What are the legal requirements of swiss email providers to identify users?
by Benoit Panizzon 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Hi List Lately we received mass advertizement emails sent via protonmail.com an email provider offering freemail and commercial email accounts. One of the first statements on their website is: Quote: "ProtonMail is incorporated in Switzerland and all our servers are located in Switzerland. This means all user data is protected by strict Swiss privacy laws" So I suppose, as we other ISP all do, they have to keep logs for 6 months and are required to somehow verify the identity of their customers prior to offering them a service. So I asked them to provide the identity of their 'mass advertizement' sending customer to ask this customer for a proof of opt-in or existing customer relationship, as intended by swiss privacy laws. They promptly terminated the account in question, but stated that they do not keep any logs and have no means to identify whom the account belongs to. => is this legal?

SwissNeutralNet want to provide Internet connectivity over DSL/fiber
by Florian Siegenthaler 13 May '19

13 May '19

Hello SwiNOG list ! SwissNeutralNet is an non-profit association for net neutrality in Switzerland like others ISP in French region under the federation of FFDN (we are not actually member but it's a goal) -> https://www.ffdn.org/en. Actually we are over 30 members, and everyone can join us to support net neutrality. We aim to provide Internet connectivity with neutral rules like non discrimination on traffic, fixed IP address v4/v6 and to prove this is possible. For the moment our website is writed in french, it's not finished, i want to translate it in english, and why not in the future in german and italian if a person is interested to do that. In 2018 we have become a RIPE member (AS200601), we obtained a last /22 IPv4 block from 185.0.0.0/8 and one IPv6 prefix. We have an infrastructure in a datacenter in Lausanne, for the moment we are able to provide automated VPN service and we want to provide Internet access directly to our members which subscribe to the service (yes, we don't have customer), each person want to obtain our services need to become member in SwissNeutralNet. To be able to provide connectivity to our members by copper/fiber lines, we take some informations from Swisscom Wholesale and the price is very very high (page 6/8 from this document if it's correct: https://www.swisscom.ch/dam/swisscom/en/ws/documents/E_BBCS-Documents/d_bbc… ). 100'000 CHF for a BBCS interconnexion to provide connectivity on local loop is correct ? How an enterprise which want to enter in the market can be a provider at this cost ? I know there is some costs to provide lines, to install and maintain cables under roads etc, but if this price is the official cost, how a little enterprise can enter in the market ? Okay, today we need to enter in the market for our goals about net neutrality, and we don't have much money to spend it into /dev/null so we ask you how we can provide Internet access via local loop at a reasonable price ? Which of you, if you have a copper/fiber collect interconnexion with Swisscom, would be interested to cooperate with us for some DSL/fiber lines ? We would be happy to read you in private at info(a)swissneutral.net for your proposition/partnership and to reply to your message. And of course it's very interesting to discuss here about solutions, tips and idea about access to local loop. I'm happy to meet you in a future event, i cannot be present tomorrow at SwiNOG #35 in Berne.

Init7 is about to reconnect SwissIX
by Fredy Kuenzler 08 May '19

08 May '19

As some may know Init7 decided to leave SwissIX at the end of 2018 mainly to protest against the recent policy of the not-for-profit SwissIX association. A decade ago SwissIX was completely volunteer driven, offering peering infrastructure for no recurring fee. This had changed over time and ended in an very high fee for a 10gig port of CHF 750 per month (including a 2nd port for redundancy), which is a lot of money, comparing other exchanges with similar size and structure such as LONAP and considering current hardware pricing. As a matter of fact, SwissIX ports were twice as expensive as the commercial internet exchange of Equinix in Zürich. This resulted in accumulation of cash on SwissIX bank account, as well as rather high consulting fees paid to people which apparently abandoned the community volunteering idea of the association. For more details please refer to http://lists.swinog.ch/public/swinog/2018-December/007105.html What happend since then: The SwissIX board reconsidered their price policy quicker than expected and lowered port prices to a reasonable level with effect of beginning of 2019. After all Init7's protest leave was for good, as everybody has to pay less ... you may show your gratitude by sending a 10pack of your favorite beer to Winterthur - delivery address in the footer ;-) Init7 is now back and currently reconnecting with two redundant 10gig: in the recently established site of green.ch in Lupfig, along with e-shelter in Rümlang. The connections should be ready in a few days, as we are waiting for cross connect delivery. A few words about our peering policy - please consider before sending a request: 1. Init7 AS13030 is not peering with SwissIX Route Servers 2. Init7 is not peering with transit customers or customer customers 3. Init7 expects you to setup 4 BGP sessions (v4, v6 to each router) without MD5 4. Init7 expects you to have an up-to-date PeeringDB record 5. Any peering request should be sent to peering at init7 dot net exclusively 6. If there is more traffic than a few hundred Mbps, Init7 expects you to setup at least one preferred PNI in any common location to offload traffic and dependency from public infrastructure 7. Init7 expects you to send beer - ehm no So here we are again, because peering matters. Happy peering!

Strange NTP packet loss
by Stefan Brand 03 May '19

03 May '19

Hi everyone, We[1] are running some public NTP servers that are included in the NTP Pool[2]. In recent months we've had some issues with our servers being marked as unavailable by the monitoring host that tracks availability for the pool. The logs from the NTP pool website showed high packet loss. However we could not see any issues on our side and pings from the looking glass closest to the monitoring host didn't show any packet loss at all. After quite some debugging we realized that the packet loss only occurs for NTP packets via one of our transit providers, namely Liberty Global (AS6830). We queried their support, our theory being that they're trying to do some sort of DDoS protection for NTP reflection attacks. However they aren't aware of anything like this and also couldn't figure out why this is happening. So I was wondering, has anyone else encountered this issue or something similar? We worked around the issues by routing the traffic around AS6830 but this still bothers me somehow. Kind regards and see you soon at Swinog #35, Stefan [1] https://nine.ch [2] https://www.ntppool.org/user/ninech

### SwiNOG#35 - May 8th - Agenda ###
by Simon Ryf 23 Apr '19

23 Apr '19

Dear SwiNOGers, I’m happy to present the final agenda of SwiNOG#35 If you have not registered yet, please do it now and let your friends and colleagues know ;-) 08:15 | Registration, Coffee & Gipfeli 09:15 | Welcome, Agenda | Simon Ryf (SwiNOG) 09:20 | How to grow IPv6 only services | Nico Schottelius (ungleich glarus ag) As an IPv6 first Data Center, we are looking at IPv6 from a technological and marketing perspective. In this talk I will show our findings in how users reacted towards IPv6 (only) offers, which challenges we encountered on this path and which strategies aid in building and selling IPv6 only services. IPv6 adoption is often compared to the chicken or the egg problem. At the end of the talk I will present you with 2 (strongly biased) solutions to it. 09:45 | Network Telemetry and Big Data - Part 1 | Thomas Graf, Paolo Lucente & Zongren Liu (Swisscom) This presentation with demo shows the collaboration with Swisscom to advance Network Telemetry and Big Data technologies in two parts. Swisscom explains, from a Service Provider viewpoint, the challenges in virtualization and why Swisscom believes this is a key topic to gain visibility in their networks and improve quality. This includes flow aggregation, BMP and Streaming Telemetry for forwarding-plane, control-plane and topology/device metrics. We will underline the importance of schema conversion and registration and the current challenges to align Big Data (data processing, storage and analytics) and Network Telemetry (data collection). We are going to demo flow aggregation and streaming telemetry. Paolo Lucente is going to present the open source project pmacct. Its versatility to cover flow technologies such as IPFIX, BMP and last but not least streaming telemetry metrics where Paolo and Swissscom co-developing. 10:30 | Coffee Break 11:00 | Network Telemetry and Big Data - Part 2 | Christian Kuster (Huawei) Huawei is going to present the new Swisscom Broadband network Sultan, what part Network Telemetry and Big Data plays there and how Huawei supports Swisscom with their innovations and close collaboration. 11:45 | RIPE RPKI | Massimiliano Stucchi (RIPE) tbd 12:05 | SwissIX Update | Manuel Schweizer (SwissIX) Traditional SwissIX update 12:15 | Lunch 13:45 | The State of Internet Security: 2019 | Rayhaan Jaufeerally There are a wide range of technologies that have been developed to secure core Internet infrastructure, however not all of them have yet been widely deployed to reap their benefits. In this presentation we present a selection of these technologies, investigate what security properties they will provide given sufficient adoption, and look at the current deployment status. Specifically we focus on three core areas: interdomain routing, Public Key Infrastructure, and the Domain Name System. In interdomain routing we look at mechanisms to validate routing control protocol messages (Resource Public Key Infrastructure, and Border Gateway Protocol Security), in PKI we focus on the Certificate Authority ecosystem and Certificate Transparency, and for DNS security we look at DNSSEC, and DNS over HTTPS. 14:15 | machine Learning in action - L7 Behavioral Analysis for DDoS detection | Carine Polaillon (F5) tbd 14:40 | The State of DNSSEC Implementation in Switzerland | Michael Hausding (SWITCH) DNSSEC, the DNS Security Extensions was introduced more than 10 years ago. The adoption of DNSSEC in Switzerland was slow for the last 10 years, but gained some momentum in the last 24 months. What is the reason behind a growing number of DNSSEC signed domain names and more ASNs having validating resolvers in Switzerland? Will the recommendation of ICANN for DNSSEC after the recent attacks help with the implementation of DNSSEC in Switzerland? What can hosters and ISPs do to secure the basic DNS infrastructure in Switzerland. 15:05 | Everything is a Freaking DNS problem - dnsdist to the rescue | Dominic Lüchinger (cyon GmbH) DNS plays a crucial part in any network infrastructure. dnsdist, a DoS- and abuse-aware loadbalancer, can help you mitigate the risk of a downtime that occur during maintenance work, attacks and configuration errors. We share our experience putting dnsdist in front of our nameservers and resolvers. With the help of the many built-in stats, we were able to improve the performance even further. 15:35 | Coffee Break 16:05 | Managing sleep with a resilient DNS infrastructure | Jeroen Massar (Quickline AG) The talk will discuss deploying both an Authoritive and Recursive DNS infrastructure that is resilient against outages of network (DoS, misconfiguration), datacenter and people with the ultimate goal of very rarely having ops folks awake during the night. We'll discuss the combination of various open source projects in combination with the techniques that achieve this goal and how we have deployed the setups without anybody noticing. 16:35 | Buffer Sizing Revisited | Simon Leinen (SWITCH) Routers and switches need buffers to accommodate traffic bursts. But how big should those buffers be? The elders recommended RTT*bottleneck bandwidth[Villamizar1994], but more recent work suggests we can get away with much less. We will look at economic and performance trade-offs of small vs. big buffers in light of recent trends in forwarding hardware and transport protocol evolution. 17:00 | grey energy used by data traffic | Kordian Caplazi The goal of my thesis is to calculate the grey energy imported and exported in Switzerland, which is generated by the data traffic of the internet. Today it is already done for consumer products such as clothes or cars, but not for the internet. For the internet our approach is to map the total traffic and its energy consumption along the route. A more detailed view on the energy consumption and therefore the greenhouse gas production will be achieved by splitting the traffic by country and its sources for energy production. 17:05 | How not to integrate Access CPEs | Pascal Gloor (Quickline AG) you'll see ;-) 17:15 | Roundup | Simon Ryf (SwiNOG) 17:20 | Social Event Many thanks to your sponsors for this event Huawei & F5 Hope to see you on the 8th of May Simon SwiNOG
