Discontinuing the EIX Working Group Mailing List
by Serge Radovcic 21 Oct '13

21 Oct '13

Dear colleagues, You are receiving this mail because you are subscribed to the EIX Working Group mailing list. As you may have seen, it was proposed at RIPE 67 that the EIX Working Group be discontinued. You can see the discussion around this that took place during the presentation made by Nick Hilliard: https://ripe67.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/eix-wg/ The proposal also requested that a Birds of a Feather (BoF) be set up for RIPE 68 that would allow the interconnection community to meet. The connect-bof mailing list was set up so that the former EIX Working Group might create a charter for a new group that might eventually replace the EIX Working Group. The EIX Working Group subscribers have been automatically added to the new connect-bof mailing list to allow a charter to be formed for the new group. The EIX Working Group mailing list archives will be available from the following location: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/eix-wg/ We hope that you will participate on the connect-bof mailing list. If you do not wish to receive correspondence on this list, please make use of the unsubscribe functionality. Kind regards, Serge Radovcic Chief Communications Officer RIPE NCC

The future of the EIX working group
by Nick Hilliard 16 Oct '13

16 Oct '13

Dear WG participants, I have asked Fearghas McKay for a short slot during tomorrow's EIX working group session to discuss the viability of the EIX working group as it currently stands and how it needs to be changed to make it relevant to the needs of the RIPE community. Nick

Stepping down as EIX WG-Chair
by Andy Davidson 14 Oct '13

14 Oct '13

Hi, I've very much enjoyed being your working group co-chair for around five years now. That's quite a long time for you to have waited for a chance to think about the group chairship, so it feels like the right sort of time to step aside and ask the working group to select a new person to co-chair the group. Being the wg-chair is a lot of work since as well as putting together three hours of entertainment twice a year, there is an administrative role to play in the policy development process (test and confirm that the PDP has been followed for every new policy proposal), and a functional role to play in improving and building RIPE & the RIPE Meetings. Don't underestimate the amount of time needed to do this properly. That said, if you enjoy the RIPE meetings, and want to help improve collaboration in the RIPE community, this is a great way to contribute. ** Thanks to everyone that has spoken at or come along to the EIX meetings in the past few years. ** It's been a pleasure collaborating with you all at RIPE. Best wishes, Andy Davidson

RIPE EIX-WG: Attributing inbound traffic
by Steve Nash 25 Feb '13

25 Feb '13

Bad traffic is coming into my IX Peering interface. How do I find out where that bad traffic is coming from? How do I get it to stop? Customers of Internet Exchanges get a good deal on peering. Life is easy. Until something goes wrong. DDoS traffic starts coming into the IX interface.. I work for Arbor Networks and I have seen such questions many times. cFlow, Netflow, IPFIX can show that there is anomalous traffic arriving, but not where it is coming from (last hop). I have a suggestion and I would like to know if it is already in use, or considered of any use.. The answers are in Layer-2, of course. The MAC addresses identify which of the routers of my Peers actually transmitted a packet to my router. Problems: 1/ I could try to tap off the interface and get a packet trace, but I have to capture and identify a sample of the offending traffic, 2/ My peering router generates Netflow/IPFIX, but only populates Layer-3 data. Even if it did populate field 56 - Src MAC.. 3/ In either case I need to get into the ARP cache to figure out which IP address the MAC address belongs to.. Suggestion: Ask all IX customers to Embed the ASN into a Locally Administered MAC address on each peering interface. First byte for Local flag, second byte for interface number, others for four-byte ASN 02:00:00:00:01:00 for ASN 256 02:00:00:00:04:F9 for ASN 1273 (first interface) 02:01:00:00:04:F9 for ASN 1273 (second interface) Now, if all peers have their router interfaces configured with these Local MAC Addresses, then a customer can capture the traffic and very quickly extract the identity of each Peer that is sending packets. And peers can change their router hardware and still transmit from the same MAC address. Also, if I can get a peering Router to populate the Src MAC field of IPFIX and Netflow then I can start monitoring it all with flow reporting tools. Such MAC level encoding of ASN could be part of the peering agreement between organisations, or part of the requirement to connect to an IX RouteReflector. Even as a voluntary recommendation it could cut down the workload of identifying where traffic is coming from. I would appreciate your comments. I know that I am coming from the monitoring angle and have had few dealing with the business of an IX, so you may have tried and rejected such things. I'll be in Dublin too, if a discussion is worthwhile. Regards Steve Nash

IPv6 Link Local Addressing on IXPs?
by Michael Behringer (mbehring) 23 Nov '12

23 Nov '12

EIX WG, Eric and myself have put together an internet draft on the usage of IPv6 link local addressing on infrastructure links. The goal is to document what works and what doesn't when you only have IP6 link local addresses on such links. We were pointed to the fact that this question is also arising for IXPs, and have now tried to capture the high level view for IXPs. We'd appreciate feedback on our draft, specifically section 2.4 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-opsec-lla-only-02 Please let us know how we can improve the draft, specifically this section. Any feedback is welcome. If you are "okay" with the current draft, a quick note would also help us. Thanks! Eric and Michael

Re: [eix-wg] [address-policy-wg] [policy-announce] 2011-05 Last Call for Comments (Safeguarding future IXPs with IPv4 space)
by Erik Bais 08 May '12

08 May '12

Hi Gert, > > I would rather see that increased to a /14 if possible. > Formally, we can't change anything "just so" at this point in the PDP - so we'd have to go back to review phase, draft a new policy text, and then re-do review phase and last call. > If you think this is important enough, please formally voice "strong and sustained opposition" - which is what it takes to bounce the proposal back to review phase. > OTOH, since this came from the EIX WG, I think they have a pretty good idea on the number of IXPs to be expected world-wide, and how much growth to expect there over the next 5-10 years. Since they seem to be happy with the proposal as it stands, > with a /16, and the constraints that this brings with it (= 256 new small IXPs, or 128 new IXPs with a /23, etc.), I would prefer to accept their assumptions and go forward. I do think that it is important, however if the EIX WG agrees that 'a /16 ought to be enough for all future IXP's in the region.', I would like to see that stated on the list here and I'm happy. My personal (gut) feeling about it, is that a /16 isn't going to last very long and seeing a policy on the roll that could allow PI on that same last /8, it might be better to adjust now, rather than being sorry later.
