Small Internet border router options?

What are using for small campus border routers? So four to eight 10G ports with a FIB for full scale L3? Tom

Re: Why are paper LOAs still used?

There is one purpose: to facilitate IP fraud, and maintain currently fraudulently routed IPs. Anyone can dummy up a LOA. And there is still quite a lot of unrouted IP space. VPS providers know this, and know their customers are submitting fake LOAs. But it is sort of the business VPS

Akamai AANP minimum traffic?

Does anyone know what the minimum traffic is to qualify for an Akamai AANP cache? Tom

Re: The Reg does 240/4

… The only way to rapidly accelerate the uptake of IPv6 is for networks is to either offer better rates for v6 transit, or disable v4 connectivity completely. This is a false dichotomy: those aren’t the only two options, nor the best two options. The best option is what is happening right n

The AS rank is calculated by a program. I think they would be unwilling to modify it manually. I think you have to wait for the monthly re-generate. Tom > On Jan 16, 2024, at 1:34 PM, wrote: > > Hello Community, > > I am looking for an operational contact for asrank.caida.org >

Me too. Fastly has been promising me peering every year for the past five years. They are just a few cabinets over, so it has been pretty frustrating. Tom Sent from my iPad > On Dec 5, 2023, at 1:25 PM, Ian Chilton wrote: > >  > Hi Peter, > > Sorry you didn't get a response. > > I on

Re: What are these Google IPs hammering on my DNS server?

They are probably spoofed IPs. So those are the target IP IPs of a DDoS What king of amplification factor does your DNS server have? I bet with the changes you’ve made, it’s super high. People are looking for DNS servers like that. Tom > On Dec 3, 2023, at 10:49 AM, John Levine wrote: >

Re: CPE/NID options

Adva, RAD, and Telco Systems are all good NID options. You can go with just any switch, but “proper” NIDs have dying gasp. If the NID is going on a customer premise, I consider dying gasp a must. The dying gasp allows your NOC to determine the difference between a network break and fiber

Generally accepted BGP acceptance criteria?

In the world of IRR and RPKI, BGP route acceptance criteria is important to get right. DE-CIX has published a detailed flow chart documenting their acceptance criteria: https://www.de-cix.net/en/locations/frankfurt/route-server-guide But I don’t see a lot of operators publishing their
