Dear colleagues, Please read this interesting article by Uta Meier-Hahn on RIPE Labs: The Secrets of De-Peering It continues a series of articles looking at the dynamics of network interconnection, this time with a focus on the structural and political factors at work when networks “de-peer”. https://labs.ripe.net/Members/uta_meier_hahn/the-secrets-of-de-peering Kind regards, Chris Buckridge RIPE NCC

New on RIPE Labs: Interconnection Agreements at Scale: Secret or Simple?
by Mirjam Kuehne 17 Oct '17

17 Oct '17

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

Dear colleagues, As a part of the RIPE NCC's ongoing engagement with the Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), last week we have organised a code sprint - a two-day meeting, in Amsterdam. Researchers and IXP developers got together to continue work on the projects started during the IXP Tools hackathon. This article is a short summary of their achievements: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/follow-up-to-ixp-tools-hackathon-code-s… Look out for detailed descriptions of all these projects in future RIPE Labs articles.
