RE: Open Resolver Problems

2013-03-25 Thread Mike Simkins
There are a number of open resolvers that are that way by design (i.e.
Google), but most of them are there by misconfiguration, having a small
number (say < 100) of well-known open resolvers in the world is not a
problem, having > 1 million probably is

What are those who provide open resolvers, such as google, doing to combat
the problem?

It would be nice to be able to provide open resolvers as a service and
combat the various threats associated with them.

Can't say for sure if it's true, but I've been told the same thing by
Level3 support.

RIPE 552 (I think), allows you to request up to a /29 without additional
justification if needed.

I don't really agree with the "IPv6 think" concept - but let's put that
aside for now...

The default allocation size from an RIR* to an LIR is a /32.  For an LIR
providing /48 site allocations to their customers, they therefore have
16-bits of address space available to them to address their customers.

So, even in "IPv6 think", homes that typically have one subnet have an
equal number of bits to address their single subnet as an LIR has to
address all of their customers.

It seems illogical to me that we've got an 128-bit address space,
featuring numbers far larger than any human can comprehend, yet the
default allocation to an LIR allows them to address such a feeble number
as 65,536 customers - a number far smaller than the number of customers
for medium to large ISPs.

The default LIR allocation should be a several orders of magnitude greater
than the typical customer base  - not a smaller default allocation.

Regards,

Adrian
