleased to not only have an interesting program, but to also reunite as a community after two long years of being forced apart, where we had all missed each other, and the social aspect of the work that we all do, in building both the African and the global Internet. I would like to thank all of our sponsors, without whom the event would not have been possible. I would like to thank all of our speakers, who provided the wonderful content that, I am sure, delivered some knowledge and engagement value to you all. I would like to thank the SAFNOG Management and Program Committees, who freely volunteer their time and energy, every year, to put together and produce our meeting. The goal remains to always create impact, and change the lives of our community in a meaningful way, one person at a time. SAFNOG aims to continue to achieve that through information. And most especially, I would like to thank you, the community, who came out to attend the meeting, and made it what it was. Without you, the event would have no purpose. You can access each presentation that was given at this year's meeting here: https://safnog.org/event/agenda.html You can also access the video recordings of each presentation (still being prepared and uploaded) here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLRItGb8Y2HXIu_EUdp3Sag/videos We look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Plans for 2023 will be announced in due course. For now, I and the SAFNOG Management Committee would like to wish you all a great end to the 2022 season as we enter its final quarter, health, happiness, and the best for all of your and your families.

Prospective presenters should note that the majority of speaking slots will be filled well before the final submission deadline. The PC may, at their discretion, retain a limited number of slots up to the final submission deadline for presentations that are exceptionally timely, important, or of critical operational importance. Every year we turn away submissions, due to filling up all available programme slots before the deadline. Presenters should endeavour to get material to the PC sooner rather than later. Any questions or concerns should be addressed to the Programme Committee Chairs by e-mail at: pc-chairs at apricot.net We look forward to receiving your presentation proposals.

Hi all. The SAFNOG-8 Organizing Committee would like to welcome everyone to join us in Lusaka, Zambia, 29th - 30th August, 2023. The SAFNOG-8 Programme Committee (PC) are responsible for the solicitation and selection of suitable presentation and tutorial content for the SAFNOG-8 conference (https://safnog.org/). We are now seeking nominations from the community to join the SAFNOG-8 PC to assist with the development of the programme for SAFNOG-8. Eligible PC candidates must have attended recent SAFNOG events, have broad technical knowledge of Internet operations, and have good familiarity with the format of SAFNOG. Having constructive opinions and ideas about how the programme content might be improved is of high value too. PC members are expected to work actively to solicit content and review submissions for technical merit. The PC meets by conference call, weekly in frequency during the three months leading up to SAFNOG. If you are interested in joining the PC and meet the above eligibility criteria, please send a brief note to: safnog-pc-chairs at lists.safnog.org The note must include affiliation (if any) and a brief description about why you would make a good addition to the PC. The PC Chairs will accept nominations received by 1600hrs UTC+2 on Friday 26th May, 2023, and will announce the new PC shortly thereafter. Thanks.
