They seem to look at changes in more databases than just ARIN...

Several months ago I received a new ASN from RIPE for a company that is in
business for more than 25 years now, but always used static routing for their
PI space from one transit provider. 2 days after the ASN has been registered
in the RIPE database somebody from Cogent called me as the admin-c and asked
if we need transit for the new ASN or help with BGP.

Also, as we all know, Cogent calls or sends emails every few months although
you tell them to remove your contact details from their database. Once in,
never out...

P.S.: Thanks to ARIN for blocking Cogent from the database. Others should do
the same until Cogent stops spamming the contacts for sales reasons.

msn/hotmail email admin needed

2012-07-23 Thread Christian Seitz
Hello,

would an email admin from msm/hotmail please contact me off-list? We have
problems sending emails to msn/hotmail from several ip addresses and trying to
find someone who can help. Thanks in advance.

Sorry for spamming this list, but establishing a direct contact or opening
tickets did not work.

Regards,

Re: Minimum Allocation Size by RIRs (IPv4)

Hello Fredy,

 I'm trying to compile a comprehensive and up-to-date list of Minimum

 ARIN:  https://www.arin.net/knowledge/ip_blocks.html
 
 APNIC:

 helpful...)
 
 RIPE NCC: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-510#5
 
 Nothing found for AFRINIC and LACNIC yet, and legacy space, too.

I made such a list some month ago and also found those links:

Re: advertisements of 14/8 and 223/8

Hello,

Tomoya Yoshida wrote:

 I started to advertise for test two /8s and in addition to
 collecting of unwanted traffic I checked the status of
 route-views of these two /8s including two experimental
 prefixes in 27/8 which is allocated to APNIC on Jan 2010
 and old 115/8 space.
 
 http://www.nttv6.jp/~yoshida/bogon_rviews_20100415_yoshida.pdf
 
 For 27/8, It seemse that some ISP still dosen't update
 their filter or dosen't advertise to route-views by some reasons.
 Now I'm using 27/8 space and I found that there is no reachability
 about 10% ASes, at least 2,000 ASes as our test, It can't be
 said the good situation at all. I will continue to test this month
 and would like to share about the result somewhere.
 
 Also the interesting result is that there is differences between
 14/8 and 223/8 on route-views result. Do you have any idea?

I have heard from some carriers that they only accept selected /8s, but not from
all IP ranges. Perhaps the test announcements should be 4x /10 for example
instead of a single /8. Then the announcements should reach more ASes.

Chris

 route-filter 2001:0500::/24 prefix-length-range /44-/48;

 This means accepting prefixes ARIN says we should not, but ARIN does not
 set our routing policy and I will be on a panel on that issue at NANOG in
 Dearborn later this month.

 It might be worth relaxing filtering within 2001::/16.  The RIPE NCC 
 appears to be making /48 PI assignments from within 2001:678::/29 (e.g. the 
 RIPE Meeting next week will be using 2001:67c:64::/48)
 
 Looks like we need to relax 2001:678::/29 a bit, but I am not sure that
 we will open up the entire /16. I already have such for ARIN, AfriNIC,
 and APNIC.
 
 Is there some central repository for information on this? We usually
 seem to find out about such changes out of the ARIN region a bit after
 the fact.

each RIR has an overview of their managed address space with the longest
prefixes they are assigning/allocating from their ranges. I currently use those
overviews to build IPv6 BGP filters manually. If you build very strict filters,
you have to check the overviews more often as with loose filters.

https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-ncc-managed-address-space.html
http://www.arin.net/reference/ip_blocks.html
http://www.arin.net/reference/micro_allocations.html
http://www.apnic.net/db/min-alloc.html
http://lacnic.net/en/registro/index.html
http://www.afrinic.net/Registration/resources.htm

There ist also a loose and a strict filter recommendation by Gert Doering [1],
but the strict filter is very strict at the moment. It allows only /48s from
RIPEs IPv6 PI space 2001:678::/29 for example, although RIPE currently also
assignes /47 or /46 from this range. Also there should be some deaggregation
allowed. When RIPE allocates a /32 to a LIR and LIR has to deaggregate it for
some reason, because he cannot get a second /32, he should be able to use (eg.)
4 bits for deaggreation. I don't want to see a /48 where RIPE allocates only /32
prefixes, but I would accept prefixes up to a /36.

Re: Anomalies with AS13214 ?

 We're getting cyclops[1] alerts that AS13214 is advertising itself as

 Anyone else seeing evidence of this or being affected?

I have also seen this today for our prefixes where Cyclops reported the as path
48285 13214. After sending an e-mail to both ASN I got the following answer
from AS48285:

Our transit 13214 had interesting router problems affecting bgp
origins for the entire bgp table. The next-hop and thus routing was
still working fine though.

Since we collect bgp data from several transits and announce it to
multiple route servers and for our own publicly available bgp-tools,
it looked worse than it was, but as far as we can tell it was actually
never propagated by them to the Internet except to downstreams, where
traffic still worked, although via an unusually short path.
