Thank you for participating the Survey on IPSEC VPN vs. managed MPLS
by Beat Eichenberger 12 Sep '12

12 Sep '12

Dear SwiNOG members Many thanks to all of you for participating the survey. I have received many very valuable feedbacks and I guess the outcome may be of interest for the most of you. Before I can provide you with all the details, I will need some time to put all the data together and doublecheck my interpretation with the ones that left their contact details. I will therefore get in contact with them and may ask some more questions ;-) If there are still members, that have not yet had the time to participate and they have some feedback for me, please use the new collector link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MPLSvsIPSecVPN_Eng I closed the other one so I can start with the statistical part... Many thanks again and kind regards! Beat Von: Beat Eichenberger Gesendet: Dienstag, 4. September 2012 21:31 An: swinog(a)lists.swinog.ch Betreff: Survey on IPSEC VPN vs. managed MPLS Dear SwiNOG members I'm currently finishing my <FH/Bachelor> degree on IT and economics and I'm therefore focusing on my bachelor thesis. I'm working in the telecommunications industries since more than 15 years now, and having the role as "Head of Telecommunication" in an international IT company. My thesis is about the acceptance of IP Sec VPN for Intranet transport connections. I'm following the assumption, that most international companies have already changed, or would be ready to change their classical leased line services, mostly MPLS based and managed by service providers, against self-managed IPSec Internet VPN. I already had some very interesting interviews with CTO's and IT Managers from many companies. They do believe that the internet and technology today is mature enough. But when I ask them about their opinion on that topic, they mostly refer to their network professionals, since they hold a key role on technical decision of such matter. My goal is to reach as many network engineers, heads of telecommunication, CTO's, etc. as possible. So pros like you and I responsible for planning, engineering and/or maintaining their company's intranet. Therefore I'm kindly asking you, if you could please participate on the following survey, if the description above applies to you: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MPLSvsIPSec I very much appreciate your help and contribution! It is planned to present the results and outcome on SwiNOG#25 in Bern. Many thanks for your feedback and support! Beat

Old functional hardware - where does it best go?
by Jeroen Massar 07 Sep '12

07 Sep '12

Hi, So, interrupting the summery silence on this list a bit, and it might not be entirely swinog-appropriate... but... I was doing some sorting out of various things and realized that I amassed too many old unused computers and various components that are still in full functional order, but not very useful to use due to their oldness, powerconsumption and simply as they have been replaced with better ones. As such, I am asking if somebody knows what the best way is to get effectively rid of various things like a full functioning (network,video,audio) p100 (DEC multia), a p200 (small tower), a dual p2-266 (tower), a dual p3-600 (qube case), nslu2's and then an assorted list of other things like cd drives etc. What is the best way to go with this kind of stuff? Trash is an option, but it is not like these things are small ;) Greets, Jeroen

Chris: I am soo sad you didn't hit me up about the old Cisco gear you sent away...I would have taken it all! Same goes for youJeroen, if you've got Cisco gear going to that pile, I will be glad to relieve you of it FREE OF CHARGE! And I will come pick it up as well.

Hey Jeroen,when I cleaned out my lab, a similar list of items plus a ton of old Cisco stuff, I donated the whole lot to some guys who were putting together a hackerspace. Maybe there's something similar, a hackerspace or maker lab near you?

Pro / Contra Backup MX?
by Benoit Panizzon 31 Aug '12

31 Aug '12

Heya Swinog We have business customers with an own mailservers asking us to provide a backup MX for their mailserver. Usualy we deny such request, because such a backup MX would bounce all spam which cannot be relayed, and anyway, the sending server usualy queues the email usualy about the same amount of time a backup mx would queue it. So we see not advantage, but a big disatvantage. Now some of our customers complain that 'all other ISP' offers such services. So I wanted to know your opinions: - Why would business customers _need_ their ISP to operate a backup MX for them? - Why can you avoid the disatvantage to generate a shitload of bounces when operating ab backup MX? - Is it true, that most ISP offer this kind of service?

MS DNS creating invalid records rejected by Bind check-names?
by Benoit Panizzon 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

Hello World! We have a strange problem with a customer for which we provide secondary DNS services. He uses a Microsoft DNS Server. According to the RFC I found, the underscore character is only valid in SRV Records. In any other records, this is an invalid character. Our Customers ADS Server keeps autocreating one records like this: gc._msdcs.web.EXAMPLE.COM 1800 IN A 192.0.2.44 Bind refuses to accept zone transfers from his server and eventualy the zone expires on the secondary. Then the customer deletes the RR, the transfer is successfull, but shortly afterwards the mentioned A record with underscore is re-created by the ADS and the problem is back. Is this some kind of MS DNS bug, or have the DNS RFCs been updated recently to also allow underscores in other RR and some non bleading edge versions of bind still use the check from previous rfc?
