Re: Hurricane Maria: Summary of communication status - and lack of
The ILEC, Claro, is reporting all 24 central offices in Puerto Rico are now operating on generators, and maintaining re-fueling operations. The CO's in the (San Juan?) metro area have voice, data and long distance service including to the mainland. The CO's elsewhere in Puerto Rico have only local voice service. The offices are isolated, with no long distance or inter-office data service. Although the CO's are operational, substantial outside plant is damaged. Which means most subscribers do not have service. Inter-office facilities outside the (San Juan) metro area are damaged, which means people with service in those areas can only make local calls. Wireless sites are still being evaluated. The Puerto Rico Transportation Department is providing road crews to clear/rebuild roads and escort cellular providers repair convoys to remote cell sites. The Puerto Rican government has not re-established communications with officials in the following municipalities: Aibonito, Jayuya, Lajas, Mayaguez, Quebradillas, Rincón, Sabana Grande, Vieques and Villalba.
Settle Free Peering - Default Route Abuse Monitoring
Hello, Everyone! Many SFP agreements include terms that the peering link will not be used as an upstream with static defaults. A few examples are provided below. *h. must agree not to abuse the peering relationship by engaging in activities such as but not limited to: pointing a default route at the other or otherwise forwarding traffic for destinations not explicitly advertised, resetting next-hop, selling or giving next-hop to others;* Source: http://www.level3.com/en/legal/ip-traffic-exchange-policy/ *2.6. Neither Network shall point default into or transit the other Network where that network has* *not advertised a route for the destination in question.* Source: http://www.zayo.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/ZayoPeeringPolicy.pdf How is this monitored and tracked? Are ACLs applied to help enforce this (seems to be limited at scale)? Flow export and alarming? Analytics and anomalous behavior detection? Common professional courtesy? Thanks so much for any insight you may have. I'd like to ensure I'm following all best practices when in IX and peer situations. -Raymond Beaudoin

This RFC https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7789 covers the topic of “unexpected traffic flows” which is essentially the same as having default being pointed at you without you permission. May be worth reading! A most scalable option is to use a flow collection / monitoring program like pmacct (http://pmacct.net/) to inspect flows and flag the ones that shouldn’t exist according to your policy. Paolo Lucente has done excellent work to make this problem space manageable: http://wiki.pmacct.net/DetectingRoutingViolations Also, if you are at an internet exchange, make sure to enable MAC accounting (if available) on the IX facing interface, so you can easily monitor for traffic coming from MAC addresses with which you don’t have a BGP session. Kind regards, Job

Why San Juan National Weather Service RADAR is out of service
The National Weather Service office in San Juan Puerto Rico is back on line. They have posted pictures of the weather radardome, or rather what's left of the radardome after Hurricane Maria. https://twitter.com/NWSSanJuan/status/912082857518092288

Sorry, WISPs in the US48 to go to PR to help rebuild downed WISPs. Yes, they need to be able to get there first. Those already on the island are doing what they can until more supplies arrive. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP - Original Message - From: "Sean Donelan" To: nanog@nanog.org Sent: Sunday, September 24, 2017 4:13:33 PM Subject: Re: Hurricane Maria: Summary of communication status - and lack of On Sun, 24 Sep 2017, Mike Hammett wrote: > There are a bunch of WISPs waiting to go rebuild, but waiting for the > clearance to do so.
