Hmmm, #NANOG discusses #IPv4 pricing falling below $20. There is also a claim that North-American ISPs sell much of their IPv4 space. Why is that happening? Is it, because #IPv6 is now the preferred method?
#NANOG
The #NANOG mailing list discussed an outage of #Cogent in #Texas. The company's update: "This is being caused by multiple fiber cuts".
Must be lots of stuff going on, if multiple fiber cuts appeared at the same time. Anyone ideas what could have caused it?

Boosting for visibility. @jtk and I briefly explored what we see on the /8s announced by CAMTEL. It's been discussed on the #NANOG mailing list as well.
ROA Planner, as seen on the #NANOG list:

"The implementation remains fragile and will be unavailable intermittently, but we hope to improve it over the next couple of weeks."
aka beta test.
🔥 Let's talk about Chicago! 🔥
Just reviewed growth across our 7 US locations, and @decix Chicago is on another level.
Last 12 Months: 📈 Traffic: +100% (Now 369 Gbps peak!) 🤝 Networks: +20% (Now 66 connected!)
Incredible momentum. With all the #NANOG95 meetings this week, we're betting these numbers grow even more. The entire NA market is booming!

🚨 RECORD WATCH! 🚨
@decix New York is on the verge of 2 Tbps! We just hit a new 1.93 Tbps peak, just 7 Gbps away from the milestone. 📈
And it's happening right as #NANOG95 kicks off today! 🤯
To all the network engineers gathering to share hints & tricks: Think we'll see that new record fall this week? Drop your predictions below! 👇

This must be a very #US centric problem of #Internet service providers.
#NANOG staff are collecting stories about first meeting experiences. I'm not sure they'll use mine so I'll share it here in case anyone finds it amusing.
In earlier days there was a lot of good discussion on the list, but I felt it could be very intimidating. People could be merciless in critiquing what you said or proposed. Some came off very aggressive and not-to-be-messed-with.
When I finally got to my first meeting and observed some of these same people in person I thought to myself "That's who that is?! Ha! Tough talker online, but a kind of a wimp face-to-face!" :-)
https://youtu.be/WXkcTKeUhxs - In a galaxy far, far away, in immemorial times, about eight billion people lived on a small blue planet. This planet barely had enough resources to support half that population. When they realized this, some actions were taken to improve the sharing and rational use of natural resources, although many simply ignored the problem. A massive effort also began to find a new home... #ipv6 #ipv4 #dualstack #network #internet #protocol #isp #icann #nanog #arin #ripencc #lacnic
There's an interesting conversation going on on the #NANOG #mailinglist. It's about running a #DNS resolver for a medium-sized service provider network:
Recommended DNS server for a medium 20-30k users isp
I particularly love that the people from @quad9dns chipped in, and revealed how they split their front- and backend with #dnsdist. Splitting the front- and backend of internet-facing services is something that I already learned in University as a best-practice.
NANOG 94 may be over, but the conversation continues. Peering discussions, along with various other topics, have been buzzing on Discord. Your active participation could truly impact the dialog.

Received an email by the #NANOG mailing list in which they raise a pretty concerning thing: Apparently, #Spain started to intercept or nullroute certain IP addresses of #CDN providers. The intent is to fight #piracy during #football matches.
Do the people who pass the list of IP addresses even understand the significance of blocking a bunch of #CDN networks of various providers? Seriously?! It #censors access to tens of thousands of legitimate #websites which is blatantly accepted as a #collateral to help out some shady sports association in their #copyright?
How much shadier can a decision be? Since this is a thing, maybe they can think about taking down entire regions in Spain the next football match?
The amount of collateral damage in the name of copyright is ridiculous. The #EuropeanUnion really has to step-up their game in addressing those concerning developments. I read about multiple such blatant decisions so far. Eyeing at you, #Quad9 and #Sony...

I'm very much disgusted that #NANOG went for renaming their DEI Committee to Community Engagement Committee.

I don't think #NetworkEngineering is that popular on Mastodon, but I'm posting here anyway. I'm starting a local meetup here in #Toronto for Network Operators. A small NOG, in the vein of #NANOG
Feel free to join us -- for FREE -- in April
New blog post: NANOG 93 recap summary https://dataplane.org/jtk/blog/2025/02/nanog93/
The #NANOG 93 hack-a-thon begins on Monday. It is basically a CTF revolving around network ops challenges. I'm not running it, but I'll be participating, so I assume it's finding misconfig problems, debugging connectivity issues, and those sorts of things.
Remote participation is free.
