IRR Mandatory at MICE / New Route Servers
by Richard Laager Feb. 27, 2024

Feb. 27, 2024

[I plan to send this to MICE-ANNOUNCE too, but I want to see if anyone has corrections.] MICE will soon be deploying new route servers which will require IRR (Internet Routing Registry) records, as is a best practice at IXPs. *What* * You MUST have an as-set object listing your AS and your downstream ASes (if any). o You MUST either list that as-set in PeeringDB or email the name of your as-set to me (off-list to rlaager(a)wiktel.com please). * A route/route6 object MUST exist for each prefix you announce to the route servers (whether originated by you or transited through you) and it must list an Origin AS that is in your as-set. *When* * *If you are a transit AS (i.e. have ASes behind you) and don't have an /as-set/ object, fix this **/now/**.* Without an as-set object, your downstream ASes announcements will be blocked (filtered) immediately when the /first/ new route server is cut in. (Granted, they will still work through the second route server until it is upgraded.) Figure you have 1-2 weeks at most. * Enforcement of the route/route6 objects (for both transit and non-transit ASes) will come later, but not a lot later. So please, start on this now. ** *Where* If you are not sure /where/ to create IRR records, use ARIN (assuming you are in the ARIN region). *How (with ARIN)* 1. Login to ARIN Online. (Go to arin.net and click Login in the top right.) 2. On the left side, expand "Routing Security" and click "IRR". 3. Click "as-set" at the top. 4. Click "Create an Object". 5. Fill in the fields: The "AS Set Name" is what you will list in PeeringDB (or email to me). "Description" is unparsed, but they suggest the location and have a button to "Copy the Address from My Org ID". "Members" is where you list your ASN and downstream ASes (if any). 6. Click "Review". Once ready, click "Submit". 7. Click "route/route6" at the top. 8. Click "Create an Object". 9. Fill in the fields: "Prefix" is the prefix, e.g. 192.0.2.0/24. "Origin" is your ASN. 10. Click "Review". Once ready, click "Submit". 11. Repeat to create additional route objects until all of your announcements are covered. Don't forget IPv6! *Examples* Here is my as-set: https://www.radb.net/query?keywords=AS-WIKTEL Here is one example route: https://www.radb.net/query?keywords=69.89.192.0%2F20 (I created the AS33362 one. The AS19905 one is because another AS can originate this route for DDoS scrubbing reasons.) -- Richard

Global Net (AS395466) - Carrier Outage / Carrier Maintenance
by Global Net NOC Aug. 28, 2023

Aug. 28, 2023

MICEMN Members - Our carrier experienced a DC power plant failure on Saturday, August 26th @ 1356 MDT at which time our circuit between Bozeman, MT and Minneapolis, MN went down. This circuit was restored this morning at 0301 MDT, but via a temporary power supply. We are being told that the carrier will be replacing the failed DC power plant tomorrow around noon MDT with an expected impact of 90 minutes to our circuit. Our port to the MICE is currently down but I have all BGP sessions disabled for manual and graceful restart once service is fully restored. I would like to wait until the temporary power supply is replaced before bringing sessions back up. GLOBAL NET AS 395466 IPv4 206.108.255.97 IPv6 2001:504:27:0:6:8ca:0:1 Thanks, Scott Reed Global Net NOC noc(a)theglobal.net<mailto:noc@theglobal.net> Global Net Peering Peering peering(a)theglobal.net<mailto:peering@theglobal.net>

Network Nerd Thoughts?
by Michael Horwath Aug. 21, 2023

Aug. 21, 2023

ObOnTopic: Anyone have a contact there to see if they are willing to join MICE? ObOffTopic: everything else https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/gateway-fiber-bringing-100-fiber-o… I moved into CR July 2020 and .. connectivity options are not really options. Greenbutthole (you know, Centurylink, Lumen, some name that starts with Q) loves to say high speed, every address in a 4 block area around me is only capable of 10Mbps down. Comcast? I mean, it works, for a small value of works. Anyone dealt with these folks in the past in other areas? Will they come through? Are there any gotchas? I wish we had more choice. I mean, we had over 200 choices back in the late 90s and early-mid 2000s but they are all gone now. -- Mike Horwath, reachable via drechsau(a)Geeks.ORG
