Would you be talking about port 25/tcp outbound? Lots of ISPs will block port 25 as a rule; you have to call to have it opened. At the same time, you can request the PTR record you need to keep big mail receivers happy." It's the outgoing smtp ports, 587 for charter and 465 for cox. They are open on my end but our IP address that most of our customers are natted through is blocked by the email servers.

The case we discuss above is Chinese ISPs renting routers located outside China and the IPs belong to other ISPs. How about the case that the IP belongs to a Chinese ISP and is located in US(from RTT result), can we say it is very likely or definitely owned/operated by the Chinese ISP? Why would some ISP try to rent routers of Chinese ISP in US? For example, a traceroute from Ohio to an IP in China. Hop 17 and hop 18 should be located in US based on the RTT, and yet they belong to a Chinese AS(China Telecom). Does this mean that Chinese Telecom is managing these two hops?

May sure when you are dealing with transnational links to watch the latency so you can tell when the link goes international. Just because you are going from a US Network provider to China Telecom doesn't mean that your not connecting to them in the united states. For example a traceroute from Denver to 27.29.128.1 which is an IP in China Telecom's network. It's about 26ms between Denver and Los Angeles. Hop 5 to Hop 6 China Telecom connects to GTT in Los Angeles Hop7/8 On Hop 8 is in the United State and Hop 9 is across the pacific. Because the latency goes from 31 ms to 183 ms.

In particular, we are interested in studying the ownership of routers on the two sides of transnational links. We have some concrete questions which we hope someone can shed some light on. Basically when we send packets from US/Canada to China, through traceroute and the RTT of each hop, we can locate the last hop in the US before the packets enter China (*there is a large jump of RTT of 100+ms from this hop onwards*). Oftentimes the ownership of such routers is ambiguous. These hops whose IPs seem to belong to US or European ISPs (*according to BGP info*) but their reverse DNS names have *chinaunicom* in it, which is a Chinese ISP. AS1299 Telia Company AB 62.115.170.57 name = chinaunicom-ic-341501-sjo-b21.c.telia.net. 62.115.33.230 name = chinaunicom-ic-302366-las-bb1.c.telia.net. 213.248.73.190 name = chinaunicom-ic-127288-sjo-b21.c.telia.net. AS701 Verizon Business 152.179.103.254 name = chinaunicom-gw.customer.alter.net. While the following routers, they don't have a reverse DNS name at all, which seem to be uncommon if they were managed by US or European ISPs but quite common for Chinese ISPs. AS6453 TATA COMMUNICATIONS (AMERICA) INC 63.243.205.90 66.110.59.118 Can anyone confirm that these are indeed managed by the Chinese ISPs (even though they are physically located in the US according to the traceroute and RTT analysis)?

Customers have their own CPE's. So far the only thing mutual here is that it's NTT -> VZ. Here is what I found so far looking at two Polycom phones using non standard ports (e.g. not 5060) 1) PhoneA tries to register multiple extensions and for each request we send a 401. We expect to get back a REGISTER request with a no-once but we don't. This happens for a while and then magically it starts working. 2) PhoneB tries to register the time time as PhoneA and has no issues. At first I thought it was something possibly with the SIP call-ID but I ruled that out since in the same SIP DIALOG it was not working then it started. Also the seems to be per phone each phone is behind NAT and the traffic is coming from a different NAT'd port. Seems like there is some device in the middle that is randomly dropping traffic on specific sessions. On Mon, May 13, 2019 at 11:40 AM Brielle Bruns <bruns () 2mbit com> wrote:

Sorry for the confusion. I mean the IPs belong to non-Chinese ISPs but are actually controlled/managed by Chinese ISPs.
this is, as I think was said earlier, normal practice. Sometimes you accept a /31 from your "provider" or "peer", sometimes they accept yours... sometimes this is because of seasons/reasons/etc, sometimes because it's how folk denote who's paying for the link in between. Those ips are not useful as a signal, which I think was also said previously in this thread.

Would you be talking about port 25/tcp outbound? Lots of ISPs will block port 25 as a rule; you have to call to have it opened.

Uniti indicates it experienced at least 33 separate fiber cuts during the recovery effort. These fiber cuts included damage to sections that already had been repaired. Commenters attributed fiber cuts to debris-removal crews, power-company restorations, and returning homeowners clearing their property.” One of my takeaways from that article was that burying fiber underground could likely have avoided many/most of these fiber cuts, though I’m not familiar enough with the terrain to know how feasible that is.

You didn’t pay anything extra to recover from natural disasters, and none of us in the field are getting paid anything extra to restore your services. No, we don’t know how long it will take. It takes what it takes. That you don’t get instant gratification doesn’t make us incompetent. It makes you ungrateful. It’s a natural disaster. These are not scheduled. Your outage is nobody’s fault. We don’t have a duty to mitigate all conceivable failures. It takes time to repair. We’re not cheating you, or loafing around. We don’t owe you any special attention because of your status or reputation. So quit whining and be thankful you’re alive, and hopefully you haven’t lost too much. Maybe pitch in and help those who have.“ I also send this to ignorant journalists and grandstanding politicians. -mel via cell On May 11, 2019, at 4:29 AM, Mike Bolitho <mikebolitho () gmail com <mailto:mikebolitho () gmail com> > wrote: Trying not to get political, here goes... Something important to keep in mind: The current administration has been getting slammed for their lack of response in the aftermath of Michael since the hurricane hit. A lot of that criticism revolves around communications infrastructure and FEMA's lack of assistance. The current administration has, time and time again, used federal agencies (specifically their presidential appointees) to defend the administration's actions or inactions. I have read the full report and it is more or less a thinly veiled hit piece. I'm not going to link them here (they are easy enough to find via Google) but there are several very good articles written by reputable tech journalists that go into greater detail responding to the report. Worth checking out. I say all of that because most of us like to hate on telecom companies (many times rightly so) but I don't think they are entirely to blame here. There's nothing Verizon or AT&T can do if their backhaul is cut by a tree or some third party clean up crew. The report is a gross oversimplification of how telecommunication infrastructure works. I think anyone here that has ever worked a storm like this can attest to the complexity and difficulty you run into during recovery. Hanlon's Razor and all but this is the FCC and I would hope they would know better. Speaking specifically to point 51, it's impossible to coordinate between the thousands of crews working to clean things up and repair physical infrastructure after a massive storm like this. Many of the people doing physical cleanup are volunteers that are fully independent of any governing body or company. It is not a telco's responsibility to know when and where those crews are working. Further, even if those crews we're calling in and letting each telco know exactly where they were, what does that provide other than an impossibly large and fluid dataset to parse for any meaningful information. - Mike Bolitho On Thu, May 9, 2019, 4:43 PM Sean Donelan wrote: The FCC has released its report and analysis of Hurricane Michael impact on communications: preparation, effect and recovery. https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-releases-report-communication-impacts-hurricane-michael-0 Conclusions and Recommendations 51. Backhaul outages loomed large as an impediment to communications recovery. Uncoordinated post-storm recovery efforts between and among communications, utility, and debris removal teams created unnecessary delays to a speedy return to service. Customers who had communications service restored – only to lose it again almost immediately because of a fiber cut – provide a clear example of how better cross-sector coordination could have improved the restoration process. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This webinar may be of some interest to those in this group: https://www.fcc.gov/small-rural-communications-provider-network-resiliency-webinar Here’s some additional color commentary on the FCC’s concerns: https://urgentcomm.com/2019/05/10/backhaul-problems-disjointed-recovery-efforts-key-causes-of-unacceptable-extended-wireless-outage-after-hurricane-michael-fcc-report-says/ "“Uniti Fiber (Uniti) provides backhaul services to Verizon Wireless in Bay and Gulf Counties. Uniti indicates it experienced at least 33 separate fiber cuts during the recovery effort. These fiber cuts included damage to sections that already had been repaired. Commenters attributed fiber cuts to debris-removal crews, power-company restorations, and returning homeowners clearing their property.” One of my takeaways from that article was that burying fiber underground could likely have avoided many/most of these fiber cuts, though I’m not familiar enough with the terrain to know how feasible that is.

You didn’t pay anything extra to recover from natural disasters, and none of us in the field are getting paid anything extra to restore your services. No, we don’t know how long it will take. It takes what it takes. That you don’t get instant gratification doesn’t make us incompetent. It makes you ungrateful. It’s a natural disaster. These are not scheduled. Your outage is nobody’s fault. We don’t have a duty to mitigate all conceivable failures. It takes time to repair. We’re not cheating you, or loafing around. We don’t owe you any special attention because of your status or reputation. So quit whining and be thankful you’re alive, and hopefully you haven’t lost too much. Maybe pitch in and help those who have.“ I also send this to ignorant journalists and grandstanding politicians. -mel via cell On May 11, 2019, at 4:29 AM, Mike Bolitho <mikebolitho () gmail com> wrote: Trying not to get political, here goes... Something important to keep in mind: The current administration has been getting slammed for their lack of response in the aftermath of Michael since the hurricane hit. A lot of that criticism revolves around communications infrastructure and FEMA's lack of assistance. The current administration has, time and time again, used federal agencies (specifically their presidential appointees) to defend the administration's actions or inactions. I have read the full report and it is more or less a thinly veiled hit piece. I'm not going to link them here (they are easy enough to find via Google) but there are several very good articles written by reputable tech journalists that go into greater detail responding to the report. Worth checking out. I say all of that because most of us like to hate on telecom companies (many times rightly so) but I don't think they are entirely to blame here. There's nothing Verizon or AT&T can do if their backhaul is cut by a tree or some third party clean up crew. The report is a gross oversimplification of how telecommunication infrastructure works. I think anyone here that has ever worked a storm like this can attest to the complexity and difficulty you run into during recovery. Hanlon's Razor and all but this is the FCC and I would hope they would know better. Speaking specifically to point 51, it's impossible to coordinate between the thousands of crews working to clean things up and repair physical infrastructure after a massive storm like this. Many of the people doing physical cleanup are volunteers that are fully independent of any governing body or company. It is not a telco's responsibility to know when and where those crews are working. Further, even if those crews we're calling in and letting each telco know exactly where they were, what does that provide other than an impossibly large and fluid dataset to parse for any meaningful information. - Mike Bolitho On Thu, May 9, 2019, 4:43 PM Sean Donelan wrote: The FCC has released its report and analysis of Hurricane Michael impact on communications: preparation, effect and recovery. https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-releases-report-communication-impacts-hurricane-michael-0 Conclusions and Recommendations 51. Backhaul outages loomed large as an impediment to communications recovery. Uncoordinated post-storm recovery efforts between and among communications, utility, and debris removal teams created unnecessary delays to a speedy return to service. Customers who had communications service restored – only to lose it again almost immediately because of a fiber cut – provide a clear example of how better cross-sector coordination could have improved the restoration process.

Well, 2 months ago, the EU parliament voted to scrap daylight saving time from 2021. This would also apply to the UK if it chooses to remain in the EU, or during the extended transition period that Theresa May is currently working. It's now up to the various EU member states to decide whether they want to remain permanently in winter or permanently in summer. Of course, the UK government aren't necessarily amused.
