Announcing mirror.init7.net
by Fredy Kuenzler 30 Oct '18

30 Oct '18

As SWITCH has announced the sunset of http://mirror.switch.ch/ a while ago we are happy to announce a successor mirror.init7.net. https://mirror.init7.net By supporting IPv6 and legacy IPv4 and https as well as legacy http we hope to be able to support the Opensource- and Internet-Community in the future. In case your DNS resolver is broken we gave mirror.init7.net nice and easy to memorize IP addresses: https://2001:1620::1620 https://109.202.202.202 We would like to express our gratitude to SWITCH for providing a mirror service for much longer than a decade. PS. a hint for Debian and Ubuntu users - please ensure you have the package apt-transport-https installed to use https. -- Fredy Kuenzler Init7 (Switzerland) Ltd.

BGP LLGR, followup
by Vincent Bernat 22 Oct '18

22 Oct '18

Hey! A quick followup for my lightning talk from last year about BGP LLGR: - Support has been added in BIRD 1.6, BIRD 2 and GoBGP. AFAIK, Cisco still only supports it on VPN and FlowSpec families. - Draft 4 has been published and IANA has assigned capability code and well-known comunity (compatible with existing implementations). https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-uttaro-idr-bgp-persistence-04 https://vincent.bernat.ch/en/blog/2018-bgp-llgr -- Make sure all variables are initialised before use. - The Elements of Programming Style (Kernighan & Plauger)

## Agenda - SwiNOG#34 ##
by Simon Ryf 17 Oct '18

17 Oct '18

Dear SwiNOG community, Here is the final agenda for SwiNOG #34 on Tuesday 30.10.2018 on top of Gurten. Thank you A big thank you to A10 Networks for sponsoring this event and for RETN GmbH supporting us. Registration https://register.swinog.ch (registration closes on 22.10.2018 – after that you need to pay extra fee for late reg.) We still have time for Lightning Talks, if you’re up for it, you’ll get a free voucher for the next event or if submitted before 22.10.2018 – for SwiNOG#34 Agenda https://www.swinog.ch/meetings/swinog34/ 08:15 - Registration, Coffee & Gipfeli 09:15 - Welcome, Agenda 09:20 - IPv6 first in Data Center Light | Nico Schottelius (ungleich glarus ag) Our crowdfunding campaign last year was a great success and raised more than CHF 250,000.00: with this success we built a data center in Glarus Süd, Switzerland in the heart of the Alps. It is called Data Center Light and it is operating with 100% hydropower. The idea behind this data center project is supporting the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) community as well as empowering local communities. It is fully open source and relies on IPv6 which we strongly believe in, because we think that IPv6 will become more important in the near future and will eventually replace IPv4 in the long run. 09:40 - IoT = Internet of Threats? | Heiko Frank (A10 Networks) We are moving from 300 Gbps range attacks to 1Tbps+ attacks by using a botnet with IoT devices. A10 Presents 5 necessary steps to be prepared for colossal DDoS attacks. The A10 DDoS-One Protection is a 360 degrees solution to cover the complete lifecycle of a next generation DDoS protection. 10:10 – Coffee Break 10:40 - The new Post and Telecommunications Surveillance Act (BÜPF) | Alexandre Suter + Nils Güggi (Post and Telecommunications Surveillance Service PTSS) In November 2017, the Federal Council announced that the new Post and Telecommunications Surveillance Act (BÜPF) would enter into force on March 1st, 2018. One year later, PTSS will present the first experience with the new legislation and outline the relevant legal and technical aspects for Swiss service providers. 11:40 - Automating DNSSEC | Daniel Stirnimann (SWITCH) SWITCH has implemented a method (RFC 7344, 8078) to allow DNS operators to automatically update DNSSEC keys at the registry as opposed to manual updates through a registrar interface. This presentation will provide details about the implementation and a demonstration of securing a zone with one command. 12:05 - Lunch 13:35 - PeeringDB Update | Arnold Nipper (PeeringDB) As PeeringDB is an ongoing project this will be a short update only. 13:45 - 400G - don't get confused with this transceiver generation | Thomas Weible (Flexoptix GmbH) Transmission speed of 400G is becoming a reality, with new challenges for optical and electrical components in high speed systems emerging as well. PAM4 modulation is one key component for 400G transmission with transceivers, this talk will be a show and tell into PAM4. With this knowledge, the design decisions behind the new formfactors OSFP, QSFP-DD, SFP56-DD and µQSFP are easier to understand. This talk will help you to: * Design / build new kind of applications or connections with your networking gear in the field * Avoid pitfalls when designing your racks * Be aware how power consumption and new plugs will be part of the new world of 400G transceivers. 14:15 - OpenBGPD, gotta go fast! | Claudio Jeker (OpenBGPD) OpenBGPD was started in 2003 and became quickly popular in many smaller networks and also as route-server at many IXPs. Over the years the requirements for running BGP -- especially route servers at exchange points -- has changed but OpenBGPD did not keep up with some of them. Thanks to the RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund and donations by various IXPs a lot of improvements are done. This presentation is an update what was achieved until now and what will come. One of the show cases is how OpenBGPD can be used together with a route-server -- a config generator -- to build secure route-servers for IXPs. 14:45 - Afternoon Break 15:15 - RomandIX : Year one | Nicolas Desir + Will van Gulik (RomandIX) Broadcast/MAC learning, ARP/NDP inspection, sponge: Is there another paradigm? Let's hack a Switch and build a community ! 15:45 - McPatchbot @ DE-CIX | Arnold Nipper (DE-CIX) Tbd 16:55 – tba, not everything in the box yet but it looks like we’ll fill it up till 17:00 17:00 - Social Event Looking forward to seeing all of you!!!

Re: [swinog] mirror.switch.ch to be closed down
by Andres Aeschlimann 28 Aug '18

28 Aug '18

Hello all, Let me give you some more information about the decision of SWITCH to close down the well known SWITCHmirror service. In about 1990, the newly born Internet was such a success, that soon after, lines were completely overloaded, and it became literally impossible to download anything from sites across the Atlantic, at least during local office hours or in the evening. This also became a major problem for administrators at local Universities who had to install or patch their servers, as their installation routines took ages to complete, or even ran into timeouts. This being a common problem of the Universities, it soon became clear that instead of solving it at each University individually, it made much more sense to let SWITCH do that once and for all of them. So SWITCHmirror was born. And it was used. Heavily. Such that the SWITCHmirror infrastructure became among the most performant - and the most expensive - for about two decades. It was so performant that it could even be used to test network speed. Network engineers out there on the edge of the SWITCH network knew the sustained throughput of the SWITCHmirror by heart, and so they could just measure the download rate of some large file in order to tell whether their local line actually had the speed it was planned for. The congestion across the Atlantic didn’t actually last for too long. Soon after, new lines with double throughput and more were put in place. However, this didn’t come at no cost, and so, SWITCH also had to charge separately for overseas volumes, which again made the SWITCHmirror attractive as it generated only local traffic. Later on, this separate charge could again be dropped, and so the SWITCHmirror lost, in principle, its raison d’être. However, in the meantime, the SWITCHmirror was well known, not only at the Universities but even more in Switzerland and in Europe, as the download statistics are showing today: About half of the monthly 150-200TB are going to foreign countries, the other half to destinations within Switzerland, and only 2-5% to the Swiss Universities. SWITCH is committed to operate solutions that empower users primarily in the academic world. Given the above statistics, and seeing that the hardware was reaching its eol, SWITCH has done a survey among the responsible people at the Universities, which clearly showed that as of today, having such a mirror clearly isn’t a requirement for them any more. SWITCH has therefore decided to decommission this service, in favour of many others that are about to be put in place. The schedule for this decommissioning is documented on http://mirror.switch.ch/ . So, we are hoping that you can follow our reasons for turning off SWITCHmirror and thank you for your understanding.
