RE: COVID-19 vs. peering wars

In Canada the CRTC really needs to get on Canadian ISPs about peering very liberally at IXs in each province. I know of one major institution right now that would have a major work from home issue resolved if one big ISP would peer with one big tier 1 in the IX they are both located at in the

Noticing a few major ISPs not peering with other major networks at their local IXs, instead taking cross country trips. I am sure this isn't helping congestion right now and I have heard from some people it is really affecting their remote users. People in the same city with 80ms-100ms

RE: Avalanche botnet takedown

We need a cost effective and performant way of blocking botnet traffic in SP networks. Fact is the only way to enforce network policy is from within the network. Laws, putting the onous on users, notifying infected users, etc will never work. We can't expect to solve them all, but at least make

May as well throw in my idea here too. Can ISPs just block their clients from being reached by CNC servers? If we could get a service like Spamhaus for botnets and have service providers automatically blackhole those CNC IPs. Having this done at the tier 1 level would probably cause some pain
