Re: importance of fiber cleaning

This is a very comprehensive article, and worth handing out to techs. I have one comment on Balder’s OTDR suggestion, and one on the article’s microscope instructions. Although it certainly can’t hurt to run an OTDR test (except for extended downtime), I fear hauling out the extra gear will

How come we have never seen this problem? We have a ton of DSL and many of those are slow, but no customer complaints about overloaded lines from CDN networks. Could it be that the way you throttle the bandwidth is defect? It is easy to blame the other guy but could it be that you are doing

Hi We have the opposite problem with PSN: Sometimes they will send abuse reports with several of our IP addresses listed. The problem with that is that we can not give data about one customer to another customer. By listing multiple IP addresses we are prevented from forwarding the email to

It is a good article. It is missing a few points: If you are going to do the full efford of cleaning and then microscope each connector, you would also want to finish off by doing a OTDR scan of the link. This is your documentation for a clean link. Always use optics that can monitor the

Hello All, Sorry if this is low level. But are people sick of registrars jacking up prices? Who is the cheapest and most reliable? I have been using whois.com, networksolutions.com and am looking for input on who is cheap, secure, reliable registrar. Thanks for your input. ~Jeff

I've had DSL and AE service providers respond with the issues. So far there is not a common element other than CDNs. That's the point of the questions I'm asking, to gather a ton of information and then figure out how to act on it. You're assuming that the CDNs are using an unmolested,

Re: Domain renawals

FWIW, as I'm in the middle of this right now. It would appear that many of the less expensive registrars no longer support glue records in any meaningful way. They all expect you to host DNS with them. So might want to check on that before buying the cheapest and hosting your own DNS. /rh On

Thanks Marty. I have only experienced this on my network once and it was directly with Microsoft, so I haven't done much until a couple days ago when I started this campaign. I don't know if anyone else has brought this to anyone's attention. I just sent an e-mail to Owen when I saw yours.

No problem. If you can drop a pcap file somewhere we can reach (and drop me an email where) that was created during the event that'd be great. Thanks again, and great use of the list. Best, Martin Hannigan AS 20940 // AS 32787 > On Sep 21, 2016, at 15:29, Mike Hammett

There are still many registrars that don't support DNSSEC (possibly only for a subset of TLDs), and/or have an unusable or cumbersome interface for adding DNSSEC glue. Just another thing to watch out for...
