Dear colleagues, Please find this new article by Martin Hannigan and Job Snijders on RIPE Labs: Interconnection Agreements at Scale: Secret or Simple? Are settlement free interconnection agreements at scale, or otherwise, really a secret? They can be. This article provides a peep hole into the world of codified private interconnections. https://labs.ripe.net/Members/martin_hannigan/interconnection-agreements Kind regards, Mirjam Kuhne RIPE NCC

AS34991 -- hijacked
by Ronald F. Guilmette 06 Jun '17

06 Jun '17

Is there any chance that any of you might be persuaded to have a word or two with either or both of the upstreams for AS34991, specifically with respect to the fact that that whole and entire AS has quite obviously been hijacked, and that it is currently being used and abused to announce a total of 20 completely and transparently bogus routes into various bits of IPv4 space that are allocated to various parties within the nation of Columbia, including but not limited to the National University thereof? I have already attempted to make contact with both upstreams in this case with no success and no reply so far, perhaps because I am not a european, or perhaps because I myself am not a network operator, or perhaps because I do not speak (or write) bulgarian. Below is a listing of the currently hijacked routes. Please note that the hijacker in this case quite obviously planned this all, quite carefully, and in advance of the actual hijackings, and he tried (and succeded!) to effectively legitimize all of these bogus route announcement via the simple and easy ruse of also pre-creating a set of matching, and equally bogus route objects within the RIPE data base. (As I learned the last time a case like this came up, the RIPE community, in its infinite wisdom, had made it so easy to create such route objects in the data base, with no authority or authorization whatsoever, that any baboon with a keyboard and a pulse may easily do so.) Of course, as the more observant among you may note, the domain name used for the contact email address for AS34991 has recently been re-registered, presumably after having lapsed. This indicates rather clearly, I think, that it is not merely the IPv4 blocks listed below that have been and are being hijacked, but also the AS34991 ASN itself. covfefe P.S. For the record, yes, some of the hijacked blocks in this case have already been sub-leased out to snowshoe spammers, and are being actively used for snowshoe spamming as we speak. ===================================================================== 152.204.132.0/24 -- Columbia 152.204.133.0/24 -- Columbia 152.231.25.0/24 -- Columbia 152.231.28.0/24 -- Columbia 168.176.187.0/24 -- Columbia, National University of 168.176.192.0/24 -- Columbia, National University of 168.176.194.0/24 -- Columbia, National University of 168.176.218.0/24 -- Columbia, National University of 168.176.219.0/24 -- Columbia, National University of 179.1.71.0/24 -- Columbia 181.57.40.0/24 -- Columbia 186.113.13.0/24 -- Columbia 186.113.15.0/24 -- Columbia 186.147.230.0/24 -- Columbia 190.90.31.0/24 -- Columbia 190.90.88.0/24 -- Columbia 200.1.65.0/24 -- Columbia 200.14.44.0/24 -- Columbia 200.24.3.0/24 -- Columbia 200.24.5.0/24 -- Columbia

This work might interest some of you. Let us know your feedback! https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-iops-grow-bgp-session-culling <https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-iops-grow-bgp-session-culling-00> ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Job Snijders <job(a)ntt.net> Date: Sun, 12 Mar 2017 at 23:16 Subject: draft-iops-grow-bgp-session-culling-00 To: <grow(a)ietf.org>, <draft-iops-grow-bgp-session-culling(a)ietf.org> Dear GROW, With this BCP Internet-Draft we hope to draw some attention to good practises which can be applied by IP networks or IXPs to mitigate negative impact caused by maintenance operations on lower layer networks. The idea is to promote the concept of breaking the control-plane in a controlled fashion, before actually breaking the data-plane. Regarding the "Voluntary BGP Session Teardown Recommendations" - we all too often see operators do the equivalent of 'yanking the cable out of its socket' while not allowing any time for reconvergence. As far as I am aware, there is no documentation which recommends to shutdown BGP sessions and allow for some time for the traffic to subside due to rerouting, and then commence with the maintenance. Some background on the "Involuntary BGP Session Teardown Recommendations": a number of years ago an (at the time novel) approach was presented on how to reduce the negative impact of IXP maintenance. Since then the idea gained popularity and is applied at more and more IXPs. The video + pdf are available here: https://ripe67.ripe.net/archives/video/116/ The approaches outlined in this document may not be required in every network topology, for instance some IXPs have fantastic 'make before break' methodologies accomplished through a layer of photonic switches. I'd like to ask the chairs for a 10 minute slot in GROW's session a IETF 98 to present on this draft. Kind regards, Job ps. Some may point out that this is a rampant layering violation, to which I will say: "yes". ;-) ----- Forwarded message from internet-drafts(a)ietf.org ----- Date: Sun, 12 Mar 2017 14:00:18 -0700 From: internet-drafts(a)ietf.org To: i-d-announce(a)ietf.org Subject: I-D Action: draft-iops-grow-bgp-session-culling-00.txt A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

Research project and survey: Network filtering and IP spoofing
by Franziska Lichtblau 01 Mar '17

01 Mar '17

Hi, we are a team of researchers from TU Berlin [1] working on a measurement project to assess the ramifications of traffic with spoofed source IP addresses in the Internet. This is a follow-up to the talk I gave in this WG in Madrid. As I got a lot of positive and encouraging feedback after my talk we are continuing this project. To better understand the operational challenges that you as network operators face when deploying (or not deploying) source IP address filtering techniques, we'd like to invite you to participate in our survey. If you could spare 5 minutes of your time, we'd be delighted if you could fill out our survey form and tell us about your current practices regarding network filtering. To participate, please visit: [2] http://filteringsurvey.inet.tu-berlin.de/ If you have any concerns or questions, you can reply on-list or contact us via [3] filtering-survey(a)inet.tu-berlin.de. We will only publish anonymized results of this study and once we've analyzed your feedback we'll publish a digest of the results on-list if you're interested. As you are probably subscribed to more network operator lists and WG lists you might encounter this mail multiple times. We apologize for cross-posting, but in order to get results that will give us meaningful insights we need the broadest coverage we can get. Thank you very much for your support!

Join RIPE NCC IXP Tools Hackathon, 22-23 October, Madrid
by Vesna Manojlovic 05 Sep '16

05 Sep '16

Dear colleagues, together with Euro-IX, Comcast and ISOC, the RIPE NCC is hosting a hackathon focused on developing tools for Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), in the weekend before RIPE73, in Madrid. While the past three hackathons have specifically focused on RIPE Atlas, this event will include other data sources as well, such as: the Routing Information Service (RIS) and the PeeringDB. We will work on existing software tools that deal with IXP-data-integration in order to solve some of the challenges that operators have when making peering decisions, and to illustrate the impact of IXPs on the Internet routing and connectivity. We are looking for designers and developers, students and network operators, and of course colleagues from IXPs, to work together on hacking the new & old toolsets and visualizations! All source code developed during the hackathon will be publicly licensed and available on GitHub, and will be free for the entire community to use. -------------------- How to Apply -------------------- Interested? Learn more and apply online today! https://atlas.ripe.net/hackathon/ixp-tools/#!application-form *The application deadline is 15 September* Thanks to our generous sponsors, there is a (limited) travel funding available for certain categories of applicants. Please find more information in this RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/announcing-the-ixp-tool… We look forward to seeing you there!

IXP Best Practice Forum
by Michael Oghia 28 Jul '16

28 Jul '16

Dear colleagues, Building on last year's IGF Best Practice Forum (BPF) on enabling environments for establishing successful IXPs <http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/documents/best-practice-forums/creating-an-e…>, this year's IXP BPF aims to identify success stories and list factors that can contribute to the development and success of IXPs as well as the broader Internet ecosystem. I am reaching out to the RIPE community in particular due to many of the efforts by both the community as well as RIPE NCC in promoting IXPs and interconnection in general <http://www.itu.int/en/Lists/consultation2015/Attachments/36/RIPE-NCC-IXP-IT…> . The IXP BPF is a consensus-driven, bottom-up, and inclusive collaborative effort, one that brings together professional expertise from across stakeholder groups in order to generate a practical, constructive, and relevant outcome document. We are currently soliciting feedback and brainstorming ideas, especially related to the scope and goals of this year's IXP BPF, and invite you to contribute: https://docs.google.com/document/d/144r3BIFX8QF6wg5m-QNdNfDcYHOVoic4fSMKYA4… . If you are not already involved, I encourage you to add suggestions to the document, share it among your networks, and contact Wim Degezelle, the IXP BPF project manager, or Sala Tamanikaiwaimaro, one of our IGF Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) coordinators, for more information or if you have any questions. Additionally, you can sign up for the mailing list at: http://mail.intgovforum.org/mailman/listinfo/bp_ixps_intgovforum.org. Kind regards, -Michael __________________ Michael J.

New on RIPE Labs: Does the Internet Route Around Damage?
by Mirjam Kuehne 17 Nov '15

17 Nov '15

Dear colleagues, The Internet has a robust infrastructure that was designed to route around damage. But how well does it do this? We use RIPE Atlas to look at how large-scale disruptions in the Internet's core infrastructure affect end-to-end connectivity on the Internet. Please find the result on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/emileaben/does-the-internet-route-around-dama… Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

PeeringDB survey results and Board election plan
by Job Snijders 21 Oct '15

21 Oct '15

Dear Connect Working Group, Many of you are probably familiar with "PeeringDB", one of the most awesome resources for interconnection. What some of you might not know, is that PeeringDB is evolving from a bunch of php scripts into a real organisation with a board and appropiate legal registrations! And as PeeringDB stakeholder you can actually have say in how things are run! :-) Please review Chris Caputo's message below and subscribe yourself to the "pdb-gov" mailing list to stay informed about PeeringDB's governance. Being subscribed to the pdb-gov mailing list (in essence) means you are a 'member' and this will grant your organisation one vote in the upcoming elections. Kind regards, Job ----- Forwarded message from Chris Caputo <secretary(a)peeringdb.com> ----- Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2015 18:49:12 +0000 (UTC) From: Chris Caputo <secretary(a)peeringdb.com> To: pdb-gov(a)lists.peeringdb.com Subject: [PDB-gov] PeeringDB survey results and Board election plan Results of the survey which ended August 15th, along with anonymous comments are up at: https://www.caputo.com/pdb/20150800_PDB_Survey_results.pdf 91 responses, of which 89 voted for the main question: PeeringDB functions should be performed by: - 35 votes, 39.33%: "An independent 501(C)(6) (Not for profit) PeeringDB, with it's own elected board and members" - 14 votes, 15.73%: "The existing global standards body OpenIX 501(C)(6) (Not for profit)" - 10 votes, 11.24%: "The existing regional organization NANOG 501(C)(3) (Not for profit)" - 30 votes, 33.71%: "I don't care just as long as PeeringDB keeps working" That looks like a clear vote for independence, given that the number for independence is 45% more than the combined votes for OpenIX and NANOG. Based on this, we are going to continue working toward becoming an independent non-profit corporation. In the interest of broad support, this is going to be done with transparency and inclusion using the pdb-gov mailing list. The plan: - If you want to participate in the process, please subscribe to the pdb-gov "governance" mailing list with your PeeringDB account email. http://lists.peeringdb.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pdb-gov - Further emails will be sent to pdb-gov mailing list and posted to http://gov.peeringdb.com/ as appropriate. - pdb-gov is where the draft organizational documents will be discussed and refined. These draft documents are up at: https://www.caputo.com/pdb/ - There will be elections for the initial Board of Directors. Candidacies along with max 300 word statements should be submitted to secretary(a)peeringdb.com prior to November 15th. Anyone can run for election to the initial Board. - The interim Secretary (tentatively Chris Caputo) will send out ballots to pdb-gov on November 15th, with voting to happen through November 30th. The org docs currently proscribe one ballot per member organization. The interim Secretary will break ties through public random means. The Secretary will not be eligible for election to the initial Board. - The initial Board will decide on officers, per the tentative Bylaws. The draft documents will then be signed and filed. _______________________________________________ Pdb-gov mailing list Pdb-gov(a)lists.peeringdb.com http://lists.peeringdb.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pdb-gov ----- End forwarded message -----

15 Oct '15

Dear friends of Connect-WG, in about a month's time we'll be meeting again in lovely Bucharest, Romania. We already have some presentations and updates for the agenda but we'd like to see some more. Topics like: - (de)peering automation - Who's sending me this traffic on an IXP? - I went to the desert and all I had was this lousy 4G signal would be most welcome. Please let us know as soon as possible so we can finish the agenda. Or you'll have to listen to Remco's $1000 IXP presentation again :) Kind regards, Remco and Florence Connect-WG co-chairs

Programmatic way to answer, "Who is sending me this stuff?"
by snash 10 Sep '15

10 Sep '15

If I receive some traffic at an IXpeering router interface, I might want to know how I got it. If it is a stream of bad traffic I might want to ask my upstream peer to help turn it off. How do I find out who did send it to me? If I capture a sample packet I could see the source MAC address. Now I have to identify who owns the device with that MAC. Is there any guidance from the IX operators on how to do this? I'm sure phone calls / emails to Ops teams are not cost effective for anyone. A common programmatic method across IXes would suit my use-case admirably. I'd like to hear from anybody who either has a method in an IX, or who would like a method to exist.

Minutes from last meeting and call for presentations
by Remco Van Mook 17 Mar '15

17 Mar '15

Dear connect-wg friends, Time flies, and it’s only 8 weeks before we meet again in lovely Amsterdam! We’re working on the agenda for the next session which will again be on Wednesday at 11AM: if you have anything you’d like to present (or know somebody who should be presenting), please drop us a note at connect-wg-chairs(a)ripe.net<mailto:connect-wg-chairs@ripe.net> Also, please find below the draft minutes of the previous meeting - please have a look and let us know any comments. Kind regards, Remco and Florence Connect-WG Co-chairs Draft minutes from RIPE 69: -------- Connect WG Wednesday 5 November 2014 0. Opening and Welcome [1 mins] Co-chair Remco van Mook welcomed attendees. Appoint scribe, Agenda Bashing [5 mins] Remco thanked the scribe, chat monitor and tech support. He announced that Nick Hilliard wouldn’t be presenting agenda point 8. He asked if anyone had any AOBs to add to the agenda; there were no comments. 2. Working Group Charter Discussion [15 mins] Remco said there was rough consensus on the WG’s charter that was drafted at the BoF during RIPE 68 but that it needed to be polished. He asked for comments on the charter; there were none. Remco asked for comments on the proposed chairing process of the WG. Will Hargrave, LONAP, said he supported the suggested process. Remco asked that he and co-chair Florence be subscribed to the RIPE Working Group Chair mailing list. Remco announced that the WG charter and chair selection process was agreed. 3. Cooperating with Cooperation WG [10 mins] 4. Social Side of Internet Interconnection [15 mins] Uta Meier-Hahn The presentation is available at: https://ripe69.ripe.net/presentations/60-Pra%CC%88sentation-Social-side-of-… Andy Davidson, LONAP and Allegro Networks / IIX, commented that it the common belief is that the way you get around inherent weaknesses in the system is to just build more peering, more Internet, etc. The other motivation was about control: the more interconnection there is, people tend to believe it’s harder for any one system to take control. In order for the Internet to be open, it needs to be well peered. There were no further questions 5. IP Interconnection for Voice [15 mins] Martin John The presentation is available at: https://ripe69.ripe.net/presentations/52-aql_RIPE_69.pdf Maurice Deen, Facebook Inc., asked what was needed from interconnect facilities/IXPs to support voice and SMS traffic. Martin replied that it was about having good peering and good quality of service. SMS traffic is an over-the-top application that they run and voice is about having good peering, low latency/jitter so the more peering, the better service for the customer. Maurice asked if they were not need of QOE monitoring from IXPs. Martin said yes, the more monitoring, statistical data, the better. 6. CDN Best Practices [15 mins] Maurice Dean and Florence Lavroff The presentation is available at: https://ripe69.ripe.net/presentations/100-Working-with-CDNs-towards-BCP..pdf Jim Reid, RTFM, said having CDN best practices was a great idea and more information is needed about this. He asked if there is a BCP about it and how it would be published. He wondered whether it would be a RIPE document, IETF RFC or just a joint statement and let the ISP figure it out. Maurice said he wasn’t as familiar with RIPE’s processes with BCPs as he was with NANOG’s and there is a defined process there but he would love input on how to do this in the RIPE community. Jim replied that it’s easy with the RIPE community, you just have it published. The best thing is to have a working group declare consensus but there’s not a defined process, it’s light weight. It could be a working document and then you could have a more elaborate BCOP if you’re putting it through NANOG or other channels. Maurice thanked Jim for his input and said they could discuss it later. He added that this presentation was to garner interest. Joe Provo, speaking as himself, said that a CDN BCP would be a useful work product for this new working group. He added that many of the suggested BCOPs are just good peering practice so it might be just a good working document as well as on specific CDN usage. Joe also asked if they could encourage a standardised format for reporting across different parties because the external interfaces for reporting are currently opaque. Florence replied that that is something they could aim for in the long-term. She added that Google has documentation and hints for best practices with GC partners on its portal. Nina Bergason, Netflix, said she supported the proposal and it should be further discussed. She asked that the document go both ways (ISPs and CDNs). She added that communication between ISPs and CDNs is very important, there are things CDNs can do to work together better with ISPs. She added that Netflix has good information on their website on how to make the site work well in a network but awareness is low so there is work to do. Maurice replied that is a bilateral proposal with a goal to reach a common understanding of best practices and he’s interested in input on how that can be achieved Piotr Wydrych, AGH University of Science and Technology, asked to what extent they would cover exchange of info on topology between ISPs and CDNS. If it’s the case, Piotr would like to raise awareness of ALT O protocol, standardised at IETF in September. Protocol tries to extract info about topology and passes it to 3rd party to align overlay to underlay topology. He added that AS hop number doesn’t have to be a metric, it’s a flexible protocol. Andy Davidson commented that there may be too much reliance on DNS to solve the problem of traffic going to the wrong place and perhaps a generic page or cookie might be a better solution. Maurice said DNS resolver was just an example and that it simple. most are far more advanced. How we can add further signals is in scope. Florence added, re: DNS, important for CDN, do not map content to the end user with DNS but with BGP. Florian Streibelt, Technical University Berlin, said that the DNS extension mentioned earlier is where you put the client’s address into a DNS request and many CDNs so like the idea of doing HTTP requests and redirects because of old certificates and other things. They really want to have the first contact as a redirect by DNS, so that’s why they often use it. 7. Euro-IX & IX-F [5 mins] Bijal Sanghani The presentation is available at: https://ripe69.ripe.net/presentations/102-connect-wg-ripe69.pdf Remco jokingly asked what an IXP is and to explain it in four pages. Bijal said it wasn’t as simple. 8. The Update Session [5 mins] EURO-IX BCP Elisa Jasinska, netflix [There was no presentation available for download] Job Snijders, NTT, said the schema looks very useful and thanked Elisa and Nick for putting effort into it. He added that it looked complete and contains exactly the data he would use to automate what he currently scrapes using other means. From the peering DB side, he said he’d like to see if they could expose the data according to the same schema, maybe sooner than v2 and just piggy back on the current data model. He said he’d see what he could do to help. Elisa replied that her and Bijal had discussed how Euro-IX could use the same format for importing the data back which would reinforce the schema and the usability of it. Vesna Manojlovic, RIPE NCC, said she was grateful for this work and that they have a project called open IP maps which is crowd sourcing geolocation information for Internet infrastructure and this would be really useful information to import into their data set. 9. Open Mic and Feedback [4 mins] Remco asked for feedback on the agenda format. Carsten Schiefner, DENIC, said he liked Uta’s presentation because it was an outlook beyond the usual parameter. He said it would be good to have those kinds of presentations in future, at least one per meeting. Remco said if there are any other suggestions for out of the box presentations to let them know and they’ll see what they could do. Jim Reid said the agenda for the working group looked good.

Regarding connect-bof mailing list
by Remco Van Mook 23 Oct '14

23 Oct '14

Hi all, There seems to be a bit of confusion as all of you have probably received an automated notification earlier today that you were no longer subscribed to the connect-bof mailing list. The reason this happened is because the BoF ceased to exist and the mailing list will be archived. All activity has moved over to the connect working group, and the connect-wg mailing list. As per my welcome email, please update filters where applicable or unsubscribe if you’re no longer interested.

Welcome to connect-wg!
by Remco Van Mook 20 Oct '14

20 Oct '14

Dear friends on the connect-bof mailing list, for those of you who followed the proceedings during RIPE 68, it will come as no surprise that the Connect BOF session led to the adoption by the plenary of the new Connect Working Group. As such, we’re being given all the artefacts that come with a working group, such as presence on the RIPE website and, of course, a mailing list. In order to keep surprises to a minimum, we’ve decided to simply rename the connect BOF list to the Connect WG mailing list and keep all subscribers to the old list. If you did have an interest in the Connect BOF but are for some reason not interested in joining the discussion within the Connect Working Group, this is the time to unsubscribe and we apologise for the inconvenience. You can find links to do so at the bottom of this email. With that out of the way, here’s a reminder of the current charter of the Connect Working group: The Working Group will: •Facilitate discussions about interconnect for Internet purposes, covering Layer 1-8 •Raise awareness in the community about Interconnection and the role this plays for the Global Internet •Educate policymakers/regulation in how the interconnects works •Act as knowledge-base for interconnect related questions The activities of the working group to achieve the goals are, without being exhaustive: •Present and discuss topics related to IP interconnections at the RIPE Working Groups Meetings •Discuss topics related to IP Interconnections on the working-group mailing list •Monitor and take part in discussions in related working groups - like the cooperation wg and the routing wg •Actively seek to take part in IP interconnection discussions taking place outside of the community We’ve applied for a 90-minute slot at the next RIPE meeting in November in London, and we’ll be sending out a draft agenda for that session this week. If you would like to present, please send us an email at <connect-wg-chairs(a)ripe.net<mailto:connect-chairs@ripe.net>> To be very clear about the nature of the presentations we are looking for. We are explicitly NOT looking for any ‘up-and-to-the-right’ update presentations, product presentations or sales pitches. We do have some ideas how to integrate short updates into the schedule but we’re going to keep that a secret for now :) Thank you all for being part of the Connect Working Group and we hope to see you in London!
