MICE Route Filtering
by David Farmer Oct. 8, 2018

Oct. 8, 2018

At NANOG it was strongly suggested we, privately for MICE and more generally for all IXes, should implement IRR filtering on our route servers ASAP. We are now one of the bigger IXes not already filtering, especially in the US. We should probably block routes with invalid RPKI ROAs too. Arouteserver was recommended as one of the better and easier to implement options. There are offers to help us with this from Theo de Raadt < deraadt(a)yycix.ca> of the Calgary Internet Exchange (YYCIX) and by others. https://blog.apnic.net/2017/03/17/ixp-automation-made-easy-new-open-source-… https://github.com/pierky/arouteserver https://arouteserver.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ FYI additionally, Fastly already filters based on IRR objects, and HE has recently started filtering. https://www.fastly.com/peering http://routing.he.net/algorithm.html Also at NANOG, it was announced by Google that they plan to begin filtering routes based IRR data early next year. See slide 114 of the following; https://pc.nanog.org/static/published/meetings/NANOG74/1760/20181003_Tzveta… There is lots of other good stuff in the deck, but the fact that Google plans to start filtering based on IRR objects is BIG news. So, we need to escalate doing route filtering on our Route Servers. Furthermore, if you don't already have IRR objects, you should probably start working on them. The following is a handy tool to check the consistency of your IRR objects. http://irrexplorer.nlnog.net/ Thanks. -- =============================================== David Farmer Email:farmer@umn.edu Networking & Telecommunication Services Office of Information Technology University of Minnesota 2218 University Ave SE Phone: 612-626-0815 Minneapolis, MN 55414-3029 Cell: 612-812-9952 ===============================================

Fwd: route server IRR objects: RIPE use for ARIN addresses deprecated, ARIN IRR & RPKI tutorials
by Richard Laager Sept. 26, 2018

Sept. 26, 2018

This is from the SeattleIX announce list. I'm forwarding it, with Chris's permission, in case this is relevant to anyone here. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: route server IRR objects: RIPE use for ARIN addresses deprecated, ARIN IRR & RPKI tutorials Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2018 22:22:14 +0000 (UTC) From: Chris Caputo <ccaputo(a)seattleix.net> To: announce(a)seattleix.net tl;dr: - RIPE made changes which don't break anything now, but may in future. - I recommend you move your IRR records to the RIR which assigned or allocated your prefixes. - link to ARIN RPKI tutorial at bottom. Many of you that used RIPE to create your Internet Routing Registry (IRR) objects received an email from RIPE at the beginning of September about a change in their registry in which non-RIPE prefixes are now labeled with "source: RIPE-NONAUTH". This is part of an effort to improve the quality of IRR data for the purposes of reducing accidental or fraudulent BGP announcements. The idea being that the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) know best who addresses have been assigned/allocated to. If you have your records at RIPE (or elsewhere and want to move to ARIN), I recommend you do the following: (note the example with my AS6456 will soon no longer work because I will be deleting my records at RIPE since they have been moved to ARIN) - First, determine your maintainer object name. This can be figured out by going to http://www.radb.net/query/ and running a query on your ASN or prefixes. For example, a query on my AS6456 reveals a RIPE maintainer "mnt-by" field "MAINT-ALTOPIA-RIPE". You may find you have multiple maintainers and multiple IRRs. Focus on the RIPE one if that is what you want to move. aut-num: AS6456 [...] mnt-by: MAINT-ALTOPIA-RIPE source: RIPE-NONAUTH - Using my "MAINT-ALTOPIA-RIPE" I can do an inverse query at RIPE to see all of my objects: $ whois -h whois.ripe.net -i mnt-by -B MAINT-ALTOPIA-RIPE aut-num: AS6456 as-name: ALTOPIA-6456 descr: Altopia AS 6456 [...] as-set: AS-ALTOPIA descr: Altopia Corporation members: AS6456 [...] route: 208.90.168.0/22 descr: ALTOPIA-V4-1 assigned by ARIN origin: AS6456 [...] route6: 2620:0:cf0::/48 descr: ALTOPIA-V6-1 assigned by ARIN origin: AS6456 [...] etc... - Save a copy of all of your objects so you can use the result to aide in your move to ARIN. - Refer to https://www.seattleix.net/irr-tutorial#arin for a new tutorial on how to get set up at ARIN's IRR. - Use http://irrexplorer.nlnog.net to visualize which IRRs are reporting your prefixes or ASN. - After all of your ARIN objects are moved to ARIN, work to delete your ARIN objects at RIPE or elsewhere as part of being tidy. Bonus! I also made an ARIN Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) tutorial. Turns out RPKI is pretty easy to configure, with respect to making it so your own ARIN prefixes are somewhat (*) protected from being announced by unauthorized ASNs. (*: with respect to networks running RPKI validators) - https://www.seattleix.net/irr-tutorial#arinrpki Feedback & corrections welcome! Chris

Routing of non-IX traffic
by Frank Bulk Aug. 23, 2018

Aug. 23, 2018

When I force a traceroute to originate from our MICE-facing connection, the first hop is 206.108.255.50 (AS32609 aka CNS). Any reason why? To making things more interesting, Incapsula-destined traffic goes via Paul Bunyan. Here's just one example: traceroute to www.yamaha-dealers.com (45.60.73.16), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets 1 AS32609.micemn.net (206.108.255.50) 14.059 ms 14.084 ms 14.076 ms 2 cns70.cnsllc.net (205.149.150.9) 18.484 ms 18.434 ms 18.507 ms 3 fg30.ips.cnsllc.net (205.149.150.30) 20.254 ms 20.346 ms 20.267 ms 4 crss2.PaulBunyan.net (205.149.159.197) 20.527 ms 20.562 ms 20.619 ms 5 cra.PaulBunyan.net (205.149.159.181) 23.398 ms fp233.ips.PaulBunyan.net (205.149.159.233) 22.669 ms cra.PaulBunyan.net (205.149.159.181) 23.393 ms 6 * * * 7 * * * 8 * * * 9 * * * 10 * * * 11 * * * 12 * * * 13 * * * 14 * * * 15 * * * 16 * * * 17 * * * 18 * * * 19 * * * 20 * * * 21 * * * 22 * * * 23 * * * 24 * * * 25 * * * 26 * * * 27 * * * 28 * * * 29 * * * 30 * * * SiouxCenter-Arista-North(s1) The reason I stumbled across this is because we've had more than a dozen customers over the last month complain about access to Incapsula-protected sites.

Facebook/Instagram
by AnthonyAnderberg＠nuvera.net Aug. 9, 2018

Aug. 9, 2018

Has anyone else gotten reports of issues with Facebook/Instagram the last day or two? We're seeing intermittent problems where Facebook pages will load normally but then some of the pictures/videos in the page will be slow loading. I haven't really narrowed it beyond a handful of source addresses in Facebook's network, mostly in the 157.240.2.0/24 range, and haven't seen any other service issues or narrowed it to any one upstream carrier. It doesn't appear any of the content is coming through MICE, but I'm curious if anyone is/has seen something similar. We've reached out to Facebook but haven't gotten a response yet. Thanks in advance, anthony [Anthony_Anderberg]<https://www.nuvera.net/>

At UG 29 in October, we will be holding an election for a board seat. The board consists of three seats with staggered terms, such that one seat comes up for re-election each year (at the fall meeting). This year, Reid's seat is up for election. Reid _is_ running for re-election. If anyone else is interested in running, please nominate yourself. Voting will be done in person. If you will not be attending in person, you must designate a proxy, in advance, in writing. The bylaws state that you send that to the Chief Manager (me, Richard Laager), and electronic means are acceptable. So a simple email is sufficient. If you are having trouble finding a proxy who will be there in person, ask on the list or I can help you find someone. -- Richard

Not learning all routes from RR#2
by Frank Bulk June 28, 2018

June 28, 2018

We (AS53347) moved to a new border router overnight and had some issues with getting our MICE route reflector peerings up -- we'd learn a route or two per second. We had to tweak our Arista's BGP configuration to not "enforce-first-as". Most other direct peers were fine. Eventually RR #1 came up just fine, but RR #2 continues to languish, learning just learning about 10,900 routes. SiouxCenter-Arista-North(s1)#show ip bgp sum BGP summary information for VRF default Router identifier 207.32.15.22, local AS number 18883 Neighbor Status Codes: m - Under maintenance Neighbor V AS MsgRcvd MsgSent InQ OutQ Up/Down State PfxRcd PfxAcc 206.108.255.1 4 53679 44493 4138 0 0 10:56:46 Estab 56188 56188 206.108.255.2 4 53679 39124 7640 0 0 11:38:40 Estab 10929 10929 I'm not sure if we have remote access to the RR's, but whoever does, any hints as to why we're experiencing this behavior?

email scrapers - update participants list?
by Andrew Hoyos June 14, 2018

June 14, 2018

Hiya folks, Looks like we’ve been getting a small volume of spam based on seemingly culled email addresses from the MICE Participants list, located here: https://www.micemn.net/participants.html <https://www.micemn.net/participants.html> Any thoughts on obfuscating the email addresses listed there with a (at) and (dot) to help prevent? Or perhaps some other clickable CSS/Javascript thing that accomplishes the same? Or, perhaps the minimal amount of spam is worth the convenience of clicking… Thoughts? — Andrew Hoyos hoyosa(a)gmail.com

US Inernet Network Maintenance
by Justin Krejci June 14, 2018

June 14, 2018

Hello, US Internet will be rebooting the router connected to MICE next week to apply OS updates. We will shutdown all BGP sessions in advance to allow traffic to re-route. This will happen sometime on the June 19th overnight into June 20th. The precise timing is unknown as this is just one of numerous other network changes occurring that night. Duration of impact should be less than 30 minutes. Thanks! Justin

Changing hats
by Frank Bulk June 1, 2018

June 1, 2018

My $DAYJOB employer, Premier Communications (AS53347) is planning to move our interconnection with MICE to FiberNet (AS18883). I'm the technical contact for both. Can we get another IX IP to accomplish this transition? Organizationally, what, if anything, do I need to do with MICE? I know that I will need to make changes with all our direct peers, too. So I would need both IPs for a while. Regards, Frank

RFC: Remote Switch in Duluth
by Richard Laager May 31, 2018

May 31, 2018

The following is from Ryan Goldberg of Compudyne: ---- Compudyne/AS47096 is interested in operating a MICE remote switch in Duluth. We have two 10G paths from 511 to Duluth (one on Charter, one on Enventis) in a ring of 5 Juniper MX boxes (2 at 511, 3 in Duluth – the 3 in Duluth are interconnected over dark fiber). We hit a little over 5G on 5min averages in total between the two 511<->Duluth legs. Latency is 4-5ms. We currently participate in MICE via MNVoip’s extension, mainly because it makes more overall sense to pick up MICE + SIX + Denver + KC all on one interface (for now). We’d probable leave it like that for a while. For the proposed extension switch we’d do a two site VPLS config on the MXes, with on a fresh, dedicated 10gig port at 511 and corresponding 10gig port in Duluth. We’d start with an EX4200-24F in Duluth, and run the usual Juniper-y stuff (from http://micemn.net/technical.html) Initial participants would only be on 1gig ports on the 4200. As for location, we’re currently leaning toward “the Missabe Building” at 227 W 1st St, Duluth, MN – this is our primary downtown Duluth POP, and aside from our fiber, and there’s high-count fiber from at least 5 other carriers in the building. The space has dual AC and is backed by generator power. Upgrade path is 100G 511<->Duluth, at least on one leg. If business drives it, we’ll just do it. Otherwise it’s budgeted for next year. As for the switch, we’d move to a ex4550. ---- Without taking any position on this here yet, I'd like to highlight a couple of facts: The proposed transport is over a VPLS link (i.e. shared with other traffic, not a dedicated wave). In the past, and quite possibly still, we have had participants connected over shared links, but not entire remote switches. -- Richard

Neutral Path link issue between Belle Plaine and MICE
by Frank Bulk May 6, 2018

May 6, 2018

I woke up this morning to see emails about our BGP sessions with MICE to be down. Look at alarms and graphs I see that the link from Belle Plaine to MICE is down since about 12:39 am. According to the NeutralPath NOC (operated by WINS?), something about how a temporary fiber fix for emergency fiber work failed? I wasn't even aware of any emergency fiber work. The NOC said that a tech was dispatched and he was hoping they would be able to fix it in the next few hours. Frank

Old MICE Traffic Levels
by Jeremy Lumby April 10, 2018

April 10, 2018

I took the MICE display that was next to the Cologix Suite 200 entry in order to update it. When I opened it I was surprised that on the back was a previous version from when the MICE traffic was under 10G. It was a great surprise, so I attached a picture for your appreciation of how far we have come. I plan on keeping all previous versions on the back of the frame to preserve some history.

MICE Google Global cache issues?
by Colin Murphy April 6, 2018

April 6, 2018

Hi, Since Monday we've been having issues with mobile devices accessing YouTube and Google Play store via IPv6. Our symptoms with YouTube app is mostly with Apple IOS devices. When a user loads a video, the ads will play fine and then the video will start and play for 5 seconds and stop. Browsing youtube via a web browser on the IOS devices seems fine. With Android devices, users can't download apps from the play store. Is anyone else experiencing these issues with their peering with the Google Global Cache at MICE?

Broadcast Traffic
by Jeremy Lumby April 3, 2018

April 3, 2018

I have been watching the broadcast traffic on MICE steadily increase. We are now at the point where our broadcast traffic is 10X that of many exchanges that are larger than us. I would encourage the membership to look over the configuration of their peering routers to make sure that they are configured in a way that they are not generating excessive broadcast traffic. In the past on the list we have referenced the Amsterdam Internet Exchange configuration guidelines. I feel that the router specific configuration hints are a great starting point to be sure that your router is configured properly. https://ams-ix.net/technical/specifications-descriptions/config-guide Jeremy Lumby Minnesota VoIP 9217 17th Ave S Suite 216 Bloomington, MN 55425 Main: 612-355-7740 x211 Direct: 612-392-6814 EFax: 952-873-7425 jlumby(a)mnvoip.com
