Re: Indonesian ISP Moratel announces Google's prefixes

2012-11-06 Thread Stephen Wilcox
Nobody said a Moratel customer announced a Google prefix, they said the
issue was within Moratel.

This is a really good article that explains the issue in detail, maybe read
it again?

 according to the blog, all google's 4 authoritative DNS server networks and

 Moratel customers announce all those prefixes?

FYI RIPE reallocated these blocks. Whilst I understand they didn't want the
court order, this seems a bit silly, doesn't that now make the machines
residing in these blocks special - even if the owners arent miscreants, it
makes them a viable target.

 When it isn't causing a major problem, the powers that be have a harder

Re: The Choice: IPv4 Exhaustion or Transition to IPv6

2007-06-28 Thread Stephen Wilcox

Hmm I find this topic quite interesting.

First is the belief that the Internet will suddenly break on the day when the 
last IP block is allocated by an RIR - the fact that most of the v4 space is 
currently not being announced may mean we have many years before there are real 
widespread shortages

Second is the belief that this will prompt a migration to IPv6, as though 
moving to an entirely different and largely unsupported protocol stack is the 
logical thing to happen. Surely it is easier and far cheaper by use of existing 
technology for example for organisations to make efficient use of their public 
IPs and deploy NATs?

As technology people we are looking at v6 as the clean bright future of IP, but 
the real world is driven by economics and I dont see v6 as being economically 
viable in the near future

I'm also yet to hear a convincing explanation of how v6 and v4 are expected to 
interoperate in a v4 internet that contains v6 islands...

multihoming is simple, you get an address block and route it to your upstreams.

the policy surrounding that is another debate, possibly for another group

this thread is discussing how v4 to v6 migration can operate on a network level

v6 multihoming (Re: The Choice: IPv4 Exhaustion or Transition to IPv6)

2007-06-29 Thread Stephen Wilcox

Hi Christian,
 I am not seeing how v4 exhaustion, transition to v6, multihoming in v6 and 
destruction ov DFZ are correlated.

If you took everything on v4 today and migrated it to v6 tomoro the routing 
table would not grow - actually by my calculation it should shrink (every ASN 
would only need one prefix to cover its current and anticipated growth). So 
we'll see 22 routes reduce to 25000.

The technology we have now is not driving multihoming directly and v4 vs v6 is 
not a factor there.

So in what way is v6 destroying DFZ?

Steve

 Amazink!  Some things on NANOG _never_ change.  Trawling for trolls I must be.
 
 If you want to emulate IPv4 and destroy the DFZ, yes, this is trivial.  And 
 you should go ahead and plan that migration.
 
 As you well known, one of the core assumptions of IPv6 is that the DFZ policy 
 stay intact, ostensibly to solve a very specific scaling problem.
 
 So, go ahead and continue talking about migration while ignoring the very 
 policies within which that is permitted to take place and don't let me 
 interrupt that ranting.

 Christian

 Reasonable people may disagree with any particular MLC action,
 however, I don't think that overall policy interpretation is too

 It seems to me that there are two issues, topicality and quality.

 I'm not generally finding the NANOG list worth reading these days, and
 that makes me sad.  I don't think I've noticed anything particularly
 off-topic recently.  The mailing list committee must be doing a

I think that is evidenced also on nanog-futures. How to measure the

evidence that NANOG posts or diversity is decreasing. Is there a  
problem or is the list just evolving and not everyone likes it?

 don't think those people add any value to the discussion, and I don't
 think the hordes of people who generally jump in to argue with them  
 from
 different but equally uninformed perspectives do either.  But, most  
 of the
 time those people are on-topic.  They're just not useful or  
 interesting.

 I'd be quite happy to see the list administrators going to some of the

 We have one person banned for life and a day and we don't seem to
 have a way to address that. We addressed it in v.01 of the MLC where
 we wanted the decks cleared of bans and added everyone back in, but
 then we were forced to re-ban said miscreant.

 Please advise.

 I would do two things:

 characterize it as indefinite rather than permanent.

 Assign right of review to the sc without guidelines as to when or how
 review might occur.

yes altho i would make sure that review occurs periodically.. these  
things are highly unusual (1 person in all these years) so i don't  
think it hurts to keep things in the discussion every few months. i  
was on that MLC and was disappointed it had to be that way

you may even want to try unbanning some time just to test the water,  
that would seem to be within the spirit of things, no?
