Cable landing stations are generally a bit further away from ports and such. They're also heavily armored when near the shore for this particular reason. The folks laying the cables will also put in energy to do outreach with local fis

Need to remember that some cables have common points where they cross over and share fate, identified as shared risk link groups (SRLGs). Good engineering and design practices involve ingesting detailed fiber routes in GIS databases (kmzs i

More like there was a cable cut, resulted in congestion on someone's network and they rerouted it (internal backbone changes, etc.)

What's wild is how at times the GFW will be abused to profit the operators of the GFW itself. Redirecting people to sites owned by friends to drive traffic/sales, etc. Due to the nature of the GFW, there isn't a lot of auditi

It's not just them. AS4837 (China Unicom) and a few others who have intl permission to route in and out of China. That said, you're going to hurt a lot of non-china multinationals who operate there.

That response is pretty typical from the GA community.

Pilots have been saying this for a long time. But it started with anger towards the constant expansion of the 737 (the 900 has some additional limits that hit hard when icing conditions in some places like Denver). The 757 was the sports ca

Several hundred network operators use a particular IRC network for back channel communications. Chatter on route hijacks, leaks, outages, etc. Great way to cut thru the bullshit support channels and NOC aliases to get to the folks who matte

Yep. Bell, Telus, Videotron, Rogers have preferred to interconnect in the US for a long time (Chicago & NYC). During the mid 2000s the CRTC made bell and Rogers peer domestically over an OC12 (622Mbps) which was congested all the time (

No, it's a /48. Login to a route server and see for yourself.

In the early 2000s the issue was the routing hardware did ipv6 shitty. That took a few years to get to a better spot (and a few years more to get it almost at IPv4 parity feature wise). Then it took a few more years for transit providers to

A /48 is the minimum folks will pass via bgp on the internets (it's the /24 of the ipv6 world). Also another fyi: if you're rolling commodity hw (bcm tridents etc) after a /64 up to /128 you are dipping into an

Look to the mobile networks as a sign for things to come. How much money do you think network operators are going to invest in a highly available and performant IPv4 CGNAT experience? I know of one large mobile network that said they'r

Comically when Apple would setup a store they'd ask their isps to provide an allocation rather than dip into their allocation.

Most of their broadband subs are from legacy SBC (ameritech, swbell, nvbell, pacbell, snet). They got all their allocations separately. None of them came out of 12/8 or 32/8 traditionally.

Domestic carrier buys optical transport from their country that goes back towards europe. They'll drop some network infra in Europe and buy transit from folks like tata/dtag/telecom Italia. Check https://as49666.pe

It's gotten better in the last year. But there are still problems with the locals buying a small ix port and it gets congested. The biggest challenge in the area is the the asymmetry. I could learn the routes if a network in the gulf I

Not talking about peering. Talking about transit-customer relationships. Think large hosting shops who say they can't afford to do uRPF on their customers because they've got so many multihomed users and the IP address space is fl

The middle (ntt, gtt, tata, etc) of the internet doesn't know what is or isn't spoofed. The folks at the edge own that responsibility and most colo/hosting shops allow their customers to spoof. Their upstreams are powerless a

Who was ditching a 747? The joke from the cartels was they could afford to do that if they wanted to. Plenty of GA aircraft were ending up in fields and at the bottom of the Atlantic and gulf, though.

Initial rumors were a trip at Niagra Falls on the Canadian side. I believe Petaki spread that rumor.
