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=E2=80=99t work = (still don=E2=80=99t) 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=E2=80=99t 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=E2=80=99m building my first real = town-scale network, serving about 500 people off a few cell towers. Some = of the code I=E2=80=99m 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.

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=E2=80=99t work (still don=E2=80=99t) 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=E2=80= =99t 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=E2=80=99m building my first real town-scale network, serving about = 500 people off a few cell towers. Some of the code I=E2=80=99m 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. = Sorry, past me.

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.

I have been trying to point out for many years = now, that a lot of

&#39;RIP AND = REPLACE&#39;
THE POLICY AND LAW BEHIND &#39;RIP AND = REPLACE&#39; [3]
[4]
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 [5], designed to fortify = the
nation's telecommunications infrastructure against potential = espionage
and cyber threats.
This comprehensive effort =  [6]not only mandates the purging of
equipment from companies = like Huawei Technologies and ZTE Corporation,
deemed security risks, = but also underscores a pivotal shift towards
securing the integrity = and reliability of U.S. telecommunications
networks.
As the FCC = enforces this order, the ripple effects are palpable,
spanning legal = and financial implications for compliant companies and
operational = challenges that demand innovative solutions, all while
setting a = precedent for how national security considerations are
increasingly = shaping the telecommunications landscape.
_WHAT IS &#39;RIP AND = REPLACE&#39;?_
The rip and replace initiative, officially part of = the initiatives
under the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks = Act of 2019 [7],
is a Federal Communications Commission effort aimed = at enhancing
