IANA IPv4 allocations and bogon update: 58/8, 59/8
by Rob Thomas 28 Apr '04

28 Apr '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hi, team. **NOTE WELL: Thanks to a donation from the RIPE NCC we have a new bogon prefix data offering. See below for the details. The numerous Team Cymru bogon projects have been updated as of 01 APR 2004 to reflect the following IANA allocation made on 01 APR 2004: 58/8 Apr 04 APNIC 59/8 Apr 04 APNIC IANA allocations change over time, so please check regularly to ensure you have the latest filters if you are not using the bogon BGP feed(s). We do announce updates to the bogon projects to sundry lists, such as the bogon-announce list. We can not stress this point strongly enough - these allocations change. If you do not adjust your filters, you will be unable to access perhaps large portions of the Internet. Worse yet, you may end up blocking access for people who transit through you. Please do not blindly apply any filters or blocks to your network without carefully considering the ramifications of doing so. As a point of reference, the Team Cymru master Bogon Reference Page can be found here: <http://www.cymru.com/Bogons/> A quick summary of the documents and projects that have been updated include the following: HTTP The Bogon List - <http://www.cymru.com/Documents/bogon-list.html> The Text Bogon Lists - <http://www.cymru.com/Documents/bogon-bn-nonagg.txt> - <http://www.cymru.com/Documents/bogon-bn-agg.txt> Secure BIND Template - <http://www.cymru.com/Documents/secure-bind-template.html> Secure IOS Template (Cisco) - <http://www.cymru.com/Documents/secure-ios-template.html> Secure BGP Template (Cisco) - <http://www.cymru.com/Documents/secure-bgp-template.html> Secure JUNOS Template (Juniper) - <http://www.qorbit.net/documents/junos-template.pdf> Secure JUNOS BGP Template (Juniper) - <http://www.qorbit.net/documents/junos-bgp-template.pdf> Ingress Prefix Filter Templates, Loose and Strict (Cisco) - <ftp://ftp-eng.cisco.com/cons/isp/security/Ingress-Prefix-Filter-Templates/> Ingress Prefix Filter Template, Loose (Juniper) - <http://www.qorbit.net/documents/junos-isp-prefix-filter-loose.pdf> Ingress Prefix Filter Template, Strict (Juniper) - <http://www.qorbit.net/documents/junos-isp-prefix-filter-strict.pdf> BGP Bogon route-server for AUTOMATED updates of bogon filters - All bogon route-server peers have already received the appropriate BGP prefix updates. - <http://www.cymru.com/BGP/bogon-rs.html> RADb fltr-unallocated fltr-martian fltr-bogons - <http://www.cymru.com/Bogons/index.html#radb> RIPE NCC fltr-unallocated fltr-martian fltr-bogons - <http://www.cymru.com/Bogons/index.html#ripe> DNS Bogon (bogons.cymru.com) zone - <http://www.cymru.com/Bogons/index.html#dns> Monitoring Bogon prefix monitoring - <http://www.cymru.com/BGP/robbgp-bogon.html> Please feel free to contact Team Cymru <team-cymru(a)cymru.com> with any comments, questions, or concerns.

Telstra Clear routing 210.54.142.0/24 incorrectly
by Peter Simmons 27 Apr '04

27 Apr '04

Hi, Perhaps there is someone from Telstra Clear on this list that can help. We (Strongnet) own the 210.54.142.0/24 range it is hosted at United Networks datacentre in Northcoat, Auckland. For some reason or other the routers that Telstra Clear 'Tempest' customers go through is routing traffic to that ip range as over its international connection. This means that those customers have to pay international rates for traffic that goes to our network. Obviously they should only have to pay national traffic rates as it is national. Traffic going from our network to the Telstra Clear 'Tempest' customers is routed nationally. Only traffic coming from the Telstra Clear 'Tempest' customers to our network is being routed internationally. It seems that only Telstra Clear customers are having this problem. So if anyone knows how to fix it or is in a position to fix it please do. Regards, Pete

Not strictly related, but I know that a lot of people on here have had grief as a result of the little toad's actions. So, take a read of http://www.nzherald.co.nz/latestnewsstory.cfm?storyID=3563220, and gloat at the well-earned smack-down.

Re: NZNOG Digest, Vol 16, Issue 17

We started having problems more than a week ago, with queues of 10K and more building up over the day through to Xtra. At night, this was 2-3 times as bad. We managed to (finally) get through to CTSHelp, who advised us that Xtra had made a policy decision to only accept 2 connections per source IP/domain. This was effectively throttling our mail down to around 2-3 messages per second. Obviously an attempt to limit the impact of the recent Sober work and variants on xtra's part...

Try more than 48 hrs, and apparently it was worse on Tuesday!

I'm not advocating anything illegal but...

Chuckle - I _KNOW_ it's just a coincidence, but less than 15 minutes after lampooning Xtra's generally useless status page about never being updated, they have managed to list the intermittent (!) email problem, only 26 hours after it was first notied on this list! -- Cheers - Neil Gardner Networking and Security Support Engineer Renaissance Brands (09) 968-3681 / (021) 746-345
