We're seeing ~2000+ routes leaking at Any2 LA, originating from AS4826. Our traceroutes to Microsoft were going to LA-New Zealand and back O_o. We filtered them out, but thought other folks should know just in case. I also did call their NOC send them a copy of my notes - just thought I'd throw

We peer with Netflix directly on an exchange, and transit Level3, Cogent, HE TW. In me experience, when our direct peer is down for whatever reason, Netflix prefers Hurricane Electric no matter what - if the route is there, it takes it - then Cogent, then Level3, then TW. I agree that the

We have used Ubersmith here ata Data102 for several years (since august 2009? I think?) and have been very pleased with it. As a datacenter operator, it provides a truckload of tools and (perhaps the most important thing about it) integrates it all together pretty seamlessly. For a simple example

Good morning, We're in the market to move our IX peering off of our core (too much BGP/CPU :-/ ) and onto a dedicated switch. Anybody have a recommendation on a switch that can do the following without costing a fortune? I have scoured Cisco, and bang for the buck is ... ASR9k (way over powered

We use/d nfsen extensively for this this past November December and have been very successful in planning our bandwidth purchases since then. We like it so much that reliable, full-speed Netflow telemetry is now a requirement on all edge/core routers. Randal On Tue, May 14, 2013 at 8:18 PM,

Netflix transit preference?

Hey NANOG! I work at a datacenter in southern Colorado that is the upstream bandwidth provider for several regional ISPs. We have been investigating our ever-growing bandwidth usage and have found that out of transits (Level3,Cogent,HE) that Netflix always seems to come in via Hurricane Electric.

This is a huge point. We've had a LOT of trouble finding good network engineers who have all of the previously mentioned soft attributes - attitude, team player, can write, can speak, can run a small project - and are more than just Cisco pimps. I cannot explain how frustrating it is to meet a

We have a situation where we/many of our customers are unable to receive email from Yahoo due to broken DNS, which really doesn't look broken. As I don't have error numbers, just undeliverables, automated support is not useful. Off-list is fine, but posting a real honest-to-gosh-real-life contact

Yep, we started seeing this right around 12:20pm MST. We saw it from a customer's rapidly-flapping BGP peer. We told them to configure bgp maxas-limit, but apparently CRS1s don't have that command. Anybody have a handy route-map that will deny anything with a as-path longer than say 15-20? ;-)

That is a very interesting paper. Seriously, 7mpps with an off-the-shelf Dell 2950? Even if it were -half- that throughput, for a pure ethernet forwarding solution that is incredible. Shoot, buy a handful of them as hot spares and still save a bundle. Highly recommended reading, even if (like me)
