that's odd to see, I had thought DTAG was a peer of 701 at some point.
maybe that's an incorrect 15 yr old memory :( (or maybe things changed!)

it happens that from IAD area ... same path via LAX :(
It also seems strange that 3320 would ONLY appear in LAX... maybe their
east-coast
landings are feeling under the weather?

Wave/Astound (AS11404) contact?

2022-05-18 Thread Jessica Litwin via NANOG
Hi list,

If anyone has a valid contact for or is lurking from Wave/Astound
(AS11404), would you please contact me off list?  I'm having trouble
getting a response from any of the ARIN addresses about stale PTR records
causing issues, which I'd really like to get resolved.

Thanks in advance

Verizon NJ <-> Hetzner DE, routes via LA?

2022-05-18 Thread Tomas Jonsson
Since yesterday, I've started to see an increase in latency between my 
self in NJ on Verizon FIOS and Hetzner in DE. Even using Verizon:s 
looking glass is giving me 250ms. This is an increase of about 150ms 
(Seems to be true for most of the US East Coast)
A traceroute seems to tell me that the traffic is routed via LA, which 
could explain the increase in latency.

Admittedly vague, but deliberate. Perhaps the thread answered the question.
:-)

Metropolitan Statistical Area.The easy answer is "its where the eyeballs
are". If so, that's great and it is (was) that simple. A lot of companies
are predicting where the "edge" will actually shake out and most are using
MSA. It's not that simple, there are certainly other attributes, but it may
be that simple. Sorting by MSA and descending population you would think it
is a no-brainer. Not necessarily? So perhaps a bolt on to the question,
"and what attributes influence that importance?".

Agreed - but wouldn't it be fair to say that, nonetheless, the availability
of an MSA
supports the development of network architecture?

With an MSA, there is some limited, common basis for a discussion in
an ecosystem of vendors and network operators.
That should support development of architecture.

Agreed, if possible do boring things and get boring results.

Even in vendor land, a boring result is not guaranteed. Vendor had one
100GE LR4 SKU approved for their platform and it had problems
performing under some conditions. Issue was with something LBW (loop
bandwidth?) some optics have this at 10MHz others 20MHz, and the
former does not perform with certain jitter, latter does and the
former was only one approved by the vendor. Vendor addressed this by
removing approval for the only version that was approved and approved
another one. It was not blatantly broken, it would almost certainly
work fine in your lab, as environmental conditions needed to apply.

Also testing goes only so far, because vendors change suppliers and
hardware all the time, without changing SKU. Cisco is the only vendor
I know who has very detailed change logs of what they are doing to the
SKUs with each change. Single order might contain multiple versions of
the SKU and the versions may not behave the same. We recently had this
problem with 3rd party optic, where a new version of SKU didn't work
for us, and we had to discover it in the field and we only knew of the
SKU change after the problem occurred. Of course probably more than 99
SKU changes out of 100 are invisible to end users.

In your fair proposal, MSA is related to network architecture as a way
to standardise pluggable (optics). But as always standards are
incomplete, ambiguous and do not guarantee interoperability, so it
will take some time for industry to decide what is 'correct'
interpretation of MSA. Implying when you buy early in life cycle new
optics, you may want to source more carefully and test, compared to
buying later in life cycle sourcing pluggables anywhere with 0 testing
is relatively low risk.

Asking good questions is much harder than answering good questions.

You could have improved the quality of question here by staging what
MSA is and in what context you've run into this.

I am assuming MSA here is a metro statistical area, and if so, I can
answer for the context of my employer, where MSA has similar functions
as your region (roughly continent), country and pop. MSA is a way to
discuss and name areas, between pop and country for us, not much
different to city in our use.
