NANOG,
We would like to inform you of an experiment to evaluate alternatives
for speeding up adoption of BGP route origin validation (research
paper with details [A]).
Our plan is to announce prefix 184.164.224.0/24 with a valid
standards-compliant unassigned BGP attribute from routers operated by
the PEERING testbed [B, C]. The attribute will have flags 0xe0
(optional transitive [rfc4271, S4.3]), type 0xff (reserved for
development), and size 0x20 (256bits).
Our collaborators recently ran an equivalent experiment with no
complaints or known issues [A], and so we do not anticipate any
arising. Back in 2010, an experiment using unassigned attributes by
RIPE and Duke University caused disruption in Internet routing due to
a bug in Cisco routers [D, CVE-2010-3035]. Since then, this and other
similar bugs have been patched [e.g., CVE-2013-6051], and new BGP
attributes have been assigned (BGPsec-path) and adopted (large
communities). We have successfully tested propagation of the
announcements on Cisco IOS-based routers running versions 12.2(33)SRA
and 15.3(1)S, Quagga 0.99.23.1 and 1.1.1, as well as BIRD 1.4.5 and
1.6.3.
We plan to announce 184.164.224.0/24 from 8 PEERING locations for a
predefined period of 15 minutes starting 14:30 GMT, from Monday to
Thursday, between the 7th and 22nd of January, 2019 (full schedule and
locations [E]). We will stop the experiment immediately in case any
issues arise.
Although we do not expect the experiment to cause disruption, we
welcome feedback on its safety and especially on how to make it safer.

Hello everyone,
As you will have noted earlier when we asked for volunteers to assist
with the programme, the South Asia Network Operators Group conference
returns to Bhutan, and will be held in Thimphu in January, generously
hosted by Bhutan Telecom.
The key dates are:
- conference January 9th and 10th
- tutorials January 10th and 11th
- workshops January 12th to 16th
The conference and tutorial programme is being developed by the SANOG
programme committee at the moment.
More information about the conference and training programme is on the
SANOG 33 website: http://sanog.org/sanog33/program.html
Key highlights include:
- keynote speaker: Geoff Huston, APNIC's Chief Scientist
- conference presentation on 5G by Paresh Khatri of Nokia
- tutorials on ZFS by Philip Paeps of the FreeBSD Foundation and
DataCentre design by Fuad Bin Enayet of Fiber@Home
The workshops involve 5 days of in-depth technical training on the
following topics:
- Campus Network Design & Operations, taught by Dale Smith, Nimal
Ratnayake and Md Abdul Awal of the Network Startup Resource Centre,
along with Sonam Penjor of RUB
- IPv6 Deployment, taught by Philip Smith and Tashi Phuntsho from
APNIC, along with Phurpa Rinchen from Bhutan Telecom
- Linux System Administration, taught by Hans Kuhn and Mike Jager of
the Network Startup Resource Centre, along with Tshetum Dorji and Alisha
Gurung of Bhutan Telecom
The SANOG PC would like to encourage you to register for this technical
training as soon as possible - seats are limited, and this is a superb
opportunity which should not be missed.
To register to attend SANOG 33, please go to
http://sanog.org/sanog33/reg.html or contact Bhutan Telecom directly via
<sanog33registration(a)bt.bt>. Note that early bird registration finishes
on 10th December, so please don't delay to take advantage of the special
price!
Hope to see you there!
Best wishes,
philip
