Wow! Looks like I'll have to do a lot of phone calls tomorrow, so I'll be going to bed early today! (Swiss) German is perfectly fine. My current working hours are 11:30am to around 05:00am. Just dial +41-(0)78-878-2468 if you want to contact me. Steven, really no offense taken, in fact I feel flattered by your comment - But to make a point against your notion: I'm the guy who wrote the very first password auditing tool for Microsoft RDP (just Google around for TSCrack). It used an artificial neural network to 'parse' the graphical representation of the RDP logon screen. I hope that's tech enough for you...hehe :) Oh, and I helped translate the 'ADSL with PPPoA (and MTU 1500)' document, quite a long time ago. Guess my English's just pretty darn fly for a Swiss guy :P The customers I have are getting prepaid internet access. More info about that can be found on the bitlink.ch website. Thank you all so much for responding - I'll be in touch! Chris Burri --- "To do is to be" - Socrates // "To be is to do" - Sartre // "Dobedobedoo" - Sinatra

Calling all stations!
by chris burri 02 Aug '12

To whom it may concern: Starting from zero and nowhere plus an old computer, I've spent the last few Months since September 2011 in St. Gallen, building a small but steady ISP operation supporting close to 30 active customers as of right now. At my business' core, a remarkable web of ideas. Entirely founded on a rather ingenious prepaid-everything-everywhere philosophy, aiming for no less than total evasion from last-mile stranglehold and reseller slavery in particular and other, potentially unhealthy dependencies in general while reaching far beyond "just" telecommunications, into financial services and more. Much of this glorious plan has been condensed down from my brains into a paper, covering 86 pages A4 already. Some people would literally kill to get their hands on those pages, they just don't know yet... But gladly, there's no need to send a hitman! I'll let you read the entire thing if you sign me an NDA or hire me on the spot. I've evaluated the basics, considered the law, estimated the cost, implemented a network, set up a pilot, demonstrated the principle functioning in a live environment, devised products for the market and -in virtually no time- started attracting customers, making money since March 2012. Everything was looking just fine and very promising and I've been busy preparing the next steps: getting admission as an "FDA", just before hiring a handful of motivated people to get things moving swift on a larger scale. We were about to start rumbling the neighbourhood, if not the entire city and more! As it turns out, I've relied on the wrong people to do business with and back this up - Now, everything appears to be going down the drain, anytime soon. Because....my operation is yet about 10 times too small in terms of customers to survive by itself (aka pay for the running costs and allowing myself a humble salary for shelter, food and living a rather simple life), I've been trying to find fresh capital to support expansion as planned. Alas, in vain so far. So little time, way too little time - And that little time's about to run out. So...uh... I could use a little HELP over here. An Angel investor, perhaps? A "friendly takeover" by another ISP? An offer for a decent job? While I bring my customers, my brains and -likely- my plans with me? All your questions, suggestions and considerations are very-most welcome off-list. I'm open to your ideas. This is a chance. I just don't want to succumb and give in!

'Foreign' IP Addresses assigned to swiss customers?
by Benoit Panizzon 08 Jul '12

08 Jul '12

Hya Lately we have received a increased numbers of requests from customer employed by some banks and working in homeoffice a home office via remote access to their bank, asking us to confirm that we only assign 'swiss' IP addresses to our customers. Well I usualy replied to those customers, that they can check the status of their IP address at RIPE and check to which country their allocation or assignment is registered. Apparently this is not enough. FINMA has made it a requirement, that if some bank employee wants to work from home, they need a written confirmation from their ISP that this ISP is not assigning IP addresses to customers outside switzerland and that the IP address the customer is using is operated in switzerland and cannot be used from abroad or assigned to customers outside switzerland. I got in contact with one of those bank's security department to explain to them, that of course we correctly register our IP ranges at RIPE and that no, we cannot guarantee that our customers do not operate VPN or Proxies etc, which would make it possible to use IP addresses from abroad. And of course we have business customers with branch offices all over the world which could be using their IP Range to route part of it outside switzerland to such an office. I wanted to know why the information about ranges as registered @ RIPE are not good enough for the FINMA and how we could positively answer the question that we do not assign IP addresses to devices outside switzerland. I was told, that there apparently are plenty of ISP in Switzerland, which assign 'foreign' IP addresses to their customers and that there are also switzerland based ISP which use their 'swiss' IP allocations to provide internet access to customers located outside switzerland, which causes legal problems if such an IP is used to access servers run under FINMA policies. This is why FINMA requests that an ISP confirms that he uses his IP addresses exclusively for CPE located in switzerland. they Hmm, I wonder.. which ISP do operate IP address ranges in switzerland which are registered at RIPE to some other entity not located in switzerland? Which Swiss ISP do offer services outside Switzerland using IP Ranges that are registered @ RIPE with Country: CH? Or have I found a 'papiertiger' policy written by someone with no clue how IP assignment by RIPE works?

Fwd: [MBONED] PIM survey for operators
by Thomas Kernen 26 Jun '12

26 Jun '12

FYI. May be of interest to some of the operators in Switzerland. Regards, Thomas -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [MBONED] PIM survey for operators Resent-Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2012 10:39:58 -1000 (HST) Resent-From: Antonio Querubin <tony(a)lavanauts.org> Resent-To: nanog(a)nanog.org Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2012 13:21:41 -0700 From: Stig Venaas <stig(a)venaas.com> To: MBONED WG <mboned(a)ietf.org> The IETF pim working group is conducting a survey in order to advance the PIM Sparse Mode spec on the IETF Standards Track, and would like input from operators. The survey ends July 20th. Please see below for more information. thank you, pim chairs Mike & Stig Introduction: PIM-SM was first published as RFC 2117 in 1997 and then again as RFC 2362 in 1998. The protocol was classified as Experimental in both of these documents. The PIM-SM protocol specification was then rewritten in whole and advanced to Proposed Standard as RFC 4601 in 2006. Considering the multiple independent implementations developed and the successful operational experience gained, the IETF has decided to advance the PIM-SM routing protocol to Draft Standard. This survey intends to provide supporting documentation to advance the Protocol Independent Multicast - Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) routing protocol from IETF Proposed Standard to Draft Standard. (Due to RFC 6410, now the intention is to progress it to Internet Standard. Draft Standard is no longer used.) This survey is issued on behalf of the IETF PIM Working Group. The responses will be collected by a neutral third-party and kept strictly confidential; only the final combined results will be published. Marshall Eubanks has agreed to anonymize the response to this Questionnaire. Marshall has a long experience with Multicast but has no direct financial interest in this matter, nor ties to any of the vendors involved. He is also a member of the IAOC, Chair of the IETF Trust and co-chair of the IETF Layer 3 VPN Working Group. Please send Questionnaire responses to his email address, marshall.eubanks(a)gmail.com. He requests that such responses include the string "RFC 4601 bis Questionnaire" in the subject field. Before answering the questions, please comple the following background information. Name of the Respondent: Affliation/Organization: Contact Email: Provide description of PIM deployment: Do you wish to keep the information provided confidential: Questions: 1 Have you deployed PIM-SM in your network? 2 How long have you had PIM-SM deployed in your network? Do you know if your deployment is based on the most recent RFC4601? 3 Have you deployed PIM-SM for IPv6 in your network? 4 Are you using equipment with different (multi-vendor) PIM-SM implementations for your deployment? 5 Have you encountered any inter-operability or backward- compatibility issues amongst differing implementations? If yes, what are your concerns about these issues? 6 Have you deployed both dense mode and sparse mode in your network? If yes, do you route between these modes using features such as *,*,RP or PMBR? 7 To what extent have you deployed PIM functionality, like BSR, SSM, and Explicit Tracking? 8 Which RP mapping mechanism do you use: Static, AutoRP, or BSR? 9 How many RPs have you deployed in your network? 10 If you use Anycast-RP, is it Anycast-RP using MSDP (RFC 3446) or Anycast-RP using PIM (RFC 4610)? 11 Do you have any other comments on PIM-SM deployment in your network? _______________________________________________ MBONED mailing list MBONED(a)ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/mboned
