Let´s make the technical aspects heard this time! [-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 20108 bytes --] I have been trying to point out for many years now, that a lot of hardware can just have it's firmware replaced with something more trustable, secure, reliable, and feature full. I was appalled at the recent BOFO (?) rules that mandated buy american for secure .... glass .... and totally ignored the firmware problem. I have not read up on rip and replace progress below, and am afraid to, if someone could summarize? Ironically, I regard Huwai's compliance with the GPL, and general open source contribution philosophy as exemplary in an industry that seemingly has forgotten the benefits of openness or the copyright provisions of that license. The president of huwai once responded to complaints by promising to open up all it's source code for inspection... (cannot find the link), but the CISCOs of the world evaporated that possibility, and the mess downstream of most chinese AND american manufacturers has to be scanned to be believed. ... a lot of huwai's consumer gear can be reflashed to OpenWrt, which is maintained by a group of very security concious folk, mostly based in germany. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Broadband Breakfast <news@broadbandcensus.com> Date: Thu, Mar 21, 2024 at 9:23 AM Subject: New Exclusive Report on 'Rip and Replace' To: Dave Taht <dave.taht@gmail.com> Broadband Breakfast Live Online Every Wednesday at 12 Noon ET View this email in your browser <https://mailchi.mp/broadbandcensus/broadband-maps-from-providers-need-to-be-checked-with-data-from-users-4746958-unsh77cz1u-4747010?e=62f1e7a8b2> <https://BroadbandBreakfast.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5637f8058831c038004b4f502&id=2942c43d06&e=62f1e7a8b2> *'RIP AND REPLACE'* The Policy and Law Behind 'Rip and Replace' <https://BroadbandBreakfast.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5637f8058831c038004b4f502&id=aa889f3f96&e=62f1e7a8b2> * <https://BroadbandBreakfast.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5637f8058831c038004b4f502&id=7a63842898&e=62f1e7a8b2>* Emerging reports signal a growing concern among telecommunications providers grappling with compliance to the Federal Communications Commission's mandate to excise problematic equipment from certain Chinese companies. Amid this regulatory melange, providers are finding themselves at a crossroads, with the daunting task of navigating stringent regulations, facing the financial brunt of equipment replacement, and contending with the ambiguity surrounding funding mechanisms for such extensive undertakings. At the heart of this unfolding scenario is the "rip and replace" program, a cornerstone initiative under the *Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act of 2019* <https://BroadbandBreakfast.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5637f8058831c038004b4f502&id=71ee2b1df3&e=62f1e7a8b2>, designed to fortify the nation's telecommunications infrastructure against potential espionage and cyber threats.

For the nation’s leading tech hub, how has this pivotal moment unfolded? How does this dovetail with the state’s ongoing initiatives aimed to drive innovation in the technology and telecom sectors? *Panel 2: California’s Pathbreaking Middle Mile Program* In 2021, California unanimously passed SB 156, earmarking a $6 billion broadband investment to bridge the statewide digital divide. More than half of the funds are funneled towards building open-access, state-owned middle mile networks with high capacity fiber. As this expansive investment fans out across the state, how is California positioned to capitalize on it? What opportunities and potential pitfalls might the state encounter along the way? *Panel 3: California’s Cost to Build* With one of the country's most extensive highway networks, California must also wrangle with the prickly issue of broadband right-of-way, which often drive up the cost of deployment. This legal clearance for deploying and maintaining broadband infrastructure along public routes often muddies the waters around broadband expansion plans. Where does the state stand on this issue? Are there still any bottlenecks that need ironing out for seamless broadband flow across the state? *Panel 4: Net Neutrality and Privacy* While federal net neutrality rules hang in limbo, California has long upheld its own law regarding the equal treatment of data, as well as its state-leading law on internet privacy With its sights on universal broadband access statewide, how does net neutrality factor into California’s game plan? What role has California’s leadership role on net neutrality and privacy had on broadband for California?

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 23387 bytes --] Recognizing this is a broad distro so I am going to ask that any use of this post comply with the Chatham House rule of non-attribution to avoid consternation for any of the organizations involved - however there is a company by the name of TrueNorth Cyber that was asked by an important part of the USG to test a router that externally and internally (at least in terms of popping the lid) to be a Cisco Router. However twice the router had run hot. And twice the router was shipped back to Cisco to verify everything was okay - and twice the bird was shipped back to the USG saying yes, everything is good. However TrueNorth does deep hardware interrogation. And with their methods they identified this was **not** a Cisco router, but rather a Huawei board claiming to be a Cisco router in terms of electronic presentation with the bus, bios, etc. And even more disturbingly the board had been in use in a very sensitive USG environment for about 10 years by that time. TrueNorth has tested other warehouses of equipment that was believed by others to be “all good” and found on average 60-65% of hardware equipment has non-standard configurations inconsistent with the described specs. Not all of this is as extreme as the above, some of instances where memory from a different vendor was employed vs. what was sold or a chipset was swapped out from the standard config - however given the identification of covert modems at U.S. shipping facilities, how many IT and networking environments have run deep hardware interrogation to confirm that the hardware they think they have - really is what it claims to be? And no - “hologram decals” on hardware won’t help you here given they can easily be spoofed. *David Bray, PhD *Principal, LeadDoAdapt Ventures, Inc. <https://www.leaddoadapt.com/> Loomis Innovation Council Co-Chair <https://napawash.org/fellow/305629> & Distinguished Fellow <https://www.cxotalk.com/bio/dr-david-bray-distinguished-fellow-stimson-center>Henry S.

Let´s make the technical aspects heard this time! Oh, how I wish that an open source programmer showing up on a white horse, with gnu emacs and a so-called "firmware" upgrade would fix all these issues. Sadly, likely not. (Also, many of us have been building systems with hot swap and active redundancy supporting live upgrades our entire careers. Then there is also BGP to deal with route changes. So, yes, here "rip and replace" is a b.s. title designed to drive passions of what's not always real!!) A TLDR story (for those needing something, something not from chat gpt, to read at night.) Early in my career we designed a router blade for an ethernet switch (very early days of ethernet switches.) The switch engineers did their work in ASICs and there was no merchant silicon in those days. The equipment market was vertical. We evaluated the various internal ASICs from the switch teams and made our selection. Note: The turn around of an ASIC can be in years so hw devices are what Amazon calls "one way doors." They call software "two way doors" as the counterpart. We were selling to the RBOCs, and in those days (not these FWA days,) the bell-heads really stressed five 9's of reliability. We needed "bug free" hw per these customer demands. So we did our homework and found the most reliable ASIC to interface into the switching fabric. The linecard sold $350M in 1990s dollars in its first year. Then we got a call from the RBOC saying their NOC was having serious data flow problems. We went into their NOC, connected up all the gazintas and gazuotas to see what was going on. Well, under certain conditions, that ASIC was causing the switching fabric to lose it's coherency with the switching decision ASIC. The switching decision was for a previous packet and not the actual packet. (Similar to what happened to some immigrants from Ellis Island that ended up in Houston, Texas vs Houston St in NYC. Seemed close but just not correct.) Yikes! We exclaimed. So we immediately went to the hardware architect and asked for a rev for the ASIC w/o the bug. He said maybe in two years, but probably not, because the ASIC volume was too low to rev it. We were up the proverbial creek. Then we came up with a software (or firmware) fix of watching via sampling the hw switching bus and the hw switching tables to see when they became incoherent. It was relatively infrequent, like a few times a month. So what did we do to actually fix this? The old ctl-alt-delete salute of the switching system. Every packet in flight was dropped and TCP state machines everywhere were signaled to go back to slow start, even though this had nothing to do with TCP congestion. This is a common practice by software to reset hardware when it loses its brain. This really is not a fix at all. The proper fix is to replace the buggy hardware, using active upgrade & swap approach and no firmware upgrade can do that when hw is too old for NRE spends. These are all just the way things really are from my experience.

Let´s make the technical aspects heard this time! [-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 33316 bytes --] Your ctrl-alt-delete story made me think of one from my childhood. When I was a kid in high school, our phone service at home had a strange bug: every night around 10:30 or so the phone lines would go dead for about two minutes. This annoyed me to no end, not just because it would drop any calls I happened to be on, but if either side called back later the phones would ring and wake up the whole damn house. I even tried asking AT&T about it but they said everything looked fine on their side. This drove me absolutely nuts, cause it was the mid-2000s and a lot of my peers were starting to have cell phones, but they didn’t work (still don’t) in the mountains outside town where I lived. For a sixteen year old it was frustrating enough to be the one kid who doesnt have a phone and can’t text, even more embarrassing to not be able to talk late at night! Anyways, I went off to college and studied computers, but occasionally thought about that bug and always wondered what on earth it could have been. Fast forward fifteen years and I’m building my first real town-scale network, serving about 500 people off a few cell towers. Some of the code I’m running keeps hitting OOM errors after about 30-40hrs of uptime, inducing network instability and unexpected crashes. The quick and dirty (and very effective) solution is to reboot the network once a day. Ideally in the middle of the night when the least number of users are active.

The switch engineers did their work in ASICs and there was no merchant silicon in those days. The equipment market was vertical. We evaluated the various internal ASICs from the switch teams and made our selection. Note: The turn around of an ASIC can be in years so hw devices are what Amazon calls "one way doors." They call software "two way doors" as the counterpart. We were selling to the RBOCs, and in those days (not these FWA days,) the bell-heads really stressed five 9's of reliability. We needed "bug free" hw per these customer demands. So we did our homework and found the most reliable ASIC to interface into the switching fabric. > > The linecard sold $350M in 1990s dollars in its first year.

This really is not a fix at all. The proper fix is to replace the buggy hardware, using active upgrade & swap approach and no firmware upgrade can do that when hw is too old for NRE spends.

Let´s make the technical aspects heard this time! Interesting story. Thanks for sharing. It seems the good ol' reboot is a form of resurrection that rebirths hardware back to an origin state. Maybe tell your sales guys, if you have any, that 30-40 hrs of uptime is quite a long time in muon years! about 2.2 μs Muons have quite short lifetimes of about 2.2 μs at rest before they decay. However due to special relativity they have much longer lifetimes while travelling at high speeds. By slowing down these high speed muons, the muon decay constant at rest and the distribution of muon lifetimes was obtained. https://www.ucl.ac.uk/~zcapg66/work/Muon.pdf Congrats on getting a network up for your community!!
